Project Sakura is a custom ROM based on Lineage OS, It tries to remain true to it while also providing some more functionality and UI changes. Its sole purpose is to provide a platform which is powered by Lineage and is more customisable than Lineage.
This is an unofficial port of Project Sakura for PCs running x86 CPUs by using patches provided by Android-Generic project.
Made with Android-Generic v2.0 - Android for PCs & GSI devices
More detail : https://android-generic.github.io/
Code:
* Your warranty is now..... I don't know this is PCs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
* It's very important to read the instructions and understand what you are doing. So please, READ !
* I am not responsible if you accidentally wiped your data on your hard drives or making your main OS like Windows unable to boot.
* You do it at your own risk and take the responsibility upon yourself and you are not to blame us or XDA and its respected developers.
"This is a user friendly thread, all your suggestions are important to us and will be taken into consideration."
Currently the best method I recommend to use is to dual-boot with a Linux distro, using its Grub2 bootloader to load the OS.You can check out BlissOS wiki or SupremeGamers wiki for the instruction.

Android-x86 is just a highly modified Linux. As a result, it has lot of similarities with Linux.

​This is a x86_64 build so please make sure your CPU support 64bit and SSE4.2
About bugs : Unlike Custom ROMs on phones where people can just put "You tell me", PC builds do have problem..... a lot.
- Not all the hardware will work perfectly or even supported (*cough Nvidia GPUs ).
- Screen Recording is not working yet (gbm_gralloc limitation)
- FaceUnlock is not working (and don't even hope it work)
- Bluetooth might not working yet.
- SwiftShader is broken so you can't boot with Software Rendering.
- For user using AMD GPUs (or APUs), there's graphic bugs when you have to choose default apps like for default launcher or default browser. Here's an explanation by Mauro Rossi - one of the member of Android-x86 Project :
A long standing issue is "the tiling artifacts" happening with gbm_gralloc at ResoverActivity window when SW write buffer used, one example is the launcher selector at first boot and another is visible with Chicken Invaders advertisements windows on SW write buffer
Intel i915 and i965 were not affected, while r300, r600, radeonsi and nouveau are all affected,
iris and crocus expected to not be affected, but I need to check.

So if you are seeing this (or worse) then it's the one I'm talking about.
(Iris and crocus actually not affected btw)
Update : Iris got reported to be affected, and there are some cases of crocus too. So I will mark this as a bug for both AMDGPUs and Intel iGPUs in general. If you want to read more about the bug, you can read this post by Mauro for more info

For anyone looking how to fix "serial console enabled, performance will be impacted" warning in notifications, here is how i fixed it.
Open termux, type following commands.
Bash:
su
nano /default.prop
Then edit ro.debuggable=1 to ro.debuggable=0 and press ctrl + x, save and exit.
alternatively,
Bash:
su -c 'sed -i "s|ro.debuggable=.*|ro.debuggable=0|g" /default.prop'

I installed it in my realme c2 and its working very fine.

New builds have been uploaded, here are the new changes :
- Upstream to September Security patch
- Update Mesa to 21.2.2
- Fixed broken Bluetooth (require restarting bluetooth app)
- Adding thermal-daemon from Project Celadon
- Adding Thermal HAL from Project Celadon
- Pull houdini and Widevine from ChromeOS 92 recovery file for hatch
- Now comes with both GMS and FOSS build
For bluetooth, just restart `com.android.bluetooth` by using `pm disable` then `pm enable` and then it will work if your card already recognized by Android-x86 before. I tested with a fake CSR card and it's running as expected.
By the way, I applied for ProjectSakura maintainer, both for PCs and Oneplus Nord So expect a new OFFICIAL build soon.

NOPE! even with root is a read only filesys.
And the SED command returns formatting error as well.
Pleas share proper in depth steps if you might. thanks

That means you need to remount /system as read/write. Install gearlock to do it automatically, or
extract system.img from system.sfs in the folder/ partition in which Android is installed, and in android terminal run
su
mount -o remount,rw /
For the sed error run su first and then type
sed -i "s|ro.debuggable=.*|ro.debuggable=0|g" /default.prop

Thanks, one Q though, if i installed the system as R/W then again i need to mount it as R/W?

