Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

Hi all

I want to use the volume up/down buttons on the N5 to decline and accept incoming calls. Does anyone known hiw to do this or the files that need to modify to achieve this?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

So..... Cyanogen 13.0.

Any luck? I have got that far on my N5, curious about getting to the desired endpoint of SFOS.

you're not alone :-)

for the moment, i only use sailfish on my N5 in the weekend due to missing functionality in the week during the job; bluetooth car kit not working with volvo v50, and waze navigation app not available

power consumption of sailfish compared to android is also not ideal, propably as a result of the sensors problem: from 68% to 49% overnight while i was asleep (in ± 6,5 hours)

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

Small change in the watchdog script. I've seen that when the sensors framework crashes and the sensorfwd process is killed, I can't restart the service if I don't kill the sensors.qcom process.

So, I implemented this into the script.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

 

# This checks every 1/2 minute and kills if

# sensorfwd process is eating more than 8% CPU for 1 minute

 

TERM=linux

export TERM

 

kill_count=0

 

while true; do

  sensors_pid=$(ps aux | grep sensorfwd | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')

  

  # If the process has crashed it may not be running,

  # so we restart it

  if [ -z $sensors_pid ]; then

    echo "sensorfwd not found"

    # Before restarting the service, we must first kill the sensors.qcom process

    sensors_qcom=$(ps aux | grep sensors.qcom | grep -v grep | awk '{print $2}')

    kill $sensors_qcom

    systemctl restart sensorfwd

  else

    cpu_usage=$(top -b -p $sensors_pid -n1 | grep $sensors_pid | awk '{print $9}') 

    echo $cpu_usage

    echo "CPU Usage of sensorfwd: ${cpu_usage/.*}"

    if [[ ${cpu_usage/.*} -ge 8 ]]; then

            if [[ $kill_count -ge 1 ]]; then

                    echo "CPU Usage of sensorfwd too high restarting..."

                    systemctl restart sensorfwd

                    kill_count=0

            else

                    echo "CPU Usage of sensorfwd too high! Setting kill_count + 1"

                    kill_count=$((kill_count+1))

            fi

    else

            echo "Nothing to do"

    fi

  fi  

  sleep 30

done

Now, remaining issue: the sensors framework can crash, but the process may remain alive while not eating the CPU, so we need another way to detec the crash.

do you still keep all the sensors activated with your script or only those who are most needed as proximity ?

romu	2016-04-04 09:46

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

The script is pretty basic, it deals only with the sensors framework, not matter you want or not use only specific sensors.

And it's: "Now, remaining issue...", and not "No", wrong typing, sorry.

Do you have A FP2 already? I wasn't one of the original backers, placed an order through their website quite recently (mid Feb i think).

The website said "ships in March!" but March is over and i haven't heard anything! Point being, if you order one don't expect to get it quickly. I think it'll be worth the wait though.

.

Is it just my phone or can you guys try this. I don't have any scripts monitoring the sensor processes.

I got mad at the crash one time during an important call and almost threw away my Nexus 5. I shook it so hard with anger. To my surprise, the sensor and the touch screen started working again. I have been doing this, every time my touch screen stops responding, since this happened a few days ago. It always recover if you shake it very hard and wait for few seconds. Sometimes I have to shake it few times. I shake top end of the phone to the sides and up down --hard. Don't know why this is working.

I do have an issues with SFdroid that makes me reboot once or twice a day. It feels like SF and Droid is fighting for access to disk or running out of RAM or something and the LED starts blinking red. I don't know if anyone has reported it or know any work around.

I have the same. When the LED starts blinking red just press on the power button a couple of time to keep the phone from rebooting. I'm using sfdroid on the N5 most of the time.

Maybe it is hardware related, but that doesn't answer my question:

is there no way to increase the sensitivity of the microphone?

Really happy with Sailfish OS on the Nexus 5, but I am going to have to get a different phone if I cannot make phone calls on it.

