Doing zypper dup wants to update many things but decided not to try it. What is the best way to update / upgrade?

OTA updates are not possible at the.moment.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
How is the new kernel coming along? Is it something I can use on daily use? Interested to try it on although the included one seems to work without a hitch as well, at least on my daily use.

Can we have a current overall status: OTA, video recording, Android support ..?

Well I can answer the last question, it's not ready, no ETA.

I'm still working on it, but i don't have the time to release it at the moment, because im renovating a house.

I want to add a few more things and some updates, hope to release it soon.

But this is my power usage on idle for the last 8 hours on my custom kernel:

I've been there too. As a result i found myself behind keyboard earning money and paying to construction guys :D Much more efficient.

Thanks for the update.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
I can not say when i'm going to release the kernel, found an annoying bug, which prevents the alarm from waking up the phone, i need to fix that before i can release the kernel.

I just tried to flash it to my N5, but it seems to before "actual boot":
if I select to boot SF in multirom, I just see the "google" logo and it stuck there.
If I however flash the same CM13 version you linked as "normal" android version, CM13 is booting fine in multirom.

Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

It sometimes happened to me that I had to force a complete shutdown of the device before booting sailfishos. So that might be the cause.

If that doesn't work, I would check the integrity of the sailfishos image you downloaded with sha256sum as example. I compared two files I have here and can give you the checksum:

sha256sum sailfishos-hammerhead-release-2.1.0.10-build0.3.zip

Thanks its working now. One more question: How is it possible to update to a new rootfs image released by you without loosing previous data?

The goal is to be able to do OTA upgrades of an existing installation. Mautz is working on that.

In the meantime you have to backup/restore your data and do a fresh installation of the newer image.

I refer to this post, I made some time ago, where I described my way to do backup/restore. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=238

For Contacts/Calendar
Code:

devel-su pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-contacts-qt5-tools
devel-su -p vcardconverter --export contacts.vcf

Code:

pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-calendar-qt5-tools
devel-su -p icalconverter export calendar.ics

I really would like to update my 2.0.4.13 because some new apps require the new QT version, but I also need the Android compatibility...are there any news about Sfdroid or Anbox?

Yes, Sorry but it's not even close. It's my only device currently, so my window of using it for development is quite small. Main issue is getting Anbox booting, either missing dependencies, more kernel patches needed, just don't know yet, and even after we get it booting then we have the other issues, gettings sensors, camera etc. working.

The other developers liar/krnlyng and saidinesh have been busy recently and have had very limited to no time to able to help.

What is the state of this build? I have a spare Nexus 5 to flash. Should I use this one, or one based on cm 12.1?

I do think Anbox is a tantalizing potential way forward as an alternative to Alien Dalvik. I'm willing to donate a device to the developers, if that would help with the work...

It depends, if you need Android compatibility you need to use the older version based on CM12 as I'm doing. If not go with this new one (but no video recording)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
I'm currently running a custom kernel with the file name:
Code:

sfos_custom_kernel_v9-btsleep-100hz.zip
I don't know where I got it from. Hmmm.
I could swear there was a link pointing to the download of the custom kernel mentioned in post #2.

Anyways. I initially had problems with enabling WIFI due to a naming mismatch between the kernel's uname and the original kernel's uname, resulting in differently named /lib/modules/[uname] directories.
(module could not be found)

In case of anybody else running into the same problem:
could resolve the issue by simply renaming (or cp -afr) the directory to the proper name, reported by `uname -r`.

Code:

# ls -1 /lib/modules
3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g0aac178
3.4.0-g00a20d5

I just got a Nexus 5 so I can finally take Sailfish out for a spin.

Just making sure I've got everything right (this is my first Android flashing experience), if I am installing this normally WITHOUT multirom, I can use my own TWRP, right? I just want to make sure that I can flash sensorsfix3.zip without issue.

mautz 2017-08-04 13:07

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
@freerunner

The kernel you flashed is for the cm12.1 relwase. I didn't released the new custom kernel for cm13 yet, since iam not satisfied with its battery usage...

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
I have been using my Nexus 5 with Sailfish for the last 4 days, and I am really enjoying it. I finally decided to give it a shot with the Xperia X build and Chen's QWERTY slider on the horizon.

I am having several issues, and I am not sure if they are specific to this build, or if they are general Sailfish issues, or problems just with my device (I bought it very cheap and very used in order to do this).

Main issues being:
-All APN information is reset on reboot.
-Bluetooth audio playback shuts off after the screen has been off for more than a minute or so. Have to unlock the phone and press play again to resume.
-MMS group chat is not supported.
-No MMS messages while on wifi.
-Bad headphone audio quality.
-Unable to connect to my Pebble via Rockpool after sucessful pairing.
-Several patches that say they work with this version of Sailfish and install without error, but do not work as they should.

Anyone with experience with this particular build, or other Sailfish builds, I would like to hear if you are experiencing these things as well.

