They make it. We make it yours.

This is an open group for people, that wish to get more informations about SailfishOS, supported devices, and the SDK.
We also take requests to get YOUR Device supported.




>> Sailfish-native apps;

Android apps using built in Sailfish OS compatibility layer the Alien Dalvik from Myriad Group;
MeeGo-native apps if its user's interface is usable under Sailfish interface;
in general all Linux apps compiled for Sailfish device or binaries with RPM storage standard, also in console mode or as a non-graphic terminal.

All Android software available from the Jolla "harbour" store were tested with a real Jolla device. Android or MeeGo or Linux software can be downloaded from any 3rd party e.g. Google store or any other source, due to Sailfish OS openness policy. From launch, this has given the devices access to a large number of applications, which was estimated above 0.5M unique software pieces at the time of the device launch.

Because Sailfish is Linux and use Qt and Sailfish SDK is in Qt, it is possible to port applications without significant effort, including the following sources:

>> Qt
(ported from other Qt-supported operating systems such as Symbian, Maemo, MeeGo, Windows and other projects with Qt source code)

>> MeeGo
(because Sailfish has inherited much of the MeeGo work using the MER core)

>> Unix and Linux
(usually command-line applications or other UI limitations are possible, RPM makes downloading easier)

>> HTML5
(using the installed Mozilla-based browser or directly the OS implementation of HTML5)

>> Android
(either porting to be a Sailfish-native app or with corrections needed for UI)

For easy porting and development the Sailfish SDK emulates the whole device, the OS and its behaviour using isolated virtual machine on host computer e.g. Windows or Mac or Linux. As it is fully emulated, not simulated, and Jolla strongly declares it is possible to test behaviour like with real device when using Jolla SDK developer's environment. So it is possible to develop and test software without using a Jolla device.

We are unlike.
