SailFish for Z1c

Hi guys, I just saw SailFish has made it easier to port the OS to Android devices. Description http://www.jollausers.com/2014/07/sailfish-os-hardware-adaptation-dev-kit-release-1-0/
Anybody up to the challenge [emoji15]

Finally, been waiting for this. Hope the Z1C is compatible enough for daily usage.

As far as I can understand the announcement, they have made the porting work easier but still somebody has to do it [emoji6]
So hold your horses until some willing and capable enthusiast decides to put the effort (I am looking at you oshmoun and Omar [emoji15])

I might consider porting it, but there are many things in my to do list first, so will try after few days when I get free time (if no one has ported it then yet)

this would be great, having the of android and silfish os for xperia z1c.

Ah man!
Wish I had some space to spare on my laptop to do this
only 3-4 GB left :crying:

maybe the interest in sail fish os will increase when a stable version of sailfish launcher is out and people can test a little bit the "feel" of sailfish.

As the purpose of this thread in rather a discussion and not development I have moved it into General Section

That's sad, I don't have the knowledge to try it. Would be a dream to have the possibility to run sailfish on a z1c (and other devices).
What I saw and read about sailfish os seems to be very promising.

Damn would be so awesome to run sailfish on a z1c!!!

The best part of Sailfish on Z1c would be, doing away with onscreen navigation. I feel so @#$% not to have entire 4.3 inch screen at my disposal.

For Android there is a launcher, which is gesture based and does not need on-screen buttons. I am not sure about its name, but you will find it here on xda. I think it's called LMT...

There is a launcher for android from jolla (the company making sailfish os), called sailfish launcher. It's still an alpha, but the beta should be out in a few days (or maybe weeks).

Any News?
Hej Folks,
I was wondering wether there are any news considering the porting of Sailfish OS to our beloved Z1 Compact. Is there any possibility to do so at all? Or is it just because of the work going along with porting it? I'm a total noob and no idea how to port, but just asking.....

I'm also interesting in having SailfishOS on my Z1 compact. I can help test, if anyone is prepared to port it.
Cheers

Waiting for it, Omar said that maybe he could try to port, but... It seems that there is no interest
Enviado desde mi Z1 Compact

Omar is busy updating all his ROMs to Lollipop and making them run without bugs. I don't think he has time for this now

Hey,
are there any news on Sailfish OS für Z1c yet? I've read something about a new bootloader thing for xperia devices making it easier to install custom ROMs on those devices. I'd love to have a Sailfish OS-based phone, but am not willing to spend money for outdated specs at Jolla Phone and while my Z1c is still very much capable of most tasks.
Can't post links yet, but the news about the new bootloader stuff is i.e. on xperiablog . net

Question and request for sailfish for ...

Hello to all of you guys, i have a question - can the sailfish OS be installed on Xperia z1 compact ?
If doesnt yet a port for this cell , i will request for port .
Thank to all devs in advanced.

There was attempt but there is problem with GPU and AFAIK currently nobody doing it
https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/gpu

the new unified kernels Sony pushed out recently for AOSP developers should make these sort of problems less of an issue, and make ports to Z1/Z1C / Z2 / Z3 / Z3C more possible. Z3 and particularly Z3C (as the only premium compact in Western markets) are doing very well, so there may be some interest here.

Sailfish OS SII Plus (nfc)
I was really interesting in this OS, i saw a lot of videos, read a lot of things...would be great if i coul try it on my s2 plus. If someone is interest in the developement is a great thing...otherwise i'll buy a jolla phone...so far T.T

[Discussion] Porting ROMs to our Xperia Z5

Hi all,
Well what I can see is that there are no custom roms developed for the Xperia Z5 , they are very very few
by the way, I would like to give very special thanks to :
@auras76 : for his amazing "RomAur" ROM
@celderic : for the great "SlimStock" ROM ( I'm using it right now )
@AndroPlus : for the hardwork he done to make good kernels for the Z5
And for sure @zacharias.maladroit, @CTXz, @_LLJY and all the the Xperia Z5 and Sony devices developers who works in improving and optimizing our devices to get the best of them .
Back to the topic, I'm saying that because you can't get the full of your phone after rooting if you don't have many ROMs choices :crying: .
Most flagship devices of these days like the Nexus 6P and the Galaxy S6 have a very good development and you can choose between a wide variety of custom roms and mods .
I remember that every devices line had some famous roms, like the 'Android Revolution HD' for samsung's
and the 'ViperOne' for HTC's, besides AOSP ROMs like Resurrection Remix and slim rom or the popular cyanogenmod ROMS
The Z5 is my first root experience with a sony device , and it has been a bit weird and different than other devices .
I remember even for my old my old galaxy and LG handsets I had the choice to try so many ROMS and have fun with them
You think that the Z5 is stilll a new device ? Oh c'mon It was released in 2015
Maybe the Xperia Z5 is not enough popular ? Or it is maybe difficult to port ROMs for this device
I am not an expert developer so I can't say much about that
What about creating a team for development purposes ?
I think they already introduced that in the general sony devices section
[Announcement]Building a team, which WILL twist Sony Development
Or maybe you have better ideas, let us know what you think , cheers

I think the reason why there has not been much development is because the Z5 isn't easy to develop for and the AOSP kernel source and drivers (especially the camera ones) still need to be worked on by Sony, I guess we have to wait.

