I used to run it on my Xperia, and life was good. Then they announced a version for the Xperia 10 III, so I got hyped and bought the device. When the release came out, it lacks so many features and was riddled with bugs, so I never installed it. As of today (4.5.19), it seems the software still lacks basic features (ability to use the 3 cameras), and still has very annoying bugs (must use loidspeaker when in communication to prevent echo).

Am I misinformed ? Is anyone using it daily that could share their experience?

Thanks!

    I daily drived the original Jolla Phone. However since I realized that it was even more proprietary (the core apps + UI toolkit Silica is proprietary) than a simple AOSP Android ROM, I decided that my next phone would be a regular Android phone again.

    Now I’m dual-booting both postmarketOS and CalyxOS (which is an Android ROM) oh my SHIFT6mq and I have no reason to ever go back to SailfishOS, even though I liked the experience at the time.

      I suppose you dual boot them because postmarketOS isn’t usable as a daily driver right ?

      I liked Sailfish UI a lot, and the fact it was a “standard” Linux with coreutils, git, rsync, etc… by default was the main reason I switched to it. But yeah, I’ve been quite deceived by their recent “updates”. I now have an Xperia 10 III, but there doesn’t seem to be much custom ROMs that support it unfortunately (which is also why sailfish support isn’t great anyway).

        For some people it’s definitely usable as a daily driver but not for me yet. I for one require some Android apps and Waydroid isn’t far enough yet, but I also need good suspend/battery saving which isn’t there yet on this particular device.
