I hope the Fairphone lives up to its expectations in terms of HW, I think it will attract more software development if people decide to stick with it in the long run.

Every couple of weeks I've been checking for cyanogenmod ports, but none have surfaced yet, hopefully that's because all the likely candidates are working on SFOS ;)

Fingers crossed something is released by the time it's delivered :)
The community FP port is out, check reviewjolla for instructions (http://reviewjolla.blogspot.com/2016...irphone-2.html), which makes the announcement even more likely to be about the real deal (closed parts etc), fingers crossed, fullhd+2gb ram should be a nice upgrade

there is nothing so far from fairphone or Jolla about an official sailfishos support. Community version of sailfishos has been there for long. So nothing new here.
Didn't see any link in the tweet I linked, but have it your way.

That's pretty official. We know there are problems for Android using companies to also use aliendalvik.

I hope that means a solid confirm of business side progression - both sides willing to move forward. And now solving technical side. (Which should be solved with some time...)

if myriad ground want to make any money with alien dalvik they need to spread it like pollen. To all possible OEMs.

Yes, the point to take away from this is the stage they're at. It's clear from this that they're committed to trying to produce an official sailfish version, else they wouldn't be at the stage of 'trying to get aliendalvik'. Of course some showstopper may appear and ruin everything, including contract clauses, negotiation failures. Promises are impossible, there are no guarantees.

Doesn't mean we can't enjoy a little anticipation.

Re: Fairphone
 
I really don't get why so many within this community are so obsessive about the need for Alien Dalvik to the point where it's the decisive factor as to whether they purchase a Fairphone. Sure there are are Android apps you'd like, indeed there are some that I'd like to run on my N900 too, but Alien Dalvik is a closed solution which sets us all back. This community should be getting fully behind and supporting free solutions like sfdroid and Shashlik. Even if you're not a developer you can still help by testing them, logging bugs, etc. instead of relying on some proprietary solution which we have no control over. If you're going to support Alien Dalvik, you might as well just use an Android phone.

@wicket I agree 100%, well said!
Seems for some reason missing droid apps is a decisive thing, and maybe they just think official dalvik is the only solution.
