[beta] [SFOS] SailfishOS 2.1.3.7 for cancro

[saidinesh5]

when do you think will have any update?.
Thanks in advance.

I am not entirely sure. The 2.1.1 update was discountinued by Jolla because of some security bugs ( https://blog.jolla.com/sailfish-os-2-1-1-now-available-jolla-devices-early-access/ ),
So now we have to wait for them to make the 2.1.2 release. I have updated the packages (and build scripts) for the 2.1.1 and they didn't bring in any major improvements.
I have also started the porting work to 3.10 kernel and am now debugging the issues to get it to boot. Let's see, if i can even push out 3.10 kernel as part of the 2.1.2 Update.

Ok, so one thing just happened: m.uber.com stopped working in the jolla browser. Now I would probably need a better browser or the Android app.
Is there any effort still invested in the Sailfish upgrade for the Mi3/Mi4? Or in the android support?

Thanks!

I join the question.

I hope the update is not abandoned @saidinesh5 [emoji22]

@all i still work on this , but now that i have a full time job - i only work on this during my weekends - when i get some time. That's why this release was delayed this long.

As for the better browser, there should be one soon in openrepos based on a more recent Qt Webkit. I also tried compiling the QtWebEngine but ran out of hard disk space while compiling the chromium bits.

As for the android app support - the 3.10 kernel we have received seemed buggy/wasn't even booting. So @ar4er started working on his own port of 3.10 kernel. Once it is ready, we can look for anbox support. You can follow his progress here: https://github.com/Ar4erR07/msm-3.10/tree/LA.BR.1.3.6_rb1.20 . Meanwhile i tried backporting ~100+ usernamespace patches to our 3.4 kernel but it was of no use. The device didn't even boot with it.

That's why i pushed out this release after just upgrading the Sailfish version to 2.1.3.7.

Cheers

Thanks Dinesh, the updatr went smooth!
and just as I've hoped, the browser did had some bug fixes. I can browse m.slashdot.com (its been a while) and m.uber.com doesnt throw errors.
The vibration is still missing on calls on my Mi4, but the IR remote works (from a previous post) thus I got this goning on for me.

 

[saidinesh5]

how to enable navbar?

There is no navbar in Sailfish OS. It is completely gesture based. Swipe from any edge of the screen to get back to the "home screen".

Android app support,??

Could you manually tinker with /usr/share/ngfd/plugins.d/50-ffmemless.ini and making all the effects there into rumble and see if it works for you? (and restart ngfd/reboot device of course)

 

[saidinesh5]

Android app support,??

None from my end as the 3.10 kernel we have is still junk.
Here is something you can try though. I know people who used this method on a Nexus 5 to get android app support there: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1532710

This was it! I feel like it's Christmas already
I set to zero two ringtone options:

NGF_RINGTONE_ATTACK = 0
NGF_RINGTONE_ALEVEL = 0

and voila!

Then I noticed SMS didn't vibrate either (were they, in the previous build?).
For that, I capped the magnitude to

NGF_SMS_MAGNITUDE = 16383

I still have to see why some notifications don't buzz (email does, menus do, slackfish doesnt),

This literally stopped me from going to a shop and pick another phone \o/.:victory:
Thanks!

(I'll update if I fix more notifications)

Great news! If you want more insight into this - here is the source code for the driver: https://github.com/CancroSailors/an...mmit/693dbaeec7a4f2a9bab46cfe5f7a599a6e41e829 and here is the commit where we enabled that driver: https://github.com/CancroSailors/droid-config-cancro/commit/2052e20cd17df4961f747cfb6c83b246e01df742

Once you are done tinkering and making sure the effects are all well (some people find the effects on Mi3 are a little weak too..), share your config file and then let's merge it back into main repos!

Good Luck!

Great work! Any updates are expected in the near future? And is there any chance to add support for android apps?
And will there be a version based on CM 13?

Hey,

I actually silently pushed out an OTA a couple of weeks ago, after i fixed the boot loop issue on Mi3. I may push out 1-2 more OTAs after fixing the lingering little issues (nothing major). Otherwise anytime Jolla makes an update available in the next 1 year, I plan to make it available to you.
Version based on CM 13 is a no go though. CM 14.1 maybe possible - especially with the Halium work someone is doing.
Android apps - will have to port Ar4er's 3.10 kernel. Let's see how that goes. No promises though.

Are there any specific issues you want to get fixed? Anything especially from this list? https://trello.com/b/rV0H5txC/sailfish-os-on-cancro

Hi, I saw some times ago, that you add repo with anbox for xiaomi mido, did you release this version for our devices when you build anbox on 3.10 kernel?

The repo with anbox is just the anbox compiled for sailfish os. I compiled it so kimmoli could test it/port it to work on his Jolla. For our device, i still haven't ported the 3.10 kernel so.. But when it is ported, you can use the anbox from that repo.
