you again allow changes in com.android.vending-1.apk,Code:chattr -i /opt/alien/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
and you are able to remove or phone is able to update it.
Those who know better, can correct me. :-)
After the update I "locked" it again with
Code:
chattr +i /opt/alien/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk

Now it can't update itself, right?Code:chattr +i /opt/alien/data/app/com.android.vending-1.apk
It's technically immutable which is why it's an i, in case you're interested.

Bluetooth works for the first call but then it does not work anymore, just no sound. Hope they get that fixed in the near future but I guess this is not on the top of the priority list.

IIRC you could update in the community versions, so OTA should be possible.

the current RC already has an official YUM repository with RPM packages.
It's just that you have a chicken and eggs problem :
Before having Sailfish X on your Xperia X, you don't have pkcon (or zypper, depending on your preferences) to install the RPMs to actually install Xperia X.
(And same goes for the other tools like lvm which are necessary to create the partition-scheme used by Sailfish X).
So it's much simpler to straight flash a ready-to-use image the first time and only use the YUM RPM repositories for upgrades or getting software that isn't installed by default.
(Rather than going through the manual route, which will probably require telneting into hybris-recovery.img image, copying extra stuff over netcat, manually partitionning, manually build initial RPM database, setting up reverse tether and install all the RPMs one-by-one).

An installer is usually a fairly minimal image you will boot on the hardware that runs an installer software that sets up your storage and installs the system - generally either from local repositories on the media or from repositories available over the network.
This has a range of benefits, such as being able to setup storage and other aspects of the installed systems to your liking & to best fit the given device.
Also you don't need to maintain a specific installation image for each piece of hardware, just single installer image for a wide range of hardware. For example there is just a single Fedora Workstation installation image for all 64-bit x86 computers, including Macs.

I am finding my own short-comings (copy and paste, MMS on U.S. T-mobile, bare-bones email client), but so far am warming to it. I am giving and much, much more time.
Have you tried Dolphin and Safari. Pretty great. Too bad you have to walk around with an extra phone when using sailfish.
It simply not up to my standards an if you are happy. Go, but it won’t work as well for the things I do. So I guess I will and up with a iSheep X. I guess companies prioritize safari when building stuff and no one cares for Sail when testing.
I might get over it some day but for now Im totally disappointed of the usability of the browsers.
Anyhow. Xperia X out as main phone.
