Status

  • WLAN might not have actual connection sometimes, reconnecting to an AP usually suffices
  • GPS fix is slow due to no AGPS (ping us on #sailfishos-porters IRC if you want to help there)

Requirements for installation

Installation steps

  • Install Android base zip by following instructions: CyanogenMod website
  • Install the Sailfish OS zip on top of that Android base
  • Reboot

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: search existing http://bit.ly/port-bugs; add new http://bit.ly/port-new-bug
  • Please do not contact Jolla Care, Jolla Developer Care or phone's maker (e.g. LG, OnePlus, Google), as this is the Sailfish OS community's build for other phones

WIP Over-the-Air updates (OTA)

  1. Open shell with normal nemo user
  2. You can be on any Sailfish OS version you have installed before
  3.  Ensure that sailfish_latest_(architecture) repo on OBS points to the version you'll OTA to for best results (ping us on IRC if not sure)

Currently available OTA versions:

  • for Nexus 4: 2.0.1.11, 2.0.2.51, 2.0.5.6
  • for Nexus 5: 1.1.9.28, 2.0.0.10
  • (we're also coding an OTA update checker, sync with mal- at IRC and help with that!)

Installation:

devel-su pkcon refresh
devel-su pkcon install SDL2
# hammerhead only:
devel-su usermod -G net_bt_stack -a nemo
sync
reboot
# and enter recovery

Download appropriate .zip file:

It has been tested against SFOS 2.0.0.10, check for differences in init.rc for other versions before flashing (even though they should change rarely at this point).

  • Install this zip via TWRP (used as example here) or CWM:
    • MultiROM: via Advanced->Multirom->List Roms->your rom->Flash Zip
    • Non-MultiROM: choose to Flash Zip or adb sideload (WARNING! If you ever use fastboot boot boot.img to boot to underlying CM, sfdroid will break that! To fix, you need to put back the original libsurfaceflinger.so)
  • Reboot (might take longer than usual, screen might become unresponsive for a few seconds)
  • Launch sfdroid from the App Grid

MultiROM

Here as example we'll use hammerhead (Nexus 5) instructions. They are similar for other devices.
