[Request] Sailfish for N4? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I like trying new things. Gotta love the Nexus series for the flexibility to make this possible.
I would love it if someone could port Sailfish to the N4 with the ability to install under multi-rom. Right now I'm booting to Factory Android 4.3 or Ubuntu Touch or Firefox OS.
I tried the Firefox and don't really care for it. I'm pretty committed to UT, but it is taking forever to mature. LOL.
I'd try Sailfish in an instant.
Anyone?

Wow. This sank fast.
Not even a "me too?"

I also want to test it.
But I assumed it is just a question of time until someone builds it for a Nexus 4, so I did not ask for it yet.

jailfish port for n4 - non existing
close this thread!

Wow carepack you are really rude. Hope they ban you.
If people are looking for Roms it is obvious they are going to check in the nexus 4 area, especially then if that's the device they own. Why else would it have its very own section. Normally I'd thank you for pointing out that we have to search elsewhere. But you are a jerk.
Don't come ruining the xda community.

Are they planning to release any sources? I'd love to build me some sailfish

+1 i Love sailfish. Any link, source, Build?

Yes I'd be psyched if someone managed to port this.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk

Me too
We already have many different skins like stock, cyanogenmod, sense (may come soon) miui and OS's like Ubuntu, android and Firefox OS !
I am still greedy for more!

A small question...Aren't all the OSes heavily modified Android?

I'd happily donate some bucks if it happens.

I'd like try/use Sailfish on N4. And I would donate some $ too.

I also look forward to that

count me in :laugh:

No. Though some may use some android bits (for working on android phones or whatever)

I hope it will be ported too. I think it's the most exiting new Opensource OS.

Not possible. 4.2 and higher is/will be just completely incompatible with the nexus 7, no matter what. Google decided they didnt like the nexus 7 anymore

It has been proven, "facetious" and "satire" don't work on public forums.
Forums only activate the lowest 10 percent of available brain cells.
Only thing lower would be Yahoo news report reader comments.

The Question is Do you need Root Today.\?
You do not have to ask permission to root or not..With this being a nexus and knowing you made backups(well even if you did not) you can very easily go back to Stock or near stock.
I think google is going to skip the 42 update . They are may be afraid someone will have a heart attack caused by over excitment for the push of the file.. They will delay it to a less enthusiastic time...

Official source code not available for download yet. But found a not yet modded ROM in the One (M7) forum that is extremely stock like so now real work could start You can download it here
Just stumbled across this
I believe that it would only be possible by using cm10.1 base and a ROM off a phone with the same hardware *coughHTCBUTTERFLYcough*. That is my insight

Need experienced developers for making a revolutionary rom

Hi everyone. I need a team of experienced developers to make a revolutionary rom for our device. I plan to make a full iOS7 Rom. Can we make it?
P.S. I know this will be not an easy work, but we can afford it. Waiting for your advises.
I'm sure you'll have an army of devs working on it within hours. I mean, devs sit around reading Q&A with nothing better to do with their time after all. Not as if they have families/jobs/stuff they're already working on after all.
/end sarcasm
As much as the concept seem promising i can't help but wonder why someone who opted for android instead of iOS would want this ...
We all like exclusive things. This rom is going to be much more than just a little exclusiveness. That's why i think Andro users would like to have a mix of iOS design and Android soft.

By definition exclusivity will infer that it's not used by many, therefore not much demand, therefore why would devs work on it......

DSIXDA Android Kitchen Support? Aroma support?

As of yesterday i have officially gotten the Galaxy Note 3 in my hands! With that being said i am now going to start development and try and get an awesome ROM out to you guys! Before i start i must know if DSIXda's android kitchen works with this device. And also if Aroma Installer is supported with this device. Really looking forward to start development and get a few Roms out there for you guys but i gotta know this first. Also feel free to let me know what you would like to see in a ROM, especially what kind of theme. My ROMs do have a history of having some kick a** sound mods in them so do expect that!

If you have the device why do you need to know if the kitchen works?
Why wouldnt you just build and test?
Same with Aroma.
Why not just try it?

Well whenever you spend a good bit of $$ on a device and you just "play" around with it.. its not worth just trying without having knowledge because i dont want to lose an expensive device lol.

well, your reasoning might be good. Is it the Samsung crapware on the bootloader? I am not being funny, it's just that your answer was very brief and I couldn't see whether you had done any dev work on your member profile. If you have a particular and valid reason I would be interested because I am just learning and atm trying to figure out how to complile a cm11 for n3 9005 model. :laugh:

I'm a note 2 device maintainer for aokp but that's irrelevant. Locked bootloader + no way to flash kernels + no loki/kexec type option = no aosp roms of any kind. Don't waste your time.

Dear Jolla Launcher tester candidate,
Thank you for your interest in the Jolla Launcher Alpha test program! With over 13 000 requests in, we are positively overwhelmed by all the support from the community.
Although we hugely appreciate all the requests, the number of testers for the Alpha phase is limited to 600. This is to ensure we can handle and act upon all the feedback we receive. If you’ve been selected as one of the first 600 Alpha testers, details will have been sent to you in another email. If not, no worries as the Beta phase is just around the corner and you’ll be invited to be a Jolla Launcher Beta Tester.
Please follow the tag 'jolla-launcher' on together.jolla.com to either report your feedback (if you're in the group) or to follow the progress of the Alpha testing. For the reporting, please stick to together.jolla.com, so that we can better handle all the feedback.
In the meanwhile, keep an eye on more upcoming news on Jolla’s global market expansion - we can't wait to announce that!
Thanks again!
Best Regards,
Jolla Team

Well someone was going to do it sooner or latter. If they really wanted to limit testers, then they should've picked people from their own company and made them sign NDA.
