Requirements:
Before you start to download anything, please read all this through carefully.
The first requirement is your device must be rooted and you should be able to install a custom recovery (preferably TWRP) onto it.
Installation instructions:
1. Download all files, LOS14.1 zip, Sailfish OS zip and twrp2.8.7.img to the external SD card on the phone
2. Reboot into TWRP (Hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)
At this point you should install TWRP 2.8.7 as the installation work the best with this recovery.​
Once you flashed TWRP 2.8.7, please reboot into recovery and continue the process.​
​3. Do a factory reset
4. Still in recovery, flash the LOS14.1 image
5. Still in recovery, flash Sailfish Os image
8. Reboot
9. Enjoy the latest (3.3.0.16) Sailfish OS on your Note 4 (treltexx).
You will need patience as the first boot will take for a while. Then you can go through the initial Sailfish OS set up.
This Sailfish OS Android HAL based on LOS 14.1.

Sailfish OS 3.3.0.16 for Note 4 (treltexx) - 09/10/2020
Boot logo updater for Note4 (treltexx)
kernel for lxc support (this kernel is only for sfos 3.3, the newer OTA updates all have this support!)
fix for 'Private number' calls
Problems/Solutions:
Problem: LXC container doesn't start on any of these two builds.
Solution: In TWRP install the kernel for lxc support. (This will be included into a later build.)
Problem: Incoming calls are not displaying the number only the 'Private call' text.
Solution: Install the fix for 'Private number' calls rpm. (This will be included into a later build.)
Some useful patches:
Patchmanager 3.0
More folder icons
Operator name at bottom (Stopped working on 3.3.0.16)
Silica mail (transparent background) - Well documented here
Apps from Openrepos
Apart from the Jolla store there are plenty of other, community made apps in Openrepos. There is a user-friendly app to install/remove apps from this source called Storeman. It can be downloaded and install from this location: Storeman
Debug/login/troubleshooting:
In Ubuntu, connect USB cable. telnet 192.168.2.15 2323 or SSH [email protected].
Notes:
On Sailfish OS, as it is a Linux system, you cannot install/run any android apps.
How to make a backup/restore with TWRP:
You can boot into TWRP with the usual button combination (Hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up) and can make backup/restore.
Battery life
In my experience this build gives a very good battery life (I've tested with a new battery and it drops beteen 5% - 10% overnight with wifi on)
Changelog:
10.10.2020
=========
Custom (Sailfish OS) boot logo
09.10.2020
=========
Sound fix is included, it works out of the box
GPS fixed!
S-Pen works as a mouse! To make the cursor visible (thanks for elros34!) you need to install:
Patchmanager 3 from openrepos
mousetracker
amend '/var/lib/environment/compositor/droid-hal-device.conf' file, add the -plugin evdevmouse:abs:/dev/input/event3 to the end of LIPSTICK_OPTIONS. (That line should look like this:
Code:
LIPSTICK_OPTIONS=-plugin evdevtouch -plugin evdevkeyboard:keymap=/usr/share/qt5/keymaps/droid.qmap -plugin evdevmouse:abs:/dev/input/event3
as final step apply the moustracker patch in Settings/Patchmanager, then restart the services (pulley menu in Patchmanager) or reboot, then pull out the S-Pen and use it as a stylus/mouse.
(Note: As patchmanager doesn't yet work when the default user is defaultuser, the instruction above works only on sfos 3.3.0.16 or the OTA updated 4.0.1.48. On fresh sfos 4.0.1.48 install you need to install mousetracker and manually apply the patch from it.)
28.09.2020
=========
Work:
Screen
Touch
IMEI number is detected
Sensors (Rotation, Acceleration, Gyroscope, Magnetometer, Light & Proximity)
GPS (The permanent solution will be included in a future build. Now, the workaround is (do it only once): as root delete the folder /data/system/gps and then reboot. GPS should start working)
Notification LEDs (white, green, blue, red)
Wifi
MTP
Bluetooth
Calls incoming/outgoing
Messages incoming/outgoing
Mobile data
External SD card detected and mounted to /run/media/nemo/_sdcard_name_ (where _sdcard_name_ is the name of the sd card when it was formatted like 4B93-785B)
Home button and the Back soft button
Vibra
Pixel ratio and icons set to 2.00
Audio is routed to headphone if that presents
Camera front/rear
Video recording (only on the rear camera)
Jolla store (please skip the account creating/adding in the initial setup)
findutils is installed by default (updatedb and locate commands work out of the box)
Torch
can boot into TWRP recovery with the usual button combination (hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)
Low Power Mode (AKA "sneak peek" or "ambient display") works (install instruction is in this post)
Sound - Please download the 'Sound fix script for Note4 (treltexx)' and save it into /home/nemo/Download, then give it executable permission and run as root or do the following:
Download the 'Sound fix script for Note4 (treltexx)' and save it into /home/nemo/Download
goto Settings/Developer tools, enter a Password and save it
start the Fingerterm app and within, issue the following commands
devel-su (press enter, then enter the password you set)
chmod +x /home/nemo/Download/soundfix-treltexx.sh
/home/nemo/Download/./soundfix-treltexx.sh
Do not work:
USB mode selection from Settings (workaround: as root run 'systemctl restart usb-moded' command)
Video recording on the front camera
Video playback in Gallery app (You can use Kodi for playing videos)
Internal SD card is not mounted to /android
S-Pen WIP
Extra 1: Change boot logo, Download warning image, Charring image and Download image for Sailfish OS like.
Simply download the Note4-Boot-Logo-Updater_by_edp17.zip from the download section and flash it with TWRP.
Important!: Once the zip is flashed, boot into recovery again, then you can boot into Sailfish OS.
To revert these images back to original:
Download the original param.bin and flash it with heimdal:
Code:
heimdall flash --PARAM param.bin
Inspired by this post
Extra 2: Desktop Linux distro install/run on the Note 4!
1. First flash the kernel from the Downloads section (in a later build this kernel will be included)
2. Install all the following packages:
lxc
lxc-templates
nemo-qml-plugin-dbus-qt5
sailfish-polkit-agent
python3-base
python3-gobject
dbus-python3
lxc-templates-desktop
qxdisplay
harbour-containers
mouse cursor support for SFOS and LXC
3. Once the packages are installed, fire up the LXC and install a distro into it (e.g. Debian SID)
On the Note 4 the harbour-containers GUI doesn't work properly. Fortunately the desktop distro installation can be done from a command line. Here are the steps:
sudo lxc-create -t sfos-download -n mycontainer
follow the instruction and set the distribution (e.g. debian) then the version (e.g. sid) then the architecture (armhf)
example command: sudo lxc-create -t sfos-download -n mycontainer -- --arch armhf --dist debian --release sid
sudo lxc-start -n mycontainer
sudo lxc-attach -n mycontainer
then within the container:
/mnt/guest/setup_desktop.sh
/mnt/guest/setups/debian.sh
4. Once the Desktop distro is installed you can start:
I recommend to use one of these scripts as they save a little time. (Note: You need sudo installed and configured for these scripts!)
Start LXC and desktop in landscape mode with mouse support: debian-mouse-landscape.sh
Start LXC and desktop in portrait mode with mouse support: debian-mouse-portrait.sh
Start LXC and desktop without mouse support: debian.sh
5. Enjoy.

