Sweeeet...
So, literally full-blown Sailfish, nothing missing?

If Carsten (stskeeps) or someone else is able to answer the 2 Qns above, that'd be great.
We really do need a solution for Alien Dalvik soon, that issue has had a big Qn mark for too long.

Try reading the post above yours, stskeeps's post is ancient now.

What is the FET Project?

Pop into that IRC channel & ask, & let us know here -or elsewhere @TMO.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

i read somewhere with the next update for the Nexus 4, the hardware adaptation kit will be released :O

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

great news.

roll on a fully functional version for the nexus 5.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Check https://together.jolla.com/question/...ins-next-week/. From the post:

We are proud to tell that we’ve reached a new milestone in the development of bringing the Sailfish OS experience to Android devices.
The product will be officially called the ‘Jolla Launcher’, and our invitation based Alpha phase testing will start next week.

and

The Alpha testing phase is targeted mainly for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 devices.
The Jolla Launcher Alpha can also be installed on many other devices running Android 4.3 or later.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

But we don't know that it's full functional yet (i.e. same as the Jolla) do we?

Oh cool, thanks!

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

What about Sailfish for the Nexus_4/5/Other & the hw dev kit, announcement on that soon too?
Personally that's way more interesting to me than the launcher...

[waits for invite...]

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Sweet! Is there an official announce for this somewhere yet? TY.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

No, it will be after next release.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

I hack .: I am... O_o

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

The next image comes out on Monday, do us a favour and not take this image into use as there's some important instructions we need to publish along with it for people to read.

Not sure about the "shockingly innovative" part, but so much for those who keep shrilling that Nokia will eventually get back tight with Jolla, looking even less likely.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Not too look a given horse in the mouth, but.. will Android support be included in the Sailfish image for Nexus 4/5?
Or does it need to be hacked in later?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

iam probably going to try it anyways hehe ;)
Instructions are already avail on XDA ;)

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

No. I base it on this. please read below:

I have my sources ;)

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Umm no you didn't, your post was before that post of stskeeps you reference.
Unless you travelled to the future you couldn't have...
Plz don't stink up the thread with silly posts (I know that's asking too much >.>)

Yeah, and? Nothing that hasn't already been shared in this thread. >.>

So on Monday you'll have a full/official announcement, with all Qns answered (1 e.g. = Alien Dalvik support), + the hw dev kit?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Sure, don`t ask if you don`t want an answer then.

Jalyst, also read this plz...


[READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!]

No, not all Qns.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

10 chars .....

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Nice. Can you comment on what, in your view, works well and what doesn't. Also, as a side note, is it good practice to you show your imei number?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

hehe no, not good karme ;) Not that I really care, but ....

I will post my experiences in a bit :)
It seems smooth so far.

EDIT: WLAN and Sound does work, when coming from clean 4.2.2 -> CM 10.1.3 -> Sailfish

First impression compared to the 1.0.4.x image. Keyboard is nicer (not unusable small characters like it was then)

Apps working as expected.

Still no Alien-Dalvik (Google apps)

Now, to 'upgrade' to 1.0.7.18

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Calls, SMS, Mail and browser works? (Except with WLAN and sound)

Does it matter what CM you are using as long as it built from 4.3?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

You need to
install stock 4.2.2 (JDQ39)
flash clockworkmod recovery
Fact. reset
Flash cm 10.1.3 fro Recovery
Flash Sailfish Image from Recovery

Yes, everything works, call, sms, wlan, mobile network.
In 1.0.7.18 the ambience image (background image)is off to the left - this was not the case with 1.0.7.16
Testing some more now

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Solid news.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Not able to enable "untrusted software install"
- but manually installing warehouse from terminal, and installing apps from warehouse (or terminal) works fine

Camera not working

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Sweet, love to hear from folks with a Nexus 5, don't really feel like being the 1st crash test dummy ;-P

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

live and let die :P
its my main purpose hehe

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Fixed in Monday's release together with Alien Dalvik? :)

Tomorrow report on battery life in standby if not heavy use? :p

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Yeah, I confirm this issue, it was also present in v1.0.5.16 on Nexus 4. So "$ pkcon install-local <filename.rpm>" is the solution.

I see no difference between Sailfish 1.0.7.16 and 1.0.5.16 with respect to Nexus 4 hardware adaptation : with no camera, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC and sensors (i.e., no automatic screen rotation).

But v1.0.7.16 on Nexus :
- seems more stable (the problem pressing Power to wake-up not working is gone, I think);
- has a first start-up screen asking the user to enter name, phone number, email, etc (I think it is for the beta testing of Sailfish Early Adopter Release for Android devices);
- has Jolla Store working without workaround;
- has no watermark underneath the UI with "SailfishOS development software";
- video is working, but no MP3 music playing (lack of codec);
- seems to spend 1% of battery for each 2 hours of usage (without SIM card, WiFi on, light use). Better than 2-3 days v1.0.5.16 and SIM card usage (calls, 3G). To be better tested.
- folders of apps work very well.

Thanks, Jolla sailors, for Sailfish v1.0.7.16 and its adaptation for Nexus 4.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Great that watermark made cracy. Such a cheap act to add it. Finallly removed :D

While we are at it. I don't see why this shouldn't work for other devices as well. Will jolla use nexus 4 or 5 as reference device? Anyone tried on nexus 7

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Anyone knows when jolla well drop this alpha to us tomorrow? Morning, evening or during the lunch break.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Hi guys, does anyone know if I will get a look in with my Samsung Galaxy S2 for Jolla Launcher beta testing??
I've had the stable 10.1.3 running as well without problem, so I'm assuming that as my SGS2 runs 10.1.3 that it should be able to run Sailfish too?, or will I still need to be coming from Android 4.2 to start with?
Regards,

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

In theory, it should be easier to support a wider array of devices for "Sailfish Android Launcher" compared to "Sailfish for Android Hw". Wait till they make their official announcements.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

SGS2 isn't in the pipeline, see this table of Sailfish Adaptation for Android devices :
https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris

Jolla will release the Hardware Adaptation Development Kit, so any community user will have the tools to port Sailfish to SGS2, etc.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Feel free to build libhybris ;) and get it running
https://github.com/mer-hybris

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Guys he was asking about the sailfish android launcher, not sailfish for android hw.
Although personally if it were me, I'd be far more interested in the latter...

Do we have all the detail on that yet, inc. when it's being officially announced etc?
