[August 3rd]SailfishOS for Galaxy Nexus (Alpha)

[beidl]

SailfishOS for Galaxy Nexus (GSM)

This is a community port of Jolla's SailfishOS for the Galaxy Nexus.
It features a gesture-based user interface with a unique design and ease-of-use in mind.
For more information about SailfishOS please head over to sailfishos.org.

This is not an Android ROM, this is a different operating system.
It only uses parts of Android for hardware enablement (drivers).

Special Thanks to vakkov, sledges, mugna91, the Mer Project, the Nemo Project and all the fine people over at #sailfishos-porters

Release Notes:
This release is based on SailfishOS 1.0.8.19 (Tahkalampi).
The Galaxy Nexus port is considered to be of alpha quality.
Though depending on your usage it might be stabile enough for daily use.

Bug reports:
Please issue bugreports at the Nemo Project Bugzilla.

Known issues:

• Due to an issue with ofono, reading from SIM does not work. You'll need to remove your PIN lock before flashing.
• Setting an ambiance (color theme & wallpaper) causes hangs. Either needs the battery to be pulled, or you can SSH into the device and run:
  
  systemctl --user restart lipstick
  
• The startup wizard is getting skipped for now, due to the issue above.
• The Jolla Store currently does not work. As an alternative you can try Warehouse for OpenRepos.
• The camera does not work.
  
• Due to redistribution issues the codec for MP3 can't shipped. To enable the codec run the following command:
  
  devel-su zypper in gst-av

Nice & interesting..

Awesome! I'd love to check this out, as I've been following the progress in the other thread! (And because I'd actually like to check sailfish out, I never experienced Maemo and Meego so this will be an entirely new experience). However the XDA download link is unbelievably slow (Topping out at like 30 KB/s maximum on a decent internet connection). Does anyone have a download link from a service such as Google Drive/Mega/AFH? I'd be extremely thankful if someone did have a mirror, and would return the favour by uploading it. (If the OP allows for mirrors).

Ubuntu 14.04 recognizes the device as a ethernet cable connection..
I've played around the USB settings and all the others are charging-only.

Alright, definitely something nobody has tested, for whatever reason. As you are using Ubuntu, a quick sshfs mount to [email protected] might do it for now.

Also, powering down the device while connected via USB to the PC, reboots it instead of shutting it down.
Can't try sshfs since i've just restored my Android backup bc Gnex is my daily driver, I'm sorry.

i couldnt select allow untrusted software to install warehouse. it does nothing when i select accept to allow it o settings.

As mentioned, the "Alpha" tag is pretty much justified. Thank you for testing.

Also, the "untrusted software" switch is pretty useless and installing 3rd party applications
is supposed to be done through the command line for now.

You need to install it through the terminal, I'm not sure what the command is to install rpms of the top of my head, so googling it would probably get you an answer.

well i got this...

after download the warehouse.rpm
goto setting > develoment > set password > save
type into terminal: devel-su -c harbour-warehouse
and type the password.. but nothing comes up

do i have to restart after save password or maybe restart after type pass word?? :silly:

EDIT:
open terminal
type cd ~/Downloads
type pkcon install-local ./downloaded-package.rpm

got "fatal error:nothing provides libsailfishapp.so.1 needed by harbour-warehouse-0.3-20.armv7h"

need the libsailfishapp.so.1.. lookfor it now..

the alpha looks smooth untill now been few hours test.. message working.. wifi.. haven't check the rest..
im still curious about how to install .rpm

I assume you'd need to elevate to root using devel-su, and then use one of the commands I've quoted below to install the warehouse rpm.

From terminal, root

Install a package
rpm –ivh packagename
upgrade a package
rpm –Uvh packagename

you can find out what the switches mean by doing a rpm --help from the command line.

I think -ivh would indicate installation and -uvh being the uninstall process

yes it's seems so..

i'll try you code now..

or maybe the -uvh are the upgrade..?? since it's upgrade on the code you are quote..

EDIT:

error: failed dependdencies:
libsailfishapp.so.1 is needed by harbour-warehouse-0.3-20.armv7h

so i perssume it the libsailfishapp.so.1 the problem..

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53171554&postcount=90

he's said that just copy it from /usr/lib/ . but how come even we don't have filemanager..

i'll try the pkcon install jolla-fileman (the native file manager from jolla) apprently the rpm are not there..

just maybe.. even we have the native file manager.. the missing libsailfishapp.so.1 still occur..

I must've misread it as uninstall then, yeah.

You could try and SSH in and run the commands, which may be easier, I'm trying to get the warehouse installed now
