Just a little bit of exciting info. Another sailfish dev has made progress with anbox, and got touch input working. Nothing to release just yet, but i'll keep you informed.

You mean alien dalvik, were you able to implement it in this ROM??
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
Yes, aliendalvik.

EB9 - oh that is stable. My uptime is a shade less than a week now and it is going rock solid :D Noticed no flaws until now.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] cidxtc:
Did you use the aliendalvik from the Nexus? That is the only one I have seen but have not had time to mess with.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] PiggZ:
you could buy another, theyre cheap enough ;)

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] ecrudragon:
Android Apps Please :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Actura:
It seems there is one or two on this thread that can run ? Dalvik successfully on this sailfish os port though ?

It is not the OP responsibility to provide us with Android app support.

On the previous page he said that there is a new development on anbox but it is still far from usable on sailfish os.

Still, no ETA though and better not asking for ETA
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
Was I too early to infer? Could be something else I guess. This happened - I was using my phone as normal a few hours back, fired up a few apps, Sailorgram and Whatsapp in particular. Whatsapp failed with the unfortunately blah blah message all of a sudden and trying to restart it didn’t help. Well, that does happen sometimes, so that is fine. To make a call I opened phone app and that is when I realised lipstick has also failed, phone app wouldn’t open, rather display a rotating loading icon. That is fine as well, things could break, so I restarted home screen from sailfish utilities. But that didn't fix it.

Time to reboot; that is probably what I did wrong? Mido wouldn’t boot again, rather enter a boot loop. I can access recovery, but with no backup in hand, have to wait a few hours until I reach back home to try to rescue.

How could I figure what went wrong? Tried to access journal from twrp, /data/.stowaways/sailfishos/var/log/ and run/log/. But both were empty, perhaps journal is volatile by default or am I lurking at the wrong location?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Nikolay0054:

[MENTION=455718]PiggZ[/MENTION] can you do something with sound, I don`t hear ringtones, when someone call to me, it`s happen on electra blue kernel 6 and updgraded 9
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] PiggZ:
Can you tell me the versions of:

droidmedia

gstreamer1.0-droid

gstreamer1.0-omx

by using rpm -qi <package>, eg:

rpm -qi droidmedia
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
the screenshot
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] PiggZ:
that looks ok....

could you install gstreamer1.0-tools, and copy the output of

gst-inspect-1.0
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
I coulnt find on jolla store or warehouse. Did you mean gstreamer on github sir. I downloaded but in zip. I didnt know to install it
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
zypper install gstreamer1.0-tools

or

pkcon install gstreamer1.0-tools

Facing the same problem here. Attaching gst-inspect results.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
sorry for nob....
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] PiggZ:
That looks ok

What exactly is the problem?

Does music play back in media app? MP3? Vorbis?

Is it just ringtones?

Perhaps also start media player from the cmdline and get some logs from there and logcat
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
I think only ringtones, I back at now to android, maybe if I will be have some free time, I will install SailfishOS again and check this, but I have two questions at now:

-how to obtain logcat file and paste on this topic like .txt file

-how to skip beginner tutorial because I hate waste time on this -.-
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
-to optain logcat you can telnet your device to your computer. I tried many times but failed.

- skip tutorial.... when enter tutorial tap on top left then top right then bottom left and last bottom right of your screen.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
thanks, I skip tutorial, but sound on youtube work well, maybe this time ringtones work too ( I reinstall SailfishOS). Hmmm what about telnel can I use remote on linux or I must connect phone to pc?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
i didnt have linux so i cant tell. My trial is connect my device to pc run windows via PuTTY. but end in failure:(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
Nope, ringtones and sms sound don`t work
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
maybe something wrong with repos
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
I have something like in attachments

hmmm, I think that is failure of dialer.app not gstream or droidmedia

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
Music and video playbacks work. Trouble is with notification sounds. If someone calls, phone wouldn't ring, ot just wouldn't make any noise. Same happens with all other notifications like sms or emails. Vibration fails as well after a while.

journalctl indicates that ngfd has failed. Exectly after four retries to start ngfd, it goes permanently disabled and no more vibrations.

How to reproduce?

Fresh mido with no mods done, updated from testing: or devel: by version --dup. Open phone app pull up and down to open and close top menu (pulley menu) a few times. After four or five attempts, phone stops vibrating.

ngfd manages notification sounds and vibration feedbacks right?

