Current build does not work! - That's okay, my shiny (used) nexus 5 arrives soon, and I can get dmesg and stuff and see what is wrong. Pretty sure it is the kernel config, which sucks but hopefully logcat and dmesg will make this fix easy.

If you are really thirsty for a 3.0 build try this out: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=99377
It wasn't built by me, and I will keep trying to get a hybris12.1 version to work for aliendalvik and videorecording reasons, but that one is entirely stable besides the video stuff.

It's hot, it's fresh, it's entirely untested because my Nexus 5 broke and a new one won't be in the mail until the end of this week, but I figured, why not upload it and share?

I just want to know if it boots at all. It's Sailfish OS 3.0.0.8, based off of Hybris-12.1, and is just a standard vanilla image. That means no Gstreamer (camera will be a potato, assuming it even works), no audoflinger, minimal patching (if it boots up it'll be VERY buggy), and since it's using 2.0 sources with minimal changes, I'd be surprised if it boots at all without some configs changed.

But, never the less, what's the worst this can do? Waste 10 minutes of your time? Sailfish OS only exists on /data so it won't brick your device. I mean, it might but that'd be so rare it's funny.

How to flash:
Sailfish OS requires an android base for the HAL. Basically, you flash whatever the base is meant to be (in this case CM12.1), and dirty flash the matching rootfs over it (in this case Sailfish OS 3.x).

1. Wipe everything except for internal storage. I don't care if you are already running CM12.1, wipe your device first.
2. Base (flash this first): http://sources.vsta.org/sailfish/cm-12.1-20150901-SNAPSHOT-YOG4PAO237-hammerhead.zip
3. Rootfs (Dirty flash this right over the base): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Ku_UD7G73_Xj1hFM5D-Zd_K5fhHaiP8j
4. Reboot
5. Wait 5-10 minutes, if it sits at the boot logo or blank screen after 10 minutes, hard power off, reboot again, and wait one more time. If it still won't boot up tell me so I can prepare to debug this when my Nexus 5 comes in the mail.

I want to make this totally clear: This is COMPLETELY untested!!! - I just need to know 2 things: Does it boot up? If so, how many things work?

Tried flashing twice, stuck on boot logo. Willing to test any other builds you release. Running offical SFOS 3.0.0.8 on Xperia x, will be cool to see it on nexus 5

Well that's good to know ahead of time. I need my Nexus 5 to come in the mail before I can really test anything. Hopefully it's just a small error.
