[29Jan][ANNOUNCE] & [PORTING NEWS] thread for HADK releases (1.0.3 revised 29Jan)

carepack · Jul 18, 2014

Hi there,

this is a thread for the HADK. Here you will find the official release notes from jolla for the HADK and maybe general discussion about it. So have fun and lets take the porting adventure to somewhere we can't imagine!

IMPORTANT:
The Images you will build with HADK are under the EULA of Sailfish OS. Please explain to interested users that this is not production quality (you know the watermark) to prevent misunderstandings in functional behaviour!!!

HADK 1.0 EA1

Official announcement from jolla:

Von:Simonas Leleiva simonas.leleiva@jolla.com
An:Simonas Leleiva simonas.leleiva@jolla.com
Betreff:The first Sailfish OS Hardware Adaptation Development Kit (HADK) Release (EA1)
Datum:July 18, 2014 15:48
Dear early adopter of Sailfish OS for Android devices. This is important
- read this whole mail through and follow all steps exactly as written.

IMPORTANT: If you choose to publish this mail through blogs, news sites,
forums, or others, quote it as-is and in complete form ONLY, or people's
devices may be at risk.

We are extremely happy to release the EA1 version of the Sailfish OS
Hardware Adaptation Development Kit (HADK), which describes how to port
Sailfish OS to existing devices based on CyanogenMod 10.1.
CM version 11.0 and AOSP versions will be supported eventually (and you
can help to make this happen faster!)

Note that Sailfish OS images yielding from this documentation are likely
to be under Sailfish OS EULA.

We are excited to welcome you all to this adventurous porting journey.
We want to build a community around Sailfish OS 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 or
the like (and we're happy if you do!), you emphasise that this is an
work-in-progress effort and not a productised release. It is important
for Jolla that 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

Read through other notes in previous Nexus 4 EA image release emails, as
they are all relevant (cached:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=53611676&postcount=433 )

HADK manual can be downloaded from (yes, you finally reached the
essential part of this announcement ) :
http://releases.sailfishos.org/sfa-ea/2014-07-18_SailfishOSHardwareAdaptationDevelopmentKit.pdf

We will all meet in the support channel called #sailfishos-porters 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 such as
http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general about Nexus 4 and
Sailfish OS as well as for more general Sailfish OS topics at
http://xdaforums.com/jolla-sailfish/general

Release Notes/Known Issues in HADK v1.0.1-EA1:
- Resulting HADK image for any device will not have Jolla Store support
(whereas as official Nexus 4 >=EA3 images by Jolla have). We are working
on Jolla Store integration into HADK (aiming for Nexus 4 as very first)
Will be fixed in the next release of HADK:
- HADK PDF has line-wrapping issues in pages 16, 19.
- PDF readers which can copy out-of-bound text: okular, Firefox PDF
viewer. Readers which cannot: evince, epdfview, mupdf
- PDF contains no table of contents
- Page 9: single quotes should be used to avoid early variable
evaluation for '[insert value of your choosing]' and
'$MER_ROOT/android/droid'

This is really great, I've been waiting a long time for it to be available, documentation prior to that on libhybris and other components were pretty scarce before.

I'm really happy that Jolla is really contributing back to the community.

for me the same. In my opinion the only modern mobile os (blackberry has done a great job too). Next phone will be a jolla. Contributing back and also it's great community

If I will have let's say an almost working port of sailfish on a phone generally, will I be able to have a working port of nemo mobile as well?? ;D

Sailfish in many ways is a layer on top of Nemo, so yes

Great good news!!!!!

I wonder, would anyone (ever) work on enabling Barometer on Mako??? I mean, even Android snubs that sensor. I'm one of the very few I can find on any forum who cares about Barometer as I'm a bit of a weather geek.

Reading on later in the logs it looks like they are going to take the camera work from Ubuntu phone and use it. But then later after that it is mentioned that someone named netchip is doing it directly using hal. Getting confused about who is doing what with which phone model.

Anyways just posted by Nokius https://twitter.com/Nokius/status/493465722446970880

Camera implementation strategy is not yet set in stone, so confusion is normal, please bear with us

Could anyone help with finding a barometer on board? I believe it would be just some linuxy manifestation of a sensor under sysfs, probably could be abstracted by libhybris like other sensors?

Thanks!

I've been keeping up with the sailfishos-porters logs and the porting effort is growing fast. New guys and more devices joining.
Take a look again at https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris
There are more devices there and they will be making it a little bit more informational in the future.
