Im waiting so hard... cannot wait anymore i love SailFish design.

Development is getting there, WLAN and Audio is working now, in time, we'll see a ROM.

I'm really exited about this os... hope that jolla releases soon the rom.

The source code has been available on github, from the following link , this has been available for some time, but I lack the knowledge, and time to build the ROM, and kernel.
The kernel is a modified CM11 kernel, and the kickstarter file from the repository should setup the rom with all the repo dependencies (including the actual sailfish os part) that it relies on to work, providing I correctly understand what a kickstarter file does.

Is it possible to port it to galaxy s4 i9500?
If yes, can some port it? or can someone teach me how to port? or is there any tutorial for porting it?

This looks Promising ...
I want that ^^ can't weit till we can get a shot at it

yeah, I hope we will get some news soon, I'd fancy a nexus 5 sailfish-rom most of course
Anyhow, it seems the nexus 5 wasn't that of a good choice imo. Sure, it has good specs for that low price, but owning a Nexus S before I thought the N5 is a good choice also towards support for new roms (like the Nexus S was: you always got new / experimental roms for it first). Now the N5 seems to have bad hardware in the way that it is hard to implement in new roms (e.g. find suitable driver) which is a shame. Well, I'm not sure if I'd buy another Nexus phone again, thankfully there are many alternatives now (the fairphone, jolla phones etc).

Umm.. Guys? The rom has been out for over a month already.

Port of Android L

Hy, will some of the developers work tomorrow on a port of Android L für nexus 4. They said tomorow will be released preview of Android L for Nexus 5 y 7.
7 has the same hardware then nexus 4 so would be the best thing to get a port.....

Hope will soon have a 1 version ports cho N4 ...

Nexus 7 does not have the same hardware. Despite it being called a Snapdragon S4 . It is actually identical to the Snapdragon 600 just clocked lower. A port from Nexus 5 will probably be easier, just swapping some proprietary binaries, and kernel. However chances maybe to great for old kernel/binaries to work with just a simple swap. But we will see. I know im going to try it when the preview is out.

7 dosent have anything like from the n4,
if you count the soc, than you are also counting nothing
Nexus 4: Qualcomm snapdragon s4 pro [email protected]
Nexus 7: Qualcomm snapdragon s4 pro rev 2.1 APQ8064AA @krait300
but even if n7 had same soc, other things would be different AND the n7 is going to get a tablet build(with things sized/layouted to a tab canvas)
but im sure we will get a port,a big part of our drivers are opensource, and we can use some of drivers from the n5(like the adreno ones).

Is it possible that Android L's kernel will be updated to 3.8??

Images are now live let the porting begin!!

Images are out!
Really excited to try Android L!
All we need is some superawesome dev to port it and steal my thanks!

hey guys waiting eagerly to anyone port Android L for Nexus 4, :fingers-crossed:

Isn't it hard to port without sourcecode of os?

Basically impossible. We wont see a working port until this fall when the source code is released.

That seems a bit pessimistic and without precedence. The source wasn't released to AOSP for Android 4.4 when a Nexus 5 port was created for 4.4. Given, 4.4 and 4.3 were much more similar than L and 4.4, so it likely won't be as quick as the previous port (which took about a day or two), but there's really nothing to suggest that a working port won't happen until the fall. I'd put some good money on it coming out during the summer at least.

Look, I have no problem admitting I am wrong when I am. My point was that its hard to do a port without source.
But it seems like I was wrong about a port being released by fall. Google posted this link public and I noticed it just after I posted to this thread:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/blobs-preview
It contains the newest binaries for the N4 for Android L. So a port should be alot easier now even without source. So even though we don't have source (Which would be too hard to port) we now have all the correct binaries. So I was wrong! Myself along with a few other people are already trying them out!
So my guess is that a very experienced dev will come along with the binaries and make it work fairly soon!

I pushed them to GitHub in a state how they would look like in a compiled ROM and without that:
https://github.com/yanniks/android_vendor/tree/androidl-compiled

For all who can't wait and don't noticed, Android L Preview is avaible as AVD and you can test it there till a port is finished

What is an AVD? Can't find that in Google.

Optimistic for a Port

Porting Android L

Dear Developers,
I saw a few days ago that the Nexus 5 got a Developer Preview of Android L.
I wonder if it's possible to port the Nexus 5 rom to the Galaxy Note 3. Since the phones are very simular in specs.
The Developer img can be find here: http://developer.android.com/preview/setup-sdk.html
If this would be possible, i would thank the dev a 1000 times.
Greetings, Paul

From what I understand is that Android L is still under heavy developing, I don't think we'll see a ROM for Android L in a couple of months. Besides, even if we would, it would be buggy as hell I believe.

That is more of an alpha build and it's mostly for developers to give them an early idea how the os runs, so they can port apps before the official release is out.
The final version will most likely be out with the nexus 6.

Note 4 / ASOP - CM ?

Hi,
What is the likeliness of the Note 4 having someone produce a CM / ASOP ROM for this device?
This isn't a request, but rather a question. Has any developer put their hand up for this yet?
Just trying to catch up on any CM / ASOP Note 4 related news i may have missed. I have done a search, but nothing of great value arises, and i am sure i am not the only one who is keen to find out....
Cheers

I haven't seen any progress on it yet. Firstly a CM developer would need to get their hands on a Note 4.
I'm hanging out for Cm12 on the Note 4, so hopefully within the next month or 2 development starts.

Me too - with the release of Android 5.0 - comes the quickened release of CM12 - if the Note 4 wants to see Android 5.0 before June next year, its only chance is through CM or some alternate ASOP variant !!!
Samsung are VERY slow at releasing updated Variants for the android OS for their phones... but luckily not the slowest...
I'll keep this post here, so that we at least have some kind of discussion growing with respects to the Note 4, and hopefully someone might pick it up. I would love to do it myself, but i have very limited knowledge of android coding if i knew how i would totally do it...

Unofficial Android 6.0 maybe coming to Nexus One

Guys, good news! It looks like Dmitry Grinberg is working on a Marshmallow port for the Nexus One! If you don't know who Dmitry Grinberg is, he is the hacker who works at Google and he ported Marshmallow to the Nexus 4 and the Nexus 7 2012. Other than these two ancient devices, he was also able to make Android M run on the Nexus S.
From his posting on his website, he is now focusing on the Nexus One!
http://dmitry.gr/index.php?r=06. Thoughts&proj=05. Android M on Nexus S

dookie23, I get the excitement over porting Android 6.0 to those "ancient devices," but that accomplishment pales in comparison to the Nexus One - the latter represents the original "smart" that was added to Android phones at the Dawn of Mankind ... (Jan 2010). Cue Also sprach Zarathustra (Strauss). . .

I have found some M and L ports for our Nexus One on google but did not have the time to try.
Has anyone tried any, if so which one?
Cheers..

Could you please share those roms, I googled and couldn't find any Marshmallow rom.

If he wants to do it he will do it , i know its possible even the htc HD2 got M working and nexus 1 and HTC HD2 have mostly the same hardware.
I OWN BOTH OF THEM

Holy wow! I came here per chance after being out of touch with android developments for so long. I cherished some hope when 4.0 came out and it was being ported. But builds were wonky and incomplete (as I remember at that time) and my hope of a stable daily driver quickly faded.
This was the last thing I expected to see here. Super exciting!

In order to be able to use these the font package and keyboard need to be updated to recognize the emoji otherwise you get a symbol in its place because it's seeing code it can't translate and you wouldn't be able to select the new emoji without the keyboard being Speed Test updated to show them as well.
