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

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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53018643&postcount=60
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.
Android L has been successfully ported in Nexus4 today and is being run almost flawlessly by several.When our GT-N 7100 will be seeing this?Can anybody tell?
Porting a developer preview is a waste of time.

What an utterly ridiculously stupid thing to say on XDA. It may be a waste of time for YOU but not for the person(s) who enjoys porting/trying/learning/testing or for proof on concept etc.
For example, testing/trying ports now on Dev preview will make the final port quicker/easier if prior porting issues are found/ironed out in advance.

I'd think AOSB might be the first, if its even possible to port it over to our Note 2.

Somebody will certainly port it at some stage, Just need to be patient.
I'm quite looking forward to Android L. Hopefully CM will release CM12 not long after it goes final. Took a while for CM11 to hit the n7100 though so not sure.

ugh i dont have any invites but i want to see it happen for sure!!!
i really want multirom and bcmon also on the oneplus one what else needs to get ported to the oneplus?
Sailfish/MultiROM for the OnePlus One
I'm familiar enough with the process of porting/building SailfishOS that I could probably get it running on the OnePlus One in less than a weekend. The hardware looks similar enough to the Nexus 5 - at least as far as the Qualcomm parts are concerned - that it should be a fairly simple port.
I've been trying to save up for a new phone for a while, but I haven't found one that I like enough to buy at unlocked-phone prices.
Call me cheap, but I felt like I overpaid for my Nexus 4 - which I probably did, because I traded a tablet for it.
I don't tend to develop low-level stuff like this for phones I don't own or at least plan to buy, but I have a long history of "porting" Linux distributions (mainly Debian and non-Unity, "desktop" Ubuntu) to Android phones by modifying the kernel to load the root filesystem from a microSD card, among other things.
Before you get too excited, remember that I may or may not be able to get everything working immediately - just look at how long camera support has been missing from Sailfish on the Nexus 4. On that note, the Sailfish camera HAL is in flux right now, but once it stabilizes, getting the cameras working should be easier.
By the time I get an invite and get around to buying a One, there's bound to be other people working on it, especially if this is as important as I think it is.
TL;DR: In a few weeks I should have money, in another few weeks I should have a device, and shortly after that there should be code.
I'm pretty confident that it should be relatively easy to get the port started, but don't expect miracle-speed progress towards getting all the hardware working.

Hey,
Now we have released N5 I'm moving onto OnePlus, its booting into the Mer bootloader and switching root into SailfishOs rootfs at the moment but no UI yet due to gralloc issues.
Stay tuned.

MULTIROM for the Oneplus is a port, the Sailfish support is a reflection of this. You'll need a working image of Sailfish .. AFAIK no-one has made one yet for the Oneplus.
Anyone know if this is being developed?
I would love to see sailfish on the oneplus one. Does anyone know if this is being currently worked on or if there a compatible version out there on the net?
Hi everyone,
I currently found an AOSP 6.0 Marshmallow port for the OnePlus One. I'm a slight new to this but im ready and willing to learn how to do all of this from source. The OnePlus One has the same chipset, cpu, and gpu so it shouldnt be impossible to get this up and running. Anyone interested in contributing to the cause pm me or post on this thread .

Well he was probably trying to kang port it. You need to build it from the source. Port the kernel from source and the same with the source for the rom itself. Its not easy but it can be done. I may give it a go myself even if no one can help or wants to.
