Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
See this thread for discussion & help/tips about Sailfish for the N9:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90761 I thought I'd start this thread as the one concerning port to N9 will lose focus if everyone asks/describes port to every known Android device on planet. Perhaps should focus on Nexus 4 or 7 for now as there has been some progress here. Anyways, I am not expert on this but hope to learn from you all. Here is a you tube video for a starter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaVAMGv3tI4 Thanks! LG Nexus 4/7 Samsung GS3: What we know: - Work in progress - Installation with CyanogeMod and ClockworkMod (Video) - Video 2 - 02/21/2014 Jolla announce that Sailfish will be available for Android devices on the first half of 2014 - First release for Nexus 4 |
Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Jolla not supporting android phones. Sailfish can be ported to android phones. It's two different things.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Here is a link to XDA thread that gives the latest work on porting Sailfish to Nexus 4 (with mention to some other devices). According to OP a not fully working (but getting there!) port will be out this week.

From jolla, by jolla and acording to jolla: "Sailfish OS downloadable to existing Android devices Sailfish OS has been developed to be compatible with commonly available Android hardware platforms. Due to this advanced technology, Jolla is introducing the Sailfish OS experience as downloadable software to devices running Android OS. Users can soon start to enjoy the modern, gesture based Sailfish OS in selected Android devices and also renew the lifecycle of their existing older Android devices. The Sailfish community has already ported Sailfish OS into several devices including major versions of popular Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus, and Sony Xperia. Also, porting for highly popular Chinese Xiaomi products is under work in community projects. In addition, Jolla is releasing its own Sailfish user interface launcher as an Android application, which can be used to simulate the Sailfish OS experience on Android devices. The app will be available for download in the near future from Jolla.com and from common Android market places. “We see this as a huge volume opportunity for Sailfish OS as there are close to a billion Android users globally. Many of them are looking for new user experiences to freshen up their existing devices. Last year in China alone, about 100 million devices were re-flashed after the purchase with a new operating system. This approach allows Sailfish OS to scale into volume fast without limitations. This is a scaling opportunity in a similar way as we have seen in the mobile gaming industry recently,” Antti Saarnio, Chairman of the Board of Jolla comments. Jolla will release the downloadable Sailfish OS software in phases during the first half of 2014. First, the UI launcher application is released so users can start to experience the Sailfish user interface in their existing devices running Android OS. Later Android smartphone users can get the full Sailfish OS to their devices." Dave999's source: http://jolla.com/media/documents/MWC...ment_FINAL.pdf you can't argue facts, right ;) just sit tight and you will be able to download full sailfish OS to android devices... |

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Could this eventually work on my decrepit Samsung Galaxy Player 3.6? It runs Android 2.3 gingerbread and I think Sailfish could possible make it a more usable device again.

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Meh I'd rather developers jump in and start programming for Sailfish, people say Ubuntu is going to blow Sailfish out of the water, but two things:
A. they don't have a phone... B. there also using Qt so when Ubuntu does finally arrive at the party everybody benefits. |

"Jolla will launch soon a "hardware adaptation development kit". So anyone can start porting their own Android version. Only requirement: support CyanogenMod 10.1 or higher (source: IRC)" So you'll have to determine if your device supports, at minimum, CyanogenMod 10.1. |

The main rationale he used for why they rarely cover sailfish but cover ubuntu touch heaps (even compared to the 3x main OS's) basically came down to: Quote:

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Anyone tried this on any other device? Nexus7?
Make this great and sail can blow out of proportion in no time. |

I had a go at it (thanks sledges) and the watermark really doesn't intrude so much ;-) EDIT: FWIW, I've already seen somebody mentioned this as a RC, and it isn't a RC. |

https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris It really appears as if Nexus 7 is farther along. Anyone have an idea when sailfish will be released for Nexus 7? Another piece of good news is it looks like volume +- is working for Nexus 4 which was not the case a few days ago. Cheers everyone. Exciting times ahead! |
Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
I'd suggest try CyanogenMod 10.1 on the nexus 7 and any other thing you want to run Sailfish on, and then wait for the HADK.
I'm marginally happy for Jolla to have achieved this, just hope this doesn't suck up too many resources from proper Sailfish development, and even Jolla hardware. |
Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
the s3 lte will be a good phone if sailfish will have all the drivers

If it so happens that the watermark can be removed and then some fanboi/fandroid site publishes videos of a pre-alpha Sailfish, affecting Jolla's image, then we won't get any more pre-alpha stuff to test. Remember: because some people are naughty, we can't have good things (like bringing your own bottle of water to the airport). So, I hope it isn't removable :-) |

I just hope its gone soon. No Point of discussions this issue futher. Lets agree to dissagree. Lets try to use IT, hack IT, break IT and make IT. Stskeeps...use the source and leak the force. http://images.bluegartr.com/bucket/g...13020f9c02.jpg I'm waiting for the next update. It will be Epic. |
Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Can anybody tell if the Fingerterm that comes with the Nexus 4 image is the same as the Jolla one? If it's different, can anybody try if copy/paste works in both directions? :-)

Re: Porting Sailfish to Android Devices
Motorola photon is propably the best new phone with keyboard on the market (using some mod or there is a lot of guys doing it for 40 Eur, it can be changed for changeable SIM).
I am still waiting for sailfish to be able install on this phone. I Need some replacement for my nokia n900 and combo photon+sailfish is now the only one alternative. |

Well, it will probably be a long time till Sailfish is ported to the Galaxy Note 3 (If ever...) So for now I've copied an ambience wallpaper from my Jolla phone to my GN3 and set some swipe gestures to be similar. Like swiping to right from top 1/3 left edge takes me to recent apps (I know not the same as running apps...), swiping up gets me to app drawer. Also added swiping from mid 1/3 left edge to return to home. Swipe left from right side mid 1/3 to bring up contacts and so forth. It will do for now...
