Harmattan is a different beast, you will not get that working very easily.

If you want to use Harmattan, you need to look into Hurrian's kernel-plus project, that is getting at it from the other angle, adding upstream patches to the original Harmattan kernel, and that is pretty soon on 3.0 level.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Sailfish on N9 just will not support Android SW, You just have to live with that.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Dont wish to get working hacked/warez thing not designed/certified to work on your device. Jolla paid for Dalvik on every Jolla Phone, and you want to get it for free on your N9. Wrong way, IMHO.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Oops wrong thread :confused:

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Please keep Android related discussion elsewhere this is about sailfishos...

Since my Jolla reboot(will soon send to care) and my N9 also halfdead (my harmattan partition RIP) and can't reinstall harmattan because flasher does not allow me.

So now I use N9 as halfbroken mainphone with sailfishos :D until Jolla fixed... I noticed this:

* GPRS/3g not working atleast not in UI. Is there some way try enmable it in terminal maybe it lookup wrong APN or similar?

* could not hear remote person in BT headset but he could here me when in phone. Anyone seen that issue?

would be nice atleast makes above working in future. Btw. is modemdriver same as harmattan?

I am using vgrade image (not latest) btw...

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

How much space/partition is needed to run Sailfish smoothly on N9 16GB?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

i havent tested it with harmattan, but it should work with nemo and sailfish. if i find some freetime i can test it with harmattan too.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

i have tried getting the 3.5.3 kernel to work properly since a few months now

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

It wont work with harmattan without aegis or fake aegis stubs :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

aliendalvik on n9 is most likely never going to happen, due to licensing issues and technical issues such as gralloc, hwcomposer copybit and so on (mysatroker is not an issue, it works with the 3.5.3 kernel)

if you want android apps on your n9 use apkenv and if it doesnt support the apps you want: write a module for it!
another idea would be running android in a chroot as i described here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=160

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hi,

I have download the last version .37 of sailfishOS file.

If I copy the file on my N950 how can I replace the old sailfish system I already had?

What is the command line to exctract and copy+replace please.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

IMO you shouldn't be trying to port any newer kernel to Harmattan but Mer/Nemo/Sailfish.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I follow this guide to install Sailfish on my N950.

I don't know where is localized Sailfish on my N950?

/dev/mmcblk ???

How can i know?

And I want to replace the old version with a new version how can i do :( ?

EDIT:

On my ubuntu system:

Delete old sailfishOS:

rm -frv /media/Alt_OS/*

Now Install new 0.37 sailfish OS:

tar -xvjf sailfish .tar.bz2 --numeric-owner -C /media/Alt_OS/

I have a big problem now the version is not stable :(

What is the best last version for N950? 0.37 mode in landscape and a lot of bug impossible to see :(

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Well, it is whete you have installed it, obviously. When you are using ubiboot you can put your OS'es wherever you want, but usually mmcblk0p4 is used for Nemo/Sailfish.
(for example I have both Nemo and Sailfish, so my Sailfish lives on mmcblk0p5...)

As for how to replace the Sailfish installation with a new one, just mount your Sailfish partition somewhere, delete the content and extract the new FS image there, no need to do anything complicated...

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

0.37 sailfish version is not good why? when i run an application i can't see it very good the mode :(

How to fix all bug in this version?

Is it better to install 1.0.2.5 version?

If i want to add nitroid alpha5 how can i do please? with linux.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

If I put Nitroid alpha5 in Media/Alt_OS/ is it good? to boot with android?
but before remove sailfishOS.
just to test it :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

1.0.3.7 is my latest release but as you see it has issues. If you wonder why I released this then its to enable folks to help with fixing the bugs.

1.0.2.5 is a better version but again is not a 'daily driver'

Can't help with nitdroid I'm afraid.

vgrade

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

No reason to put Nitdroid on it's own partition, it is best to have it on your /home/ just as the default install is.
Nitdroid is launcehd as chroot jail, not as an own independent OS.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I installed everythin successfully, jolla workedthe first time until "please wait". now if I boot Jolla, the screen turns black and mobile shutdown after few seconds.

