[kamnxt]

This is a port of Jolla's Sailfish OS for h815.

Standard disclaimer applies:
I take no responsibility if anything happens to your phone, if your alarm doesn't work or if it reboots when you call emergency numbers. Flash at your own risk.

Don't flash this if you need a fully working phone.

Beta? 1.1
What works:
Wifi, 4G/LTE, sound, calls, vibration, SMS, Jolla Store, GPS, accelerometer,
What doesn't:
Camera, bluetooth, stock browser (use web pirate), wifi passwords need to be entered after a reboot, some video playback crashes (can be fixed by using software decoding, for example gstreamer10-libav on openrepos)
Possibly more, please report any issues

Install instructions:
Make sure you have a backup of anything you don't want to lose, preferably not on the device
Full wipe (might work without)
Flash LineageOS 14.1
Flash sailfishos-h815
Ignore any "no system installed" warnings from TWRP

Please note that this is not an Android ROM. Your Android apps will not work until someone gets sfdroid working.

That's a part of the tutorial. If it doesn't work properly, you can try to skip it by tapping the corners of the screen from top left clockwise.

It's easy os system and very attractive to use them, hope for the new update very soon.

Great news!
When camera and browser will start working I'll try the port, till then... it's too much alpha for me

Thanks for the port!

You can use an unofficial browser like Webcat instead. Camera doesn't work yet though. I'll try to release a version with qtscenegraph-adaptation fixed soon (fixes black images).

Hello! Are you still working on this?

Hello! Are you still working on this?

Hey! I've been kind of busy lately, but I was thinking about updating it recently. I can try to compile a new version if you want (hopefully including a fix for the pink screen issue).

 

[Bullnados]

That would be nice. Also a little status update is Glas

 

[Laghie]

Thanks! But take your time, life's more important that alpha testing

BTW, is it possible to dual boot android and sailfish?

You can dualboot by modifying fstab in the kernel and recovery to point the /data and /system to sdcard.
But you need quick sdcard to not be totally unusable.

Status update time!
I'm setting up the build environment on my new laptop (it's been a while since I last messed around with SFOS...) New version should be coming soon™ (hopefully within a few days). Trying to build with a newer version of LineageOS as well, so we'll see if that works.

Yes please. Would love to see this working. There isn't enough new stuff out there for the G4 and this would be awesome.

Seems like I lost some of the files from the last time I got things working... I need to find out how I got sound working, since now it no longer works... I'll see if I can get it working again.

 

[#ApolloLiteProblems]

Awesome.
