What are your expectations of SailfishOS Xperia X port?
Mine are:
- Capability of using camera's full capacity.
- Alien Dalvik with Nougat.
- OS certified with Google Play.
- Capability of dual boot with Android.
We have moved to a new Sailfish OS Forum. Please start new discussions there.
Mine are:
Let's see:
I've already got an Xperia X lying around in it's box waiting for a SailfishOS ROM to put on it so I can't say that I'm not very enthusiastic about the prospect of it, but some of you people need to limit your expectations a bit. There's no reason for Jolla to add software features to the Xperia X port that aren't already in SailfishOS or about the be added to it anyway. We already know that it's just going to be a single ROM image that we're going to have to figure out how to put on the Jolla phone on our own so some official Jolla dual boot feature is already out of the question. The only way that's going to happen is if you find some ROM loading application that offers this as a feature.
" limit your expectations " ? wtf Since when did it become a milestone to have average shitty hardware ? What's the f-ing point of decent hardware and a decent camera if you're still going to get piss poor pictures? They need to pull their collective F - ing fingers out and stop pissing about, if they want to be an actual serious mobile OS they should fix stuff that's been broke since the start or wrap it up and call it a day, I'm sick of this shoddy service and the never ending promises, non wonder I'm using my windows phone more, at least they have native apps and the basics covered, and people have the cheek to call that shit lol !
davekelly ( 2017-07-20 00:31:38 +0300 )edit@davekelly The thing about cameras, specially high end ones, is that supporting them requires engineers with a LOT of very specialized knowledge and being a small company Jolla has never had many engineers with much of this specialized knowledge. A small company is always going to have limited developer resources so expecting one to be able to go toe to toe with much bigger companies who can afford to spend several times more money on developing essentially the same product is unrealistic to say the least.
Seriously, if you want all the neat little features and high end specs, then buy an iPhone or a Samsung Glaxy S and be done with it.

tvicol ( 2017-07-19 11:57:29 +0300 )editDon't expect too much, you won't get any of that (maybe 1. will come later though, according to James latest comment).
Sthocs ( 2017-07-19 12:18:27 +0300 )editI hope that currenlty available devices will also benefit from the OS improvements.
Hensch ( 2017-07-19 12:44:38 +0300 )editMy wishlist: - Task integration with MS Exchange - Improved stability - All points mentioned before...
xneo ( 2017-07-19 12:53:28 +0300 )editMy list is the same as @tvicol but Google certification won't happen. I'm happy with just aliendalvik, and if I can later install Google Services and get Play Storeup and chooching, it's a big plus, too!
