Sailfish launcher for Android devices - Sailfish General

At some point in the near future the Sailfish launcher for Android will come out so that we can try it as a launcher on our Android phones before we install it on our phone as an OS.
I have some questions about it. First is when (within a 2 month time frame)? Second is how often will it update after the actual OS update? Will it follow a month behind? I have more questions.
I started a question on it at together.Jolla.com
Please sign up for an account there and up vote my question if you would like Jolla to answer.

I couldn't completely understand your questions (the OS or Launcher) but I'll try to answer as much as I can.
The launcher will arrive soon. Maybe a month. Since it's a basic launcher it will not get frequent & constant updates especially after the OS launch. Instead you can just flash to the OS itself to get more updates.
Regarding your other questions:
2. I think you're talking about the launcher.It will probably run on most Android devices. They have probably thought about the resolutions as well. The launcher will look and feel like the Sailfish's homescreens.
3. Don't know about the cover gestures. It's unlikely that the launcher will have active covers but still recent used apps will look like covers.
4. The launcher will probably guide you so don't worry. Also it's not that hard to learn it trust me .

Looking forward to the launcher. Should be cool. Just hope I'll be able to run it in my HTC

First, get ready for people bombarding you with posts that you're posting this int eh wrong section. Just post in the Q&A next time.
But to answer your question, it's never going to happen. Possible maybe, but no one is even attempting it so you're outa luck on that one. But you can always use the Windows 7 Launcher. It replicates the Metro UI look in W7.
It's in the market.
Windows is lame only cool thong is music launcher which u can also get in market.

This is nice although it would've been better placed in the general sub-forum.
I was looking foward to firefox OS when I first heard about it but now I am a bit disappointed. It has the look of IOS but it seems to just be a copy of Android. I was hoping for something original like WebOS or even BB10. If thats the case, why even bother coming out with this?
Although I am sure that Mozilla will try (and even succeed) in making FFOS faster than android, i doubt it will ever receive the same amount of support as android so I will most likely never buy an FFOS phone. Also I love all of the google apps on android.
Only time will tell if mozilla's new OS has real potential.

I seen Tex posted this in the Rom Request thread and it's amazing.... You should check it out.

Which ROM should I choose?

I've recently bought my Nexus 7 32GB Wifi, and I'm kinda flashaholic... And since I'm new to this device, I don't really know which ROMs are the best... As I've seen, most of the ROM OPs do not post ROM-bugs, which I find pretty frustrating, so I'll give you guys a list over things I'm looking for (I think you know more great ROMs than me, since I've just had my Nexus for 4 days!).
I like the stock ROM very much because of its stability, but I miss some customizations!
Okay, here's the list over what I'm looking for:
-A very stable and bugless (almost) ROM!
-A well-featured ROM with many customizations...
-A fast and powerfull ROM which don't shorten my tablets lifetime! (I'm thinking of no under/overvoltage, etc...
-And ofc... Android 4.2.1+
-The ability to place any widget on the lockscreen!
-Good battery-life!
Don't hate me if I want too much...
Thanks!

Which food should you like? What color should be your favorite? Like the subject matter of your post, no one can, or should, answer these questions but you. Test drive some and see what YOU like best... see what performs best on your unique hardware.
Oh, and IBTL.

I totally agree to the above opinion. To select your ROM, the following thread may help you.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36018963
If this is your 1st time to flash a custom ROM, i recommend CyanogenMod or AOKP. If you're looking for ROMs for tablet UI, please try ParanoidAndroid or SGT7.
Anyway ,try many ROMs to find out your favorite. enjoy
Seriously? If you scroll down just a little, you will see 1000 people who asked the same question. Read those. People starting new threads to ask this exact question twice every day insane, and has to be bad for server space. The devs take alot of time to write out exactly what their rom offers, bugs, pros and cons so you can be educated. To not read them and take the lazy route and srart a new thread is disrespectful to their efforts. Sorry, but after seeing this same thing so many times, it gets rediculous.

I was actually asking for your opinion, not hate because I'm curious! And I've never seem to find a good ROM with looking in other threads made by people with other needs!
And, no! This is not the first time I've flashed a ROM!

The issue is that thread such this are tiredly pointless. No one but you can answer your question. The only rom that you should choose is the one that you try for yourself and; ends up being what you like. No one is clairvoyant enough to predict what will give you the feature set you'll be happiest with or how a given rom will perform on your unique hardware.
The mods invariably lock these threads a soon as they catch wind of them for this very reason. I imagine the only reason it survived as long as it has is only because it hasn't popped up on their radar yet.
Rather than wasting your time and energy asking what you should choose, go to the Dev forum, read up on some of the offerings available, and then test drive the ones that pique your interest until you find the one that satisfies you.
No hate- just sound, practical advice.

Check the official documentation.
Google wrote a great tutorial on that topic.

Windows 8.1 over sense! Why?

Rumor has it that the HTC one m8 will soon have Windows 8.1 on it. I personally do not agree with this. What do you think?

what's wrong with choice...
from my side (the wm/wp side of me if you know what i mean)...
i can't wait to be able to load wp81 on this baby. :laugh:
if the windows app store was up to snuff, it would be an interesting option, but since its not, I can't imagine a lot of interest in this..
strange that htc would go this route, but I guess from where they sit, its worth a shot..

I'm not so sure you'll be able to switch between the two. Happy for someone to correct me.
The lack of apps and closed source OS would bug me though. (The closed source probably being the same reason unless you buy an M8 windows phone, you won't be getting it)
Sent from my One M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Thread closed as this is an off topic thread. It would be better to post things like this in the OT forum until a dedicated forum is created.
If there is a windows 8.1 m8 it would probably have to be a completely separate phone as the two operating systems are very different.
Many thanks,
Ghost
