Is it possible to port Jolla on a Nokia n8 device? My friend owns a one and he wants to know if is it possible.
Cheers

Nope, not possible since Symbian bootloader is closed, and also for HW adaptation reasons.
R: [Q][Nokia N8] Jolla Sailfish
OK thanks very much I hope I will receive some news!

Coming from an N8, your only hope is to buy a Jolla device. But if you have some other devices that can be hacked easily (N900, N9, some Android phones), it might be possible to get Sailfish running on it. But it is not sure at all.
If you or your friend is actually coming from a Nokia N8, and is planning to upgrade (you haven't stated your friend will upgrade, but since other people in this thread have assumed so, I am suggested a better decision), just get an iPhone or an Android device; that's guaranteed updates and customisations. If you want to stick to Nokia, get the N9-00 (Nokia N9, NOT N900, I repeat NOT the N900; naming may cause confusion, the hyphen is the only difference officially).
If your friend does get an iPhone, he probably won't enjoy it as much. I hated my iPhone 4s at first, but until the jailbreak was released for iOS 6, I have been loving it ever since with the tweaks and customisations your can install. If there was no jailbreak, iPhone is worthless in my opinion.
I'll be honest with you, I loved Nokia's Symbian^3 devices - the hardware and built quality was mental. If it had Android on it (although not possible), I'd purchase one just for the sake of it.
Nope as of now...
And seems like not possible in future also..

seriously can't? please does anybody found a way to do it?
LG G4 has been out for the same amount of time the Galaxy s6, yet the S6 has endless amounts of custom ROMs and all kind of tweaks, while our ROM forum sections are virtually empty. May someone colaborate on what the problem is? Because thats the only thing keeping me from buying this phone. Thank you.

Main problem is locked booloader.

Not on the H815 variant... well, at least you can quite easily unlock it.

I think people prefer to unlock it with an unofficial method (without losing warranty?) like happened for root

Sure, not losing warranty is a big advantage over the official method; but on the other hand Knox and the sure loss of warranty didn't stop the S6 development (or any other Samsung's)...

take it the wrong way... The stock Rom is very good. All we need is root to have full control of it.

Problem is still, that only 2 variants can be unlocked or are unlocked per default: H815 EU Open Market version and the TMo G4 in the US (I don't know if EU and RoW TMo G4s are unlocked by default.), so you have only a very limited (1-2%) userbase with unlocked bootloaders around. And only a few of them are here.

Right, but IMHO, samsung community is much bigger than lg ones. But hey, the g4 is my first lg (coming from a s3) im pretty sure you know much more than me (about lg devs etc..)

...and it doesn't look very promising for all the other G4 variants! Autobot n friends haven't had any progress from what I've been reading.
I love the 5.5" inch size factor and have my eyes on the S6 Plus which will probably have a 1.6 gazillions dev's swarming to it! To bad the Nexus 2015 is only going to be 5.2" which is the same size as my 3 year old G2.

I only had Samsung and LG devices since I bought my first Android phone. From what I can read here and there HTC and Samsung have the best third party development support, and coming from a Note 4 I can confirm about Samsung.
Last year I followed the G3 development, Bump and CyanogenMod.
The G3 needed an alternative to the stock ROM, mostly because it had several LAG problems, and we had it after months.
I only had this phone three days now, but from what I can see we don't exactly NEED an alternative, as we have the latest main release of Android and runs great, little LAG and we need just a few little fixes... Having root let us customize as much as possible without losing, for example, manual camera mode.
All the new sammies don't have an sdcard slot which is a huge NO for me. As for the G4 devs, don't forget we are in August meaning 90% of the xda devs are on vacations, the G4 would have new breakthrough in root and roms in September.
It's too bad to see the G4 so good in many things but hurt by LG because of locked bootloader.
I hate HTC to not make a 5.5 or 5.7" flagship

Have faith there are several devs actively working on getting CM running, once that happens I suspect the flood gates will open. But the Samsung dev community is much bigger than that of LGs, been watching it for years and LG never seems to have the same volume as Samsung. Though most of the ROMs around for Samsung devices are just kit hen builds, only very few actual custom built ones.
Do not try to absolve me by some quirk of quantum mechanics.
I would love to try CM or AOSP on here. But without an unlocked bootloader, would it be possible to flash?

Samsung will never have cm based roms. Dev community is way smaller than it used to be during s3 days. I think g3 last year had more devs working.

If they can boot with the stock kernel/ramdisk (boot.img), we should be able to flash a modified version (that doesn't touch the boot.img on the device) via flashfire.

Well the Release Date of the Galaxy S6 was the 1st of March while the LG G4 was released on the 29th of April and really available was the LG G4 in June...
...having said that - No, the LG G4 is by no means out as long as the Galaxy S6 is.
And the bootloader seems to be harder to unlock than the S6 bootloader.
...and the G4 was released with Android 5.1 while the S6 was released with 5.0.2 where more exploits exist...
Well we have to wait a while and when a bootloader unlock will be widely available, we will see a rom development explosion.
But one without immediately loosing warranty by directly sending your IMEI to LG...

