Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I tried (foolish) experiment to upgrade the OEM partition binary blob to newer version "SW_binaries_for_Xperia_AOSP_N_MR1_3.10_v13_loire" . This wasn't a good idea: At startup the graphics system seems to crash and restart once, and the camera stopped working (shows black screen). Reflashing original/working SW binaries back to the OEM partition did not fix the issue. :eek:

On positive note I found that I got EMMA to recognize the phone and reflashed back to android... I had to press the volume down button while inserting the USB cable, and it comes up with green light... Normally to get to fastboot mode the volume up key needs to be pressed and it comes up with blue light.

I'm kind of back to square one now but the issues in this sailfish image are preventing it be be a daily driver. I'm waiting on a new image, or somehow get a hold onto the official sailfish image.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Off-topic (sort of) but things like that are exactly why I can't bring myself to use Windows in any capacity in my day-to-day. Those rare occassions (admittedly not very often at all) I absolutely require Windows, it feels foreign, and accomplishing basic tasks feels like a chore.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

games are literally the only reason

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I don't even really do that anymore. I have a slick GPU passthrough setup, RX480 as host adapter and RX Vega 64 as the passthrough to a KVM windows 10 LTSB VM. Been able to max everything out without dual booting. Then there's Vulkan stuff, which is the future. I just finished playing Mad Max in full detail, natively, in Linux with the fully open-source AMD stack. No proprietary bits at all.

It's crazy!

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Finally I managed to purchase the official Sailfish X image... Credit to Firefox and SetupVPN plugin... :cool:

Most things I have tried yet work in this but the Samba app (Windows share) still have a problem.

Also the windows flasher script (BAT) worked fine. Even the large userdata partition did flash fine. (The SW package includes its own fastboot.exe binary that maybe works better than what I used before?)

Hi,
Any progress on the X Compact?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Any progress on the XZ1 compact or XZ1?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Am waiting for official support / community build for X Compact

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Hello,

been away a long time I wanted just to catch up :
have there been successes with the recent 4.4 kernels on Xperia X ?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

stephg got his X Compact (F5321) OBS build working yesterday and so I expect him to release an image soon

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Seems I might be getting a cheap X, will have to have a read of the hadk and see if I can get anything to compile this time. If I can I'd like to help with the 4.4 kernel effort though as a newbie I may not be much use...

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Does anyone know how to build a working kernel image from the image dtb file without downloading the whole android source?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Example here

https://android.googlesource.com/dev...rdConfig.mk#34

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Sorry, for being not precise enough. I compiled the kernel. unpacked hybris-boot.img. Replaced the image-dtb file and repacked the img. But this thing doesnt boot. Building an update.zip file with Anykernel2 and flashing it with TWRP also didn't work? Do i really need to repo sync the android source to build a working IMG?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

if its not complaining about deps I doubt it

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

You used? 'source build/envsetup.sh && lunch'
Maybe its possible to reduce the needed parts from the android repo, i don't want to download about 20gigs for a simple kernel compile :-D

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Yeah a long time ago when I was doing an AOSP build for bullhead

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

And how did you built the IMG file for the SailfishX community help?

I just want to add a few features to the kernel orbetter said i added some features to the kernel, but i don't know how to get a working IMG file.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Why not just clone the kernel repo and hybris-boot and build it?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Thanks, i think that was the info i needed!

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Image is now out

https://together.jolla.com/question/...mpact-release/

Installed fine on my device, but gyro/accelerometer and proximity sensor do not work.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Maybe its better to open a new thread for the

Sony xperia X compact.

Or let us wait until the first flashes it to a Sony xperia X.

edit: inserted link for the compact.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

A very good point. X Compact related discussions will continue here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1541711

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Typical that between me buying an X and it being delivered a community build is released for the compact after months of teasing and the Gemini and XA2 are added as official ports!

Still looking forward to getting my hands on the X though.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I am tossing up on whether to buy a F5121 or F5122, its hard to get a 5121. Does sailfish install on the 5122 with no extra mods? or is there a few tricks to it? Thanks

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Not true :p
There's two of them even here at TMO:

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Hi,

This thread looks old, but do you know if there is an image of Community build for Sailfish OS 2.2 for Xperia X?

