I too had ERROR in TWRP (from TWRP site and treble TWRP), just removed from updater-script 1 line and it's working fine on treble TWRP.
Awesome work mate with this port. Do you tried to install alien dalvik? I found some instructions on maemo forum.
I set camera in 10MP mode and it's not working now, and I can't use app "touch" from jolla store.

Hi, I found some bugs, you mentioned GPS (network location working, I tested WhoGo maps and it's show close location), sensors and:
Low camera resolution, low maximum brightness (on sun I see nothing) and I can't do logcat with alien dalvik (I wrote to you in IRC channel). Torch is working fine, now I'm using system torch.
With latest update stock browser working fine.
I tested mobile data, sms, phone calls, wifi, camera (front, back), recording and playing it. All good :)
If you need any log or testing help just PM me or give instruction here. :D
I also wrote to MOD to move thread to development and it's happened.
Again thanks for work at this port.
