I have a T-mobile GN3 and am using Tweaked rom by dwitherell. This is still Jelly Bean but KitKat is in the works. He has done a terrific job with customizations. Some other stuff: Using Nova Launcher. The clock widget is from an app called One More Clock. Some of the icons have a kitkat theme for Nova Launcher. I use GMD to make most gestures. Just noticed I'm using Boat Browser. Appropriate for this wallpaper!

There is now a 2nd release (Early Adopter Release, EA2) of Sailfish OS for Nexus 4 (mako), see the XDA Developers topic "[April 17] Sailfish OS for early adopters released for Nexus 4".

It has Sailfish OS v1.0.5.16 (released in 11/04/2014), with audio phone calls working, etc.

* Download the SailfishOS for Android image for "mako"
a. The file you want to download is :
http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-e...0.5.16-EA2.zip
b. Another flavour filled with demo content:
http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/sailfishos-mako-release-1.0.5.16-EA2-demo-content.zip


Fixes since EA1:
* Phone-calls with audio work
* Timers and alarms (with device powered on) work
* HTML5 video+audio works in Browser (tested splash on http://jolla.com )
* Update is based on SailfishOS version 1.0.5.16

Release notes and Known issues for Early Adopter Release 2 for mako/Nexus 4:
* To securely power off the device, during its boot-up keep Volume Down pressed to enter bootloader mode. Using volume keys, select "Power off" option, then press the Power key
* Settings->System->Developer Mode or About Product may freeze a bit, but resumes normal operation shortly (after display blanking)
* If not auto-detected from SIM, set-up mobile internet data settings via Settings->System->Mobile network->(long tap on the first toggle-item under "Mobile data" section)->(enter settings given by your operator)
* Phone-call audio volume does not change with volume buttons

Nexus4-specific known issues reported by the adopters:
* Chinese text input not working
* Localhost name is shown as Jolla (this is intentional)
* Chat notifications may arrive with a slight delay
* Switching between the online and offline status in the status information setting takes very long and often doesn’t switch properly
* Google contacts which are put together with different information, are now split up into several contacts in Sailfish
* The battery display seems to be a bit buggy because it loses about 15% from one second to another
* The calendar overview when filled with events seems to be a bit laggy
* The email push is not working correctly, I do not receive any emails until I push the refresh button
* Splitting words in the German translation: e.g. in the open apps on the home screen it says: "Kurzzeitmesse" and in the next line the missing "r"
* NOTE: all other Sailfish OS issues have already been reported on TJC - http://together.jolla.com - and many of them were fixed in this 1.0.5.16 release

Release notes/Known Issues since Release 1:
* We have a subtle watermark underneath the UI at all times stating "SailfishOS development software" "This is not production quality". Developer mode is activated at all times
* There has been no throughout testing of telephony related functionality (roaming, airplane mode, etc) and any use of this functionality is at your own risk
* Sensors, Device lock, Reset device, Bluetooth, USB control + MTP, Bluetooth, WLAN hotspot, Camera (photography, video recording), and video playback is not supported in this release
* Jolla account / Store is removed from the image due to problems with registering with Jolla infrastructure
* The image SW is not currently upgradeable, nor is any typically licensed multimedia codecs (MP3, etc), HERE maps, Android application compatibility layer, or word prediction for virtual keyboard preinstalled
* It is not possible to double-tap to wake up the device
* Powering off device puts it into a state of deep slumber; possible to get out of by holding power button and volume down key with a bit of persistence
* Fingerterm application may fail to launch during first attempts, and the keyboard is not at its best due to the portrait-only mode
* FPS drop while scrolling in homescreen due to non-batching when rendering of application icon grid
* Icons/graphics appear unproportionally small in browser toolbar, time select widget, and Settings favourite icons
* Multiboot/Multirom is not supported yet but we're happy if you would like to teach/help us.

We don't! This device has top of the line specs, nice size screen,
starts of with CyanogenMod, I quote

"On top of the usual NFC, dual-band WiFi, Bluetooth 4.1 plus GPS radios, the One's international version also supports LTE bands 1/3/4/7/17/38/40, as well as WCDMA bands 1/2/4/5/8. Yep, that's pretty much the whole world covered."

Why Jolla phone did not have this type of coverage escapes me...

Finally, the price is very reasonable $299 for 16GB model, $349 for 64GB model.

It's a company not being backed by a major manufacturer, bringing out a killer specced phone, for less than the Jolla.

We always got the argument for the Jolla's inferior specs that it's a small company. How exactly is OnePlus any better in this regard? How could they do this, and Jolla couldn't?

Probably thumbs nose at environmental concerns and uses slave labor. But it's for a good purpose. (Just kidding...)

EDIT: Here is more info on release date.

My first tests with Sailfish 1.0.5.16 on Nexus 4 show what is not working :
- Bluetooth, NFC, camera, GPS and some other sensors;
- Android support & Here Maps, due to licensing they are exclusive to Jolla smartphone;
- "Settings->Untrusted Software" can't be enabled, so not addtional repositories can be added, neither tapping .rpm files (but they can installed by root with "pkcon install-local file.rpm");
- landscape mode in web browser and other softwares.

Sailfish on Nexus 4 is very smooth, fast and CPU and RAM efficient (as shown by htop).

Both Nokia N9 with Sailfish 1.0.2.5 and Nexus 4 with Sailfish 1.0.5.16 are useful for anybody outside Europe without access to Jolla smartphone.

Practically zero R&D and software development costs? What these Android device manufacturers are doing is the smartphone equivalent of LEGO.
