[DEV][WIP]Sailfish OS Port - Alpha 2

[vgrade]

I heard at devcon that a few guys are working on Sailfish ports for a few phones, including ours. So I decided to get them together with the devs here on the forum to get the port done. The place where the developers and porters of Sailfish OS are talking to each other is on freenode, so if you want to help them... just go there and join the channel #sailfishos-porters.
Warning: This is a developement project. So please only join the channel if you really want to help. Just going there to ask for ETAs or stuff like that won' t be tolerated. Also this thread should be a place for developers to collect ideas and fix bugs, not for the purpose of asking for ETAs. Please keep that in mind.
For the initial port I would like to thank @vgrade; information on how to install the port are in second post!

This is a community port of Jolla's Sailfish OS for the OnePlus One.
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 base of an operating system called Linux, running glibc library.
It only uses parts of Android for hardware enabling (drivers).


Release Notes:
The port is considered to be of alpha quality and released as a first step to the same levels of functionality as the Nexus 5 .

Just a little status update that you see the project isn't abandoned: @vgrade is waiting for updated AOSP sources from Oneplus. Once they're live, he can cook something for us.

Is the project still alive?

 

[dansou901]

Ask @vgrade if it is still alive. I didn't hear anything the last weeks, but I hope that he's still working on it...

Hey,

I've not been able to spend much time on this since xdadev:con due to day job commitments, fingers crossed I'll get some time over the holidays to progress some more.

Let me know if you need any help, I'm new to porting, but I'd be willing to lend a hand and do some of the grunt work - if you need it.

 

[Flaming Flowair]

I'm very interested by getting Sailfish OS on my One Plus.
I don't know how to install the build you'll provide but I suppose that you will give a litte tutorial with it.
I'm now following this thread !

 

[CBpbxEcmecmBeH]

Looking forward to this

@dansou901 might be of interest.

Edit: might be your work. [emoji5]

Good find! I don't have twitter so I wouldn't see this... @vgrade, will you come here again when you're back from Barcelona? @KINGbabasula, is MultiROM ready to go for Sailfish OS?
Edit: It isn't my work, I'm not in Barcelona on MWC this year (but planning to go there someday...). So it's vgrades work together with the other Sailfish porters (see the IRC channel I linked in OP).

That's just a followup from vgrades tweet, so nothing new. The information that he will share the build after MWC is down in the comments...

Guys Hi

As you see great progress made during MWC week on the port. Stskeeps from Jolla identified the bug stoppng UI coming up so we are go now.

Good to see the chase up on Multirom as this makes it easier for folks to test. I think it just needs to have a build which includes the sailfish patches included so any recent upstream build should suffice. On the add room page you should see a SailfishOs radio button.

Stay tuned for more details and drop into #sailfishos-poters channel on freenode IRC and say hello.

Yes, this recovery does not have a version of tar which supports the -j option so the sailfishOs rootfs is not extracted, please use the recommended recovery