What is the approx battery life on nexus 5 with sailfish. I understand the sensor framework issue. But still just curious.

I have the same issue...red blinking led. I do exactly that. Press power one or twice or keep it pressed. Usually it doesn't reboot, but sometimes does.
Anybody knows why this is happening?

Well, to be honest it lasts less comparing to Android. But If Android does quite well the battery life so SF wouldn't be so bad at all, right?. But It always depends on your everyday use. Of course this is with sfdroid enabled and I think it makes sense. But if you disable sfdroid it lasts longer than Android ...as I remember (have sfdroid now). Hope it helps but anyway you should give it a try, despite its drawbacks or missing apps (maps or bluetooth headset connectivity) I think it worth it!.

i have to assume the phone is in deep sleep, and only a wakelock would wake it from deep sleep. am unsure how SFOS deals with wakelocks, because there an android thing.

Sfdroid is not the battery issue.
Disable the sensors that you don't need. You can't disable all. I use SFOS on the N5 with sfdroid installed and all sensors enabled for 4 hours or less and with most sensors turned off for 10 hours min. You shouldn't disable all sensors. The latest sfdrois doesn't use that much battery power.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

Hi guise,

Old n900 and n9 user, n9 broke, so I just got a nexus 5 because I need a linux phone for daily use.

Will start installing CM11 + SFOS today, but I am not being able to find What is the workaround for whatsapp.

I dont want to keep on booting to CM, is everyone using sfdroid as a workaround for having whatsapp available at all times inside sailfish??

or what is the best solution to use whatsapp thoughout the day in SFOS?

thanks

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

thank you for the valuable and timed input.

I think I will try the sfdroid route first, while I get the hang of everyday use of sailfish, I just finished the install and I have multirom cm11+SFOS will try OTA to 2.0 tomorrow.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

I'm all set and migrated to SFOS with sfdroid, all I have to say is wow, and thanks!

I will apply the monitoring script for the sensors and start installing packages and browsing the warehouse.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

The problem is nobody is able to reproduce the bug with the proximity and orientation sensors. Without way to reproduct the bug, don't expect for a fix.

I don't rely on the sensors. Do not disable the proximity and alsdpter sensors.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

I went back to base CM for daily use :(
SFOS is not for daily usage in my opinion, the red light flashing and freeze issue happened to me once a day during the first 3 days of my trial in using SFOS as main OS making it unusable, even after disabling the mentioned sensors it crashed... Also SFdroid took like 4 seconds to respond whenever i switched to it to check whatsapp.

I'll wait for a more stable version if it ever happens...thanks all

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

I just built and flashed a hybris-12.1 (cm-12.1) based hammerhead 2.0.1.7 build. This is the first build, so broken stuff is to be expected (and apparent). I grabbed cm-12.1 device and kernel repos, then rebased the mer-hybris specific commits on top.

What works:
- Radio appears to work, can't thoroughly test since this isn't my main device.
- Sound, touchscreen, screen, WiFi all are working.
- Bluetooth
- Camera now works in second build :D...Camcorder is iffy (nothing new there).

What doesn't:
- No sensors (so nothing in messwerk).
- Store won't install apps (to be expected).

Edit: Updated above.
Edit2: apparently bluetooth works.
Edit3: I've played music over bluetooth for a few minutes now, something that would have been impossible on the cm-11.0 based build. Should be interesting to see if a pebble works now :).

Edit4: The new build I'm doing has more default apps, and I'm working toward fixing camera based on lines 126+ of http://piratepad.net/hadk-faq

Edit5: Second build, fixed camera. Only thing I can verify as not working are sensors. Uploading/linking the build shortly.

Why basing on 2.0.1.7? Personally i had to downgrade because of the known issues.. Otherwise perfect.

Crikey, that went from "not much works yet" to "most stuff is now working, some of it better than the CM11 base" pretty fast!

Great work :)
