Has anyone successfully attached and used a wired Usb keyboard. I've searched thoroughly but haven't seen it specifically answered.
The only references seem to be regarding the potential blue-tooth capabilities, news that we all anxiously await. But I'm interested only in a wired...or possibly a wifi solution. at this time. I know that it has been done on an HTC android, and they speculated that it should be possible on most android phones but I haven't seen this confirmed for the nook color. I only ask because I would have to buy (arrggg.....spend money, deep breaths, deep breaths) and would like to be sure before making any purchases, thanks.
I wonder if this could come out. If so, that would be amazing. I'd like to see a port of Jolicloud come out for the TP. Can any devs touch on this?
well jolicloud is actually ubuntu so im guessing its possible
this question has been asked before, and it's something I'm interested in as well, it would seem that it would work however the answer I saw before is no because jolicloud has no support for arm based devices. HOWEVER, I am following the development of rasberrypi, and on their forums one of there devs said that jolicloud is porting a version over with arm support, so I believe real soon we will have a version that will work.
I've looked into porting this myself based on the instructions provided from Jolla's website (found here https://sailfishos.org/develop/hadk/), it seems pretty straight forward. However apparently (according to Jolla) it cannot be done on a 32bit system even if I use Linux (which I do). I was wondering if anyone has entertained the thought of porting it, as there's a 2.0 version of the OS out now and I really want to try it. Kind of missing it from when I used to play around with it on my Nexus 5.
Conversely, if anyone knows a workaround to using a 32bit system, or if they have knowledge of it actually being possible on a 32bit system (could be Jolla is being overly cautious in requiring a 64bit system, but I believe it has something to do with working with MER), your advice would be forthcoming. Willing to put in the work, I just apparently don't have the tools according to Jolla and can't afford a new computer. My two Linux systems (one running Kubuntu, one running Backbox) are very capable. This is just the only prerequisite I don't meet.
As far as multirom, I'm curious if anything special has to be done besides the instructions from Jolla to make it compatible as a secondary rom at least.
Thanks in advance for all responses and patience. I may be a low contributor/noob to this site, but given the proper tools and advice I think I can pull it off. I haven't found anyone that's working on this for the Nexus 6, so if there is someone, obviously I'm willing to help or test.
Special note to Tassadar if you happen to see this: Multirom is the best thing that's happened to android since custom kernels. lol Big ups for your creation!
Awesome I hope more are interested too, I don't have resources to help either besides a test.
I can say that I have never been more impressed with a UI than the one I flashed on my n5 called Sailfish, Same as you I think.
To others of you have what's needed and haven't seen the ui please check it out. I thought it was minimal, sleek, and I believe it used mostly touch commands.
This thread is kinda in the wrong forum. Should be in q and a or general discussion.
But yes I would love to see this on my phone
First, don't post Q&A in development forums. Second, the first step in the guide states the device must be officially supported with CM 10.1.x, which this device isn't. Unless they just haven't updated their guide this will never be possible until it's updated to something based on Lollipop.

Please read the Forum Rules on posting, Moved here...
FYI, android also has needed to be built on 64 bit only for several versions now. I think since Ice Cream Sandwich.. 32 bit just isn't cut out for it.
Sorry to raise this thread from the depths, but why haven't any devs pursued this?
I would love to try sailfish os on the nexus 6!
A $200 budget device was released just a few days ago in India that runs sailfish os natively, which is why i started looking into it for shamu.
Thought about picking one up, but the cellular bands aren't great for use in the U.S., and spec-wise doesn't hold a candle to shamu.
Through a little searching, it seems one person with the handle of mad_fitter on merproject irc attempted a port back in March, but never finished it afaict. Apparently, the fact that he had an intel chip prevented him from completing the final steps somehow...
This is an old post, but i love my phone and have dabbled with sailfish os before. If it could be ported that would be great and according to the the HADK documentation you can now use a cm 12.1 image instead of 10 to build it, whih was available for shamu. Someone could get the image from archive.org and use that. I have no experience with porting roms so i wouldn't be able to do it but if someone else could it would be great for the few of us that want it.
I would love to try this on my shamu, as well.
Has there been any development on this?
anybody have ubuntu touch roms for the droid 4? i cannot find them anywhere, all links are broken now.
Hey I don't have the images for you, but surprised to see someone still using this phone, would like to know if i could PM you to share some files or tips for this phone?
Never really used JB or safestrap before.
I remember a while back I searched for ages to find the files required to set up Ubuntu Touch, but gave up in the end. It didn't sounds like it ever really got to a usable state anyway.
I'm more that happy with Sailfish for the time being, and hopefully it won't be too long before PostMarketOS and Maemo Leste are usable on this device as well.
just an update, i talked to the original developer and he could not find them all over his old computers. unfortunate, but anyone with info still would be awesome
Hey everyone,
I haven't been on XDA for awhile, but recently made a forced-switch to Android. Years ago, I made a fairly popular rom for the Droid Incredible, and was considering a new project for the RP2 that would focus on user privacy / security.
I was hoping there was someone who knew the chipset for the RP2, as Razer is unable to provide the information directly.
If someone could let me know, I'd really appreciate it!
It uses the qcacld3 oss drivers. I'm not sure if that tells you anything. Any specific command to run which reveals it?
