Revision history [back]

I guess the future candidates for SFOS, i.e. open devices that can be flashed with Sailfish X, will all be running Android 10 with kernel 4.14 out of the box. Therefore none of the current SFOS images will suit these devices.

This makes me wonder about activities in the community and @ Jolla whether there is an Android 10 based image in the pipeline.

I know that this question is somehow related to other questions like this one or this recent one

And I know that is hard for Jolla (the small boat) to keep pace with Android (i.e. Google, the giant cruiser). But then again there are great ports for Sony tama devices (XZ2, XZ2 compact and XZ3) that would be worthwhile to be adopted by Jolla. Even if these ports benefit from Jolla's work for the Xperia 10 (and thus require Android 9, not Android 10) i get the impression that support for Android 10 devices should be doable.

As Jolla indicated, Xperia 10 II would be a candidate. But this phone is not among the open devices yet. OTOH, Xperia 5 and Xperia 1 are Android 10/Kernel 4.14 (only) devices that already are in the open devices program. Are there problems with AOSP for these devices?

Even better: could there be a Android 10 based port for the XZ2 compact? It would be a great compact device that could overcome some problems with kernel 4.9 (rinigus please correct me - and please apologize if this is complete nonsense)

So please Sailors, give us a tiny hint about your course towards new hardware support (+ a new browser ;-))
