Raw GSM information app, like NetMon

GUI disk and file systemt tools.

plugin interface for networking, to add wired connections, proxies, and VPNs, like NetworkManager on the desktop.


also pluggins for most common VPNs, wired ethernet(via usb), and iodine(DNS tunnelling)

some raw NFC and raw bluetooth hacking/experimenation apps.

voice dialing.

secure delete, with UI support for wiping microSD cards securely, and file manager support for wiping files securely

Dosbox

========COMMAND LINE + INTERNALS==============
terminal emulator + bash + GNU userland.https://mat.boum.org/

command line back end for phone functions, so they can be scripted.

dsniff, aircrack-ng, nmap, tcptraceroute, netcat,hping, telnet, ftp, socat, tar, gzip, compression utills, wget, openssh, ethtool, iptraf, monit, snort, etc...

most common command line apps, for servers

crypto modules for the kernel included.(AES,TWOFISH,SERPENT, SHA-whatever)

=========Comms=============
Conversations and Contacts-
I want the same instant message and email integration from maemo5. I also want OTR and GPG integration with a GOOD, easy to use key manager. I also want the full range of libpurple protocols as a plugin too.

I also want VOIP call integration as well, like the n900 had with skype, but with any voice protocol in libpurple or added on.

USB sync to the desktop - I know its not on the phone, but could you guys write a plugin for using a USB cable to sync to various PIM(personal information management) solutions on the linux desktop:

Evolution and Thunderbird specificly.

This should not be hard. I think something like .ispersonalinformation similar to .ismediaplayer with Banshee/Rythmbox could make this easy to sync information on any removable filesystem without the need for any application specific funk.

I also want to be able to sync GPG and OTR keys from my desktop, to my phone, via a usb cable....Easily.


=========Multi-media==================
This is real big, my n900 also doubles as my mp3 player. my jolla phone, will, double as my mp3 player.

multi use media player that works like an mp3 player, and runs in the background if asked too. It would be GREAT if it had gstreamer support, and played any format gstreamer had.

Also adding support for FM radio into the media player would be awesome. Good support that captures tags, and stores presets, and can jump to a station based on keyboard input.

I wouild also like hardware support for ogg,opus,flac, and mp3, to cut down battery use, for all day music player

it also needs to sync to rhythmbox and banshee like it does on the n900.

edit:

forgot shazzaam, that AR app with all the attractions in it.

Friends (Facebook app) will be ported to SailfishOS

You nailed it there, dude. My gal has iphone for 3 weeks now and it is already boring, at least for me. She is happy with that crap. The first thing I had to do is to help her transfer the contacts to that stupid "smartphone". You won't believe, but there were 76 !!! "apps" to sort out the mess it created after the sync. I wonder, if there are 76 crapps for doing things my Nokia N73 did effortless 7 years ago, so people (i mean devs) are aware how shitty ios is. But the hordes of brainless isheep (my gal included) won't give a fcuk about that. After that it was time for selecting a song as a ringtone, and there came 38 crapps for converting an MP3 to ringtone compatible 40-second excerpt. OMG, what a rubbish!!!!

We need a bitcoin client for jolla. If I get the device later this year this will be one of my first projects if it's not already there.

mybus to get my bus times
the standard applications like music player and what not maybe something to work with unified remote.

social applications, fb, twitter, whatsapp, snapchat for fun

train times but I could always bookmark a browser page.

some sort of picture vault.

subway card

book reader

twitchtv since flash is dying.

Is there a jolla community for developers. how big is it gonna be?
Will jolla update the OS or abandon it like nokia did?

I don't like android and I am looking for a alternative here.

https://github.com/khertan/BitPurse

i will need a control centre in jolla sailfish! it wil be great if we have

talk.jolla.com
or
talk.sailfishos.org

can someone please port meebible to sailfish os
iv tried contacting the developer through the app.. though not sure if it was sent through successfully. (i assume not as its not listed here as ported)

Hahaha isn't that just sad? I feel awful you had to experience that. I recommended my girl buy a N8 and it does everything she wants and needs it too. She loves the camera on that thing.
