Sailfish for Android devices release!

Hello guys,
I just got an awesome e-mail from Jolla. I think they don't mind posting it here for everyone interested to see, it even mentioned this forum. If anyone feels I'm sharing confidential stuff, please PM me
Here it is:
Dear early adopter of SailfishOS for Android devices.
We're kicking off today by publishing the first Early Adopter Release of SailfishOS (1.0.4.20) for Nexus 4 (mako) to early adopters. Please make sure to read this whole e-mail through.
Later we'll be publishing images for Samsung Galaxy S III LTE (i9305) and we'll be delivering updated images as we go along for each device as hardware support improves. This is just the beginning.
We are also working on the SailfishOS hardware adaptation development kit, which describes how to port SailfishOS to existing CyanogenMod 10.1 devices. Later versions of CM will be supported eventually. We'll publish the HADK in the next few weeks if everything goes well.
This installation image is for early adopters only, meaning we know that some things are not functional or perhaps even broken -- please see release notes below. We think it's worth sharing already now to get all of you properly included in the early stages of the project.
We want to build a community around SailfishOS for Android devices that is based on mutual trust and respect for what we are all doing. Hence -- we ask that whenever you do screenshots, videos, forum or blog posts (and we're happy if you do!) or the like, you emphasise that this is an under-development snapshot and not a final product release.
It is important for Jolla that the correct expectations are set for those who might be users of the final product -- and that they understand what they see is not a released product.
WARNING: Modifying or replacing your device’s software may void your device’s warranty, lead to data loss, hearing loss, hair loss, financial loss, privacy loss, security breaches, or other damage, and therefore must be done entirely at your own risk. No one affiliated with this project is responsible for your actions but yourself. Good luck.
NOTE: You will lose your on-device data, so make a proper backup.

Release notes and Known issues for Early Adopter Release 1 for mako/Nexus 4:
* We have a subtle watermark underneath the UI at all times stating "SailfishOS development software" "This is not production quality". Developer mode is activated at all times.
* Modem and related functionality works, 3G data, SMS but no call audio (comes in next release). There has been no throughout testing of telephony related functionality (roaming, airplane mode, data counters, etc) and any use of this functionality is at your own risk.
* Sensors, Device clock/alarms, Reset device, Bluetooth, USB control + MTP, Bluetooth, WLAN hotspot, Camera (photography, video recording), and video playback is not supported in this release.
* Jolla account / Store is removed from the image due to problems with registering with Jolla infrastructure.
* The image SW is not currently upgradeable, nor is any typically licensed multimedia codecs (MP3, etc), HERE maps, Android application compatibility layer, or word prediction for virtual keyboard preinstalled.
* After returning from suspend, UI may be slow for a moment. It is not possible to double-tap to wake up the device. Power button may fail to wake device at times, check if you are covering the proximity sensor. Powering off device puts it into a state of deep slumber; possible to get out of by holding power button and volume down key with a bit of persistence.
* Fingerterm applications may fail to launch during first attempts.
* FPS drop while scrolling in homescreen due to non-batching when rendering of application icon grid
* Icons/graphics appear unproportionally small in browser toolbar, time select widget, and Settings favourite icons
* Multiboot / multirom is not supported currently
We will all meet in #sailfishos on irc.freenode.net and please use us (thp, alterego, Stskeeps, lbt, sledges) to work together, report any bugs, graphical glitches or missing functionality that you find, which are not included in the release notes above. You can also find the hardware adaptation source code at http://github.com/mer-hybris .
You are also welcome to participate in threads at http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general about Nexus 4 and SailfishOS as well as for more general SailfishOS topics at http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general

Can't we just flash CM 10.1 instead of flashing the 4.2.2 factory images?

no you should't, because the images also contain radios and those are needed that sailfish works properly on the nexus 4

Check the settings , its quite tricky

And where there?
If I enable mobile data in the settings I just geht an error popin on the top. "problems with data connection" vor something similar.

I had no problem with 4.2 radio with T-Mobile in the US. No settings changed.

Thats a great news, lets hope thay make it available for the S4 soon.

I finally had some time to look into the problem.
Sailfish had the wrong APN
Edit:
After two hours playing with Sailfish, I can say that the Sailfish feels nice and it seems quite stable.
No comparison to the very buggy Ubuntu.
Once camera and bluetooth works, and we get a chance to at least buy AlienDalvik on their app store, this could become my main OS.

are there mako drivers or config files in the sailfish zip ?
can this sailfish zip be installed on nexus 7 grouper?
or does it has to be build specific for grouper?

I think you can try it safely, it shouldn't brick anything as it's loaded from the kernel. but I think it will not work. They mention some help in porting soon and I'm waiting for that.

Just flashed cm10.1.3 and SailfishOS from another custom rom 4.4.2...Everythink should work, works. No problem with SMS, GSM data and OS is very smoothly... Perhaps WLAN?
EDIT: After some tests, radio from factory image 4.2.2 is necessary for WLAN and sound

are the updates for this rom going to be nightly or weekly??
and can anyone please pm me when theres an update??
thanks

Are there any update about other nexus device like galaxy nexus? That phone isn't too old for an official support (I think), and there are lots of people like me who want to try that OS on that device

Same, I would try and force the nexus 4 version to work on the n5, as that is basically how the HADK is going to work, but haven't got time for it yet, I also intend to make an app that copies over SMS and WhatsApp messages between sailfish and android roms, but 1. Don't know if its possible, and 2. No time, due to exam revision.

