I think you installed Sailfish on Android 11. You need to downgrade your Android version to 10 before installing Sailfish.
Is it possible to bind an Xperia 10 II license to xperia 1 and 5?
No.

Thanks for your work. Are updates to this port pending?

Your license works with Xperia 1, if so, then I think to buy it too.

Hello.
Vibration on my Xperia 5 when using Sailfish OS has the same short period in all cases. Including for an incoming call. Vibration duration is not adjustable. Everything works fine on Android.
Works fine on Xperia XZ2. Vibration duration is adjustable.
Please check on your Xperia 1 and 5.
The bug is likely a caused by the ngfd ffmless custom support not working correctly. The Xperia XZ2 uses a completely different vibration mechanism, comparing both doesn’t make sense as they don’t share the same mechanism.
You can’t adjust vibration duration besides editing the supplied configuration file, if you want to improve feel free to create a PR.
The issue is the same on both devices, there’s no difference between them in that regard.
The vibration stopping after a short time during a call is likely a separate issue that can’t be fixed by tuning the configuration.
Please talk about bugs on Github, this is the wrong place to talk about bugs.
@Thaodan, do you think the port base could be bumped to Android 11?
My bahamut ran on A11 base for many months without any issues and was wondering how hard would it be to either jump ship or have a separate build/branch: it seems that every partition must be flashed on A11 firmware except the modem partition (which must be on 10).
Improvements wise, other than better security (newer blobs, newer CAF code) and maybe better performance (e.g. due to properly configured CPU arch), there does not seem to be anything groundbreakingly new.
There’s already some code available for example here, here or here, making this doable in a fairly short amount of time.
P.S. I also test kernel upgrades for LA.UM.7.1.r1 on 11 only.

I think so, first I would like to implement a mechanism to upgrade the device by also flashing odm
or at least to check odm while boot and then query the user to flash.
Currently I’m busy writing an check daemon so that community ports can
Can you research/document why this workaround is needed? Asking Sony for advice sounds like a good idea in this case.

Yes, I fixed it some months ago: see here. In the linked issue, Sony (or, well, Alin) says they only tested A10 against their binaries, but that had nothing to do with it.
Therefore, A11 can be flashed now without any workarounds.

I’m considering the xperia 5 as my next phone instead of a xperia 10 because of it’s value (it seems to give better features per cost) and I wonder if there’s anything important I should be aware of? So long it seems that most important functionality works including voice, data and wifi… is anything I should be warned of before I buy it? I don’t care about android compatibility, I only use native apps.
There’s all the limitations of a community port instead of official Sailfish X on the Xperia 5; so no volte, no app support (which you said doesn’t matter), no xt9 spelling/prediction, no MS office365 something-something (that I can’t get to work with my provider anyway).
I’m fine with all of that, I currently own a phone which is not officially supported, so I guess xperia 5 would be a good choice, thanks.
Hi guys, I’m want to buy Xperia 5 III or IV. Does this port work for these generations? Or it works only with first Xperia 5 generation?
