Sailfish OS on Sony Xperia X Compact (community build) - Page 19 - maemo.org

p.s.: newly built zip fixed the aliendalvik issue as well

EDIT: i never did figure this one out. it was suddenly completely broken on freshly built 3.1 installs (despite working on 3.1 before), and stayed broken after updating to 3.2 with ssu. flashing 3 different times with slightly different procedures didnt fix it. also, once logged into jolla account in 3.1, it offered me the official upgrade to 3.2 (which it never did before....), and then THAT didnt fix it.

installing zip of 3.2 fixed it, no problem.

Hello Question:

Is it now safe to upgrade the compact with the gui?

[/QUOTE

Did two examples via terminal without issue but not brave enough to rely upon gui.

Hi all,
first of all thank you Eugenio for your work creating the patch, as soon as I have a working 5321 I'll head to PayPal.

I just wanted to mention this request I made to Jolla Care about a transfer of my broken Xperia X licence to my Xperia X Compact phone and got this answer:

HI,

Thank you for your message!

Since we don't support your device, we cannot transfer your licence as it won't give you any Android support or other licensed benefits.

Sincerely,
Jolla Customer Care

It's a bit of a shame the device is not supported officially as it seems to work for all of you, but coming from a small company I can understand they don't have the resources for it.

And now the patcher complains about Virtual Box Guest addtions

Code:

/usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/vagrant-2.0.2/plugins/communicators/ssh/communicator.rb:257:in `execute': Vagrant was unable to mount VirtualBox shared folders. This is usually (Vagrant::Errors::VirtualBoxMountFailed)
because the filesystem "vboxsf" is not available. This filesystem is
made available via the VirtualBox Guest Additions and kernel module.
Please verify that these guest additions are properly installed in the
guest. This is not a bug in Vagrant and is usually caused by a faulty
Vagrant box. For context, the command attempted was:

mount -t vboxsf -o uid=1000,gid=1000 vagrant /vagrant

The error output from the command was:

Did this happen to all of you? If not it might well and here is the solution to it.

18 new packages to install.

The script does finish and there is a slightly smaller patched image created. Not sure if it will work as the errors seem to be about the proprietary parts of Sailfish.

"Since we don't support your device, we cannot transfer your licence as it won't give you any Android support or other licensed benefits."

ughhhhhh. if you had just given them the IMEI without telling them the model they likely would have done it and it would have worked.

i assure you that i have a working llicense on two xperia x compacts, with official android support downloaded directly the jolla store, and predictive text, etc, AND official OTA updates (which do NOT work anymore if you dont have the license)

ooh, try this: "can you remove the IMEI from my account? im going to switch to a new xperia x, but i dont have the IMEI yet and i want it to work right away"

and then install it on an x compact and it might work!

(also, if you buy a second license, it will work as soon as you flash)

BARRING THAT, you can just download the aliendalvik RPM on your xperia X with pkcon, copy it to your xc, and use it.

Hey Wolke, thank you for your answer. I had a mail back from Jolla confirming the licence is freed from my broken Xperia X as I asked them to do. Either way, I might as well sell this X Compact for 30€ and buy another X Compact as the microphone is rubbish and people on the other end complain they don't hear me. Tried myself with the *#*#service#*#* microphone test and can confirm it is malfunctioning. Could have been mentioned in the eBay listing.