[09-06]SailfishOS & Multirom. How to set up guide

Hi sailors out there
When I'm going to read through the available sailfish threads the question about how to set up multirom & sailfish have been asked many times. So I thought I'm writing this little guide. I describe the procedure along the nexus 4 mako. But it have to be very similar on other devices like nexus 5 for example. The important parts that differs from mako are the kernel and modem image you've to use. I will describe the easiest way in my opinion. Experienced users have more capabilities to reach the goal. I will not describe how to install twrp recovery and unlock bootloader. Both are prequesites. Please use xda search or google to get this. But this little guide want's to be simple as possible. So let's begin .
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Beginning:
First we have to detect you're actual setup and where you want to go. Because nexus 4 is up to date I think the most common goal is to run android 4.4 as primary and sailfish os as secondary. Atm I have only paranoidandroid 4.4 on my device and will show you how to get everything working.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Requirements / Download following parts:
kernel aosp: http://d-h.st/A99
kernel cm: http://d-h.st/CCn
aosp = android open source rom. Ask in you're rom thread what version you're on with the rom
cm = cyanogen mod rom. Ask in you're rom thread what version you're on with the rom
Modem for nexus4 in version 0.84: http://d-h.st/cIJ
or
through an app in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bpear.makomodem&hl=de
sailfishOS ea4: http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/sailfishos-mako-release-1.0.8.19-EA4.zip
cm 10.1.3: http://get.cm/get/aWH
Multirom manager in play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr&hl=de
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we're going on check up the following
1. All zip's you've downloaded have to be transferred on the device
2. Apps from play store are installed
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation process
Reboot in twrp recovery
Flash the new kernel
Flash the modem 0.84 in twrp. Or via the modem flasher from playstore. It's you're decision.
Boot back into android
Proof the functionality in android withe the new modem and kernel. Wlan working? Bluetooth? NFC?
Open mutlirom manager. Follow the installation steps.
After some time you'll be back in android. You have now the right modem, kernel and and a twrp multirom version on you're device
After this. Please reboot back into twrp recovery
There select the advanced button.
Then the multirom button
Select add rom and mark up the entry sailfish os
Press next.
Now you can choose two zip files to flash
zip1: Select the cm10.1.3 zip file
zip2: Select the sailfish EA4 zip file
Installation process is beginning.
After this select reboot
You automatically went into multirom where you can cancel the automatic boot process for the primary rom. Then you can select which rom you want to start.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the most important thing is to read: http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general/qa-sailfish-n4-thread-devices-t2727330 for further question before you ask. I have described there many things to start with sailfish. If you find this useful think about to press the thanks button.

I'm a bit confused why do you insist on updating the modem? I checked my modem version and it is newer so I imagine there is no need to update. Also why use such an old version ov CM?
Just asking because I did all according to your instructions except I used newer CM build and didn't update my modem firmware as it was already newer. But for some reason Sailfish wont boot. It just hangs showing Google at start.

Also I stated in first post why I only described the way I've did

Ahh ok nevermind got it working once I used the older CM image. Wifi seems not to be working but I guess that is because I didn't downgrade my modem firmware. I guess I'll wait for a more stable builde or better yet buy a Jolla phone. Just like having the nexus 4 as I can test bunch of operating systems on it.

Ok thanks for the hint. I used to be one of the early adopters of Jolla, but couldn't use it as my daily phone so I sold it, but now that the OS has matured I think I maybe swithing back. Even though I still think Nokia N9 had far better UI experience. If only some would port N9 UI to Sailfish

They've practically done nothing since pre-release to improve and refine the UI, and so many incredibly basic features are missing (voicemail notifications, global copy and paste etc). The pulley menus are ropey and the active covers feature hasn't really been made use of much. They seem to be mainly concentrating on the Jolla Launcher for Android, which will definitely make them higher profile ... but if all their software engineers and UX guys are working on that instead of Sailfish itself, then it seems like cutting off their nose to spite their face.
I'm not a fan of Android and I can't see myself ever using WP or iOS, but the lack of progress and their production priorities are a bit dispiriting. I'm hoping that they're holding a lot of big and waited for improvements for update 1.1 (October).
Anyway, I'll keep it as my main phone for a bit longer, despite the fact that I have a Z3C coming early next week. Hope to see a decent Sailfish port for it soon.

