Sailfish OS porting

[dragynbane222]

This is not a request to get, rather wanting information on how possible it would be.

Would it be possible to port Sailfish with what has been open sourced for the OP5? Also, would anyone be interested if I made the resulting build available to all? I'd likely make it available regardless.

Would love to see this ported to the op5.

 

[hsareminia]

of course.

I think it would be difficult until SFOS is based on LOS14. Right now the latest SFOS is based on CM13. There isn't an Android 6.0 kernel for the OP5...

-------------------------------------------------------------
Hybris-14.1 is out there, so porting may be possible

I will port Sailfish OS on Oneplus 5 as soon as I buy the device I don't see a problem in using the 7.x or 8.x kernel, can get it to boot with those also

Have you made any attempts at porting SFOS for the OnePlus 5?

 

[xreactx]

I'm currently attempting to port SFOS for the OP5. I'm encountering some problems at the moments (bootloops, no GUI).

 

[xreactx]

I've made an installable zip of SFOS 2.1.3.7 for the OnePlus 5... however, the current issue is that I cannot telnet into the device via USB to figure out where it's failing since kernel 4.4 needs some usb fix for mainline kernel testing. See http://www.merproject.org/logs/#sailfishos-porters/#sailfishos-porters.2017-11-19.log.html for the conversation regarding "usb gadget"
---------------------------------------------UPDATE-------------------------------------------------------
22Nov17 - I found a solution to the kernel 4.4 usb_gadget issue (https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/How_to_use_USB_device_networking) I am now able to telnet into my OnePlus 5 with the Mer Boat Loader running. Hopefully more progress will follow.

07Dec17 - New Update. I now have UI/touch input working on the OnePlus 5. Now the rest of the debugging begins.

Good news!

 

[dragynbane222]

Man, I forget to actually get on XDA, and someone steps up to fill the shoes I haven't been able to fill, made me remember why I like this community.

08Dec17 Update

Some more pictures of SFOS running on the OP5. I would classify this as a pre-alpha build. I will try to work out all of the bugs as soon as I can.

What Works:
GUI
Touch input
Vibration (somewhat)

What Doesnt work:
Cellular/wlan/bluetooth
Sound
Camera
Most likely other key functions...

 

[Garfanki]

Excellent!

This thread deserves more attention. As far as all the basic functions are working, I will switch to SFOS as my new daily driver. Thanks for your time and work :victory:

I'm working diligently to get this more stable. I won't post it until it has basic cell/wifi working. All thanks goes to my wife who gets annoyed when I'm constantly working on this project. Haha

Thanks for your hard work!

Good stance to take, mate! You have a far better chance of getting it up working than I do with most of my programming knowledge being limited to bash scripting. If you need a second pair of eyes on the code, though, I'm up for at least trying to understand it.

Could be worth looking into halium , there's porting work happening for the OP5. Sailfish os could potentially run on top of it.

I dont know how far along Halium is for the OP5. I've been trying to get ahold of MarioGrip for a few weeks now. I was able to get the UI started with the help of mal, guhl, zhxt, and many others. Check my work on github (www.github.com/xreactx) if you or anyone else wants to see where i may be wrong. My next step is to try and get the wifi to work, then cellular.

What is so especially at Sailfish OS ?
