Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

Hello everybody so that i dont think that was all asked in the other Threads so i make a new one

I have several questions to flash at a Nexus. 5
The background:
I have the Nexus 5 sold with a dual boot CM12 and SailfishOS 2.0.1.11 on ebay.
The buyer will love this phone but there are problems with the touch screen.
After a short time freezes this.
The mobile phone is then not to be used for some time (seconds or even 1 minute).
Sometimes that helps press the Power button.

Since the buyer is very nice and of flash has no idea, I offered him to flash a usable version.

I now need your suggestions and help:

The buyer for some time already used ever Jolla. 1

For determine applications he uses apps from the Android range:
Yandex and Aptoide and F-Droid.

A killer feature would be a functioning navigation app with driving instructions. (Language!)

After a telephone conversation with him would be the best variant a Sailfish and Sfdroid or perhaps a dual boot.

My questions :

My variant initially selected: CM 11 on Sailfish 1.1.9.28 via OTA update to 2.0.0.10. This variant seems to run very stable.

well 1. An update on 2.0.1.7 or 2.0.1.11 is, however, I have found the then e.g. the camera does not work properly?

2. GPS under SFDROID not working?

3. Thus, it would be pointless to install HERE Maps or?

4. Is there under SailfishOS a functioning navigation with driving instructions?

5. I have read it from what Modrana but not tested?

For possibly neuflashen an installation of CM 12.1 and SailfishOS and Sfdroid to me also question left is:

1. Are there in the latest version see also this thread still problem with the touch screen? (See the beginning of my threads)

In case of possible dual boot I need then again help.
I had already made it in to a different Nexus but I do not remember exactly how.

Such a step by step guide would be great.

So something like:

1. Cell formatting.

and then
and then u.s.w

THANK YOU VERY MUCH

p.s. Sorry for my bad english !! :(

I think multirom is the best solution.

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

So i will do the dualboot.

1. Question :

I tried cm 11 and on top Sailfish os
When the nexus is booting into Sailfish there is a horrible screen issue before the desktop arrive. Is there a chance to hide the screen failure?

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

This release.

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

Okay.

But is there still the Touchscreen issues `?

I had installed the days the cm12.0 with SFOS on top.

In this Version every 4-5 Minutes the Screen freezes an the Keyboard especially in the terminal was not usable.

:(

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

Did you also installed SFOS on top of Cyanogenmod 12.1 ?

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

No I meant that I had installed some time ago, the CM 12.0 and SFOS correctly according to instructions.
But I had several problems with the touchscreen in the variant.

My question was actually if anyone could find under CM12.1 and SFOS on top touchscreen problems.

Had anybody Problems with freezes or any similar?:o

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

I am on cm 12.1 with 2.0.2 Sailfish and do not have touchscreen issues, freezes or that distorted screen on startup or elsewhere.

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

ok thank so i do first a backup of the secondary rom.
and then. i try the 12.1 with the last sailfish version. now:D

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

So i managed it to work.

It works like a charm. thank you for all your advices ......


:D:D

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

no luck the screen issues are back. :o
and the keyboard stucks by typing a sms or similar.
the guy sends me the nexus back to me i do some tests by myself.

we have nothing change on the device.
A hardware fault is not the rease cause the android at dualboot works and everything is okay.

@mosen: can you send me your workaround?

thanks

Re: Nexus 5 SailfishOS CM11 or CM12 or Dualboot ?
 

I am not sure how i can help you.

All i did was flashing cm12.1 according to RealJohnGalts description and have no keyboard or screen issues.
But i do not have multiboot in use. TWRP is installed but i have flashed to internal.

But i fear your "customer" will not be satisfied as of yet with cm12.1 even if it runs properly. There is no audio, bluetooth and gps in sfdroid for now.

For usabillity reasons you should better try cm11.1 base again and rule out errors.
It is possible to get cm11 running without screen or key issues also, i had it but can not tell how.

Better ask someone who is more experienced with ports than me ;)
I hope you succeed!

will see. if the screen issues are history. crossed fingers.
