Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Can now sailfish port be installed on Nexus 5 with Cyanogenmod 12, 12.1 or 13

which is most stable and easiest to install

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I use the CM12.1 build as my daily device. Bluetooth, video recording is working properly, the sensor issue and some other bugs are fixed.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I made my own port last weekend based on cm12.1 and I suppose any of the cyanogenmod bases is usable as well.

This is the first day I have been using it all the time and it looks fairly good except for the three issues I still have.
None of them are dealbreakers really, since GPS gets the location after some waiting, I can disconnect BT while taling on the phone and call recording is an option I don't need every day.

when I get those fixed it will be exactly like my sbj1 minus the TOH functionality.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Yeah, I had "the sensors issue" too, meaning that none of them was recognized at all (easily seen for example by aida64)
That was fixed by flashing the sensorfix3.zip, however I was reluctant to do so since I had no proof of the identity of this package and it ails me to no end to install unknown binaries to my device...

I looked at the packet, and it contains both setting textfiles and library binaries. Does anyone know the origin/source of the libraries?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

The libraries are taken from another CM version for the Nexus or another phone. See here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=653

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

hi there i am testing also cm11 on 2.01.11 with the first sfdroid build.
I managed multirom also, but there ist also a horrible screen issue when i flashed the sfdroid under multirom any chance to get this fixed ?

after this the nexus wont boot into sailfish homescreen till i push two with three time on power button.:o

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

This issue is fixed with the new cm12.1 port.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

okay but under cm 11 sfdroid works in my opinion better.
so no chance to fix the issue under cm11?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Check the snapshot version you have installed, see the installation wiki. If i remember correctly, there was a switch from snapshot M9 to snapshot M11 which solved the issue for me.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

hi M11 is installed. :(

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Hi all,

Just picked up a (new in box!) Nexus 5 as it seemed to be the best route for a Sailfish daily driver. After much deliberation, contemplation and research, I have decided to abandon the modern two camp paradigm and focus solely on Sailfish.

That said, I'm about to start the process of installing. Am I correct in assuming that the cm121beta0 build doesn't function correctly, and I should use the cm121alpha1 build as indicated on the piratepad?

I don't care about sfdroid. I just want a working, slick device. I don't mind advanced sysadmin tasks and I'm not hoping for a bug-free existence.

If anyone could be so kind, I just want to know which build is the latest and greatest (and most functional). Also, is sensorsfix2.zip the latest?

Thanks for all of your hard work. I've always loved this community.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I have only experience on build based on cm12.1 and it works pretty well. No sfdroid on my device.

Current status of the issues I am having;

The root cause seems to be that device only works with GPS, not AGPS. (and AFAIK all other ports hace same issue)
Investigation ongoing, been debugging the GPS interface to find a way to inject ephemerals correctly.


Have not yet started investigation, this is a low-priority problem for me.


Debugged with aid of @dpurgin, raised issue#54 for the problem on github.
Now it seems that the problem is centered on pulseaudio subsytem, probably interface setup of configuration.
Investigation ongoing.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

It only took about 1-2 minutes for me after a fresh install a few days ago. Me and my Nexus were outside and i didn't notice much of a difference to my Jolla Phone with A-GPS.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

can confirm @Mautz.
For me it was under a minute outdoors to have satfix in modrana after fresh install/flash.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Can confirm this. Tested the GPS again after my last post, it only took around 20 seconds to get a satfix outdoors.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

With AGPS on the Jolla phone it usually takes half a second, so I'd say that's a slightly noticeable difference. I do mind waiting for GPS signal, because if you're looking for a GPS signal, it's because you need it right there and then, otherwise you could just take a look at any old regular map.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Just got this up and running on my Nexus 5, which was brand new in box. I only booted into android long enough to enable USB debugging so I could throw adb and fastboot commands at it.

Very happy with all of the hard work you all have done. Awesome!

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Does anyone know who to root sfdroid? I tried to flash su via the recovery(i'm using Multirom) but that didn't work.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I've run into an issue:

I cannot get MMS to work, no matter which APN/MMSC I use. I'm on T-mobile US.

Is there anyone out there that has gotten this to work on our N5? I've tried epc.tmobile.com, fast.tmobile.com, etc.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Set it to not download mms automatically and switch to 3g/2g and download the mms. It works most of the time. It does not work on 4g

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Thanks for the tip, I'll give that a go. It's a minor inconvenience and not really a deal breaker for me. Still kind of annoying though. Anyone else have any experience in making this work more consistently?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Can anyone explain how to do a local backup of contacts, calendar etc on nexus 5?

I am perfectly fine with using ssh/rsync for backing up .vault to pc, but if I understand correctly you need to create a backup from settings->backup->create before the backup is stored in .vault. Correct?

The problem is that the backup menu requires either a SD card or a cloud storage provider to be able to create a backup. I am not a big fan of cloud storage so using dropbox or onedrive is not an option and since the nexus 5 doesn't have a SD card slot I am out of options for creating the backup.

I guess it would be possible to backup $HOME, but I would prefer a specific backup file which can be used to restore from the menu.

Edit: Using SFOS 2.0.4.13

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I refer to this post, I made some time ago, where I described my way to do backup/restore. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=238

For Contacts/Calendar

In general I recommend using and following 'the other' Nexus 5 thread... http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96932

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

minimec's methdod is the only solution for now, don't know how we can emulate an sd card. you can do complete sfos backups using multirom and tar or copy commands.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Wouldn't it be possible to change the mount scripts of the SDcard to mount an USB stick instead?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

This is already done by kimmoli, called 'USBStick utils' on openrepos. Personally i have big issues as usb sticks directly freeze my Nexus 5 and i have to connect to a charger, otherwise i can't reboot. This issue is not related to the os.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Ah, i'll give it a try. Thanks for the tip!

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I tried to install it, but if i plug in an usb stick with the cable adapter nothing happens. Sailfish 2.0.1.1 over CM 12.
Hints?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

What should happen? If i remember correctly, you could choose the usb stick from filemanager etc or directly cd to the mountpoint.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

The stick gets mounted in the /media directory.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Yesterday something pretty odd happened to my Nexus5/SFOS;
The device shut down as I lost power due to forgetting that I had a half-way dry battery and left home without a charger.

After recharging and booting the device I find out that sensors are no longer working... :eek:
Noticed it immediately as orientation stays portrait all the time and when I checked the whole sensory array with Messwerk I noticed that none of the bunch work... :(

So, any suggestions how should I investigate this further, or should I just try to reflash sensors3.zip on top of the system and hope it helps the situation?

Oh, and I am on 2.0.4.14 currently.

Unfortunately I have no logs from the state where sensors did work, but here's what's in the logs currently when I reboot the device:

dmesg;

journal;

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Have you tried restarting the sensors service?
Or reinstall sensorsfix.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Thanks, It seems to be running but there's errors associated with it;

Indeed, restarting the sensorfwd daemon helped!

Now Messwerk also finds life with all the sensors, however screen rotation didn't work until I restarted lipstick :)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

Just wondering, do you keep restarting sensorfwd after each and every reboot? Or have you found a more persistent solution?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I only ever had this problem once, after that it has been just fine.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I have this problem too, after i flashed sensorfix3.zip i had to restart sensors on every reboot, so i made service for it.

Also i have a problem with wifi, it forgets password and i have to enter it on every reboot. Please answer if you have the same problem with wifi.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5
 

I don't have this problem, with sensorfix flashed and your same Sailfish image