Don't think I'll regret getting the Z3C, from a hardware perspective ... held one the other day, as a friend had been gifted one by Sony. It's absolutely superb. Granted, I despise Android .. but for when the Jolla ****s itself / runs out of battery / when GPS or a camera is needed / roaming / skype /outdoor use, I can suffer it until there's a Sailfish port.
Hopefully as work is already under way for the One Plus One, the identical SoC used in the Z3 & Z3C won't be too much additional work.
For all the moaning and groaning about Mediatek, I'm guessing the simplest and best port of Sailfish will probably be for the Meizu MX4, as there'll be an Ubuntu ROM for it, and libhybris is used by Ubuntu Phone ...
Also, hopefully future iterations of the HADK will smooth out some of the problems porters are facing.

it's the same for me...
The SoC in your z3c and 1+1 is actually the same as in z1c, I guess – 8974 vs 8974ac – only higher clocked.
You should not suppose that mediatek SoCs will be easier in general just because of is one working device. Jolla runs a Snapdragon and it works perfectly, most of the devices sailfish is currently ported to run snapdragons – with very different results.

I wasn't saying Mediatek in general will be easier (though it's possible), but any device with an official Ubuntu ROM certainly will (should) be - Meizu MX4 (Mediatek) is the first of those.
P.S. The Z3C is fantastic ... though unfortunately in black as opposed to the red I ordered (it's being swapped tomorrow).

Thank you very much for these instructions. i have one question though. In order to download CM 10.1.3, it says to click that link which takes you to download CM installer app. Ive used that app before and as far as I kmow, it doesnt let you choose which version of CM you want to install, instead it just sets you up to install the newest CM 11. I downloaded 10.1.3 from their site. Either way, no big deal.
Also, which kernel do I download to install? Aosp or CM?
Thank you

Still up to date
Hi,
are these steps still up to date or should we follow a different set up guide to install the latest sailfish OS on the Nexus 4? Because most, if not all, the links on the first page end up 404...

Bluetooth sync from Jolla to Nexus 4
Flashed my Nexus 4 with the factory 4.2.2 from google with radio .48 and then flashed cm-10.1-20131003-SNAPSHOT-TREATFORCOOPER-mako-signed.zip because that seemed to be the 10.1.3 mentioned in the guides to end up flashing the latest sfos from this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-sailfish-os-community-port-t2969823.
I didn't try calling, it has 3G network working and wifi is working but I can't seem to get the contacts from my Jolla phone using the Bluetooth sync from the settings.
Anybody has some advice on this?

Just had a good look at the wiki of devices on the mer website and found out the bluetooth is not yet working on the Nexus 4...

Works perfectly on my oneplus one

Sailfish OS for Yureka

i just want to know that is it possible to flash sailfish os in yureka. I'm currently on blisspop rom. rooted and everything. please help or provide any link.
thank you

I think there is no intrusted in sailfish OS which is awesome rom...if possible any 1pls port it....

Guys, its not easy to port sailfish os to yu phones. Because it is not based on android os. it has a different base. And to be able to boot into sailfish os our phone needs to support multirom (which is not available yet). It can onle be installed as secondary rom in our devices.

Android Beta Program on Project Fi

Has anyone tried the Android Beta program that is currently using the Fi network? If so, is the device you are using your daily device and is it stable enough for an only device user?

If you're concerned with network issues, I haven't experienced any (Just standard "N" bugs)
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

All good here. Been on N since release and have had no issues with service. Just your normal little things that come with a beta OS. The newest N build is very stable and is running as my daily.

Anyone running the latest beta (4)? How is it working with Fi, and what kind of mods have you done? (rooted, etc.)

I'm running the latest beta (4) and Project Fi is work pretty good. I'm also in an different country visiting. Rooted, Elite Kernel, CTTMOD, Adaway Host fix, Custom font, and viperforandroid.

I flashed the 4th beta yesterday and it's basically a finished product - only the occasional animation jank here and there. Absolutely no problems with Fi so far - again, seems like a finished product.
Only problem is I didn't wipe my phone, I just updated as though I was flashing a monthly security patch. As a result I'm still encrypted, which apparently means twrp doesn't work, so I'm not rooted, which I'm not too pleased about. If anyone has a solution to that I'll be very grateful, since I'm about to go back to marshmallow.

I wanted to install kali nethunter, but I don't think it's supporting my device anymore as the version has been updated.
I tried to download version 1.1, but I couldn't find a possible site.
Does anyone have a solution or 1.1 version?

Just yesterday I installed it on a Galaxy Note 10. The list of compatible Galaxy devices ends with Galaxy Tab S4 (Oreo). I'm running Android 11 on a rooted Note 10, lol. What I did was flash the "Generic ARM64". It flashed fine but not a whole lot actually works though. The kali-terminal is probably the best thing about it. You have a Nexus 4, it looks like Nexus 5 and above are on the list. I'm not saying you should, I'm just letting you know that the Generic one worked for me.

Nexus 4 has ARMv7 so Generic might not work.
@131101 It can also brick your phone, just be careful.

Doesn't ARMv7 support ARMhf?

Let's us know what you decide to do. I should have mentioned to be careful of the ARM version and that it's the same as the version you install, if you install any at all.
Oh yeah, I forgot to meantion that you can and probably should extract the zip file and find the .apk's and install them rather than flashing the zip. I have a rooted S8 with a locked bootloader and I can't tell the difference from the phone I flashed the zip on and the one I manually installed the apk. Most things don't work equally on both, lol.