Only in Android 11, you need to mount as r/w again, ro by default unlike previous versions of Android x86.

Hello! I use now the rom ProjectSakura-5.2-OpenGapps-pico-20210922-1750--UNOFFICIAL.iso

Is anybody can help me?

I just tested from the latest beta build I have here (haven't release it yet) and I do have the same problem, still don't know why, maybe I will take a look at it soon
But in the meantime, please try other Browsers that are not having any GMS-relation like Bromite or Firefox. I know that without sync will have some tough time to you, but those browsers are working well so far.

We now have a Q&A thread HERE please use this for questions about the project. This thread is for development only!
This project started off in this forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1390351
However since then the project has grown and just keeps growning! Featuring a ever growing range of distros
The TEAM!
The team consist of:
zacthespack
tuxling
WEM97 [DONATE]
Think you have something to bring to the team? then contact me and we shall talk
What is this all about?/Why put this on my device?
This projects aim is to bring a range of linux distros to your android device through a method known as 'chroot', see it has running a linux distro within a virtual machine on your phone (Although its not! its using native ARM ports and the Android kernel) . You can access this virtual machine and run it on your phone without causing any damage to your device, or having to overwrite anything. Why might you want this? well my apps are designed to make the install and set up process as easy as possible while still giving you some flexibility. Once you have the distro up and running then you can pretty much run and install any linux software you like (so long as there is a arm port or it is not architecturally dependent).
Wait this uses VNC why shouldn't I just VNC to a computer?
VNC is used to access the GUI as at the moment I have not yet implemented a native way of viewing the GUI. But the Linux distro itself is running within the phone and can be controlled via the terminal app so if your a seasoned Linux user you may never even want to use the GUI
What is Chroot?/How does this work?
"A chroot on Unix operating systems is an operation that changes the apparent root directory for the current running process and its children" - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chroot
This method of running linux distros with android has been around for some time. I have worked on my scripts to make the process more user friendly and give you far more options from the word go.
The scripts start by mounting the linux image file within the android file system and then mounts the sdcard and if you have it internal memory within the linux file system.
Chroot is then used to change the root directory to that of the mounted linux and a bash shell is then opened to allow you to control linux this is kind of like 'booting' the OS.
The likes of VNC and SSH are then set up when linux is 'booted' to allow you to connect to the GUI if you require it.
Interested?
Ok so you want to get one of the support linux distros on your device, great welcome to the team
But first you will need to find out if your device is compatible with the method before anything else, this method 'should' work with pretty much any device but some ROM's/kernels will not work as they do not have loop device support etc.
HERE is a list of working devices and ROM's/kernels but remember just because its not on the list simply means no one has told me its working, it could still work!
Free Apps/Files
App
The App can be download via google play or the open source version can be download via source forge.
Distro Images
Below are our currently supported distros, click the distro of choice to go to its image download page on our source forge site (including torrent downloads)
Kali Linux
Donation keys
The donation keys allow you to support the project and unlock the configure menu within the launcher, this allows you to set and edit your VNC/SSH settings from within the app instead of on the command line!
This are also*available*to buy on the playstore or via paypal
Or if you donate more than £1 via paypal I shall send you a custom Donate key to unlock the extra features (if you donate more than £5 you will be added to the contribution list here and on the blog)
You can donate via paypal HERE Or my bitcoin wallet is: 13XxX4R2UFSkyCRyPMDXV1fT6VqzFi9d9T
Something not working?
Please first read through the FAQ pages HERE
Then if you still have issues check out the Q&A thread HERE. If you sitll can not find your answer, post in the that thread or email us [email protected]

Love the project?
Well there are plenty of places you can show your support, of cause you can buy the paid apps, but you can also 'follow' the project on a range of social networks and also keep up to date with news on the projects blog!

I have this feeling you are about to be in high demand if all the ISC Webtop 3.0 videos are accurate. It's looks like Moto killed Ubuntu and replaced it with tablet mirroring mode.
BTW- Played with this on an Epic 4G and really like it. Could have used this last year for the Evo Desktop PC.

