[beta] [SFOS] SailfishOS 2.1.3.7 for cancro

[saidinesh5]

Introduction

Sailfish OS is a mobile operating system combining the Linux kernel for a particular hardware platform use, the open-source Mer core middleware, a proprietary UI contributed by Jolla, and other third-party components.

This is a port of Sailfish OS to cancro (Xiaomi Mi3/Mi4), based on CyanogenMod 12.1.

Sailfish OS rootfs: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=817906626617953262

Installation Instructions:

NOTE: This release is also available as an OTA to existing users.
1) Make sure your device has the new partition layout needed for Android M and a custom recovery. Boot to Recovery, wipe cache, dalvik-cache, system and data. ( https://jrizzoli.github.io/dotfiles/ )
2) First install cm-12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DAO1K6-cancro.zip As your base ROM, and make sure it works well.
3) Then Install sailfishos-cancro-release-2.1.3.7-beta.zip on top of it. This will replace your boot image with sailfish boot image, and installs sailfish os to /data/.stowaways/sailfishos . The installation can take a little while, so be patient.
If you are already running, CM12.1 YOG7D/already have SailfishOS installed, you can simply flash the Sailfish OS without wiping flash/partition.

Big kudos to @mixmoto and Nokius, for patiently testing this release over and over.

P.S Thank you all for your support. I really really appreciate it - and it's what motivated me to make some time in my busy days to create this release. Wish you all Happy Holidays!

Hey Dinesh,

Thanks for your work,

does this have sfdroid support?

Hey Dinesh,

Hey, Nope. SFDroid support is on my TODO list for now.

It may take a while though. I need a Multirom working with CM13.0(which is my primary ROM), so I can safely port all the needed changes for SFDroid to my CM12.1 base without losing all my data. Any help welcome here!

Cheers

Great!
Right now i don't think it's ready for daily use yet, as sometimes my device's sensors and audio stop working randomly. Not sure if it is just my device though (because of some weird hacks I've been using).

I suspect this maybe because the CM 12.1 zip i was using to boot differs from the sources I've used to compile this rom. Once that issue is fixed, i think this will be usable for daily use. Camera works, Browser works, basic apps work.. And compiling that cm 12.1 means even sfdroid will work ...

For what I know only few cm12 builds worked fine when flashed before sfos..
Maybe you need another build.. I don't know..

Could be. Most bugs i had to fix last week were because of differing versions too. That's why I'm trying to compile a cm12.1 right now.

Also right now as I'm on CM13.0, i was just using a system.img from the CM12.1.zip.. And making sailfish loop Mount that as the actual /system/ . not sure if that's causing any issues.

Right now my options are port multirom to CM13.0 (having some weird errors there) or wipe my device clean and downgrade to CM12.1 (have been trying to avoid this for months now!).

Yeah, we definetely need multirom, with 64gb mi4w I have more than 32+ free and a lot of will to try

As a temporary fix for radio, pulseaudio could be restarted, NOT as root.

 systemctl restart pulseaudio --user

 systemctl restart pulseaudio --user

I currently use this command everytime i wanted the FM radio to work. I will have to look into why this is failing by default though

$pactl set-source-port source.primary input-fm_rx

Due to legal reasons, Sailfish OS doesn't bundle the proprietary blobs(device drivers, system libraries etc..) provided by the phone vendors in it's zip.
As I have compiled Sailfish OS using sources from CM-12.1, it tries to access these proprietary files on your device via. CM-12.1 libraries. That's why you have to flash a CM-12.1 zip first, before flashing Sailfish OS. (i.e just clean flashing sailfish.zip won't work)

As of now, you don't have to flash gapps, as there is no way to use them from Sailfish OS. Once we get sfdroid running, we can run Android apps from within Sailfish OS, then you can flash gapps if you want.

Sailfish OS already comes with an su binary (accessed via. devel-su command) and full root access. So, you won't need Super SU.

You can use https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse-sailfishos app to install apps.. I will include this in the zip for the next build (Which will soon be available).
First enable installation of untrusted software in Settings, then download the latest rpm of that from your browser and install it.
