when there's anything new you'll most probably hear it from this forum .

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I was out for such a long time and I thought we'd have some big news about Sailfish for N9.. I'm disappointed :/
But at least the thread is alive :P

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

After flashing Ubiboot kernel my device is having reboot loops. If I disconnect USB from PC (Windpws) then phone shutdown, nothing else. Tried countless time. Same thing happens.
Any help?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

you should put at least default harmattan kernel on device before flashing ubiboot. what wrong with you? skipped tutorial article?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Followed wiki as it is.
Real problem is that my zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_301013 is corrupted.
Downloading again..
Thank You for the repy.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

be the first ;) and report

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I installed it a few minutes ago. Testing it right now, boots fine.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Does the phone function work? Does the camera work? Any audio issues with the video capture? Is the swipe n9 bug fixed? Any limitations?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Hi, the camera doesn't work. The Wifi settings screen is only shown in landscape mode, but the virtual keyboard in normal mode. Sometimes the keyboard isn't shown at all, so you can't enter your wifi password.
I haven't tried phoning someone yet. What's the swipe bug? The store is very slow, i think the whole os is kind of slow and sometimes unresponsive. And don'turn on the "show fps" option in the developer settings, it wil mess up the screen and you have to reinstall again.

I'll check out the phone function tommorow.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Any progress changes on Sailfish as a stable OS?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Sailfish is very stable OS on Jolla.
You'd better stop waiting some good progress of N9 port because nobody working on it. Better buy Jolla phone and enjoy.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

whats your feeling on the jolla phones?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

phone itself is far from hi-end, but sailfish on jolla phone is great and very hackable :)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Jolla is not available worldwide nor does it work worldwide. Maybe a Nexus port or maybe Jolla 2 will work out for us.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

If you really need you will find ways to buy it.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Sure but I'd be stuck on edge as the phone is too limited unlike the N9. Why buy a phone I can only use on data on wi-fi?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I agree, its depressing how Nokia just screwed the n9..... would be nice to have some alternative options.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I think this thread has run it's useful purpose, it's been explained many times (& in great detail) why this is never going to be feasible. Even if it gains momentum again it'll always be several steps behind mainline Sailfish & Android ports, N9 owners who want Sailfish should now be directed towards those 2 options. Harmattan is still vibrant-ish, & that's where the emphasis for the N9 should remain. All those in favour of locking this thread please say "aye", or use the "report post".

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I disagree, SFOS on N9 still remains highly usable and desirable.
There is no problem that the ported versions are behind the mainline Jolla revision.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I think it makes way more sense to set peoples expectations properly i.e...
If they want a decent/up-to-date Sailfish experience, they'll only get it on a Jolla device, or one of the main Android ports.
If they want a 2nd-rate, behind the times one, then sure, we can keep this thread open for that...
But be prepared to forever explain to folks why they can't have a Sailfish experience that's as good as the Jolla (or almost) & some Android ports.

Personally I think it makes way more sense to kill-off any interest of a port for the N9, & redirect efforts/interest back to Harmattan.
There's still a great little community there, & the N9 sings far better with Harmattan right now (& prolly always will) than it does with Sailfish.
If regular progress (even if it's only minor) resumes, then we can always unlock this thread, or if a new one already exists it can be merged.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Exactly, and the Jolla device is superior especially for the extensibility that OH provides, something that the Android ports cannot match


SFOS/N9 is an experimental platform, very good for tinkering and general hacking. It is not meant to be a substitute for Jolla device, never.
People should understand that, and treat it as the way it exists.


That's your opinion, and you are welcome to it. However Harmattan is unfortunately a dead platform and being mostly closed source on the important bits will unfortunately remain so. No amount of goodwill is going to change that.

Nemo/Mer on the other hand is progressing steadily and the benefits from there can be reaped on N9 device (and I am here treating also SFOS as part of Mer, it basically just being the UI layer over Mer...)

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

That's true, it's also true that the N9 is even worse than some of those Android ports...

And we have more than enough of that in the form of Android ports, there seems to be far more interest/progress there. If we start to get more progress on the N9 (even just a tiny bit more) & it's consistent, then a thread makes sense.

The point is though that it's not progressing steadily, it's been almost at a complete stand still for the N9. If we see signs that it's progressing regularly & at a modest pace (heck even a slow one), then ofc there should be an open/active thread. But in the absence of that, it doesn't make much sense to have one where ~90% of the posts are little more than: "Are we there yet?". It's very easy to reopen discussion if substantive & consistent progress resumes.

Anyway no big deal either way, just airing it 1st instead of doing it w.o. any consultation, so as to gauge what everyone (not just me/you) think.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Phone calls work, sms works. Its getting better, google play store shows up, I am going to do more testing today. Would be great to keep this project rolling.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Reposting the latest n9 image found in case anyone wants to test or help out. http://www.maxicep.com/forum/konu/n9...urum-1.907550/

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

there are no android support for N9 and will never be. google play, lol.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Yes,I kind of wonder at that, too :D

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

not to be rude but man make man break, maybe not you but someone else may figure a way around, i could care less about android support if the system ran and breathed some live into the n9. Many devices have had there issues and were said it would never be rooted or jailbroken etc and theory prooved different, side loading android apps may be something that could occur further down the road

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

I have been running SFOS on my Nexus 5 for about a week now. I can say that it is very usable. There really is only one huge issue and that is the camera is not working. Otherwise everything is working pretty well! I only have a couple of annoyances:

1. 4G/LTE data is not working (but voice is and 3G data works just fine)
2. BT connection issues
3. GPS is supposedly working but I have found no NAV/MAP solution for SFOS on a Nexus 5

The second one YMMV. I have issues with it staying connected to my handsfree system in my car (the connection will drop sporadically). The only time I have booted into Android is to either use MAPS or the Camera.

I kind of look at this forum as a place to discuss SFOS and not necessarily the Jolla Phone. Some of us don't have the ability to purchase the Jolla Phone due to market restrictions. This thread has been informative to me and maybe it can still be to someone else. What is the harm in leaving it unlocked?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

That's why we have this thread. For those who want to continue deluding themselves that SFOS has a reliable/solid future on the N9/950, sure, there's no harm keeping this one open.
Or perhaps we can rename this thread to something more generic & merge this into it, or redirect this thread to that one, or leave everything as is, no big deal either way.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

More news about what work in Sailfish 1.0.7.18 (compared to Sailfish 1.0.2.5 ) ?
http://www.maxicep.com/forum/konu/n9...urum-1.907550/

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Why does the 3.5G network indicator work on the ported SFOS and don't work on the Jolla? :eek:

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

Could be usable if it was in English, but not. :(

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

use google translate in the browser like the rest of the world....

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

@rcolistete check sailfish changelog for details. for N9 specially nothing new, hardware adaptation is on the same level.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

What kernel is used? Is it the same kernal as in 1.0.2.5?

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

same of course

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9 (or other)
 

So I guess filippz's kernel isn't ready yet.

Re: Porting Sailfish to N9
 

It seems some progresses were made recently. This is the link to an unstable image of Sailfish OS 1.0.8.21 with the kernel 3.5.3 for the N9.

http://t.co/b6optJVBeG

Again, this is UNSTABLE.

Edit: Ok, unstable, but if someone try, please share. I won't, my N9 is still my main phone.