Runnin slow linux on android ? -> lets do Ultralight
Howdy, pardners!
I suggest ARM porting Puppy linux or some other other really light distro to gain maximum performace out of mobile device.
Also there ultra-light desktops . It seems that the best would be Ratpoison or Awesome. These are easy to incorporate into now available port of Ubuntu for android.
These should together provide fast and small display suitable linux env. for your mobile device!
see ya round!

I got Debian to work on a Huawei U8800 Ideos X5 with the Aurora 2.0.4 ROM.
Everything was running smooth and great, but then I logged out from the system to see if I could switch DEs.
From there, all I saw was the wallpaper of the desktop and nothing else.
I exited with the terminal and tried again. Now I get this message:
VNC connection failed!
failed to connect to localhost/127.0.0.1 (port 5900):
connect failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)

Is there any way I could reset the cache and try everything again?
ALSO, after the sh-ing debian.sh, this is what I get:

Hmmm looks like you broke vnc I would recommend reinstalling vnc do apt-get remove tightvncserver then apt-get install tightvncserver
then do a restart of your device and try again.
If you want to use a different desktop you need to configure it in in /root/.vnc/xstartup vnc dosnt run right if you log out of a session and thus is broke, didnt think vnc even let you log out but guess it will

well it includes faster downloads of the files from a server not just source forge, you can boot by clicking a button in yhe app so no more typing commands, you will get all future distros and updates first and the best bit is you get this amazing feeling for helping a developer keep releasing amazing stuff (if i do say so myself )

