I am curious about this user friendly flashtool. Will it run via USB or is it just some kind of downloadable app? Does it require Windows ?
Will it allow resetting back to Android, or even dual boot? I'm afraid that any user that ends up with a bricked device will create a lot of negative publicity.
Anyway, hope to hear soon before the last Xperia X's are sold out ..

So basically they ported sailfish to other device and want to sell it, while it has problems and even doesn't support android apps (i remind you that there are still no paid apps on jolla store). And they want it to be as a refund to tablet they did not deliver (and still did not return money, while had money to do more useless stuff)
And how is this port better than any unofficial port of the community members for other devices, which is done by only few (vs Jolla itself) and is free

I can't confirm the above - which version are you using? I get predictions in the bar without xt9 installed (see here).
Also I wouldn't describe it as "pretty terrible" - I was using it without xt9 on Fairphone 2, and found it to be useful. Then Eber42 added some fixes for different screen sizes, and it became even more useful with better predictions.

Warehouse probably isn't installing it manually because it's from a different vendor or something - try with zypper?
Anyway, this is a bit off topic here - let's continue in the okboard thread

also if people are wondering what Jolla brings to the table aside from 3rd party stuff. Its usually an insane amount of polish. Compare the Jolla 1 to any port and you can feel the difference. I was told its called productisation

AFAIK at the moment 64bit support is to run 32bit SailfishOS on 64bit devices.
So kernel is 64bit and userland is 32bit. But maybe it will change when Xperia comes.

All times are GMT. The time now is 19:20.
So from market pov, alien dalvik for mobile phones is only a side project for them since many years. Explaining maybe why they are not so keen to "upgrade" to newer engine than kitkat unless paid for by a demanding customer?
Making the importance of supporting Anbox within this community even more important btw.
On Topic sony and bootloader.
They kind of invite you to unlock to participate in "sony open device program" because "Openness is important to Sony"
bestcase: Special sony/jolla agreement that flashing tested sfos image somehow is covered by special warranty agreement, maybe if done with jollas rumored own user friendly flashtool?
Watch our weird watchfaces for mighty AsteroidOS
Performance comparison Video Sailfish 2.0 vs 1.1.9 vs 1.1.7
