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. (Not observed in a long time but could be related to proximity sensor issues)
  • Double tap to wake does not work. (Probably not supported by firmware)
  • Youtube videos crash browser when seeking
  • Random failure of finding resolutions for secondary camera by camera module detection service during installation or update.
    • To solve the issue remove /etc/droid-cameradetect-module-main.conf and /etc/droid-cameradetect-module-front.conf and run "systemctl restart droid-cameradetect"
    • Repeat the previous instruction until both cameras work (configuration is at /etc/dconf/db/vendor.d/jolla-camera-hw.txt and the validity of resolutions for secondary camera can be checked also manually)
  • [FIX] Bluetooth LE support

Requirements for installation

Installation steps


  • If instead you want to use Sailfish OS installation zip, all data in Sailfish OS will be removed, so backup everything you might need.
  • Requires Fairphone Opensource OS 18.02 https://storage.googleapis.com/fairphone-updates/e9bc40d3-39e5-4a6f-b27f-3244f3ed9f21/fp2-sibon-18.02.0-manual-userdebug.zip (or Fairphone OS 18.02), not tested on other releases.
  • Install the required Android version (if not installed already) using fastboot and the steps below. Only flash system.img and recovery.img. DO NOT flash other partitions.
    • Sailfish OS will have a battery drain, if in the past you have installed the whole Android zip of Fairphone OS >=1.6.2 or Opensource OS >= 16.08. To fix it:
    • 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 OS zip over Android (without erasing system partition).
    • Reboot

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.
  • IMPORTANT! You will need to manually flash system.img from Fairphone Opensource OS 18.02 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:
  • Updating from 2.0.5.6 (alpha3) or 2.1.0.11 (alpha4)
RELEASE=2.1.3.7

ssu release $RELEASE

# Check the output that you have repos adaptation-community and adaptation-community-common
# if either of those is missing run these commands