Maybe the program can not access the language pack, or language pack file is damaged.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi guys,
i've started a general Q&A thread for n4 and others. Everything related to sailfish and of course n4 can be posted here.
1. Which HW components are working?
A: take a look at the spreadsheet libhybris: https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
2. Can I run my android apps?
A: atm = no. due to licensing issues the dalvik runtime is not included in android ports. Join community efforts in this XDA thread. The jolla phone run android apps.
3. What about playing videos and music
A: new ports with gstreamer1.0 (Nexus 5) play MP3, MP4, H264 out-of-box.
Install gstreamer1.0-libav for more codecs.
For old gst0.10 ports:
MP3: install gst-fluendo-mp3-0.10.23-1.armv7hl.rpm via rpm -i fluendo
Video: Install gst streamer plugins and ultimate codec support. detailed instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53552092&postcount=424
4. I'm able to install apps?
A: On Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 yes. But expect glitches because Jolla Store is going under maintenance until Tablet comes out. Known issues:
* "Essential Apps from Jolla" is not visible. Find them one by one via Seach
* Newly added apps might not show up for SFE devices
Alternatively, try Warehouse (openrepos.net):
* Navigate via your phone's browser to https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos
* Download latest RPM
* Either run devel-su pkcon refresh in terminal, or download at least one app from Jolla Store
* Ensure Settings->System->Untrusted software is allowed
* Go to Settings->System->Transfers, click on downloaded file, and it will be installed
5. whatsapp?
A: Beware of WhatsApp temporary banning 3rd party app users. You can try WhatsUp: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60264278&postcount=137
Next Mitäkuuluu version is rumoured to be unbannable, lets all wayt
6. How to access the device?
A: Via ssh or sftp. Take a look on @Daycrawler thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general/sailfish-android-devices-release-t2696409. He released the ea mail where everything is described.
7. How to install sailfish on my device (other than n4)?
A: You will be able to install when an image is available. Check "Downloadable Image" column in https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris .
Porting Sailfish OS by yourself is possible via following the HADK: https://sailfishos.org/hadk
For Nokia N9: http://wiki.maemo.org/Sailfish#Sailfish_Images
9. What about multirom?
A: MultiROM is supported on Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and OnePlus One (possible Nexus 7 too): Follow up: http://forum.xda-developers.com/jolla-sailfish/general/09-06-sailfishos-multirom-how-to-set-t2869096
10. Why I have to flash so much to get sailfish on my device?
mmmmmhhhh. Answer question by yourself and try
E.g. for Nexus 4 please do all steps you'll find in: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/development/rom-sailfish-os-community-port-t2969823 . It's necessary to have the right baseband / modem firmware. Maybe wifi won't work if you haven't.
11. How to take a screenshot?
A: Install screenshot app by lbt, from Jolla Store.
A1: This can be done on the phone via terminal and also on a remote SSH PC client.
su-devel grabscreen /home/nemo/Pictures/Test.png
If you need a times then use the 'sleep' command. e.g. below is a timer for 5 seconds.
sleep 5 && grabscreen /home/nemo/Pictures/Test.png
The picture can be accessed in the Gallery or via Filetug.
12. How to get files from/to device, because USB Mass Storage mode and SD card are not available ?
A1: ssh + scp combo (windows[putty] & linux)
This combo is a set of linux standard tools. You can connect to the phone via secure socket shell from your pc and transfer files to your phone and vice versa.
A2: sftp + filezilla (windows & linux)
You can access the files via filezilla. You can transfer files like you're doing with an ftp server.
A3: Gnome Desktop Environment
The gnome filemanager nautilus has an build in option for accessing sftp / ssh servers or devices easily.
A4: WinSCP (windows)
To connect via these methods, enable developer mode, set a new password and take a look what ip you've get. Behind the wlan symbol. Then choose one of the above methods:
username = nemo
password = the one you entered in developer mode section
[ssh]= ssh [email protected]_ip
[filezilla] = sftp://device_ip
[nautilus] = select: Connect to server (on the left side) and enter: ssh://device_ip
13. How can I use the Backup app when there's no (working) SD Card?
A: Launch Settings->System->Backup to save all the settings you want to preserve
Perform
Code:
tar cf $HOME/backup.tar -C $HOME .vault
scp backup.tar onto your PC (other ways of how pull files, see FAQ #12 above)
Install new Sailfish OS.zip, put the tarball back onto device (say at $HOME), then perform:
HTML:
cd $HOME && tar xpf backup.tar
Go to Settings->System->Backup and restore your content from a chosen backup
14. How can I provide another radio.img only for Sailfish OS?
Put radio.img onto Sailfish OS rootfs somewhere safe.
Edit /lib/systemd/system/firmware.mount and replace "What=/dev/mmcblk0p1" with "What=/path/to/firmware.img"
Be careful with that and always do backup (i.e. comment the first What out )
15. How can I skip tutorial?
On first screen, tap on corners in sequence: top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left
16. How can I mount android's virual sdcard partition (Nexus4,5) with all my goodies?
Try:
Code:
devel-su
mkdir /android
mount /dev/mmcblk0p28 /android
# User data is then available in /android/media/0/
# You can update your fstab file by adding the following line at the end:
/dev/mmcblk0p28 /android ext4 rw,relatime,data 0 0
# And for media to be tracked:
ln -s /android/media/0 /home/nemo/android_sdcard
17. Filemanager?
Install File Browser by Kari from Jolla Store.
For root access add on https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/startasroot-file-browser (See question #4 on how to access openrepos via Warehouse app)
This thread should be a collection for sailfish on devices and I will update frequently if news or tipps & tricks are available.

Thank you for your instruction.. I just have one problem...
I get the below error message when trying to refresh the repositories. Even after doing "zypper clean -a".
"Retrieving repository 'adaptation0' metadata ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------[-]
Timeout exceeded when accessing 'http ://repo.merproject.org/ obs/sailfishos: /testing: /hw:/mako/sailfish_latest_armv7hl/repodata /repomd.xml'."
I'm running sailfish OS with Multirom.
I hope you can help me.
Kind regards,
Edit: I know what the problem is. I have to authenticate but I don't have any credentials. Is there a way how I can register for that repository? Many thanks

That repository probably don't exist for 1.1.2.16.
Try use devel-su ssu rr adaptation0 and devel-su ssu dr adaptation0.
I will try to stop the repo adaptation0 on 1.1.1.27. If I do this I will write here how to fix this repository.
Edit. adaptation0 is a repository for packages like droid-hal, what comunicate with hardware. Now you have installed these packages and Sailfish will work without this repository avaible. However I will try to fix it.
Thanks for feedback.

Edit. adaptation0 is a repository for packages like droid-hal, what comunicate with hardware. Now you have installed these packages and Sailfish will work without this repository avaible. However I will try to fix it.
Thanks for feedback.

