yeahhhhh buuddyyy

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

If you haven't seen it yet, rusty88 from xda has made an image of sailfish for GS3!
Here are some more instructions and the download link for the image if anyone wants to give it a try :D

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Thanks everyone for sharing here what's happening at xda-dev, & elsewhere.
IIRC I saw a OnePlus One port commencing, & some other major makes/models.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Any news on the Jolla Launcher for Android. As I recollect, a beta version was going to be released in August. Thanks!

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Where did you see that??
The only things I think that are available are some apks to install on an xda thread (some are custom with some more ambiences if you haven't seen them)...

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

There really needs to be a Jolla Launcher thread @TMO for the folks who actually care about that... :rolleyes:

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Why don't you make one?
The only bad/weird thing is that there are also people doing some work on this on the xda forums and it's a pity that we can't/don't work together...
We could do something better!

P.S: Some guys there were talking about how to add more ambiences. So you had to decompile the package. It was the first time hearing about decompiling, so I have one question... When you decompile a package, does this mean you can see the whole source code, the one that the developers had wrote from the first time? If yes, why some times we bother about open source programs if it is easy to see the source code?? Sorry for this silly question :D

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

It was mentioned in post 32 of this xda thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/joll...aking-t2795771

Not sure what their source is but I thought I saw it elsewhere too (not that it makes it true!)

There have been two releases that I know of. I've tried them on my note 3 and galaxy tab pro 8.4. The first release seem to work ok but the second seemed to crash a bit too much. Currently, for me, other launchers (like ss launcher) combined with some Xposed modules (like swipe) give a better overall experience. When Android L comes out, my guess is that the gap will widen.

I just got hold of a nexus so I hope to try out sailfish on it in the near future. I actually have a Jolla phone but don't use it as a daily drive. More fun just trying to get Sailfish to work on other hardware.

I kind of wish the N9 OS could be ported to android. That was about the best overall experience for me. Very well thought out.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Personally, I'm not very interested in that area, even on my Android devices...
But there clearly needs to be one for those who are, so that it can be discussed in that thread instead of here.
Perhaps some of the regulars at the sister xda-dev threads, can be encouraged to sign-up/post @TMO too.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

This is the reason I signed up to xda too (and because right now I only has an android phone)..

Personally I care more about a working image for android phones instead of the launcher but it is nice to have a nice launcher that works good as well!
I already installed jolla on GS3 just to test it, but without sim support(yet ;)) I went directly back to android.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

I guess the launcher's still important in that it helps with greater awareness of Sailfish, but if they're going to do it, they better do it well. If it's done badly it might actually hurt them more than it helps, personally I think they should focus most of their (very limited) resources on the ports.

Anyway, my point is that launcher talk needs it's own thread, it shouldn't be continually raised here, folks are sub'd to this thread so that they can read/post about the ports. If they also want to read/post about the launcher, then they're welcome to start & sub. to a new thread for that. ;)

P.S.
I'm not criticising anyone in particular, we're all human & we all break forum netiquette occasionally, accidentally or otherwise

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

New alpha 3 version of Sailfish 1.0.8.19 for Nexus 5 was released in 18/08/2014, supporting :
- Bluetooth;
- Allow untrusted software;
- Filemanager app;
- USB connection dialogue: Developer mode, USB tethering, charging, ...;
- Devicelock.

Now there is an option to install Sailfish with multiboot.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

From a stskeeps' retweet I discovered there is a Sailfish alpha image for Nexus 7 (grouper):

Has anybody tried it?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Early Adopters 4[1] was released for Nexus 4(Mako) yesterday. I was up late installing, tweaking settings & crashing(trying to). Prelim I've verified working without error so far: talk, text, wifi & mobile data(3G/T-mobile/USA). Display customizations, sys sounds & vibrate all look good. I think I'm going to retire my n900 this long, holiday weekend...
Oh yeah, this is also running as an alternate using MultiROM[3].


Having troubles with tethering(native & JollaStore app), camera works for awhile but eventually freezes/crashes and cannot get bluetooth to start. Video's going to take some work(3rd party codecs/apps), but mp3 codec was quick & painless to fix[2].
I'm sure there's more, but it's a lot less than EA3 and this is just prelim UI feedback, I haven't looked under the hood yet.

Great job to all the people working on these ports!!!!!
Fantastic work, thank you.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I just want to share that I got 4G working by tweaking the APN settings. For anyone trying out Sailfish on an Androind device on T-Mobile try the following:

1. Go to Settings -> system -> mobile network
2. Long press Internet/WebConnect and select Edit
3. Enter the APN as: fast.t-mobile.com

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Interesting, more Android devices to load Sailfish OS on:

Hellow fellows! Happy to share this with you:

First hardware keyboard phone HTC DesireZ got a SailfishOS port!

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

I hope it comes to the Galaxy Note 4 eventually, I don't think I'll end up getting the Nexus 6.
I'm in no rush to put Sailfish on it, but hopefully approx. 1-yr from now it'll be possible...
By then though we might finally have the Jolla 2, so I'll prolly buy it, plus a nextgen Android handset.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

I did read in the past that there was MultiROM support for Sailfish on e.g. Nexus 4, but I did not see any comment whether it works also on Nexus 7 2012 Wifi.
Well, I tried it and I can confirm that it does :D

http://i60.tinypic.com/b8n7eb.jpg

It looks a bit weird to interact with a Sailfish UI scaled up 1.5x times from the Jolla device, but it feels otherwise 'home'.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

can o b possible to install sailfish on galaxy note edge on the future?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Well as for currently looking at the CM support page for Samsung Note models the edge is not out yet: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Device...%22phablet%22;
However it has been reported to be under development.

So, answer it probably yes.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

This is not the same as installing sailfish but, for fun I tried the Jolla Launcher that was in development a while back on my Edge. It actually worked pretty well but the scale was a bit off. The icons looked too big and the app drawer needs to have at least 5 columns. Don't know if there is any more development on the launcher but it would be a nice alternative to what is out there.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Is Nexus 5 almost ready for prime time, I might buy a 2nd-hand one, chuck Sailfish on it, & use it alongside my Note 4. :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Nexus 4 works quite well

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Nah, more interested in N5...

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

that is what I have, would love to stick sailfish on it.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

ive had exactly same thought ,bought a nexus 5 with broken sim slot to mess around with. the camera still doesnt work though and the sensors are all ???

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

Yeah, moving sloooooowly, wish they wouldn't prioritise N4 quite so heavily... :-/
Jolla's getting quite cheap now though, if they haven't released a J2 by the end of this year, & if I can get over the frustration of that, I may buy a Jolla instead.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

the main reason i want a nexus 5, is for te screen and ram, in sunlight I cant really read the Jolla screen, and I've had enough of the new ram managment system killing the browser or whatever am listening to.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

I'm still running Sailfish on my Nexus 5. I haven't had any issue with it as a daily driver (other than the camera).

I had bluetooth issues early on but those issues were resolved with Alpha 4. There is no way I can think of to test GPS as there is no Android compatibility (so I can't install Google Maps or Here Maps).

I don't use navigation on a daily basis and I have another device for a camera so I don't really miss running Android. My installation is also via multirom so if push came to shove and I needed navigation I can always boot over to Android.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me and I can report back here. I am currently running Alpha 6 on my Nexus 5.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

has anyone tried to port sailfisOS to Amazon firephone?

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
 

does it have a cm11 port?
