As I am to it, would you know by any chance if the alternative Sailfish OS, that is still mentioned in the front FP product page, is still ‘in progress’ or has evolved a bit?
The current version works perfectly fine.
However, yet there has not been any agreement between the Jolla community and Fairphone to officially support it, thus it remains (a fully functioning) community port. Downside of no official support: Commercial parts (like Alien Dalvik to run Android apps) are not running yet.
For more info have a look at this:
Yet another thread to Sailfish OS how to install the current alpha Sailfish OS on the FP2 . Some people already did that, and posted their experiences here . However, the thread is closed, and the moderators think it would be confusing to re-open and continue there (as the thread went a long way, covering many issues before getting to experiences), which is why it might be better to start a new thread on experiences with Sailfish on FP2. So…
Hey, I stumbled over the following conversation on twitter: https://twitter.com/Fairphone/status/719470603779092481 . Here are the most notable tweets:
