I really like sailfish but I can't find a good tutorial on how to root sailfish on my Xperia 10. Can someone here please share this if available?

You don't have to "root" SFOS; it already comes with devel-su which equals the root accouont.

Ok. Thank you. Because I want to install an adblocker/vpn but I can't get it done. I need to set local HTTP proxy mode somehow because some apps still show ads and vpn app can not be installed.

Seems you trying "to root" Android runtime inside Sailfish OS?

@coderus, That is possible. I could not care less for android support and of course recommend everyone to uninstall it and stick to proper Sailfish applications.

@juiceme same questions over and over again. "I bought Android phone to uninstall Android and install Sailfish OS to install Android to use Android apps with root privileges on it"
