Some initial feedback:
- Got a used xperia 10 v, had some fastbook challanges, but eventually unlocked the bootloader and flashed SFOS.
- Flashed on top of Android 15 (couldn’t be asked to deal with Emma, at least at this point) and v3a binaries as per instructions
- Mobile things (phone, SMS, data) seem to be working OK
- Upgrade from 4.6 to 5 OTA worked well
- Android seems to be working fine as well
- Phone feels more performant than the xperia 10 iii, but then again this is a vanilla install
- It does take a massive amount of time to boot though, reminds me of the xperia 10
- SD card works (and encrypted!), contrary to somebody’s post somewhere here*
- GPS location works surprisingly well!
- Bluetooth headphones pair and work well
- Playing youtube videos on Browser doesn’t quite work (plays first second, then stops, refuses to go full screen and whatnot). Firefox works (ish), it kept asking for permission to send notifications (why?!) until I silenced that.
Not tested:
- Pure Maps (due to the one on the Jolla Store crashing miserably)
- All The Nice Things that I use on my xperia 10 iii (like sudo and all that
)
Of course it doesn’t work yet:
- Fingerprint reader
- Camera (struggling to find that post that explains how the community can help*)
- Call recording option
* It might be an idea to summarise the instructions to install SFOS on this device and its general status, as there are tons of contradicting bits information out there, not to mention links that are incorrect (e.g., the SFOS 5 images to flash don’t include one for this device)
