Remark
This is not the main support thread for SailfishOS on the Nexus 5 (XDA Thread) nor a discussion thread for other devices (Porting Sailfish to Android Devices). The current port is - with few minor restrictions - usable on a daily basis.



General stuff
Compared to the Jolla phone the Nexus 5 has a bigger screen, from my viewpoint a better haptic and it is a wonderful device to test different operating systems using Multirom. You can boot to some Android flavors, SFOS, Ubuntu Touch, Firefox OS ...

Current version

What's hot?
Sat, 12.12.2015: Running complete (underlying) CyanogenMod / Android within a SFOS window, see sfdroid