I have figured out a solution to the sound issue. It was me forgot to include this into this build. I will add it into a later one. Until then, please follow the instruction from the main post. (I added a script into the Download section and a comment how to apply it.)
For me, this fix solved the issues with calls and torch too.

No, none of the community ports have support for android apps. However you can install a desktop linux and can run desktop apps. (Although very few is touch control friendly.) Instruction for how to install a desktop distro on this device is available in the main post.

Click to collapse
The link to the harbour-container is in the 'Extra: Desktop Linux distro install/run on the Note 4!' section (main post).
Although, here is how to install it, follow these steps:
download the 'harbour-containers-0.4-1.armv7hl.rpm' from this link.
open a terminal (Fingerterm)
type: devel-su (then press enter, then type your password and press enter again)
go to the library where you downloaded the rpm file
type: pkcon install-local harbour-containers-0.4-1.armv7hl.rpm (then press enter)
!Note: Before installing the harbour-container, you need to install ALL the other packages that are listed in the 'Extra: Desktop Linux distro install/run on the Note 4!' section (main post).
There is a full topic about all of this (also provided in the main post) here.

I think the N910V is not an Exynos but a Snapdragon device. This means, no, this port won't work on that. Sorry.

you are correct, the 910V is a snapdragon device, its actually what I used to do my Ubuntu Touch port, BTW, I am still going to do a exynos note 4 UT port, just been busy

The driver is currently only basic
Such as wifi, GPU, battery, etc. are all unavailable
But this will gradually improve in the future!

Nice. Good work on that, I'm assuming this port will be easier when windows arm devices get more widespread and supported

Good work. This is really great.
Will try that out the next days.
One thing I am just wondering.
How is it handled to boot Windows and Android?
So when you boot up the phone will it boot to Windows or to Android?
Or will it boot to Android and to boot to Windows you will need to fastboot the boot-fajita.img again?
Thanks!