I was not able to build it using the official steps.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

OK so what was your problem exactly, since I have found the build to be really simple using the "modified" HADK.
It is my gut feeling that AOSP builds even easier than Lineage.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Sounds good, but probably would be a bit more helpful with link to the modified HADK ?

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I managed to get only to this part where I should wait for the middleware, even though not sure if all the previous parts are ok (maybe there is some fine tuning that I missed as you mentioned "modified" HADK)

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Good point, by "modified HADK" I mean the procedure described here; https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Sailfish_X_Build_and_Flash

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

@coco_f2001 it seems to me you are building in virtualbox, right?
It should not make a difference but maybe it does, in this case.
I myself am using the chroot environment so cannot say offhand what is failing in your setup.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Yes I was using the link you mentioned: https://sailfishos.org/wiki/Sailfish_X_Build_and_Flash

It must be something changed in the procedure from the previous versions probably.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I am trying that on an X Compact (Sailfish X patched from here). The phone has been running Sailfish X for weeks with no issues. I went into Recovery mode (using this and this).

Except some Input/Output warnings at the beginning (but other people have had this too with no consequences), everything seemed to go well until "resize2fs /dev/sailfish/home". At this step, I get the following:

And unfortunately "e2fsck -fy /dev/sailfish/home" fails too:

Any ideas? I haven't rebooted yet because I'm afraid it will fail, but on the other hand I don't expect to receive an answer tonight. :<

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I tried to revert it to what it was with this:

But now I am in a boot loop, of course.

Back to recovery mode, it now says my root partition cannot be mounted:

I am kind of hopeless, I would really want to avoid a factory reset. I know I should have made a backup, but I was probably too confident after doing the same procedure with no issues on my Jolla C several times. Even if a factory reset or even a Sailfish X reflash are the only way, I would want to backup my $HOME from the recovery shell first, but I have no idea how to do that since my rootfs does not mount anymore.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

Oh my. Is seems I have solved it by myself (this is the miraculous part) after multiple attempts. It's late so I won't detail/analyze what I did now, but for the record, below is the history of the recovery shell showing a session where rootfs still didn't mount:

And unfortunately I can't see the history of what I did that fixed it, because I typed "exit" to return to the Recovery mode main menu and rebooted; it didn't keep the history.

From what I remember, I did something like the following (please don't paste those commands blindly, I'm not sure this is correct):

Still didn't work, went back to Recovery shell, rootfs still failed to mount:

And this time it worked. Again, please, don't reproduce these steps unless you want to bork your Xperia X. I am absolutely not sure what I listed is accurate since I may not remember exactly all commands I ran. However, it seems that the issue came from the 11G I used initially when following the Xperia X how-to I quoted, while maybe 15G was more appropriate for my device (either because the X Compact has different partition sizes, or because I had too much data on $HOME).

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

I'm trying to install Sailfish X to Sony Xperia XA2 on a Mac and I'm stuck at that point, renaming the .img did not help.

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

For an XA2 you should be using SW_binaries_for_Xperia_Android_8.1.6.4_r1_v16_nile .img and no need to change image name.https://developer.sony.com/file/down...rnel-4-4-nile/

Only problem I found that on Mac needed to use instead of

Re: Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X (community build)
 

hello,

out if curiosity, has somebody manage to built a community edition of Sailfish OS using the latest "Baseport 8" abstraction layer (like the one they use on Xperia XA2) atop of the current kernel 4.4 that Sony provides for AOSP 8.1 Oreo for the Xperia X ?
(or even the upcoming kernel 4.9 that is currently in beta at Sony and could go all.the way uo to AOSP 9 Pie)

that's even more interesting recently:
- that's not only a newer kernel that would fix some bugs.
- this is also the abstraction layer required to be running the new Android 8.1 compatibility layer ( and which the current 3.10 kernel for Android 6.0.1 used in the current abatraction layer obviously can't run)