Never had this problem, you could try the following command in the terminal:
devel-su chown -R radio:radio /var/lib/ofono

Getting the same error, you could stop the bt-sleep script and restart it after your BT connection is no longer needed. To disable the bt-sleep script run: devel-su systemctl stop bt-sleep-monitor.service to stop the script and devel-su systemctl start bt-sleep-monitor.service to start the script. Or you could try some of the BT on/off apps from openrepos. Maybe you need to disable the bt-sleep-monitor service to get these apps running, never tested this myself.

Cable or BT headphones?

After running this, I got a warning that the sleep monitor timer would still wake the monitor up.

After stopping it, I couldn't switch on BT. I turned the monitor back on, switched BT on, started playing music, then stopped the sleep monitor. That appears to have worked, though. Music played for three song with the screen off and no stops.

They were regular cable headphones.

Another "issue". I have to reset my developer mode password after each reboot, in the settings menu. Is this normal behavior? Is their a default password already set so I don't have to do this after every boot?

mautz 2017-08-10 06:49

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
What do you mean by resetting the password? Doesn't it work after a reboot, for example when using devel-su?

I apologize. I commented before thoroughly testing. When a password is entered and saved in the developer settings screen, the password (or '******' to be more precise) is shown even after hitting save. When those settings are accessed later the password line is blank. I wrongly assumed the password had to be reentered. The password is still indeed saved regardless of appearances.

Just download it from the first post, i haven't build a newer version...not much time at the moment for SFOS related things..but i'm still on it...first i want to fix my kernel issues, then release the newest SFOS build and fix OTA problems.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
I've been waiting quite a while for a new build. But I couldn't wait longer and yesterday I've installed build 0.3. Thanks for all your port works. Generally everything is very smooth. But I have some problems with the followings:
  • GPS finds my current location a bit slow (about one minute, I live in İstanbul)
  • No vibration for calls (only a small tic at the beginning)
  • "Problem with network" notification message showing after received and missing calls
  • Sometimes cellular data option not available to enable
  • Calendar doesn't show Google and Facebook events (birthdays actually)
  • There's already a way: How do I cancel tutorial? A way to skip tutorial app would be nice (I've only done three new installations, but it's still time consuming. It would be useful for ports without OTA support :))

Hi,

I would like to try this rom with my Nexus 5, but i want to ask one question before i start :)

I have a Nexus 5 with a broken power button that I removed.
In android I did few things:
- I replaced the Vol+ button mapping so i can use it as a Power button

I want to know if it is possible to do the same thing with this ROM and if you know what are the few steps to do it ?

Congrats for this rom and thank you for maintening it :)

juiceme 2017-08-24 13:42

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
Of course you can change the button mappings to whatever you want to; however that only changes the OS interpretion of the buttonset, it does not affect things like long-press-to-hard-reset which is wired on the chipset and power&volup to enter boot selection which is determined by bootloader.

And BTW just call it an OS image instead of a "ROM"...
It is such an android-centric ugly word which does not really mean what it's supposed to.
It's as wrong as using word "hacker" to mean a blackhat.

RemyL 2017-08-24 14:36

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
I'm sorry for the ROM and OS confusion and you are right.

I changed my boot settings so the phone will boot when i plug the charger and i can acces bootloader using plugin+volup.

So I will try it as soon as i can. I hope it is not too hard to do remap buttons

Thank you for you answer :)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 Nexus5 based on CM13 alpha release
 
A few questions:

1. Are links to new builds updated in the first post? I.e. if I'll install using those links, will I get the newest builds?

2. Is mtp fix included in build 3?

3. Does fixing video recording require updates to CM, or it's something to do with libhybris?

4. It says:

Quote:

You need to use this multirom recovery or you won't be able to flash sensorsfix3.zip after installation.
Does it mean sensorsfix only works with multirom method and not with "normal" one, or it means only in case of using multirom method, use that special multirom recovery?

2) MTP is working.

3) It is a problem with the SELinux implementation in Android 6.0. So it's a CM change as far as I know.

4) You need the mentioned multirom recovery to easily flash new zip files into existing ROM's. With newer multirom versions, the 'flash zip' file option doesn't work.

Hello,

So i finally decided to try this OS.
Everything seem to work perfectly. Thank you so much for your work :)

As i said in my previous post, i do not have power button anymore.
So i tried to remap my keys. I successfully found the file i needed to modify but i'm not able to modify or replace it (file is only readable)
Using the terminal i'm in root mod (using devel-su) but nothing work for now.

It would be awesome if one of you have a solution ;)

Have a nice day
Rémy

There is a quiet elegant solution for you. You can use the proximity sensor to power on the screen to something called 'low power mode' (lpm). You can then double tap on the screen to activate the user interface.

In the terminal...
Code:

devel-su pkcon install mce-tools
mcetool --set-lpmui-triggering=from-pocket,hover-over
mcetool --set-low-power-mode=enabled

I never use the power button... ;)
