Thanks a lot, I got it! 
Hi!
Has anyone tried the latest SailfishOS on fp2-sibon-17.06.4?
I cannot find the âmanualâ download anywhere so I donât know if itâs possible to upgrade
the Fairphone Open Android Base without loosing your SailfishOS -anyone know if itâs
possible to accomplish this by using the fp2-sibon-17.06.4-ota-userdebug.zip or
fp2-sibon-17.06.4-ota_from_gms-userdebug.zip?
I tried installing first fp2-sibon-17.06.4-ota-userdebug.zip from TWRP and then restoring
the Data and Boot from a backup but that didnât work⊠Any ideas?
Btw, is there any way to calibrate the approximity sensor on Sailfish or do I have to run
Android to do that?
Also, after upgrading to 2.1.0.11 as @explit described above the store doesnât work anymore
-how do I fix that?
Thanx!
Sailfish on the Fairphone is Android 5.1 based. To use the Android 6.0 as base - Sailfish need to be rebuild.
Mal- said (maybe) he will do it some time

Hi!
Ok, so the latest 5.1 based download must be fp2-sibon-17.04.0-manual-userdebug?
I got this sorted out -the data connection didnât work because the SIM2 was somehow enabled
after the upgrade even if it is empty -disabling it brought the connectivity and the Jolla Store back
to life!

Yes, the last system.img (Android Base) image working with Sailfish is 17.04. But if you want working camera and video - you should take 16.10
Mal- fixed all the kernel-vulnerabilities from Fairphone Open 16.11 - 17.04 in his Sailfish Kernel, so 17.04 will not bring any advantage over 16.10, WHEN you using SailfishOS

Hey guys!
I wanted to try out sailfish today. I came from FPOOS 17.06.4 (Android 6).
I did everything just as described here (https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_fp2) under âinstallation stepsâ, including the battery drain fix.
Fastboot showed no errors. However, the phone wouldnât boot into 16.10, I got the âloadingâŠâ-screen, but it got stuck there. Did wipe the phone with TWRP, but it still stuck on the âloadingâ-screen.
Any ideas?
Hello @madguitar
That loading screen you are talking about, itâs when Android is loading or what ?
And, where did you stop exactly in the how-to ? Just before the âSailfish OS installationâ part ?
Exactly, my last commands were
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
got no errors from fastboot, device rebooted, but it didnât boot into Android 16.10, it hung on the loading screen for several minutes, until I gave up.
It works. Thank you very much!
I added the long overdue release of Sailfish OS 2.1.0.11 alpha4 to wiki https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_fp2. This is an OTA-only release so no new installation zip this time. In addition to the fix of the LED regression seen in alpha3 this release only consists of the new Sailfish OS version and some kernel security fixes.

Thanks for all your work to port Sailfish OS to the FP2
I am using Sailfish OS on my Jolla tablet and I really like it. It would be great to have the same on my FP2, including the possibility to install Android apps (where no appropriate app is available on the Jolla store or warehouse).
So I was hoping for official Jolla support for the FP2. As this doesnât seem to happen, I wonder how are the chances to get Anbox working on sailfish OS?
There is currently some issue in the Sailfish OS port of Anbox with all devices using kernel version 3.4 which makes it fail and that needs to be fixed. Probably some missing container feature or some other missing patch from the kernel. But in general it might be possible.

Hi @mal. thanck you for all your work on SFOS porting.
I have two questions :
- whatâs your project for the futur, will you still work on SFOS for FP2? Or like other (for exemple @explit ) will you go on xperia, or other?
- I still have the issue of crash of screen after a call, the tactile function of the screen is deactivated after a call (in french :la fonction tactile de lâĂ©cran est dĂ©sactivĂ©e aprĂšs un appel). Is it normal?

I have no plans to stop maintaining the port Sailfish OS for FP2 any time soon. The loss of touch control after calls is in my opinion a problem with the proximity sensor, have you tried calibrating it?

Well, Thanks Mal, that gives us hope. You are a very good guy, and you do a monster-job developing and maintaining the fp2-sibon SailfishOS Port. But you are alone. And this makes me very sad.
I know you are very active in the sailfish-porters channel on Telegram / IRC. And i hope you guys (who is familiar with SailfishOS Porting) will help each otherâŠ
Lets hope things are not getting worse. This is my only hopeâŠ

Thank you itâs good to heard.
Ok I will try to install Android, calibrat proximity sensor and install SFOS.
Should I install FP2-gms59-1.5.1-manual befor calibrating?
Another question to @mal Did you use Halium or will you use halium in futur for SFOS port?
It is useful?
Proximity sensor calibration requires newer Android and firmware files, you should install at least 16.10 or even newer and after reinstalling (or if you do not format data you can only reinstall sailfish boot.img to get Sailfish back) you need to install back those old firmware partitions from 1.5.1.
About Halium, I havenât decided if I will at some point move to Halium or not. So far nobody has used that with Sailfish but it shouldnât be impossible but might require some modification of the Sailfish boot scripts.
I just updated today to OTA-alpha4 successfully
I followed the wiki instructions; I had to remove (ssu rr) adaptation0, extra (not necessary since adaptation-community and adaptation-community-common) and store (ânot foundâ message)
Thank you for your work, @mal !
Also, I configured successfully CalDAV/CardDAV synchonisation with my ownCloud server.
For future memories, here is the procedure (owncloud 9.1):
- Settings > Accounts > Add account > CalDAV and CardDAV
- Login and password of the owncloud instance
- URL: https:// my-instance-of-owncloud /remote.php/dav/ (it wasnât working without the remote.phpâŠ)
EDIT: and I also flashed the SailfishOS splash screen of @explit
