I'm trying to install the latest SailfishOS community edition on my Gemini. It apparently flashes OK, I can boot into SailfishOS, and it asks me a couple of questions to set up (lcoale, time/date, set a security code), and then I'm left with a black screen with the SailfishOS spinner. It's been sitting and spinning like this for at least half an hour so far.
I don't even know how to start diagnosing this one, or what I could have done differently that might make a difference.
Edit: I've found that holding Fn-Esc for a couple of seconds brings up the theme/off menu, so I can change the colour of the spinner, or stop it, but I can't seem to do anything else.
If you get the power off menu with Fn+ESC do a power off and power on the device with ESC (release when vibrates) and hold silver button pressed.

However, If you have problems with a small number of your mobile applications installs, then I recommend you the service with android buy installs for your app. I wrote it, because I have used this service many times and like it.
