!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First I would like to thank elros34, mal, adampigg and all the Sailfish OS porter guys who helped me to make this port.

Thank you very much, guys!

Requirements:

Before you start to download anything, please read all this 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 kernel*.img to the external SD card on the phone

2. Reboot into TWRP (Hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)

3. Do a factory reset

4. Still in recovery, flash the LOS14.1 image

5. Still in recovery, flash Sailfish Os image

5. Still in recovery, flash kernel*.img into /boot partition

8. Reboot

9. Enjoy the latest (4.0.1.48) Sailfish OS on your Galaxy Note (N7000) :)

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 4.0.1.48

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 nemo@192.168.2.15.

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.

Changelog:

=========

Works:

Screen

Touch

IMEI number is detected

GPS

The softkeys (each side of the home button) work as notification LEDs

Wifi

MTP

Calls incoming/outgoing

Messages incoming/outgoing

Mobile data

S-Pen works as a mouse. To make the cursor visible you need to do some manual work as Patchmanager doesn't yet work on sfos 4.0:

install mousetracker

amend '/var/lib/environment/compositor/droid-hal-device.conf' file, add the -plugin evdevmouse:abs:/dev/input/event9 to the end of LIPSTICK_OPTIONS. (That line should look like this:

LIPSTICK_OPTIONS=-plugin evdevtouch -plugin evdevkeyboard:keymap=/usr/share/qt5/keymaps/droid.qmap -plugin evdevmouse:abs:/dev/input/event9

as final step copy this compositor.qml into /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/

(Rename the existing one in there first!)

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 1.25

Audio is routed to headphone if that presents

Camera front/rear (only for taking pictures)

Jolla store

findutils is installed by default (updatedb and locate commands work out of the box)

Torch

the charging icon does work properly however there is a little delay

can boot into TWRP recovery with the usual button combination (hold buttons: Power on + Home + Volume up)

kernel and recovery .img can be flashed from TWRP (no need for PC to flash Sailfish OS, kernel and recovery)

Low Power Mode (AKA "sneak peek" or "ambient display") works (install instruction is in this post)

Do not work:

Bluetooth

Light sensor is turned off

Video recording (WIP)

Video playback (WIP - until you can use Kodi for playing videos)

Just like with the S2 (i9100) there is an extra little issue is a delay in screen refresh.

Battery life:

In my experience the battery life is good. (Although the battery I have in the device is VERY old.)
