Just copying what I wrote on Facebook:

"Camera, GPS is not working on N950/N9 because the hardware support for it has never been there, even in Mer/MeeGo.com Wayland N9 images, not because Sailfish doesn't support it. Android Runtime doesn't work on N9 because the runtime is very per hardware specific. Store - did you include one jolla.com login in many different device installations, such as storing it in tarballs you've redistributed? That will cause technical problems."

In addition to that: Aard pretty well wrote that the main repositories are intentionally open, but there are bits in device or store specific repositories that cannot be distributed to every device and it's sincerely hoped that people will respect this split.

This shouldn't be an arms race as it'll ruin it for everybody that tries to enjoy Sailfish on different devices. And that's not how it should be.

As a general technical advice, stick to providing images only that are generated with 'mic' tool from a kickstart file and not manually put together. Otherwise images are practically clones of running installations and people will have problems connecting to Jolla services, have installation problems, due to all those installations being seen as one. It is also not very recommended to leave your logins in the images.
