Steph Gosling's SailfishOS image for Xperia X Compact is out now.

Also g7 has created a patcher that transforms XperiaX image to be compatible with Xperia X Compact. OTA updates work with the patched image.

I guess it would be nice to keep the important informations in the first message to avoid the mess the Official thread is now.

For example, how to update, what works, what doesn't, etc.

And for the story, I tried "version --dup" to update...and no luck, I had to reflash the phone.

EDIT: Some questions I have for the moment (take this message as post-it note):

why no twitter / facebook feeds & accounts Answered
how to keep SFOS updatedAnswered...almost
how to install mce-tools (double tap to wake the phone, etc) Answered

How to install mce-tools

Code:

devel-su
pkcon install mce-tools
mcetool --set-low-power-mode=enabled
mcetool -–set-doubletap-mode=show-unlock-screen 
mcetool -i disabled
mcetool -z always

Notice you can also set:

Code:

mcetool -–set-doubletap-mode=unlock

...to unlock the phone with a double tap.

Works fine on my XC.

Thanks Romu.

Sorry I'm not too keen on keeping track of things in the first message. Most of the stuff in any other community thread usually applies to this port too, as well as actual SailfishX tricks, and reading and adding everything just leads to the first message becoming a badly formed wiki page. Plus probably running out of space eventually...

The threads will be always a mess, and I think that proper wiki would be better for this purpose.

No problem.

How to keep SFOS updated

This is where things get more complicated. This version of SFOS is specific to the X Compact, so every try of OTA update will corrupt the some phone in some way.

So, for updates, we've to wait for new images.

Alien Dalvik works on the XC. I've just bought Sailfish X to avoid problem, not sure if this will be enough though
