Access to jolla store for Oneplus One
Since the port of Sailfish OS is evaluating with big steps (Thanks to @vgrade and @yacuken) and popularity is rising, people want to have the full Sailfish OS experience on the Oneplus One. So this is a request from an oneplus one user to get acces to the official Jolla Store.
I flashed Jolla sailfish os in oneplus one. It's a marvelous experience. I request to support the Jolla sailfish port to opo and help the developers like vgrade, so that we can have Jolla sailfish full experience.
manish1ly ( 2016-02-14 18:53:05 +0200 )editDon't think it will happen. Jolla's current business model is to license their phone to mobile makers. If the community supported edition has all features as the licensed Sailfish OS, why would OnePlus makers be interested in paying Jolla? Secondly, some mobile makers may even turn hostile towards Jolla if they believe Jolla is pushing their OS on their phones without their approval. Preinstalled / Bundled apps are one other way these mobile makers make money and if you install some other OS, they lose any recurring income from such tie-ups. Ideally we would all like Jolla to sell us the license directly, but I guess there's more money in licensing it to the cell manufacturers and bundling ads / spywares in the OS ...
sifartech ( 2016-03-05 03:10:51 +0200 )edit@sifartech you might be right. but then, do you think Jolla could consider selling a real license to oneplus users ? I'd like to pay one to have a well running sailfish on my oneplus phone. I was a happy user of paranoid android on my oneplus one but when oneplus decided to hire some of the paranoid team to create oxygen os, the oneplus version of paranoid was left abandoned. ota also stopped working. I have been considering buy a jolla phone but when I heard that a port of sailfish was in sight, I thought I could continue to use this wonderfull phone which is the oneplus one. for jolla, a big part of the port has already been done by (marvelous magician) vgrade, all they have to do is working a bit with him (or him with them) to help finish it. is it a stupid idea ?
jp.vitulli ( 2016-03-05 10:19:27 +0200 )edit@jp.vitulli - Oh, I agree completely with you! I have been insisting from day 1 (since I became a Jolla phone owner), that Jolla should sell the OS license directly to us users. But we can only speculate why Jolla doesn't choose this route to monetise their business.In some ways, we Indians are more lucky then most others elsewhere because the next officially licensed Sailfish OS phone will be released in India (Aquafish from Intex). While I badly want to buy that phone (when it will be released) I still have huge doubts about it because the Sailfish OS in this new phone will also have stupid built-in 'partner feed' / 'advertisement feature' (called super apps - details abut this are sketchy though). We can only hope better sense prevails ... and maybe OnePlus might also change their mind and decide to partner with Jolla ...
sifartech ( 2016-03-05 20:22:59 +0200 )editI don't think this rap that OEMs wouldn't like Sailfish Os porting is true. Look at CyanogenMod, MIUI, TencentOs, YunOs... And they are going stronger everyday.
All it takes is Jolla's good will to make porting work and gather some market share.
