So what, XDA is a good supplement to this forum for Sailfish and Android. Just like there are forums for WP and iOS etc.
Many of us own a sh.. load of devices and do visit multiple forums. I am one LOL.

Can I ask something? :P

What will happen if I will try to flash the image of Sailfish from Nexus 4 to Galaxy S3?? Will it brick it or it will boot?

I cannot guarantee you will brick it beyond reflashing but there is a high probability for that.
What I can guarantee is that you will not be able to boot it.

Shouldnt 'brick' as it apparently doesnt do stuff related to the bootloader partitions. Will it work ?
No, the modem for one is different. Which probably will make anything to do with modem useless (at best) = calls, SMS, MMS, data, etc.

What should be done to boot?
I mean there is a video from a Galaxy S3 booting sailfish but no instructions...
The libhybris and the image of Sailfish should be made in a way to fit to the Galaxy S3 's hardware?

I am trying to understand how everything works as I am starting right now

One more thing, why on the nexus 4 you have to flash a specific image of cyanogenmod, the "mako" one?? Does it have something different from the normal one?

Iirc the i9305 video with sailfish running is posted by thp, the person doing the port, so it's still a non-public thing.

So nothing. It was more of a jokeish. I made the exact same point a few pages back.

I tried to install the nexus 4 image on my Galaxy S3 just to see what will happen... and nothing happened

I just got an error saying that this image is not for my phone.

For porting Sailfish, you have to port both libhyrbis and sailfish on the exact hardware of the phone?
