SailfishOS for Xperia XZ

Obviously very beta-quality, but calling, wifi, camera etc. should be working.


Don't ask for dualsim or bluetooth or whatever, come help fix it instead.

Everything you need to get up and running for development are the manifests:


Please do not clutter this thread with your "reviews" or bug reports. We are only interested in genuine development here.

Is it possible to update the base to the lastest Sailfish 3.0.2 ?
The sources are all there, sadly I have no time rn.
In the spirit of this being a development forum, I'd be glad if someone picked up the work.
I have also collected a lot of info on how sailfish's build system works at sx.ix5.org/foresail, and you can always ask in #sailfishos-porters on IRC - it takes a while to get an answer, but they're nice folks, mostly.

I definitely would love to use sfos as my daily driver
Its a shame that it almost got no interest in here and the lack of android support is the thing thats holding me down.

Since im not into building and stuff (mainly cause of dont have decent hardware&connection combo rn) i cant really help but if you work on sfos anytime soon feel free to let me know.

Innovative gui, especially like these sensible gestures instead of typical navigation bar.

Howto install usualAndroid applications there? Tried to download total commander from direct download link on http://ghisler.com but after downloading apk sailfish says "unknown file type, impossible to open"

Unfortunely the android support on sfos is not open source, that means you cant really get it working on community ports afaik.

It's so pitty, this sfos gui is made by an artist! It's so nice and sensible!
Any chance to port it to usual Android e.g. as a installable launcher app?

I don't understand

Can you give me specific instructions for this step?
Then run these commands manually in the device’s recovery, e.g. TWRP:

rm -rf /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/
mkdir -p /data/.stowaways/sailfishos
tar --numeric-owner \
-xvjf /sdcard/sfe-f8331-3.0.1.11-heroic.tar.bz2 \
-C /data/.stowaways/sailfishos
rm /sdcard/sfe-f8331-3.0.1.11-heroic.tar.bz2
