The filesystem. Android people would say "the ROM".

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

The problem with the N9 (and N950) is that to function fully, the device needs closed hardware drivers that are only licensed to Nokia.
So Nokia would be the only company able to port Sailfish to N9 properly, which I guess they would not even think of it.

Nemo is the closest you will get. Putting the open parts of the Sailfish UI on there could be done by the community (which this thread is about).

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

But SailfishOS was officially presented on Nokia N950, wasn't it?! You can see it clearly on the Jolla videos...

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

If you're right (and notice I do NOT assume you're not ;)), this means all the demos of Sailfish we've seen up to now, running on N950, are illegal, or Jolla had some deal with Nokia to get the drivers.

Now Nokia has officially announced it will cease the support of Symbian and Meego at the end of this years, I guess we can ask them for the driver source code.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

Jolla won't release that drivers, they can't

It would be easier to port to a nexus device?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

I attempted it, failed pretty hard on the nexus 4, couldn't get it to boot to save my life with all the kernel tweaking.

Where did you get the arm image?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

build your own using the SDK.

ah let me be clear, I was attempting to port mer, which is the core, which in theory will let sailfish run

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

Nokia can't. One word: NDA

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

Who knows? Maybe yes, maybe no. As I said, Nokia just announced the end of the Harmattan support. What's the risk of requesting? Especially if we take into account we ask for the driver source code of a 2 years phone.
