Building Sailfish OS for Nexus 5

Revision as of 11:37, 18 July 2014

Download the HADK documentation from http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/2014-07-18_SailfishOSHardwareAdaptationDevelopmentKit.pdf

This document mentions configurations required to build Sailfish OS for Nexus 5 (hammerhead). HADK should be followed as it is and this document should be referred only to learn about build configurations specific to Nexus 5.

HADK mentions references to CM 10.1 while Nexus 5 is based on CM 11. All the steps carried out in HADK should be in context of CM 11 only.

Chapter 3

Install CM 11 instead of CM 10.1 on your device and test the functionality as mentioned in HADK.
