Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
A little addition to @sailor's very useful post:
If you would like to install Ubuntu Touch with multirom on a Nexus 5 you will need: - a modified TWRP v33: https://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...m-v24-t2571011 - the modified MultiRom apk: https://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...&postcount=580 (little more details about this can be found here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ubu...blems-t3409123) - a kexec kernel: you can find downloads on the same link where the TWRP v33 (https://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...m-v24-t2571011) or use what @sailor wrote Once you have these all, you need to install the MultiRom app on your rooted Android (main rom) then open the apk and select the version/flavour of the UT you would like to install. Note: With this TWRP (v33) the flashing zip file on any rom does not work. If I need to flash a zip file on a rom, first I flash an older TWRP twrp_multirom_hammerhead_20150630.img (can be downloaded from: http://bin.ge/dl/247675/TWRP-multiro...50630.img.html) then I boot into it to flash the zip file. Note 2: the older TWRP is not compatible with UT, so if you would like to install a different flavour or update the current one, you need to go back to TWRP v33 again. I hope this all does make sense. :) |
Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
Thank you for those hints, it's good to read that it is working. Many details to consider though. I ended up without a ROM with kexec-hardboot. Instead I booted into recovery and copied with adb pull /sdcard/TWRP TWRP the whole backup to the pc hard disk. Flashed something else, created a backup and completed the same process. To boot into the first OS again, copied the backup back adb push TWRP /sdcard/TWRP and made a restore (same process if I want to boot the second OS).
Disadvantage is of course, that it takes a bit time to switch roms (but it takes not too long actually). However I can use whatever combination I want (and there will be more space for one rom). |

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
I have an Android, multiple Sailfish versions and a UT roms are installed on my device. I can easily boot into any of them. However because the main rom is the Android, I had to figure out how to backup my other roms.
First I thought would use the rom swap function in TWRP. Unfortunately this is not supported in neither v33 and the older version if the second rom is non Android. Finally I have came up with my own solution: I boot into a Sailfish rom and as root (using tar to keep the symlinks) compress the other roms into a separate file. :D (The roms are stored in /android/media/0/multiroms/roms folder.) Then I can transfer the archived roms to a usb stick or PC to store. If I need to restore any of them, I just "un-tar" with a new name into the mentioned folder and it is ready to boot.:) Hopefully I will never have to install/setup Sailfish from scratch if I mess it up again. Because now I am able to backup and restore my Sailfish roms, I do not need to build a version for myself anymore. |

@aspergerguy Thank you for the screenshot, I got it now. There is no sim card in the device, hence the missing icon I suppose. Where you have 3G and the connection quality icon, I have a sort of grey area.
I have been using Sailfish and now just switched back to android for a while. For me UI handling of Sailfish is just sooo much better. It's easier, more fun. More beautiful too. It's really a pity there are apps and features which are just not available yet on Sailfish. |
Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
P.P.P.S. Panic over!!! I resolved it just by running "zypper dup" again. Phew...
Maybe the description of the original problem is helpful to others in that situation: I just ran "zypper ref ; zypper up" on my Nexus 5 (with 3.1.0.12 installed) and now it doesn't boot. The Google logo does not disappear and the LED is flashing green. :( P.S. "pkcon refresh; pkcon update" do not seem to help. But at least I can ssh into the device. P.P.S. I guess I am getting closer: Code:
[nemo@Sailfish ~]$ systemctl status lipstick.service |
Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
@sailor Thank you very much for this release and keeping Nexus 5 alive with SFOS - very much appreciated!!! The previous update (Hossa) made the camera useless and I was worried but now with this 3.1.0.12 (based on Seitseminen) all seems to work smoothly and the camera as well. Any chance to donate/support this work???
PS: I did not run "zypper ref ; zypper up" yet, I'll be careful but we should fix this asap! |
Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release

@MartiMasa That's not me, it's @mautz who is keeping this alive! So I do thank him too.
