Hi,
This are some pictures of Sailfish OS Version 1.x and 2.x ported to the Vision. This is still very Alpha but I wanted to show you that I am working on it again and that there is some progress.
Download:
Sailfish OS Version 1.x
Sailfish OS Version 2.x
Sailfish OS Version 2.1.x.x (current)
ROM cm-11-20171119-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip (for version 2.1.x.x)
Alpha 8: hybris-boot-vision-29171119.img (current boot)
Alpha 8: sfe-vision-2.1.2.3-guhl171119.tar.bz2 (current rom)
Installation prior to 2.1.x.x:
Installation for 2.1.x.x:
The installation of the 2.1.x.x does not work by regular recovery method. Below you find instructions on how to install it manually.
1. Boot into Android Recovery and make sure that the sdcard is mounted
2. Upload the CM release: adb push cm-11-20171119-UNOFFICIAL-vision.zip /storage/sdcard0/
3. Upload Sailfish OS: adb push sfe-vision-2.1.2.3-guhl171119.tar.bz2 /storage/sdcard0/
4. In the Recovery on the device:
4.1. Clear data and cache (factory reset)
4.2. Install the CM release by picking the CM image (this is needed so that the correct version of the binary libraries and firmware files are in place)
5. Mount /data
6. On you PC open a adb shell to the device and in the shell do:
When it's done -> exit the adb shell and boot the phone do bootloader (i.e. using "adb reboot bootloader")
7. flash the boot using fastboot
Afterwards boot the phone (i.e. using "fastboot reboot")
After the initial boot (that will take some time) the language selection and initial setup will show (it might happen that the screen turns of before the language selection comes up -> press power from time to time.
Then it will take some time and you will be asked to enter a security code twice.
At the step where it asks you to set up a Jolla Account you can skip this (the option to skip it is at the end of the text - scroll down do see the line)
After that it will take a while and then the Jolla tutorial should come up. You can skip the tutorial by clicking the corners of the screen in the following sequence: Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Right, Bottom-Left.
Remark
- During the tutorial the screen will hang several times (you might better skip it). The best thing to go forward is to press the power button to turn the screen off and on and then continue. This is very annoying, but I did not trace done the reason for this hangs yet.
- In Settings - Text Input: change the layout of the hardware keyboard to T-Mobile G2
- Proximity sensor does not work properly yet (it's stuck). Therefore one can not answer an incoming call as the screen will always stay blank. The proximity sensor can be disabled by triple pressing the powerbutton (phone will vibrate as a confirmation). After this phone calls work.
- Overclocking: in a terminal (ssh or telnet), after gaining root via devel-su you can set the maximum cpu scaling frequency with the following command: echo 1516800 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
This is still a Alpha ROM so do not expect it to work properly. See the change-log about the current status.
Change-log:
Current Version
Version 171119
Old Versions
Credits:
sledges, piggz, alin, mal- et al. from the #sailfish-porters IRC channel on freenode
These guys are doing amazing work and their competence and readiness to help reminds me of the good old days on #G2ROOT.
Without their support this would not have been possible!
Have fun - Guhl
