Thanks to liar/krnlyng (depending on where you are) sfdroid is all his hard work.

EDIT: If you really want to try it send me a PM, but it will break things.

flash this in recovery on top of Sailfish (install SDL2 if you haven't already). Click on the empty icon space in Sailfish app drawer with the sfdroid label to run CM inside Sailfish. No need for the xposed framework, Internet pass through works without it. I say Internet pass through because it doesn't matter if you have a WiFi connection in Sailfish or mobile data, both work.

Remember this is by no means finished, and still alpha quality.

There's two versions.

North America:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
CDMA: Band Class: 0/1/10
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8/19
LTE: Bands: 1/2/4/5/17/19/25/26/41

Rest of World:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: Bands: 1/2/4/5/6/8
LTE: Bands: 1/3/5/7/8/20


In the UK (and Europe) we generally use 3/7/20 which is what the Jolla supports.
That's a great point, any idea how I could check which version it is?

Model LG-D820 (North America)

Model LG-D821 (international)

You can check the back cover of your device . It says above the conformity marks.

EDIT: Or check the 3rd line of the bootloader screen. It will say "hammerhead D821" or "hammerhead D820".

Damn it, it's a D820! Well, thank you for solving the mystery

Frequencies used on the EE network:

1800 MHz........GSM/GPRS/EDGE 2G
2100 MHz........UMTS/HSDPA/HSPA+/DC-HSPA+ 3G
800 MHz..........LTE 4G (band 20)
1800 MHz........LTE 4G (band 3)
2600 MHz........LTE Advanced 4G (band 7)

So you possibly could squeeze some 1800 MHz LTE out of your device. Not all is lost.

(Note, I have not tried this procedure, so cannot vouch for its effectiveness.)

This depend how that phone will report supported networks after that change it the link

How this works:
1. Phone tells the Network what frequencies it supports
2. Network makes decision based on frequencies phone can find in that area and then network will give/move phone to specific network 2G/3G/4G and frequency
3. If there is no 1800 available in that area = you will not get it.
4. If there is = you might get it automatically depending if signal strength + congestion level + admission control + couple 10 other dynamically changing parameters in the network are better in 4G than in 3G.

All in all - Network will move you phone automatically to correct place if based on what is available and Network is optimized correctly.

I feel like I've hijacked the thread a bit, even though my problem is kind of relevant. Wanted to make sure people haven't missed this post!!

Thanks to liar/krnlyng (depending on where you are) sfdroid is all his hard work.

you may have to enable surfaceflinger in init.rc, which I may have forgotten about. I may modify the zip to include it as NR2.1 or something this evening.

Update: soft bricked my phone yesterday, will be rooting , installing multirom etc. This evening and then work on that, then I should be getting back to my app, you should pester me to make the app as I've been getting lazy

Update 2: having surprising issues re-rooting and installing multirom, not sure if I'll get time to sort them today, probably tomorrow (Monday) as I can't stand the standard DPI setting of Stock Android I don't think I can cope with it for another 2 days and have important sfdroid related testing and development to do

Hello,
I have installed Sailfish 2.0.1.7 on my nexus 5. All works very nice. But my camera wont work. At the beginning it works. Then I play a little bit with the phone and switch from front to back camera....then I geht only the camerascreen without a picture from camera. I also have flashed sfdroid. In Android the camera works...
I have removed jolla-camera and jolla-camera-settings and installed it again. No effect. I have also removed ultimaten oder pack and install it again. The camera in sailfish wont works.
Please help me... :-(

Regards ingo
