Exactly, and the Jolla device is superior especially for the extensibility that OH provides, something that the Android ports cannot match

But be prepared to forever explain to folks why they can't have a Sailfish experience that's as good as the Jolla (or almost) & some Android ports.
SFOS/N9 is an experimental platform, very good for tinkering and general hacking. It is not meant to be a substitute for Jolla device, never.
People should understand that, and treat it as the way it exists.

There's still a great little community there, & the N9 sings far better with Harmattan right now (& prolly always will) than it does with Sailfish.
If regular progress (even if it's only minor) resumes, then we can always unlock this thread, or if a new one already exists it can be merged.
That's your opinion, and you are welcome to it. However Harmattan is unfortunately a dead platform and being mostly closed source on the important bits will unfortunately remain so. No amount of goodwill is going to change that.

Nemo/Mer on the other hand is progressing steadily and the benefits from there can be reaped on N9 device (and I am here treating also SFOS as part of Mer, it basically just being the UI layer over Mer...)