Anyone know an solution? Even reinstalling doesnt help!

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

vgrade will you be building 1.0.3.8 build for n9

anybody try N900?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

@odradek use 1.0.2.5, not 1.0.3.7 ;)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Before that can happen, we need the Wayland Nemo port to be completed (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91277 for more information on that).

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I have but it has same issue at 1.0.3.7 so no point in releasing until the orientation is fixed

vgrade

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I start think the noise coming from the speaker on N9 is related to wifi since this happen often when send/receive data from internet?

Can someone confirm this? Maybe the wifi can configured/tweaked to get rid of this behave, tweaking with dB settings or something?

Btw... Can someone tell if this issue exists in nemo also?

I am guessing know and have now clue where to start but if someone can point me right direction I am willing to play with it..

As said already I have f.... up harmattan anyway so would be nice get stuff working with sailfish on n9.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

After playing with my Jolla I think its related to playing of some sounds. On Jolla when removing an item from running apps screen you get a 'blip' sound, on n950 you get static

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

hmm this also happens when swipe to messageview(again where a place where it receive data from internet) in email app. Not always but randomly... AFAIK there is no sound/blip when swipe.

Another thing, I just noticed that the noise seems not happen when USB cable is connected? swiped in and out alot in email app with usb cable inserted. As soon as I disconnected and swipe in a message the noise came back...

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

How would this even work? Swiping, err, "pushing" apps from the edges of the screen seems a little difficult for me on the N900's display :D

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

if android can do swipes on n900 why sailfish can°t?
the problem is wayland

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hi vgrade,

When will that be? Is it something you can fix or we need to wait for Jolla or some other developer? Sounds like a simple fix, but I'm sure there is a lot of issues not mention here that needs to be done before it'll work. I just want to understand why... Thanks for the builds you have released, looking forward to a newer build from you.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

no it's not simple fix. it need a lot of time and nobody want to take it :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

@coderus
What about just rotate framebuffer? Thats must be enough to fix all problems what we have.
What i mean, now we have 854x480 landscape display & framebuffer. To get lipstick works well we need 480x854 framebuffer

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

omapfb.vrfb=y omapfb.rotate=1 in kernel cmdline display stays black. It seems more complicated than expected

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Ok. a Newbie on Sailfish is learnig step by step


working on terminal with zypper, Sailfish is asking for autentification on
'https://store-repository.jolla.com/releases/1.0.2.5/thirdparty/?credentials=store'

My Jolla Username and Password doesnt work.

I have seen in this thread about user and Password in

/root/.zypp/credentials.cat

but this file also doenst exist
I have installed sourayas 1.0.2.5 image
Today first time i can install apps from store and warehouse is running and i'am trying to update with warehouse

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Also its an error in Sailfish wiki

The Wiki says:

Step 3 - Flash the OpenMode!
(Optional) Remove the modified kernel warning before installing OpenMode.
Boot up Harmattan
Enable developer mode
Open terminal and type
devel-su
rootme # root's password
disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode

This will cause Problems in harmattan later.

See in Ubiboot Thread

To correctly flash the device for Open Mode, you need to ensure that the Aegis keys and credentials on the device are created with Open Mode keys, not with the default Closed Mode keys.

The Aegis key generation happens the first time a device boots after a clean flash, before user is presented with the UI of the device. Hence, it is important to make sure that the device boots up in Open Mode the first time after flashing. The way to accomplish this is what I call back-to-back flashing.

Someone can fix the wiki?

By the way, i will vote for a Open Mode wiki to collect all the Limitations, Problems and Solutions for Open mode

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Looks like Jolla is working on it :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Yay for owners of old Samsung phones.

Not so much for N9 users.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I wouldn't consider anything older than SGS 3 able to get Sailfish.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Don't blame old HW on Wayland. Its the GFX. N9 == slow, N900 even slower.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I'd love to see this on a Galaxy Note 1 or 2.
