Schifano: and what about Android apps on N900? There was a project, now dead, aiming to bring them to N900 via chroot (driven by lexik) but went not far from the theoretical stage. There are some clues though about the needed kernel modules and some posts about the partial progress. It's a good

Or you could buy, you know, a Jolla phone *today* and https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2028347278/tohkbd-the-other-half-keyboard-for-your-jolla because there's no point in Jolla being as open as possible and then users not supporting the community that develops awesome things like that

Indeed, it seems a good starting point. The main problem to this project is to have a compatible Android kernel running on Maemo. But it seems there is a big memory consumption, which will not be a problem with the Neo900. And it seems that with a more modern kernel it will be easier, kernel which

It depends of what you mean by good, and what do you expect as physical keyboard. You can find two or three year-old smartphones which are fine, with physical keyboard, but no ubber processors and no 4G. You can also find on the Chinese market smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy Golden. But of

Hi, Still about a Neo900 support, I have an other question : As far as I understand, basically Sailfish is Mer (Wayland version) with the Jolla UI, and with an Android kernel and libhybris. So if I am able to have Nemo running rightly on a N(eo)900 with Wayland, I will be able to run Sailfish

Sailfish is Jolla UI over Mer with Wayland Lipstick windows manager. It runs on normal Linux kernel. Android adaptations using libhybris. If you can run Nemo on your device you can just add/replace Jolla repositories and install sailfish on it. You will not have possibility to install android

You should make sailfishos port to your Neo900 yourself or just wait until someone will do it for themselves. Jolla not making own adaptations to any devices, only giving assistance. 05.04.2015 11:12, Schifano Alexandre пишет: Hi, I'm very interrested by Sailfish OS, however I'm also very
