Ça m'énerve !!! Hier sur #franceinter dans #letelephonesonne ça parlait de ce que pourraient faire la France et l'Europe pour contrer les droits de douane. Un moment sont évoqués les #gafam . Question vite évacuée : "On n'a pas d’alternative".
Mais si bordel on en a plein des alternatives : les distributions #linux et #bsd et plein d'autres pour remplacer Windows et Mac, #lineageos , #iodeOS , #murena , #sailfish pour remplacer android, et tous pleins de #logicielslibres pour le reste !!

Changed my mind. I decided to install Sailfish on the Sony Xperia 10 III.

It was plain sailing. 😃

I guess, things only become difficult when things go wrong, and things went very smoothly.

In brief, I unlocked the bootloader, and downloaded Android 12 from Sony. I flashed that to the Xperia (11 wasn't available). I performed all the usual 'phone stuff, which worked. I then flashed the 'phone with Sailfish using fastboot.

The same things are still working.

good feedback! i think #furiphone has support for #android apps (#waydroid iirc?) and back in the day so did #jolla / #sailfish - i think you can get those on a #sony these days

also i've run android-x86 in vm and its alright but idk what those apps are gonna try. supposedly only finance apps are allowed by google to check for a rooted phone but ... who knows peabee.substack.com/p/everyone

The best way to check if your current network provider (carrier) supports your 'phone/OS is to check for provisioning.

1. open your dialler
2. type *#*#4636#*#*
3. check the config options are enabled for:
VoLTE provisioned
WiFi calling provisioned

Unfortunately, a further recommendation is to use the Sony flashing tool, Emma, to downgrade the Android version. Emma only runs on Windows. I don't have a Windows PC. So, I will either need to borrow a Windows PC, or try it with Virtualbox/Qemu.

I suspect borrowing a Windows PC might be the easiest route.

A new epic adventure is about to begin. My quest is to have a privacy-respecting, and functional, mobile 'phone that can also make calls using VoLTE and WiFi calling. My travelling companion will be Sailfish OS. I'm not expecting it to be an easy journey.

My first step was getting a compatible 'phone. Here it is, my Sony Xperia 10 III. The Xperia is currently running Android 13. I'm going to revert it back to Android 11, as per the recommendation in the Sailfish docs.

One of the things I ordered yesterday was a @jolla C2 phone.
It has 4G (No 5G), you have to pay €4.99 for updates after the first year, and it has no NFC

It's a pure Linux (#Sailfish) device from within the #EU. I loved my #Nokia N900 and N9 despite the small app ecosystem but the #Jolla has an Android VM to run many Android apps

Some of us need to prove how well this stuff works to be get mass adoption of alternative open technologies not subject to #enshittification

Updated #Sailfish to 5.0 on my #Xperia 10ii. Seems to work and now microG also. However the #Jeep app still doesn’t log in. It doesn’t crash anymore but then just states login error after giving credentials. The network is a bit iffy so will need to investigate further. Also #AuroraStore got an update but after hitting update it closes down on start.

Actual native things so far work, but I haven’t yet done broader testing. Still a nice environment.

Sailfish (Aquatic Animals by Papo)

With alleged speeds of up to 68 mph the sailfish is said to be the fastest animal in the sea. However, recent studies suggest a maximum speed of only 34 mph. That’s still fast for an aquatic animal though, matching other ocean speedsters like the mako shark and killer whale. And with its tall, sail-like dorsal fin, it is one of the sea’s most visually distinct and impressive fishes. The […]
