Status

Items marked with FIX have a known fix and will be included in next release.

  • Jolla Store works.
  • Compass direction sensor not working.
  • Possibly some issues with proximity sensor during calls. (It is possible to calibrate the proximity sensor, which should fix the issues, but using the needed firmware causes poor battery life in Sailfish OS)
  • Random phone app freezes on call end.
  • Camera button not supported in Sailfish camera app.
  • Vibrator effect is very weak.
  • Double tap to wake does not work.

Requirements for installation

Installation steps

  • Current Sailfish OS installation will be overwritten when Sailfish OS installation zip is used and all data in Sailfish OS will be removed so backup everything you might need. If you want to update from and existing release check the OTA update section below
  • Requires Fairphone Opensource OS 16.11 https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-updates/3e8ac604-3cfd-41c1-8fd5-5fd6158e8a37/fp2-sibon-16.11.0-manual-userdebug.zip (or Fairphone OS 1.9.3), not tested on other releases.
  • Install Android (if not installed already) using fastboot. Only flash system.img and recovery.img. DO NOT flash other partitions.
  • If you have already installed the whole Android zip of any Fairphone release greater or equal to 16.08 then download http://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-updates/FP2-gms59-1.5.1-manual.zip, extract the files from the zip and edit the flash.bat or flash.sh scripts and remove the lines containing aboot, boot, system and recovery, then run the flash.bat or flash.sh.
  • Extract filesystem images from Android zip on your computer.
    • Enter fastboot mode on your phone by turning off device, when device is powered down press and hold volume down button and then plug USB cable.
    • Open a terminal on your computer and go to the folder where you extracted the file system images.
    • Check that the device is detected with fastboot devices
    • fastboot flash system system.img
    • fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
    • fastboot reboot
  • Sailfish OS installation
    • Copy the downloaded Sailfish OS zip to sdcard or to somewhere outside sailfish rootfs in userdata partition
    • Boot to TWRP recovery, disable Zip file signature verification and install Sailfish OTA zip over Android (without erasing system partition).
    • Reboot

WIP Over-the-Air updates (OTA)

  • Backup of Sailfish OS user files to a sdcard or to another device is strongly encouraged before updating Sailfish OS.
  • You can be on any Sailfish OS version you have installed before.
  • If you are updating from alpha1 or alpha2 you will need to manually flash system.img from Fairphone Opensource OS 16.11 fastboot image to system partition using fastboot after updating Sailfish OS.
    • Check previous chapter for instructions how to use fastboot.
    • fastboot flash system system.img
  • Open shell with normal nemo user preferrably via ssh.
  • Updating Sailfish OS via commandline: 
RELEASE=2.0.5.6

devel-su sed -i -e 's#^adaptation=.*$#adaptation=http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/testing:/hw:/%(vendor):/%(adaptation)/sailfishos_%(release)/#' /usr/share/ssu/repos.ini

ssu rr dhd
ssu rr extra
ssu ar extra http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/testing:/hw:/common/sailfishos_$RELEASE/

ssu release $RELEASE

ssu lr
# Check the output that the adaptation0 and extra repos have the correct urls 
# (note that the url for adaptation0 mentioned above has variables which will be replaced with values in ssu lr output).
# also check that no other similar repos exist.

# You may have many of OpenRepos enabled. It's recommended to disable them, even
# though version --dup will do its best-effort to isolate repositories:
ssu lr | grep openrepos

devel-su zypper clean -a
devel-su zypper ref -f

version --dup
# if above fails, try again
version --dup

# After update check using ssu lr that you have repos adaptation-community and adaptation-community-common
# if either of those is missing run these commands
# devel-su touch /usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community.ini
# devel-su touch /usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community-common.ini

ssu rr adaptation0
ssu rr extra

poweroff

Report bugs

  • Software-related bugs (Sailfish OS): first search in https://together.jolla.com. If not found, add your question and tag with "porting".
  • App bugs (e.g. an app doesn't scale well on different screens): contact its developer.
  • Problems which depend on hardware: at the Nemo Mobile Project: search existing http://bit.ly/port-bugs; add new http://bit.ly/port-new-bug.
  • Please do not contact Fairphone, Jolla Care or Jolla Developer Care, as this is community's build for other phones.
