Hello,

Lurker here (from the Internet Tablet Talk days!) and an occasional contributor to the Sailfish OS community.

I'm chiming in to say that I've been working on a compatibility layer to run official Sailfish X images on the Xperia X Compact.

I've been running it as my daily driver for months (before I was running a custom-built port) and things work nicely (at least, I haven't found more bugs than the ones reported on the officiak Xperia X port).

OTAs work (tested on my own device 2.1.3 -> 2.1.4 -> 2.2.0).

OTG doesn't work and likely won't, as the Xperia X kernel does not ship drivers for the Type-C controller in the X Compact.

The main repo is available here: https://github.com/g7/droid-compat-f5321


Unfortunately another piece required (the image patcher) is not yet public because I'm not that satisfied with the code. Due to time constraints I haven't been able to prettify it, nonetheless I hope to release it sometime this or next week.


So, do not give up!


Eugenio
