Re: petition to add infrared port in jolla device.
 

Nemo Mobile works on the N900 - it is just a bit slow (at least was when I tried it a few months ago).

ask nokia, its upto them. I am sure jolla would doit if they get payed but not for free!

its alive and kicking http://github.com/nemomobile

and again much of nemo is also sailfishos.

Re: petition to add infrared port in jolla device.
 

MeeGo folks already stated:
"A lot of people started asking recently about the port of Sailfish to Nokia N9.
Well folks, it's not a completely finished OS yet and it's not out, so there's no one porting it to N9 yet.

BUT there WILL be a port soon after the official release of the OS.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation."

So why are you still questioning it? Jolla people showed N950s with Sailfish on it so there is obviously an img just not for general public!

Infra red ports can be useful, but would take space which might otherwise be more useful to add other hardware which might prove more useful than the IR

At the risk of extending the off-topic jabber even further...
They're not going to spend a large chunk of their resources to help with that, nor should they have to, & even if they did there's limits as-to-what can be done.
That's all been discussed/explained so many times now that it's not even funny any more, yet somehow the same group of people (not you) always "forget".
What they will do, is facilitate things as much as is legally/technically/financially feasible, in order to allow the community to do the "heavy lifting".

How much space is IR tx / rx supposed to absorb?

Take space is relative.

Maybe we should stop supporting those ever more anorexic devices.


Something thin and flat is not awesome. It is non-ergonomical, waste of batterylife and possible features.

I need my N900 to control my old DTS JVC tuner as the physical volume button is unreliable (might blow up speakers) and the original remote is lost.

Yes IR is needed even for my kitchen ventilator and frankly I could use an improvement over the N900 where I am able to record any remote controls signals into one device that can also make phone calls.

At some point an ultra-thin first gen Jolla becomes useless and lays catching dust somewhere waiting for a chance to pollute the environment.

But less so if it includes IR and gets a second life as universal remote via IR and via Wifi.
