Re: Nokia N9 KaiOs (Would it be go or not?)
 

Stupid googletranslate-joke:

"A few HMD leaders were in the operating system shop and the manager said to the secretary when he stopped at Sailfish ... 'We may take that? Kai we take?' "

Original:

"Muutama HMD:n johtaja oli käyttöjärjestelmäkaupassa ja johtaja sanoi sihteerille pysähtyessään Sailfish osastolle... 'Me otetaan ehkä tää? Kai me otetaan?' "

(may in english = ehkä = kai in finnish...)

sorry OT ;)

Re: Nokia N9 KaiOs (Would it be go or not?)
 

The linked article speculates that this is a new N9-like phone. Nobody seems to have considered the possibility that it might actually be the original Nokia N9. For those who are unaware, KaiOS is a fork of B2G/Firefox OS. romaxa already ported Firefox OS to the N9 so it wouldn't surprise me if someone has KaiOS running on it too.

Re: Nokia N9 KaiOs (Would it be go or not?)
 

Also the device is too identical to an N9,
you would expect at least minor differences from a new phone.

The USB door, the curvature of the screen, placement of the front camera, Nokia emblem, microphone, speaker and color all are much to close to an N9 for it to be anything else.

Give me that thing with a bit more RAM than the (original) N9, as well as a working port of Sailfish, and I'll buy ten to last a lifetime.

So now I am a bit confused; you say here that there are "android bits" underhood, yet I thought KaiOs is an own non-android OS implementatioin?

Re: Nokia N9 KaiOs (Would it be go or not?)
 

Either bionic or new drivers...

Re: Nokia N9 KaiOs (Would it be go or not?)
 

It is a closed fork of FirefoxOS, which worked with Android drivers. They didn't employ libhybris, but the trick was to compile Gecko for bionic instead.

Honestly, having KaiOS version of Nokia N9 would seem as disgrace of original N9 to me. If current KaiOS phones are anything to look at, it might have even lower specs than original (Nokia 8810 4G has 512 MB RAM), so coupled with closed bootloader it probably wouldn't make a nice device for porting. And as for KaiOS itself... they started based on open source project and made it completely closed source except the parts they had to open by license (Gecko engine), then turned to Google.

Re: Nokia N9 KaiOs (Would it be go or not?)
 

I saw nokia 8110 4g recently.
Not very good UI,no terminal,maybe no openmode...
I don't think it is like a modern OS.
(Maybe it's because it has't a touching screen?)
I think I won't like it.
Maybe I will think about it if it has MUCH BETTER hardware and terminal and openmode or open bootloader :)