Given it a go, it's not going bad is it? Very nice.
It took a while to set up so I wrote some scripts to partition and boot to recovery, along with scripts within recovery to deal with bootloader config. The only thing that wasn't automatic at this point was running DISM++
Good work. This is really great.

By default it will boot Android, unless you flash the windows bootloader img to boot.
I cannot recommend flashing the windows bootloader img at the moment- it worked and windows boots by default but from this point on I was unable to start TWRP, even via fastboot boot, so I'll have to MSM tool it to restore, which *does* wipe windows.
Other thoughts: This is almost usable, however, battery drain is through the roof and the touch screen driver is misconfigured for the display, so touch events are in the wrong place.
Keep going guys!

Great. Thanks for the answers. I will try that out as well.
I saw in the Tools folder there is a file "TouchScreen.reg" . Does that not fix the touchscreen issues or what does that do?

Actually, the last time I did it I didn't have any touchscreen issues- I must have skipped the reg file!

I just bought a USB-c HUB to connect Mouse, keyboard, USB stick to my phone when setting this up.
So if I see this correct now and the boot file can only be booted via Fastboot and flashing it to boot is not recommended due to issues to boot TWRP afterwards there is no way now to boot that without having the phone connected to a Computer or?
OK I gave that a try now. I could boot to the EFI environment and tried to apply the Windows 11 arm64 image in Dism++.
After done the steps to select the ISO file and target C: it starts to copy files and after like 1 minute I get an error Message but all the text in the message is in Chinese letters so I dont know what the error means.
How can I set the language in Dism++ to english?
Thanks!

Wishmasterflo said:
我刚买了一个 Usb - c Hub 来连接鼠标， 键盘， Usb 粘在我的手机上， 当设置这个。
因此，如果我现在看到这个正确的启动文件，并且引导文件只能通过 Fastboot 启动，并且由于启动 TWRP 的问题而不建议将其闪烁到启动，那么现在没有办法启动该启动，而没有将手机连接到计算机或？
好吧， 我现在试了一下。我可以启动到 EFI 环境，并试图应用 Windows 11 手臂 64 图像在 Dism+.
完成选择 ISO 文件和目标 C 的步骤后：它开始复制文件，1 分钟后我收到一条错误消息，但邮件中的所有文本都以中文字母表示，因此我不知道错误是什么意思。
如何将 Dism+中的语言设置为英语？

Thanks for the reply.
I guess Dism++ is taking the language settings from the Windows PE or boot.img and therefor it is set to Chinese.
I see when booting up the img file that that is set to Chinese. So if that can be changed to English I guess the Dism tool will be english aa well.

I already did that but it is in Chinese as well after launching it when booted the boot.img file therefor I guess it it fetching the language setting from the booted IMG or WinPE already.

Yes that I already did. Its more the WinPE which is in Chinese causing that Dism++ is launching in Chinese as well.
So I assume when I push the English WinPE files/Version to my phone I will have everything in english then and Dism++ will launch in English as well.
Can you provide WinPE in english?

Thank you for the SFOS support of Samsung Galaxy A5 2017!
By using 2 files, I tried to clean flush and failed.
When flushing, the error message was appeared "mount: Failed to mount..." as the red line of the attached photo. The flushing process was worked and the system booting was holded with the Sailfish booting logo.
Can you help me?
For reference, the bootloader of my phone is version 8.

first usb mtp didn't work you can use ssh instead first you must set a password for ssh from developer tools
after that you can connect to it from pc using winscp if you're on Windows like this
ssh server : 192.168.2.15
ssh port : 22
username : defaultuser
password : < your password >
if you're using Linux from nautilus > other locations > connect to server then put this server click connect it will ask you for your password

Thanks for rapid answer.
Software connection is ok! But Hareware(machine vs PC) connection is Not.
After re-install zip file which you uploaded, the ssh server connection with PC have happened the trouble.
The error message is "Host identification has changed"
Inform me for the trouble solution of the ssh server connection.