Exactly:
http://developer.sonymobile.com/201...-camera-available-for-experienced-developers/
The following devices are not in this release, but will be added later, so stay tuned: Xperia Z5 Compact, Xperia Z5 and Xperia Z5 Premium (MSM8994) and Xperia M2, Xperia E3, and Xperia T3 (MSM8226).

Android "N" as in "No nougat for the Z3 line"...

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2016/08...ndroid-7-0-nougat/?k=1471977631#comment-65567
I'm disappointed. I really hoped that it would get it with the Xperia Z3 N Preview program. What was the point of that ??

I am both surprised and disappointed. The Z3C is a great device, and the failure by Sony to update it to Nougat is anticlimactic, to say the least. I was planning to buy the tablet; I guess I'll have to look elsewhere now

It's actually a bit more complicated than that. I've read from a few sources that actually Google is to blame for removing msm8974 code from AOSP and so Sony has no option but to deny an official Nougat update to these devices. As for the fact that the z3 phone got some N preview builds, well, they stopped at build 3, it didn't recieve builds 4 and 5. It is assumed that it's cause it's actually in build 4 that Google removed code for our SoC. We'll see how things turn out.
EDIT: It turns out it might even be on Qualcomm as it is the chipset manufacturer to decide whether it will support and make drivers for their chipset that work with the new OS version. Although I doubt such decisions are made without consulting Google.

Interesting. I had no idea it went that deep to google and Qualcomm even.
Oh well it's a shame as as the z3 compact is a great device. The best tablet I've ever owned for sure. And I've had a few. Would have been nice to have true android multitasking windows.

That's really all I wanted for the Z3T : native multi-window.
If only they were developers working on the Z3 line... :/

I realize our device is old, but what we need is a little push in our dev scene. I remember for the Xperia Z Ultra some users got together and paid a dev to develop a kernel. Maybe something similar has been done here?
Either way, we aren't that many here which means there are even less devs. Could we manage to scrape together an amount any good dev would consider to build us a working, updated build of Nougat or Cyanogen?

But ...
developer.sonymobile.com/build-aosp-nougat-7-0
or don't work for this tablet?

I'm fairly sure that if there was more interest for the Z3 Tablet, we'd get decent Nougat custom roms in the end. But the devs are just not there. We could always make a bounty but these things don't work out so well most of the time...

AOSP N works on scorpion sgp621.
Works fine without camera (not works yet).

Built it yourselves.

there are builds from fxp-blog (https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=109243) but i didn't test them yet. i don't need the camera on my tablet.

I suppose scorpion_windy is for our devices? And will it work with the sgp 611?

sgp611 is the wifi-only model and codenamed scorpion_windy.
i've got the lte version -> scorpion.

new builds are up at https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=109243
edit: after some testings this is not ready as a daily driver because on reboot i get sometimes a bootloop and without fastboot and reflash it often won`t boot.
hopefully cm14 will come along quicker with this as base.

I didn't think there was an unlock for the 621?

AICP N
AICP 12 (Nougat) build.
Sorry no zip file for now.

what about major bugs/nonfunctional basic-hardware?

I've AICP on all my devices except the scorpion_windy so I very much look forward to trying out your first release

dudes at least we have the option to choose between 3 OS'S.I tested both KK and LP (except MM) and both run GREAT.

[Request] Ubuntu Touch for Xperia Z2 (sirius)

Hey,
I'd like to issue a request for Ubuntu Touch availability on Xperia Z2. I have a D6503 variant, and have been using it since '14.
Ubuntu Touch is already available (officially) on Xperia Z1 (which has a stark similarity to Z2 if you look it up). If anyone likes to check out the Z1 version:
{https}://wiki{dot}ubuntu{dot}com/Touch/Devices/minato
Also, for anyone who is interested in development:
{https}://developer{dot}ubuntu{dot}com/en/phone/devices/porting-new-device/
I'm a new user. And cannot post external links. Please replace { } signs to use the links. Sorry for that.
Thanks in advance.

I dont think this is possible for our phone, because this is very high level development and need many time.

The Z2 is an old device. You've had yours approximately 3 years.
Most people have moved on to newer devices so I doubt very much you'll have any luck with a Dev taking this on.

Also ubuntu touch is dead

If it wasn't dead, it would also be hella difficult to develop, we're basically stuck with bugged cm11 and 12.1 and no kernel for 13, so it's no good. See SailfishOS port.
