Personally, I'm not very interested in that area, even on my Android devices...
But there clearly needs to be one for those who are, so that it can be discussed in that thread instead of here.
Perhaps some of the regulars at the sister xda-dev threads, can be encouraged to sign-up/post @TMO too.

This is the reason I signed up to xda too (and because right now I only has an android phone)..

Personally I care more about a working image for android phones instead of the launcher but it is nice to have a nice launcher that works good as well!
I already installed jolla on GS3 just to test it, but without sim support(yet ) I went directly back to android.

I guess the launcher's still important in that it helps with greater awareness of Sailfish, but if they're going to do it, they better do it well. If it's done badly it might actually hurt them more than it helps, personally I think they should focus most of their (very limited) resources on the ports.

Anyway, my point is that launcher talk needs it's own thread, it shouldn't be continually raised here, folks are sub'd to this thread so that they can read/post about the ports. If they also want to read/post about the launcher, then they're welcome to start & sub. to a new thread for that.

P.S.
I'm not criticising anyone in particular, we're all human & we all break forum netiquette occasionally, accidentally or otherwise

New alpha 3 version of Sailfish 1.0.8.19 for Nexus 5 was released in 18/08/2014, supporting :
- Bluetooth;
- Allow untrusted software;
- Filemanager app;
- USB connection dialogue: Developer mode, USB tethering, charging, ...;
- Devicelock.

Now there is an option to install Sailfish with multiboot.

From a stskeeps' retweet I discovered there is a Sailfish alpha image for Nexus 7 (grouper):

Has anybody tried it?

Early Adopters 4[1] was released for Nexus 4(Mako) yesterday. I was up late installing, tweaking settings & crashing(trying to). Prelim I've verified working without error so far: talk, text, wifi & mobile data(3G/T-mobile/USA). Display customizations, sys sounds & vibrate all look good. I think I'm going to retire my n900 this long, holiday weekend...
Oh yeah, this is also running as an alternate using MultiROM[3].


Having troubles with tethering(native & JollaStore app), camera works for awhile but eventually freezes/crashes and cannot get bluetooth to start. Video's going to take some work(3rd party codecs/apps), but mp3 codec was quick & painless to fix[2].
I'm sure there's more, but it's a lot less than EA3 and this is just prelim UI feedback, I haven't looked under the hood yet.

Great job to all the people working on these ports!!!!!
Fantastic work, thank you.

That's true. Here is link for more information about port (and download links): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexu...alpha-t2859817

I just want to share that I got 4G working by tweaking the APN settings. For anyone trying out Sailfish on an Androind device on T-Mobile try the following:

1. Go to Settings -> system -> mobile network
2. Long press Internet/WebConnect and select Edit
3. Enter the APN as: fast.t-mobile.com

Interesting, more Android devices to load Sailfish OS on:
