OnePlus 3T Journal
The Device pages mentioned "the usual installation instructions", but I only got pmOS on this device after flashing TWRP recovery and using the adb sideload. I edited the device page to highlight that.

After that I encountered two main problems:


 * WiFi is not recognized at the first boot, only SSH on USB works; it seems that a reboot fixes the problem (in `logread`, `wpa_supplicant` still complains about no devices found, but after that NetworkManager works ok);
 * No matter which UI I choose, I only see the bootsplash and then the screen stays on tty1 or on a blank screen with a cursor. Since I plan to use it as a low-power headless server, it's not a problem for me, but It would make a nice addition.

I settled with the fbkeyboard, but after reading about TTYescape I used apk to switch to the console ui and add ttyescape

# apk add postmarketos-ui-console ttyescape # apk del postmarketop-ui-fbkeyboard

After a reboot, I could enter the TTY with buffyboard, but no touch event is detected, so it is unusable. But a step forward!

I've noticed that pmootstrap tells me that the device is not listed as having an accelerated GPU, and it felt strange. This is because the current 6.0.2 kernel doesn't support the acceleration, but there's a stale merge request that aims at enable it and fix some other things. I found out that in the there is an upgrade of the mainline kernel version to 6.1.0; if I feel brave enough I can resume the MR and try to see if I can boot Phosh or other GUIs!
