Chen, on this be careful about the selection of the Wifi+BT+FM combo chip, as in general it seems that the qualcomm offering is much easier to get working in sailfish os than its broadcom equivalent.

Particularly on the Bluetooth side, since android uses Bluedroid theres no requirement for the kernel to have any support for the BT chip at all, which appears to be the root cause of a number of sailfish ports with broken BT. That said the newer kernel in android 7 should help things there as drivers can be more easily backported from mainline.
