Oneplus 6(t) - THE port to get

I have op6t and op6 now cause i gotta test on both lmao

and i first bought op6t not knowing that op6 is superior

update about camera flash, on stock the flash looks A LOT like a workaround. Like a LOT LOT.

on lineage it doesn’t even work and what doesn’t work on lineage also won’t work on sfos sadly

so unless i debug lineage or update lineage i don’t see possibility of fixing it :confused:

goddamnit oneplus you fucked up ONE THING (still 1000000x better than xperias)

Too bad to hear. Sounds like a lot of work. As said, I don’t need the camera flash too often, so this is not that important for me personally. From the three bugs that I have pointed out, 4G sms would be on top of my list. Fingerprint is for convenience, kind of nice to have, but not utmost necessity. The overall experience of running sfos on op6 is already very pleasant.

funny how its always because of rude people like you

Honest review of using the OnePlus 6 with Sailfish 4.6

Recently I have been daily driving a Sailfish port started by community member Calebcf and currently maintained by Mister_Magister for the OnePlus 6/6t. Magister decided to pick up the port after some people showed interest in using the OnePlus 6 with Sailfish.

Right now the port works well, all basic features are working out of the box. SMS, calls, data, camera, video decoding. The only things that have failed the CSD tool tests is the status LED, only white is shown right now and 2G. In addition I am happy to report that the tri-state key for ambiance switching works without major issues on Sailfish. The only problem is that it’s reversed (up is down and down is up) but this has just been fixed.

As for performance I would put this in front of the Xperia 10 II. It’s the only other device I have had experience with. The Xperia 10 II crashes when attempting to navigate using PureMaps, the OnePlus 6 does not. I find that the experience is very smooth and reliable and I have no issues running many apps at the same time, browsing is much of the same very quick and reliable (thanks to Flypigs Gecko upgrade).

As for the future of this port, the device is using Android 9 blobs with plans to transition to Android 10 blobs sometime in the future. The reason for this is that the camera flash does not work correctly using the Android 9 blobs.

In conclusion, after daily driving the OnePlus 6 for a few days, I can say this is the best experience I have had with a Sailfish device thus far. Though there are some small issues, but they do not deter me from continuing to daily drive the device.

This sounds very interesting!
Had a look on the Oneplus homepage and at the technical specs, but couldn’t find anything about SD card!
Q: Does Oneplus support SD card? If yes, up to what size?

No, unfortunately it doesn’t support sd card

It sucks so much that most high-end current phones don’t have microsd. Everyone cries about lack of jack but nobody mentions lack of microsd :confused: Can’t help it, if it doesn’t work for you thats perfectly fine, you can’t please everybody :stuck_out_tongue:

Me thinks it’s a strategic design choice to make users dependent on the vendor’s cloud storage

@simosagi , yes, agree, exactly this. The whole smartphone business is permanent nudging, pressing and forcing the user to do something (use preinstalled services and settings) leaving less alternatives and freedom how to use the device to the users. Also main stream users (common Joe, Otto Normalverbraucher) are simply not interested to think one single thought about what this data monopoles may be and mean…

Probably this is the case these days. Companies are doing their best to make it harder to swap to different brand, or at least offering sweat features, if you stay at their ecosystem. But back in the days, when the manufacturers started to drop the memory card slot, I believe their original plan was to pressure customers with the fear of running out of space, to proactively buy the model with bigger internal memory for better profits.
