A little extra work/investigation is still required to make the freshly introduced sailjal (firejail) support more efficient, but in general, it works fine in the current build.
Any issues and/or questions, please let me know.

I think you managed to download the first image I uploaded. That has this issue and I just realised when I uploaded it. Since the issue is fixed. I recommend you do download the image again and try that. (The image name has not changed I just built this new one a few hours after the first one.)

Thanks for the new image, I had the same problem with "server not found" on my Nexus 5.
Installed the new Image as you described.
But got the "server not Found" problem again after a while.

I installed a second SFOS rom on my Nexus 5, now the Sailfish browser continues to work perfectly.
Thanks for the great work.
I only have problems linking my Google Mail and Users. It keeps giving an "Account Error", "Could not create account".
I don't get a window where I can enter my email address and password.

Is this happening in Settings/Accounts?
Have you tried to define your google email account as a generic email? (I've defined that way when I used my gmail.)

Hello everybody,

Thanks to edp17. He helped me installing SFOS on my Nexus 5.

I have now in my Nexus 5:
Stock Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) and SFOS version 2.0.1.11 (MultiROM).
multirom-20160207-v33-hammerhead.zip installed
kernel_kexec_hammerhead_601 installed
TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20150630 installed

- What is the best SFOS version for Nexus 5?
2, 3 many versions? or 4?
For daily use give me the best version exactly.

Exemple:
AD compatibility and camera front/rear works in Whatsapp..

- If i would like to install LineageOS 18.1 (Android 11) or LineageOS 17.1 (Android 10) with my TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20150630 on recovery, is it possible? How to?
If not possible how to install android 10 or 11 with my device?

Regards

I add this here to help others too: Bear in mind that if you'd like to flash a zip file on a secondary Rom, you cannot do that with the TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20160210.img. You need the older version TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20150630.img for that.

Which is the best SFOS version?
I think it depends on what you would like to use it for. If you are happy with the native browser and apps and don't need AD, I think always the latest version is the best.
However, if you need AD, you need to stick with an older SFOS. (Although, because of the old AD, in there, many apps do not work properly or do not even start.)

Camera?
Video recording is generally broken on this base (CM12.1), so that option is not available. (In addition: on SFOS 3.3 the viewfinder displays a black screen when you take photos, this is fixed in 3.4 and 4.0)
Whatsapp will only work for texting and calling but won't work with video at all.

I cannot comment on how to install a newer android as a secondary Rom as I never needed it. You need to find a Rom that works and you trust and try it. Then let us know you experience.

Hi,

How to install TWRP_multirom_hammerhead_20150630.img if i already have mine? need to uninstal and reinstall old one? how to?
If i change twrp version, there is no pb with sfos already installed?

When you said older version for AD what version exactly you think about?

I have stock rom 6.0.1 now what is better? unofficial? for you.
What twrp version support LineageOS 17.1 or 18.1? Will it be compatible with sfos 2,3 and 4?

http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showt...#entry57516932
is this AD work with sfos 2,3 and 4? and cm12.1 / cm11 and cm13?
I think it's android 4.4 kitkat right?

How to make Whatsapp work with front camera for video call? you have a solution?

How to fix video recording in sfos? what version can do that?

Thank you
Have a good day.

To install another twrp just download the img and flash it in TWRP. Then reboot into the new TWRP and you're done.

Under older sfos versions for AD I meant 3.4 or older. AD works fine on them, however, the sfos side is older so the browser engine and other stuff are also older.

I only occasionally use android on Nexus 5 and the original 6.0.1 is enough for me. I have not experimented with newer. (I've used android 8.1 and 9 on my Galaxy S2 though.)

I don't know which TWRP version supports LOS17.1 I think any of them should be sufficient to flash though. Although, you might need to repartition your device for newer android. (I had to do it on my S2 because the /system partition was not big enough for android above 7.1.) I've not done this on the Nexus 5, so I cannot help with this.

Yes, Android 4.4 is Kitkat.

Video and camera in Whatsapp will NOT work with AD 4.4. (And I don't think you'll find anybody who will or willing try to fix it.)
My solution was not using Whatsapp at all and purchasing an official device with official Android support.

I don't know how to fix video recording in this android base. It may work on cm13 base but I am not sure. Others will comment if they know.
