Looking Awesome
http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/31/new-sony-ericsson-rachael-ui-video-hits-still-looks-nothing-lik/
Seriously... this is exactly something which Android needs... It looks beautiful and it will appeal to not only the "Mobile Geek" market but the average standard market too... it purely being a Sony Ericsson will help it alot aswell.
I wonder if HTC will have any involvement in the Xperia X3 as they did with the X1 meaning that XDADevs will have a forum for it?
EDIT: For anyone who doesn't know, the "leaked" specs on this device are:
256mb RAM
512MB Rom
1ghz Snapdragon Processor
4 inch touchscreen
Micro SD Port
8mp camera
0.3mp secondary camera (video calling)
My question is why haven't we gotten a Music app like this yet? It's absolutely killing Android right now. I've tried almost all of them to no avail. We shouldn't need a whole new UI for a good music app.

You have a good point, the music app needs some serious work on, it's too plain.
yeah this would really give android an edge
Isn't this Android? That's what this says

P.S.: Well it's not just the Music UI that is interesting, look at that SEXY "timescape" thingo
The picture gallery is fanstic looking as well.

Silent Hill? Of all games you want to replay Silent Hill? That game was too damn scary for me back than and I was maybe 16 or 17.
A friend of mine recently gave me his busted xbox 360 and it came with a few games as well as Silent Hill: Homecoming. I thought I could handle it now. Nope, I was wrong. I turned out all the lights and played on my 56in with 5.1 sound system in the living room. It was too damn scary for me again. I heard every little noise in front and behind me. 10 minutes into it I took it out and was done with that evil ass game.

that's the first game i tried .
and sadly, its hardly playable.. there is a white box that appears around the characters and sometimes they just disappear in the mist..
i'll upload a screencap and a list of games i have tried..
btw.. pm me if anyone has trouble finding a good site for the roms (although google still is your best friend for that )
edit: Screencaps added.
well, now that i tried it again.. the game isn't too unplayable.. I'll try finding a ripped rom.. maybe that works better.
Can someone see if metal gear solid works?
Sent from my Nexus One
ugh guys i ran into an issue i forgot about. if youre using the on screen keyboard, the nexus one multitouch screen is the issue. i was playing RE1 and i forgot that i had to hold the R+L button to use the weapon n sadly, we cant do that on our devices
**EDIT: FF7 seems to work fine. FF8 works fine except for the video at the very beginning of the game. i will test out MG Solid later on in the day**

Hahaha, that's the point. The sound of static was never the same afterward. I love love love this series (at least, up to SH3). It's probably going to be a lot less scary on a 3.7 in screen anyway.

I would say 90% I've tried have worked so far. Some have slight graphical problems like an image stopping a few pixels from the edge of the screen since the designers didn't have to worry about our screen size.
Oh and Samurai II works and is/looks completely amazing.
Apps for different resolutions will still work, just may be stretched or distorted.
PewPew on the market works in native res.

Modern combat 2 works but does have some graphic problems where bars which are supposed to span the screen at times don't fit the screen. Also the blood which indicates your health only covers 90% of the screen. But it shouldn't affect gameplay.
hey i was wondering if can do this....there are sites and forums that give us the apk and sd card data files for a specific phone....all those phones have 480x800 resolution....and there is a software called lcd density changer which changes the resolution of the phone....it either increases or decreases the resolution....
so if i download and install these files and lower the resolution of my phone will i be able to play normally....that is i bring down the resolution to the desired one and play....

the dark knight rises
modern combat
9mm hd(its running fine but i m nt able to see the game properly,everything comes in pink and dark pink colour.have to try a diff cersion of this game)
dead space
temple run brave
and trying back stab 3d.
i hope an one cud get desrt winds ported to our phone.i guess its for snapdragon processors only
I'm going to shut this thread down, because APK sharing will inevitably lead to warez on the forums. If you find a great game, then just create a thread about the game with a link to the Play Store. Make sure to show what you like about the game.

I will report over the next 7-10 days. Too busy at the moment for an in-depth review.
I have only removed it from the box, updated the OS and now charging the battery.
Following views:
- Hardware better quality than I expected from the initial online Jolla reviews, feels solid
- Screen quality not great, perhaps will improve after a period of "burn in" but the resolution does not look good
- On-screen keyboard and one handed use also easier than I expected
- I like the UI, simple and clever in some areas
- Gestures, I am still getting used to these as I also have a Blackberry Z10 and palm Pre which also are feature based
- Speedy web browser
Battery charger was for Europe, not that helpful for us in the UK!

I also got my Jolla 2 days ago. I'm really impressed with a lot of aspects. I concur on the quality of the hardware, the UI, the gestures and the beautiful browser. I personally think the screen looks great. I know the PPI isn't huge but I honestly don't think it need be any better. Text is clear and nice to read. However, I am not getting along that well with the screen. I'm used to swype for android and clicking those little letters is taking some getting used to again.
I've got apps from the Amazon app store working nicely such as Facebook and Temple Run 2. However, I am having some issues with things like connecting to wifi. Also can't seem to get google calendars syncing whereas my contacts have worked perfectly.
wow lots of jolla owners on xda nice.
And what about Android apps, do they work?
Have you updated yet? It's in the pully menu of about phone.

