Hello SailfishOS fans,
@mal released the first (alpha1) SailfishOS version for Fairphone4 and Fairphone5 (see here).
Because he always is very busy i will copy the release info here:
Sailfish OS 4.6.0.15 for Fairphone 4 and 5 is now available at Index of /images/ . These are fastboot flashable images with home encryption enabled. It is recommended to upgrade Android to latest version first to get latest firmware fixes and boot to Android once and test all hardware features especially mobile data and fingerprint support to make sure everything works before flashing Sailfish OS.
Also the older already existing port for Fairphone 2 is available in the same location.
Known issues
Fairphone 5
- Video recording in camera
- Hardware video codecs (apps playing videos freeze, I will try to find a way to disable hw codecs until I figure out why this happens)
- USB connections to computer not working with some USB ports, if devices seems to go into connect/disconnect loop try another USB port
- eSIM not supported
Fairphone 4
- Video recording in camera
- Bluetooth has some issues after boot (mostly with audio related bluetooth devices), restarting bluetooth service via Settings->Utilities should fix the issues
- eSIM not supported
Fairphone 2
- Camera app hangs after first video recording after boot, recording is stored though
As always mal released a very well working version and i can use my Fairphone4 as daily driver (not requiring android apps ).
If anyone have an info to the above (or potential new) problems feel free to post it here or at the SailfishOS forum.
So, many thanks to mal for the fine work .
