I flashed my Xperia X (F5121) at the weekend and I´m enthused.

After the Blog-posts "Introducing Sailfish X" and the "New Flashing-tool"
I was a bit dissapointed first and had no high expectations.

But what I see already in the community-build is awesome and I use it as my daily driver.
Great thanks to m4r0v3r for the Image.

There is only one little thing I miss in this Sailfish-Image, but for me its very important
namely the loading of Kernel modules, which seems to be unsupported.
Missing directory: /proc/modules and /lib/modules/3.10.84-g005c3d7/kernel.
So I can't get mount.cifs running.

Is it because of community-build or do I have to do it in another way?
Maybe the support of loading kernel modules will have to be activated before building Sailfish image?


Up to now, here is my experience with the Image:

- Bluetooth: Pairing my Xperia with my linux-pc and with my car (no rSAP) works out of the box. No problems detected.

- GPS: seems to work. (Tried it only with App "GPSInfo" from JollaStore).

- SD-Card Automount: Not out of the box. But after copying the related files from sd-utils (https://git.merproject.org/mer-core/...ls/tree/master)
to the Xperia, enabling the service and restarting udev it works now like on my Jolla1.

- Wake-on doubletap: Works after installing mce-tools, (mcetool --set-doubletap-mode=show-unlock-screen, mcetool -i disabled, mcetool -z always)

- VPN: Works for me. The connection to my own openvpn-server is stable. But the GUI needs a bit adjustment:
If you have a Password-protected key you must create a plain-text file with the password in it and link to it in the GUI-VPN-advanced config.
IMHO it is not good to have the key-password in plain-text on a mobile device. Even if you chmod it to 600. Than I can also leave the password out.
To replace the standard nameserver with the vpn-nameserver, you must edit the connman.service to start connman with the --nodnsproxy option and add the nameserver in the vpn-config with connmanctl in terminal. (No settings-option in the GUI).

- Browser: Almost no problems. The only wrong view I have is on a special site of my iobroker-server. Maybe some problems with javascript. Not so bad, webcat can do it.

- Camera: Only better than Jolla1 but OK for me.

- Videorecording: doesn't work.

- Compass: Doesn't seem to work. (Tried it only with App "GPSInfo" from JollaStore).

Altogether the Image seems stable. Additionally, no connection issues occur since the weekend (knock on wood), which is especially important for me with regard to cellphone connection.

With my Jolla1 I had often connection issues. Regularly, I had to restart ofono once a day.
