Code:
* I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
* thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
* do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
* before flashing it!Continuation from 2.0 thread to keep most important information in first post. Thanks to vevgeniev for initial port, without it I would never buy Photon Q.
Repo with my apps is added to image. Packages can by installed via terminal:
Code:
devel-su zypper in "package name"Installation
- Download and flash cm-11-20150626-SNAPSHOT-XNG3CAO1L8-moto_msm8960_jbbl.zip via twrp-3.0.2-0-asanti_c.img according to ordinary cm instruction. Boot to android and make sure everything works.
Download SailfishOS 3 image (open it in private mode if onedrive ask you to login) and flash it over cyanogenmod. It's compressed tarball so installation may take even 10 minutes.

Instruction how to use it
Known issues
- Half screen mirror glitch occurs sometimes. Blank/unblank display fixes it
- Sometimes removing files does not have any effect, i.e. free space doesn't increase and sdcard can't be unmounted. Could be easily triggered by mtp or dd usage. For sdcard access use FileZilla (SFTP).
- Some mp4 videos with aac fails to play due to unsupported codec format by android hal. Try my video player orangeplayer (you need gstreamer1.0-libav package)
- QProcess:startDetached can hang randomly. Workaround added to fingerterm. Looks like it's not photon q specific: https://together.jolla.com/question/202337/bug-fingerterm-terminal-freezes-after-opening-new-window
- There are no 2.XG, 3.XG network indicators.
- glReadPixels() always returns empty content. It means no screen recording, screenshots and thumbnails in browser. Workaround for screenshots added to lipstick.
- All bugs at first boot are features.
FAQ
Q: How to run apk?
A: It's not android, you can't
Q: Can I switch hardware keyboard layout?
A: Default xkb layout switch shortcut: "shift + sym". You need to also set second keyboard layout:
Tips
- Fast way to restart lipstick:
shift + tab + k - Alt + Tab like switching (if you have sailfishos-alttab-patch installed):
OK + tab - To disable volume media keys:
dconf write /apps/photonq-helper/mediaKeysEnabled 0 - batt_health can cause reported battery capacity decrease which I am not sure works correctly at least on my aging battery. It's disabled since 3.3.0 in 2 places in /init.target.rc. Therefore btry will not report Aged Capacity anymore.
- To use h264 (hardware accelerated) decoder in youtube set in about:config media.mediasource.webm.enabled to false
