About nil.

Yeh I figured that out. Our phone would have been perfect if there would have been a port. I was even willing to pay the developer. Anyway. Maybe sometime in future.

Why don't YOU port it. I mean, someone has to port if they want it. Be a project for your spare time.

I even considered that! But the only problem is am not a technically sound person.
And there are no clear instructions on how to port it to a device. I can give it a shot if somebody could point me out in the right direction

Sailfish is butter smooth and looks amazing. Had it on the Moto X Play as an Alpha release

Does anyone know where to get the source code? I looked but I couldn't find it.

I do remember having to flash CM 12 as a base yes. Things have changed. Remember it's a new OS and should be treated separately to iOS and Android. If that makes sense.
I've asked the dev if he can show where the source code is

I understand. But if it was ported, I would like it with java so I could run android apps.

I recommend reading the thread I linked you to. Android apps may be supported now....it's a year since I last used it and it was a work-in-progress

[REQ] Jolla Sailfish OS

Saw this on the main forum board of devices. Thought it would be cool to have on our devices as we seem to be picking up steam. I haven't the slightest clue to build anything so just wondering if there are any developers willing to take on a project like this. I'll post a video from YouTube for the OS Demo.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_c_BqnR_vAM&feature=youtube_gdata_player
----------------------------------------------------------------------------UPDATE--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please look at this link. It is an article from Engadget with hands on video of this OS, and guess what??? It says the source code has been released to DEVS.

It's really cool how they expanded upon Microsoft's idea of live tiles and made it so you can interact with it! Will this be shipping on devices?
I'm not sure if it's even released yet, but the more vids I watch, the more I like it

You asked what android version does it work for, hence I said it's not android. There is no mention of it running a similar structure to android like firefoxOS, so if the hardware supports it, the android version won't matter at all.
The video says it might be premiered on Nokia first.
Looks like they opened a forum for this on XDA. Jolla Sailfish
To be totally honest with all,some will agree with and some wont,but i dont care how many ways you twist and turn it,ICS,JB and Sense is all the same,stacked side by side(i do mean the UI),all these new roms look the same but have different tweaks or a new theme,im guilty of it also,it continues to look all the same,thats why im gonna do some serious researching into this Sailfish OS and try to drop it on the EVO world,i think its time for a change,for us that have fallin behind.
It hasn't been released yet. There is actually a thread for it on XDA.

Yea,just a waiting game now,hopefully it wont be long before they release a source.
I'm glad to see this thread pick up. I'm looking forward to see what this OS can offer. :thumbup:

Nobody's gonna feed you the answers if you keep on asking and bumping without even providing basic information (device variant, Android version, etc.) and doing basic research.
Resources and tutorials are abundant, and either by using fastboot or a toolkit you should be able to root it in minutes. Just search before you ask.

The answer is no - even though it's a Nexus, it doesn't have to come with root.

Galaxy Tools?

Does anyone know where I can get The app Galaxy Tools? I used to have the app with the 3.1.8 update app but my SD card got corrupted and I had to Format it. I know that development was halted and the link removed, but I can't even find anything about the developer to see if he still excepts donations/payment for it. If someone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated. I used it mostly to get My MSL Code and enable all Notification Toggles.

There was no recall on the free public app the play store took down for violating play store policies. So knock that piracy crap off... Officer.

Well, we have a telegram group about it. The reason we don't have a post about it is that it is in testing phase and there are many bugs that need to be dealt with.
You didn't mention what version of spirit you need tester's for
H420 or H440?
Or simply 3g or 4g version?
