Hello !
Is it possible to use Sailfish OS with only a keyboard and without the touchscreen ?
I have found a new phone which runs on Android 6 and without a touchscreen https://www.gsmarena.com/energizer_hardcase_h240s-8981.php . I was asking myself if it's possible to use it with Sailfish OS.
Thank you !
EDIT : I think this page answers to my question : possible with SF 3

In SaifishOS SDK you can use use SailfishOS running in VM without touchscreen.

SailfishOS will never work on this device.
First: Its Mediatek CPU Second: Its not a Smartphone, so cpu and ram are very low spec. third: SailfishOS is only usable via Touchscreen (Or remotely via SSH)
You can run SailfishOS only on this Devices atm:
out of curiosity; is there anything wrong with mediatek / any reason why sfos wouldnt potentially work ?