Logcat

journal (journalctl -r)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
[MENTION=455718]PiggZ[/MENTION] can you help with this :(
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] PiggZ:
Does ngfd hybris work better?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
Semi solution, install fresh SailfishOS and don`t update at now. But how to use ngfd hybris?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
Tried with ngfd-plugin-droid-vibrator and qt5-feedback-haptic-droid-vibrator. That did not help, in fact vibrations stopped except from keyboard.

Is that what you mean by trying nhfd hybris?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] jheps:
Newbie question.

How to install facebook? :confused:
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
android support is unavailable at the momment.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
sailbook is in openrepos app, it`s a native client of facebook for sailfish OS
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] neokragu:
can google drive whatsapp backup to be restorable to jolla whatsapp client
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
Sailfish doesn't have a working native Whatsapp client at the moment. You have to use the android compatibility layer to run the android whatsapp.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] jheps:
Ok Thank you
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] neokragu:
so android WhatsApp apk can be used in sailfish?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
Yes, if you have official device with SailfishOS (like Sony Xperia X) with flashed SailfishOS, because then this OS offer android apps support. But port of this OS for our devices don`t offer this feature, so you can`t use WhatsApp
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
So that was ngfd. A system update pulls a later version of ngfd from adaptation-community-common repo and upgrades the existing version. Downgrading the package from jolla repo brings back notification sounds and vibrations.

Do the following to downgrade ngfd.

devel-su

zypper install -f ngfd-0.112-1.24.1
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:

Oh! yes :good: Great work! That fills any gap that existed :laugh:

I believe the first post could now have this video as well. Speaking of first post, the repo URL is directed at devel: there, would it better be directed at testing: instead?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
alien-dalvik is a part of SailfishOS, it`s a paid and licenced feature, nowhere to find as a file to install, and I think it don`t work itself because it must have compiled drivers for work.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] qwebnm2000:
That why I'm here to waiting :))
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
so let's hope for anbox instead of alien dalvik. I heard many developers work hard to port anbox to sailfish OS . We hope that this is best solution for us to run android apps on sailfih
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] iHusky:
I don`t think that alien dalvik will be availiable to download now and in the future (it have closed code as third party app). I think that will be better and faster to buy SailfishOS Device and run android apps without waiting for anbox :)
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Actura:
Then you need to wait for anbox or next leak that we don't know when is it going to be happen. Maybe later you can find it on Baidu though.

Maybe it'd b okay if v called alien dalvik by a nick or so .. aldal.. xD
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Actura:
It is, but it is also helpful for the user.

I agree we should just nickname it so it should be easier for us to recognize it but not so easy for those from outside.

Especially from Mae** forum. I have seen you asked them about this advik before, i guess they must have saying a lot things to you, illegal,support the devs, something something.

-##-

If a certain of advik needs a specific kernel version, how about kernel version spoofing?

This could work.

The most recent one should be one on sf os X, the compatibility should be better.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] Samar Musthafa:
Okay . But, how will u roll the updates out? Piggz said he won't support Advil didnt he?

So.. u gonna make an unofficial sfos?
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] dreamofdeath:
sailfishOS were officialy for few devices only... (jolla, xperia x, turing, etc). for the other device we could call it port or unofficial. advik is available for official only. our device was lucky because there was developer like Piggz port it to our device and make update enable. it was enough for us, dont ask more like advik to him. so imo we must stop to discuss advik now. cmiiw
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 [Snapdragon] ROMs, Kernels, Re] lal883:
Yes, it is certainly a little unfortunate that the companies out there do not make native applications for accessing their services on Sailfish, which makes the reliance on android (or a supporting runtime) a necessity at times. For that reason, it is further unfortunate that Jolla doesn't allow aliendalvik to be licensed by a normal user. But check this and be happy and wait android happy place

I believe, though, that native apps are the real way to go. Six years back playing NFS Shift on Nokia N9 running MeeGo was really awesome NFS Shift - Nokia N9

How hard will it be to port Sailfish OS there?

Does anyone interested in doing the same?

I'm just user , but can inform that according sailfish dot org to be a porter we must have knowledge about :

Linux kernel and OS development

Git , Github code review process

Android Platform SDK

Linux on your hand

there is a community in IRC on freenode who will help us

If you didnt have music player to play music, there was an app in jolla store called media. download it and install it. you can listen to FM radio too through this app. but if in your case you have music player but you can't play music (no sound) , you must update your sailfish via OTA. read first page to update via OTA.

the stock android miui is better than sailfish camera. if you gonna try please remember that sailfish is not android, so you can't run android apps like whatsapp , telegram on it. you can use android apps client of them on sailfish. like sailorgram which its client for telegram, etc.

no, you can't at the momment. sailfish on mido isn't support android apps
