Is there anything I'm doing wrong?

It sometimes happened to me that I had to force a complete shutdown of the device before booting sailfishos. So that might be the cause.

If that doesn't work, I would check the integrity of the sailfishos image you downloaded with sha256sum as example. I compared two files I have here and can give you the checksum:

sha256sum sailfishos-hammerhead-release-2.1.0.10-build0.3.zip

The goal is to be able to do OTA upgrades of an existing installation. Mautz is working on that.

In the meantime you have to backup/restore your data and do a fresh installation of the newer image.

I refer to this post, I made some time ago, where I described my way to do backup/restore. http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=238

For Contacts/Calendar

Code:

devel-su pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-contacts-qt5-tools
devel-su -p vcardconverter --export contacts.vcf

Code:

pkcon install nemo-qml-plugin-calendar-qt5-tools
devel-su -p icalconverter export calendar.ics

I really would like to update my 2.0.4.13 because some new apps require the new QT version, but I also need the Android compatibility...are there any news about Sfdroid or Anbox?

Yes, Sorry but it's not even close. It's my only device currently, so my window of using it for development is quite small. Main issue is getting Anbox booting, either missing dependencies, more kernel patches needed, just don't know yet, and even after we get it booting then we have the other issues, gettings sensors, camera etc. working.

The other developers liar/krnlyng and saidinesh have been busy recently and have had very limited to no time to able to help.

What is the state of this build? I have a spare Nexus 5 to flash. Should I use this one, or one based on cm 12.1?

I do think Anbox is a tantalizing potential way forward as an alternative to Alien Dalvik. I'm willing to donate a device to the developers, if that would help with the work...

It depends, if you need Android compatibility you need to use the older version based on CM12 as I'm doing. If not go with this new one (but no video recording)

The topic should be changed: SailfishOS 2.0 -> SailfishOS 2.1

I'm currently running a custom kernel with the file name:

Code:

sfos_custom_kernel_v9-btsleep-100hz.zip

I don't know where I got it from. Hmmm.
I could swear there was a link pointing to the download of the custom kernel mentioned in post #2.

Anyways. I initially had problems with enabling WIFI due to a naming mismatch between the kernel's uname and the original kernel's uname, resulting in differently named /lib/modules/[uname] directories.
(module could not be found)

In case of anybody else running into the same problem:
could resolve the issue by simply renaming (or cp -afr) the directory to the proper name, reported by `uname -r`.

Code:

# ls -1 /lib/modules
3.4.0-cyanogenmod-g0aac178
3.4.0-g00a20d5
#
