Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

I updated the out-of-date first post to give the porters of apkenv credit. The main goal is to run Android apps using the underlying Android layer. Another very promising project is the below https://github.com/shashlik/shashlik/

@gerbick: Where have you been that you ask such questions? :D

I am using SFOS on N5 for several months now. To be fair, the current status on libhybris does not reflect what the enduser should expect. Please have a look at the bugtracker.

Overall it's working well with some hiccups here and there;) My hope is that SFOS 2.0 pushes all those ports to another level.

Woefully behind the times it seems! I should have my OnePlus back in a day or so, been using my Nexus 5. Stock Android is boring. Having the ability to make calls kept me from using this earlier.

What all difficulties have you run into?

Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

On the latest alpha sometimes the homescreen just freezes. Some choppy audio. If the phone is locked it wont automatically moved onto the next track till you unlock the screen.

There the usual day to day things that annoy me.

Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

Heard some rumors from internets that Nexus 5 and possibly other phones should find applications again from Jolla store after this store upgrade.

I don't have working Nexus anymore but maybe someone wants to try if Store is working again.

Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

Thank you. Confirmed. You have to re-login to the store, thats all you need to do.

p.s. But the most apps are not listed, only a smaller amount. Fixed!

Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

Hi,
I'm a bit bored about the Jolla phone which is really underpowered...and I have a Nexus 5. So, I plan to install SFOS on this Nexus, and I have some questions:
- The wiki says "Flash SFOS over CM", I guess it has to be done in recovery with the "install zip" command, right?
- I guess there is no SFOS update OTA on the N5, right?
- My N5 is already flashed with CM12.1, shall I need to reflash with CM11 (as written in the wiki)?
- I see there is no 1.1.7.x package yet, is this "normal"?

Thanks.

Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

id say use multirom.

theres an alpha13 thats based on 1.1.7 hasnt been officially released

Re: SailfishOS on Nexus 5
 

Hi,
I tested with several configurations. with CM12, it doesn't work, period. The N5 stays locked on the Google screen.

So, CM11 is a must. And it seems to work, yeah !!

@Romu

At the moment, you won't find significantly better performance on the Nexus 5 (or any Sailfish port) than the Jolla. Both on the Jolla and other Android phones, Sailfish itself and native apps simply can't harness the performance of the hardware (I suspect very poor task scheduling).

Main reason to use Nexus 5, if you don't need Alien Dalvik, is the vastly better screen and the 2GB of RAM (which does remove the still major OOM issues on the Jolla).