Yes, they do. They appear normally in the app drawer and Jolla shows the software Android control buttons when Andr. app is running. I didn´t notice any lagging or low performance of those I tried so far. They behave just like on Android, e.g. Skype can make calls as you would normally expect, youtube client works fine. I´m just not sure whether the files stored in device can be shared between Sailfish and Android apps, e.g. I don´t see the contents of SD card with an Android music player.
I hope there will be more native Sailfish apps, Sailfish is the charming aspect of Jolla, not the Android apps.
Got mine today and love it! The UI is so nice and it runs fast and stable.

Tested many many Android apps today. You can install a launcher and use widgets. Works just fine. The speed is impressive - very fast. Tested on Riptide GP 1 and the game looks nice - no lags.
Tried to get the Google Framework (Google Services) working but without luck. The Alien Dalvik is running Android 4.1.2 and is not rooted. You don´t have "Settings.apk" so you can´t setup stuff. And it was impossible for me getting the native Android settings working.
I have made some thoughts while testing. If it is possible to get root on Alien it would be possible to flash the GApps from CM. So there would be a "full" Android.
Can any of you with Jollas respond to this thread?

3 weeks ago I offered a Jolla Phone to my wife because this is the last Finnish phone Today an Finnish lady abroad deserve it .
Moreover I have a LG G2 so i will here compare quickly both of them.
- the Jolla have more quality Built : materials used are better
- the Jolla have a worst screen, not only size !
- the Jolla as less autonomy (On day of use)
- the interfaces are totally different expect the knock-on feature.
- Sailfish OS is really a new way of using a phone, gestures are centric. as a result Sailfish OS is really minimalistic compare to android
- Sailfish OS seems note to be totally developed : to use your Jolla phone you need to be Geeky (or have a husband who is so)

have you deactivated the NFC? i do that, befor 1 day, and now 1,5-2 days with using 3G/Wlan and every hour email check + whatapp + xmpp connected.
Today I found something interesting happened to my phone it was running buttery smooth like it should be (821), and most of all the game i play everyday wasnt lagging at all, PUBG
Solution: DO NOT USE SMART CLEANING app or any other kind of it, your phone will start running smooth in next 3 4 days or maybe less.
Try this and share me your experiences.
Comment to let me know you're trying this.
Thanks. I'll give it a try and see if it makes a difference, because the amount of lag I experience while playing Cytus II is unbearably bad and makes the game nearly unplayable.
So dont use anything at all and itll work smooth? ok ill try that
Hi
Are you referring to the Smart Doctor build in app?
Did you disable or uninstall it?
It's been 3 days and I've reached a verdict. Doing as the OP said actually made games run better. By that, I mean I disabled Smart Cleaning via LG Package Disabler and deleted Google Files Go.
I'm not kidding about this helping. Cytus II is playable now at full 1440p 60fps, with very few lagspikes. Other games I've played, like Alto's Odyssey, run somewhat better as well.
Go try it out yourself, it may help a lot!

After a factory reset a couple days ago the antutu graphics benchmark got noticeably choppier, especially the "marooned" scene which was previously completely fluid. That was a disappointment since that was one of the reasons for going through that process! I've now removed Google files go and I will see if that makes a difference, I hope it does. If so, thank you in advance.
Btw I think you meant "1440p" (QHD) not "2160p", that's 4k! ?

This is serious guys, I deleted Smart Cleaning by ADB and my gaming experience increase magically, Shadowgun Legends can run quite good with Ultra high 60fps setting, it couldn't do that before. Unbelievable
PS: Tested only with latest Android 7.0
I have zero lag and i use smart doctor every other day.

Well, two weeks from when i see this thread and i stop using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app, just to say, this guy is right, using SmartDoctor / SmartCleaning app will (somehow, and i dont know how and why) make you phone laggy and in my tests if i open it like between 2 or 3 days and make a clean all UI and the app frezzes and i need to wait almost 1 minute to phone get out of the app and all be OK again.
So, my test really gives reason to this guy and i will delete the app from the phone, and i recomend all people with rooted G6 to do the same and use CCleaner instead to clean cache from apps and so on...
to the guy who discover the guilty of the lag: i cant pay you a beer, but you will be my hero forever.
Not working for me unfortunately... Still quite a bit of lag playing heavier games like csr2, Rr3 (practically unplayable), hungry shark world ?
I've had the phone since September last year and I don't think I've used it for more than 10 times. It lags anyway. Lowering the resolution does wonders, but it has some bugs that I don't like so I've switched back to lag.

If you are rooted, I highly recommend installing the new Adreno 530 driver, there is a decent improvement in games and definitely in Antutu...
does this stil work as of now?
This reads like bull****. What is "smart cleaning"? Is it supposed to be an app? The instructions are super unclear.
Smart Doctor cannot be disabled either. You can just disable it running in the background.
