beforehand if you want to be cautious. You have been warned!

Please note, an official guide is coming up from Jolla, which demonstrates this entire process into making an image. This guide will be updated with instructions regarding that.

Very interesting to know that Jolla will give an official guide to install Sailfish OS over Nemo Mobile on Nokia N9.

PS: I've not yet tried this installation.

Well, for starters many people don't want android apps.

That's a closed/proprietary layer created by Jolla in collaboration with Myriad, unless you condone stealing IP or piracy, I don't think it's a good idea.
If you want an ACL*, then you should buy a Sailfish device, that's the whole point...
There are some F/OSS attempts to create an ACL, but last I checked they'd more-or-less stalled, perhaps you could look into that.

*Android (app) Compatibility Layer

I don't care a thing about Android apps. What we need is a stable GFX/Wayland at first place. Second get GPS and NFC, Camera working and so on.

Now that is what the few people involved in MeR/Sail/Nemo has to work on as first priority.

But there is way to few people involved to get above fixed in first place so getting Dalvik working is definitivly not on the list IMHO.

Hopefully someday we can successfully port complete OS to N9

What is working:

1) What is the difference between two version?

I'm amazed you actually have the haptics there, as I have not upated that to my Nemo yet...

BTW, now I have ubiboot w/pentaboot: Harmattan, Nitdroid, Nemo, FirefoxOS and SailfishOS on my device...

Special thanks to you for your very fantastic and applicable bootloader

2) Where can I download blow files?
preinit_firefox
zImage_adb_usb
zImage-2.6.32.54-juice_backport (What are its properties?)
Image-2.6.32.54-fbconsole (What are its properties?)
vmlinuz-3.5.3-juice (What are its properties?)

3) I downloaded FFOS image from roxana... where must I extract it (which is used command in MeeGo Terminal)?

4) These commans are like linux PC terminal commands in Ubiboot wiki:

Is there a simple description like the description in Ubiboot wiki, specially applicable for Win users?

5) Does Sailfish (os6) needs to G_OS3_INIT_CMDLINE_APPENDS="vram=6m omapfb.vram=0:6M" ?

6) What is the result of blow way and its difference with extracting http://araya.su/sailfish/sailfish_n9_0.0.2.tar.bz2?

Check Nemo installation guide Here.
You also need a working copy of Sailfish SDK running.
After having a Mer SDK virtual machine instance running, do this to gain ssh access to the virtual machine:

ssh -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk mersdk@localhost -p 2222
In this ssh shell, run:

sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper mr -k -all

Then:

sb2 -t SailfishOS-armv7hl -m sdk-install -R zypper in lipstick-jolla-home-qt5

This generates rpm packages to /parentroot/srv/mer/targets/SailfishOS-armv7hl/var/cache/zypp/packages/jolla/ subdirectories, copy them all over to a separate directory on the host machine as one flat directory, like this:

mkdir ~/sailfishrpms
cd /parentroot/srv/mer/targets/SailfishOS-armv7hl/var/cache/zypp/packages/jolla/
cp ./*/*/*.rpm ~/sailfishrpms/

Copy these over to Nemo Mobile running in N9, using eg. scp. Usually one wants to copy over entire directory like the above sailfishrpms.

Then in the device, over ssh, execute:

cd sailfishrpms
zypper install –force *

This will install all of the generated rpms to the device, although with warnings, afterwards reboot to gain access of the Sailfish, SDK version, homescreen.
-
CAUTION: Might break your stuff, back up your nemo installation beforehand if you want to be cautious. You have been warned!

7) Where can I find detail description and learning of above way, specially working with SDKs?

8) I read the "Wayland on N950 / N9" Topic and linkes page of github, but I couldn't find how to add Wayland to Nemo, may I want you to describe it easy in detailed?

9) This link is the last version of Nemo with Wayland?

with regards
best wishes

Nowhere, those are my test images

Wherever you want to, for example /home/firefox_os/ is okay.
Just remember to set the chroot directory in /sbin/preinit_firefox to where you extracted the files...

I'll update the wiki one of these days. (already fixed some things yesterday in it...)

Yes.
(actually it is G_OS6_INIT_CMDLINE_APPENDS="vram=6m omapfb.vram=0:6M")

If you download one of the latest Nemo images there's wayland integration already. (but lots of things are still WIP and missing...)

Yes.
