[Q] Sailfish OS port? - Nokia X

I've been wondering about the port as nokia is low on its resources (GHz and RAM) and sailfish os is low on requirements to hardware. So what are you guys thinking? is it a good idea to port it for a daily use or better just to use nokia x interface and stop wondering?

salfish os wil b available for nokia xl ?

How smooth is it compared to android?

Jolla says it should be available for android devices as separate launcher and OS as a whole but doesn't state whether it will be available for all smartphones or just specified bunch of them

My friend had a tizen phone. He threw it away after a month. So I think its not worth porting. Maybe Ubuntu Touch or something else might be interesting

IMO Sailfish OS is a more interesting OS to port since it has Jolla behind it as an active developer and also I like SFOS' Ui.
Ubuntu Touch / UBPorts is more like a dead end and K doubt that you will find that much developers for supporting the OS with apps.
Plasma Mobile is also another interesting one but in its current state it is afaik Ubuntu Touch with a Plasma Desktop but it may will support SFOS and Nemo apps in the future which would give it quite a good amount of apps.
Yes please port sailfish os to our zuk z2

Other-than-Android OS out there?

I've seen some efforts like Plasma Mobile and Ubuntu Touch, both don't have support for Pixel 2XL... Are there any Non-Android based projects for Pixel 2 XL?
Thanks.

Looks like Graphene is the only non-Android OS available for Pixel 2. Check it out here: https://grapheneos.org/

I'm guessing you want this because you're one of those people who just wants to go against the grain, eh?
I remember when Android *WAS* against the grain.
The year was 2008, and I just got in my hands a brand new and not so shiny HTC Dream Android Developer Phone 1.
People said I was crazy, that it would never go anywhere.

Can anyone port Sailfish OS ?

This is a good OS with a very different UI. Fun to use.
I used it in Redmi 4x previously. Bad sadly, for A2 lite, no one ported it yet. Just in case if you don't know, this OS can run android apps thought it is completely a different operating system.
As far as I know, porting this rom is same as porting an android OS... So if anyone can, please give a try... We will be thankful!

That would be cool if someone could port it for this device I agree. But SFOS only runs android apps on official devices such as Jolla C or a couple of Sony phone , xperia x or xperia xa2. I own the xperia x running SFOS 3 and it really is a great is. Great alternative if some is trying to get away from google.

Android 12 performance on Whyred ?

Hi,
Does somebody knows if our phone will get a performance hit on Android 12 with all the new features or It will be lighter than Android 10 or Android 11 ?
On google I found this
""Performance. With Android 12, we've made significant and deep investments in performance - from foundational performance that makes the system and apps faster and smoother, to a new standard for high-performing devices that helps developers deliver richer experiences on those devices.""
Does this means that Android 12 will put some pressure on the low end devices like Whyred ?
Thx
Troll thread..
Has this quote any meaning to you:
" high-performing devices"
Do you think whyred is high-performing device ??
Or is it low-end cheap device?

Just asking. For me is still performing well enough for what I do.
I'm still thinking xda is a great community.
thx to all the developers for supporting this phone.

General Oxygen OS and Color OS merging

Hi friends,
Six years ago, we created OxygenOS based on the idea that fast and smooth software is fundamental for a good smartphone experience. Since then, OxygenOS has proven to be one of the best Android operating systems available on the global market.
We started as a small brand, but since last year when our product portfolio started expanding much more quickly, we’ve come to realize that we need significantly more resources and a larger technology platform to make sure each product can receive stable and timely software updates, while delivering a world-class user experience.
After a lot of evaluation and discussion, we’ve come up with a solid plan to best leverage our shared resources with OPPO. In order to improve efficiency and standardize the software experience across our portfolio, we’re working on integrating the codebase of OxygenOS and ColorOS.
This is a change that you will likely not even notice since it’s happening behind the scenes. We now have a larger and even more capable team of developers, more advanced R&D resources, and a more streamlined development process all coming together to improve the OxygenOS experience.
OxygenOS remains the OS for global OnePlus users as always, but now built on a more stable and stronger platform. This will apply to new devices in the future, while for existing devices that are still within the maintenance schedule, it will occur via an OTA update along with Android 12.
Most importantly, with this change, we are happy to announce an improved software maintenance schedule for the lifecycle of our open market smartphones:
Flagship product line (including T / R): The OnePlus 8 series and newer devices will receive 3 major Android updates and 4 years of security updates.
Nord / Nord CE: The first OnePlus Nord and newer Nord / Nord CE devices will receive 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates.
Nord N series: Starting from N10 and N100, all N series devices will receive 1 major Android update and 3 years of security updates.
(Note: Flagship devices released prior to the OnePlus 8 series will follow the previous schedule of 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security updates. Software update plans for carrier versions will follow the requirements of our carrier partners.)
We believe that OxygenOS will continue to offer the best Android experience possible for you. Thanks for your continued feedback and support.

Let's hope Oxygen forms the larger part since Color OS is NOT popular at all.
Also means that we will get 3 yrs of OS updates and 4 yrs of security updates.
Merging the 2 might just be good for custom development since there will be more devs working on a standard codebase.
how to go to lastest color os from 11.2.8.8 ? must wipe data ?

Well the language seems to imply that oxygen will be the base and color os will just be merging in backend stuff, which as long as it doesnt start adding proprietary chinese bloat doesnt seem too bad to me. The bigger news in my mind is their commitment to 3 years of OS and 4 years of security updates. When they announced the merge with oppo everyone thought "oh so they are just going to stop caring and not support their phones as well" but it seems they are keeping their word on it enabling a better update schedule with more resources.
Wait ! What ??? You got Oxygen os 11.2.8.8 ?

Not yet.
I think next update is coloros
I used Oxygen os for few weeks but returned to coloros, i can feel battery is better
I can't wait maybe we get better AnTuTu scores then like colorOS who scores 800k and oxygenOS 750k
It's official! The next version of Oxygen OS will be replaced with color os! All oneplus phones will now run color OS from August 2021! RIP Oxygen OS!
I keep hearing that color os is more battery friendly. I am curious how it is going to work out.
Color OS = China
Oxygen = world wide
You can NOT replace google store for the rest of the world ! Not that easy ! They Loose a Big peace of the market !

I don't know where he found that info but it's not true easy. They will continue oxygen and with the Android 12 new look will be introduced and for sure Oxygen Os will be different than Color Os to recognize both brands.
Some good perspective on this topic:
The OxygenOS-ColorOS merger was inevitable, and I'm looking forward to it
OxygenOS is merging with ColorOS, and that has me excited. There's a lot of potential for great things to happen, if it all goes well!