No, Thank YOU!
I did the update as you proposed, but the UI is not the same as the sailfish 2.0 Hammerhead version. It's probably because of the missing adaptation0 repo and the fact the official images aren't out there, yet.
Thank you for looking at the problem and your time! Let me know if it works

This will not look like Sailfish 2.0, becouse this is not Sailfish 2.0. This is Sailfish 1.1.2.16, you can read more about that release on Sailfish Website. (Sorry for no links, but I can't put any into post, becouse I have less than 10 posts :c)

If you upgraded Sailfish to 1.1.2.16, you can use command "devel-su zypper install sailfish-weather".
This work for me

Hi all,
we're working on the next official community release. Great you're figured out how to update. But be aware. If a bigger patchset is applied to the kernel this method won't work. But maybe one of you can help us out with a little information if you have upgraded the way from first post. If you open the messages app and looking at the background what do you see? Are there little quarters or or little diamonds?
Thx in advance!

Definitely little quarters. However I think screenshot can say everythink and I attach one.
Thank you for your interest in this update solution.
I hope that you will be able to make stable build for Nexus 4

Bug - Untrusted software installation
I am now running on v1.1.2.16 based on the tutorial provided in the thread (thanks Niyoru) and would like to report a bug.
I went into Setting -> System -> Untrusted software
and enabled "Allow untrusted software" option in there. However, I can't install any .rpm files. When I go back into settings, the setting is disabled. Not sure if this is caused by the upgrade or is also a problem in v1.1.1.27 as well in the Nexus 4 port.
The workaround was to go into terminal, do a devel-su and typing in:
zypper in package.rpm
Hope this helps...
PS. Looking forward to this build having the "Sailfish OS Updates" working instead of a manual upgrade process. Happy sailing! :fingers-crossed:

Installing sailfish via multirom with over kitkat primary rom
Hi. ive read all the posts i can find. Any pointers
Running up to date multirom on nexus 4 v31
Kitkat primary (beanstalk)
Lollipop secondary (Tamasek)
Downgraded kitkat radio from .98 to .84 to allow me to install sailfish
Downloaded Cm 10.1.3 and sailfish 1.1.2.16 beta 4
Installed both using sailfish "add rom" multirom option
All i get is bootloop after choosing sailfish from multirom list. Get to "google" screen and then it reboots back to multirom selection , Cant get past Google
Checked md5s, tried 4 or 5 times now
reread threads etc
Am i missing anything obvious..??

Yes, I update OTA using a combination of ssu and zypper commands... I guess it also helps that my account allows me to use early release software.

I think this feature could be done but my main focus now is on getting android up and running without booting problems, still there are issues with some devices
Wait for another version soon with multiple bugfixes and UI improvements.
Thanks

Not all system requirements are met, Please check the installer log.
Dears,
Greetings for this tremendous work!
Few days ago I've bought an Windows Tablet, While I trying to install Androidx86-Installv2.exe the below message appears:
"Not all system requirements are met
Please check the installer log."
I've attached the installer log and my System Info.
Basically I want to switch from Windows to Android.
If is there any method I repeat any method or system for my Tab, please please suggest me.
I don't want to buy another tab or device.
Lots of thanks in advance and waiting for .......
With best regards,
Rana.

I'm testing this program on ASUS T100TAM, with Android x86 5.1 RC1
I hope it works
EDIT:
It works and it is very simple to use, fully working
If you can add Android directly to Windows Boot Manager that would be great
I recommend to set 8100MB of Partition for who have a little HDD for have 6GB of USER Memory
After I upload LOG

Thanks for the update bro. Working fine in iBall Slide (WQ149i) 2-in-1 Wifi Tablet. But facing minor bug in Android (Not related to the installer)
Also is there is a way/option to make the Android Read-Writable (Ignore if posted in wrong thread) for root access.
Also attached log

as a Workaround you can change "Target Drive" and the free space will be updated, no need to restart the installer.