No so they can only build for the unlocked version at present. If your looking for a custom ROM and hacking get the version that can be. Always one of the Rings I look for in a new device.

all the s6 really has is tweaked touchwiz roms no aosp cm or nothing
I also unlock bootloader just to have TWRP custom recovery...
I am having great time with my LG but I am a little disappointed for not having options to install a custom Rom as there are not...
But I think it is a matter of time for the devs to create some...
This device has many possibilities and many things that need to fix

As the title says, what do you prefer? I've to buy a new device but I don't know what to choose
have you seen zen phone UI ???
before buying I was also wondering the same as its cheaper, one look at the UI and I ditched the idea. otherwise it has good specs for a mid ranger.

Yes, but I don't like it so much so i think that If I'll buy the zenfone2 I'll turn into cyanogenmod
Battery life not as good as the x play.
I hate power buttons put on the top edge of large phones. A major nusance with the current Zenfones. Also, does the Zenfone offer Bluetooth aptX like all Motos do? Because no Intel powerded device currently supports that, AFAIK.
Moto X have better camera yes? Its a huge diffrence?
I traded my play with zenfone 2, zf2 is way ahead. I would say the play is a Tercel while zf2 is a Supra

The opinions by the user are better then read two descriptions.

As a moto x play user, I can proudly say it's a great device. Every animation is smooth as it should be.
Yes on lollipop the performance wasn't smooth but after the major 6.0 update, everything is great.
Now don't expect it to be a powerhouse.?

I am using Xplay for 2 months now and I am very happy with the performance, no other trusted OEM provides this much specs at this price range. Otherwise you could go for one plus one/two/X those are nice.
If there is any asus zenfone 2 user, please tell me about battery backup and performance of the phone. (I'm thinking about buying asus-zenfone 2.3ghz with 4gb ram). I'm worrying about battery backup.

But what about camera. I read many reviews about bad camera quality (specially at low light performance).

well, every phone has its drawbacks. as someone said before me check the reviews of both the phones on gsmarena and flipkart[india] and decide for yourself. zenfone 2 headover there you'll find many users i hope.

I'm fully confused after seeing reviews of both phones.
zenfone 2 have performance (2.3ghz, 4gb) but lack of battery and moto x play with superb battery but performance is
low(only 2 gb ram[emoji43] ).
but price of both approximately same.

If you don't play heavy games or do lots of multitasking then x play is good enough, I can assure you that the performance is not low. btw, how many phones out there already running on marshmallow?

Hopefully this being out so quickly allows devs to port/make ROMs fairly quickly. I read great things about FreedomOS and wanted to try it out, but I'll likely be stock rooted for a while just so I don't have to wipe/reinstall.
Yeah once I get my new PC I'm going to learn how to build ROMs and kernels. Got a Xperia and Moto g to mess with so some practice and headaches I hope to one day be good enough to get some out for this.

This is what I'm most interested in seeing happen before I place my order.
Yes this indeed will boost some custom development support at XDA. However I have a question.Is it possible to port over the battery capacity read code to the one plus 3
this video
shows that the batteries are swappable hardware wise but we need software to actually read the proper capacity
Any dev can help with this?. It would be really helpful to OP3 owners.

I know that. Like I said that video shows if someone just swaps the battery there wouldn't be a problem for the OP3 as it shows up as a 3000mah battery.
From what else I see the power IC and motherboard are nearly identical. This is a DIY project. For people who want a Lil more oomph from their phone
Well battery consumption and capacity is set in an overlay (power_profile.xml) that is used when building android. So for custom roms, it is easy to change that value

Adoption of the 3T is going to be slower because some devs already have the OP3 and have stated they would not develop for the 3T. Some are waiting to receive their devices as well. Besides, you don't know what's being worked on behind the scenes. Be patient or you can build it for us.

Yeah lot's of people still waiting on their device plus a lot more will receive one over the Christmas period. Another note in my opinion is 7.0+ is a inch away so heavy development on current 6.0+ is sort of pointless, but great at the same time to let developer's get a "feel" for the device.
I wonder but why 3/prime, the 4 / 4x notes are supported by official lineage while 4/prime NO. So I was wrong to buy the 4 first. Do you know how to answer me?

I cannot answer you... it's wayyy strange lol
i wonder the same.
Probably bcs note 4 is more selling phone then 4 prime.. bigger community on note 4.
exactly, a market is more responsive for 5.5-inch phones so they make note 4x (basically prime + 5.5 display).
If now want to buy 5-inch phone from Xiaomi you dont have much choice, only Redmi 4x which is weaker model, no mach for Prime.
Its not that bad to use a unofficial rom such as RR v5.8.3 (it has a maintainer, razziell) you can update it aswell (manually) so its fine for me.
I would love to see a rom with OTA updates but its not that important...
Easy answer, none of the developers own or are interested in our device.