​Droidian is a GNU/Linux distribution based on top of Mobian, a Debian-based distribution for mobile devices. The goal of Droidian is to be able to run Mobian on Android phones. This is accomplished by using well-known technologies such as libhybris and Halium.​Requirements​
Android 9 firmware for your device:
Redmi 7 onclite: LINK
Files​
Download the latest fastbootable image: droidian-UNOFFICIAL-phosh-phone-xiaomi_onclite-api28-arm64-nightly_XXXXXXXX.zip
Installation​
Extract the archive
run the flash_all script
Boot to fastboot and let the script flash everything.
Alternative installation
Alternatively the UBports installer can also be used to install Droidian
Notes​The default password is 1234.
List of working things can be found at https://github.com/droidian-onclite/device-page
APN​Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names.
Broken mobile data after calls​Data connection might break after receiving and making calls. Switch it off and on from Settings -> Mobile Network to fix it. Be careful to not turn off the mobile modem or a device restart might be required.
Out of storage​By default when flashing Droidian it allocates 8GB of storage to the system. This might not be enough and luckily you can allocate more storage with ADB by running (while in recovery): adb shell e2fsck -fy /data/rootfs.img and adb shell resize2fs -f /data/rootfs.img xG where x is the amount of GB to allocate (eg: 50G for 50 GB).
SSH access​connect your phone to your computer and type ssh [email protected], the password is 1234 (on Windows, you may need PuTTY)
Applications​You can find a list of mobile-friendly Linux applications at LinuxPhoneApps
What Works
Notification LED, Torchlight, Vibration, Carrier info, Data connection, Calls, Pin unlock, SMS, Audio routing, Voice calls, Volume control, Battery percentage, Online charging, RTC time, SDcard, Shutdown, Reboot, Bluetooth, Flight mode, Hotspot, WIFI, Proximity, Rotation, Touch screen, Earphones, Loud speaker, Microphone, Waydroid, Brightness, Encryption
What partially works
Camera works fine in Waydroid but in system itself its slow and requires some technical work.
What doesn't work
GPS, Fingerprint, Offline charging, Dual SIM, Auto brightness
Waydroid​Waydroid is an Android container which lets Android apps run on Linux phones with GPU acceleration with full speed.
Waydroid works fine on onclite.
Final Notes​
I'm not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.

Attached images are from different devices but the interface looks and acts the same.

How long does first boot take, cause mine has been stuck on boot for the last hour or so. Is this normal or is my phone bootlooping?

Sry for late reply but I was eventually able to get it to work. Originally I had installed Android 9 via fastboot and booted into it. Then I went back into twrp, wiped system and data and installed the custom rom and adaptation package. This time it got stuck.
For my next go I wiped the phone entirely and installed the Android 9 rom via twrp this time. I wiped the system and data and directly flashed the droidian rom and adaptation package without booting into Android 9. This time it had worked.

​Manjaro is a GNU/Linux distribution utilizing technologies like libybris and Halium to run a Linux distribution on Android devices.​Before starting the installation I should add that Manjaro libhybris is very experimental and it might break at any time so its more of a toy. If you want a smooth and more stable experience that can be daily driven, take a look at Droidian. Droidian on onclite
Requirements​
Android 9 firmware for your device:
Redmi 7 onclite: LINK
Files​
Download the latest rootfs: Manjaro-ARM-phosh-google-sargo-XXXXXXXX.zip. (Yes my work is based on google sargo and i used that as a base mostly because i also own a sargo so i experimented with that first then based my work off of that)
Download the adaptation package: adaptation-manjaro-onclite.zip.
Download TWRP or any recovvery: TWRP.img
Installation:​
Boot into fastboot and run: fastboot flash recovery TWRP.img
Reboot into recovery: fastboot reboot recovery
in recovery wipe data and system.
Go into sideload mode and run: adb sideload Manjaro-ARM-phosh-google-sargo-XXXXXXXX.zip
After it's done go back into sideload mode and run: adb sideload adaptation-manjaro-onclite.zip
Now reboot.
The first boot will take a while.
Notes​Default password​The default password is 123456.
APN​Mobile data needs an APN to be set up from Settings -> Mobile Network -> Access Point Names.
Broken mobile data after calls​Data connection might break after receiving and making calls. Switch it off and on from Settings -> Mobile Network to fix it. Be careful to not turn off the mobile modem or a device restart might be required.
Out of storage​By default when flashing Manjaro it allocates 8GB of storage to the system. This might not be enough and luckily you can allocate more storage with ADB by running (while in recovery): adb shell e2fsck -fy /data/rootfs.img and adb shell resize2fs -f /data/rootfs.img xG where x is the amount of GB to allocate (eg: 50G for 50 GB).

Notes
Settings app does not open from the app drawer. If it has been opened from the app drawer it must be killed from the terminal.
To open the settings app run: GSK_RENDERER=cairo gnome-control-center
The fingerprint sensor acts as Enter keyboard key.

adaptation package is a sideloadable package containing all the binaires, scripts, configurations and other files needed to get the device to a working state. users flash the adaptation package once and that adaptation package installs a package as an example a deb package in debian which contains all the fixes and a repository for the user to update over the air via the package manager. so they do not have to flash anything else later they can just use the package manager and update and system will update just fine.
