Hello to all, I'm new in this. I just flash in my first gen Moto E a Port of Sailfish 2.0, and sincerely love it. But the thing is it's impossible to install apps from Jolla Store, OpenRepos or apk. How can I install it? The ROM have developer mode activated, and have terminal emulator on it. I tried to install with pkcon command but I don't know what I'm doing it wrong. Somebody can help me? Thanks!

It's Sailfish 2.0.1.11

It's a "port" so no AlienDalvik layer > no Android .apk applications. That said you should be able to use the likes of "Warehouse" from "Openrepos" provided you enable "Untrusted software" in "Settings".

Apk without Aliendalvik? It's a user port.

Sadly don't work zypper, gives me a sign of critical error on the store and this:

Doesn't find the file 'repodata/respond.xml' in 'https://store-repository.jolla.com/releases/2.0.1.11/jolla-hw/adaptation-motorola-condor/armv7hl/?credentials=store'

Why do you want to ride a dead horse?

Some old user ports can not use stores. The Moto E does not seem to be able to. Maybe you can install apps via zypper from Jolla Store, or not.

Have a look at the comment of @aspergerguy above : you can't install and run Android apps

totally @4carlos I can't even install via zypper, I get:

a sign of critical error on the store and this:

Doesn't find the file 'repodata/respond.xml' in 'https://store-repository.jolla.com/releases/2.0.1.11/jolla-hw/adaptation-motorola-condor/armv7hl/?credentials=store'

Sadly because I did love everything

I can understand that well. I have 2 old phones from Sony with Sailfish 2.0 and 2.1. Both were nice projects, but never in daily use.
