I can run in on my desktop because its awesome. Basically to run nemo you just need either mainline linux or some people ran it on majaro on libhybris but you need new enough kernel.
As to nothing working… well its two guys project so development is not fast, it’s very much hobby project.
My plan for it is to rework gui in its entirety and then add possibility of running sfos apps at which point i’m jumping the ship and never looking back. Thats why i made port for op6 cause it has good mainline support so you can install nemo on it any time you want.
Had a look at this NemoMobile homepage. It’s available for the fucking expensive PinePhone and for the old (but imho good) Volla. Saw also the list of not working features. Sorry, i think this isn’t usable for much.
It has insane potential thats what it is. From user pov its some useless garbage, from dev pov its opensource sfos with ability to do what sfos could never do. Because its now basically just DE, on mainline linux, you can run anything on it, or run it on anything. Also saying it only runs on those two phones is not correct, it just has images for them but like i said just get manjaro or opensuse (thanks to my and @TheKit’s efforts) and install glacier, its that simple (desktop also works as shown above)
It’s meant as a expression and not to imply gender, similar to “bro”, genderless
It’s a pity, that the opensource situation isn’t very good for mobile phones. One big reason is the hardware that uses closed binaries. But I am patient. The situation linux related wasnt very good in the early 2000s. Now it runs like a charm. We are the
I remember Jolla’s plans with SHH. My dream is a Jolla 2. The hardware concept of Jolla 1 with its removable back and replaceable battery was very advanced. I am sure that this would help getting support from the Horizon project. It could be future proof if such a phone was made again, perhaps not with plastic but with aluminium. A slider system? The size should be smaller than Jolla C2. (like Pixel 5). A reasonable camera and dito sound.
Basic functions should work from the start: wifi, mobile functions, video calling, GPS, browser, mail, radio. Jolla shop should be well maintained.
Updates have to be tested, bugs repaired before an official release.
All these demands justify a subscription model.
Jolla could hire a team temporarily, like Volla does. What is needed most of all: the right spirit and the will to coöperate with others.
This ‘normie’ wants to get rid of text prediction on her XA2 plus with Sailfish. It works badly and causes a lot of typos. This predictive text function is a ‘pain in in the ass’. Costs me a lot of time to correct. Someone in the forum gave a patch, but that didn’t work. If you can give me a clue how to remove it, you are a hero.
Oh, shit!, my bad, I see I misunderstood, as usual. Of course, you’re correct, one replaces the other, uninstalling does not remove the dictionary in its entirety.
Pretty sure I’ve succeeded in hiding the predictive text row in the past. Either here on FSO or possibly on the original forum, TJC. I’ll have a search.
I’ll also have a fiddle about on my Xperia 10II. I’ll assume that the same should apply to XA2+
I would like you share this with you , Board Members included. Bert Hubert is a wise IT specialist. He has a good record. You can search on his website berthub.eu.
This post is serious about future alternatives for Big Tech. It’s also realistic. His words can also prevent future frustrations and disappointments. Recommended!
@Edz Thanks.
Before I had already two times tried this patch, to no result. I just tried it again. Got ‘auth failed’ after writing down the password that’s mentioned in dev mode on my device. What did I wrong?
The J1 wasn’t a good phone in many ways. And certainly the other half didn’t offer anything IMO at least. Kind of a useless gimmick.
But anyway it served its purpose of launching the company.
The fact remains that we need HW. Light phone does it, fairphone does it, jolla needs to do it also. And it also needs to not fuck it up again. You can fix SW but not crappy HW. We need something that will be designed with SFOS in mind. If people want to run other OSs on it fine also. Their problem.
You are right, Jolla 1wasn’t high quality. Sound was weak, I couldn’t hear calls when outside in the city. Camera was bad indoors, etc. GPS with Here worked! What I meant was the concept; the possibility to open it, to replace the battery. Fairphone does this too but better and the specs are higher quality. Only the use of recycled plastic is nonsense and Fairphone too depends on the demands of 5G and VoLTE by telecom, just like the others. They skipped a cardslot and let you buy new bt in-ears.
I recall it was a parallel project that sprang up from the ashes of Nokia’s maemo, but what purpose has it served in the many years since Jolla started releasing commercially supported and properly functional mobile phones?
