Revision history [back]

Hi there, This is mostly a rant, I'm not sure what tag this should be under. Just got around to flashing sailfish x on my xperia x yesterday. A bit of background, i'm your average windows and android user with minimal programming knowledge - i've just started to learn how to create android and ios apps using flutter - a framework based on the dart prpgramming language and have some basic C++ experience.

The installation process itself was fairly easy. I've used a Jolla 1 phone in the past, had to abandon the OS due to some showstopping bugs and also because the phone itself had moderate specs (1 GB ram etc). On the Xperia X though, it was fast and buttery smooth.

The camera sucks bigtime, i took a selfie in near low-light conditions and it was bad to say the least. The OS gestures are great and intuitive. The native apps work just fine. I dont really care much for android apps, i own a oneplus 6 for just those needs. Wish there were more quality native Sailfish apps though. Does anyone know if there are great native music player apps or audiobook reader apps?

One concern though, the available storage space on my phone is only 15 GB. I have an external 64gb memory card, but it says exfat is unsupported, not sure how to format or convert to a supported format.

Also, regarding the state of native sailfish apps, i could always donate to good developers, but if i were to develop my own apps, what would i need to know? Can i code in python or leverage my knowledge of flutter?

Also regarding the native sailfish apps,

One concern though is storage space