What is Ubuntu Touch?
Ubuntu Touch is the touch-friendly mobile version of Ubuntu.
This operating system is developed and maintained by UBports: An international community of passionate volunteers.
This means Ubuntu Touch is 100% community driven and independent.
What is Halium?
Halium is the collaborative project to unify the Hardware Abstraction Layer for projects which run GNU/Linux on mobile devices with pre-installed Android.
How it is a GSI?
First of all, I should mention ubports GSI definition is different from android, but both are generic.
ubports root file system was always generic and works for most cases, but devs were porting halium system image to add device-specific (HALs and configs) support to ubports Android container.
But after project treble which introduced in android 8, all device-specific parts of android system image moved to vendor partition and we can use "Generic system images" over one vendor partition.
In halium version 9, we use this adventure and have a totally generic system image + root file system.
Requirements:
The only Requirement of booting this GSI is having Halium patched kernel.
Keep in mind having android 9 firmware installed on the device as GSI base is mandatory (GSI can be used on android 8.0 and 8.1 vendors but experimental and not supported yet)
How to install?
1. Boot TWRP and FORMAT data
2. Flash vendor image and halium-boot.img (Halium-boot.img confirmed working on DRG and PL2, B2N needs testing)
3. Flash GSI installer zip
4. Reboot
Note: if the device is stuck on the splash screen on boot, simply force reboot using the power/volume button combo meant for your device
Download:
GSI - built by @mrcyjanek (download ONLY target.zip)
Vendor images
Halium-boot
Whats suppose to work?
Bluetooth
Camera
Cellular Radio
Mobile Data
GPS
Graphics
Sensors
Sound
In-call Audio
Touch
Wifi
Vibration
Anbox
Media Playback
Known bugs?
Random (but rare) BSOD + reboots
no way to unlock using Fingerprint
Touching Fingerprint sensor can reduce media volume
oh and of course VoLTE
Camera (on B2N)

Updated #1 with a new GSI link that doesn't have the reduced storage bug

You can! Our kernel sources are unified and known to work on all 3 devices, DRG, PL2, and B2N
I've listed the bugs specific to DRG only because I own only a DRG, but in theory, you should be able to flash this on PL2 or B2N as well

Ok! Installing it soon
It works on the PL2, encountered nothing broken so far :good:. I received an SMS, downloaded some stuff, etc (but haven't tried calling yet). Once in while it does hang with a black screen while booting, but simply holding Vol. up + Power to force-restart does the trick, like mentioned in the OP. Set up whatsapp successfully on Anbox, but graphics on any anbox app are jerky and laggy at times, in a manner similar to that of the anbox installation on my Linux Mint, so this doesn't seem to be an issue pertaining to this GSI/Halium port. Still, would be nice to have an improvement

Updated kernel to fix media playback. Download from link in OP

Oh looks like really interesting. I'm downloading now. I'll test this for a few days. Question: It isn't Android totally. It's Ubuntu yes? Does it meant that other OS's can be ported as well like HarmonyOs? If that's true how it is can be ported.

It isn't Android, it isn't exactly Ubuntu Desktop either. Canonical was working on Ubuntu Touch/Ubuntu Phone until 2017, and after they dropped the project, the UBports community was born and carried it forward. I'm not sure about HarmonyOS

#1 updated with halium-boot.img (confirmed working on DRG and PL2, B2N needs testing), new flashing method added

Which flashing method is prefered? Anybody who can tell a little on how it is in use? (Does it feel snappy or any lags)

Just about to flash to my B2N. The file B2N####-vendor.img needs to be set to a partition. "Select partition to flash image". I'm guessing boot or system, but honestly I have no idea. help?
---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------
So.. I'm not exactly known for my patience.. Using method 1 I flashed the vendor image to system image, and boot image to boot partition. then changed to zip and flashed gsi. Twrp prompted me to install official twrp app, I was curious to see if it would work so I chose to do so. Then reboot turned me into a bootloop...

Immidiately after my post I made the same realization that vendor.img = vendor partition. So I did that, and it still didn't work.. But then again, I actually flashed B2N-0-354H-00WW-boot.img because I hadn't seen the halium-boot
So I went again. Now according to recipe. Then reboot system..I've been stuck on the "AndroidOne" logo for 15 minutes....after a forced reboot I see the Ubuntu Touch logo!!! thank you!
