Sailfish OS Will be Seen on Android Devices Soonish, Said Hakulinen
The very first post of mine on JollaTides.
Let’s celebrate it with the thousandth hint/confirmation of Jolla’s very own Sailfish OS being ported to Android devices.
Last year Before the device gets released we saw a photo that confirmed Sailfish running on a nexus 7 tablet.

This year after the device got released we have had a sneak peek from Antii Saarnio on twitter about the same matter:
Look what I got and what might there be running? Thanks @HarriHakulinen @stskeeps @lbt_ and @faenil #Christmas #Jolla pic.twitter.com/z0lMrrZUqQ

And a few weeks after that we saw Sailfish OS being ported by a user to Google Nexus 4
What else we wanted other than these proves and all of these confirmations and the official confirmation from Jolla that Sailfish is Android Hardware compatible?
Well despiteful of all these proves, today we happened to see a very interesting 1000th tweet from Jolla’s chief engineer, Harri Hakulinen which was:
Maybe not wise to exchange your old Samsung to new Lumia, because you may get Sailfish OS to it soonish. My #1000 tweet ;)

So is it a hint that we will get the full hands on the Android-Hardware-adopted Sailfish OS straight from Jolla guys?
As Always, the only way is to wait!
Let’s see how will it go.
At the end, a Little bit about myself and JollaUsers :
The fact that I am writing here at JollaTides does not mean that I left JollaUsers, and JU is still my very own baby that I raised. I am all up for Jolla, so why not Writing for other Jolla related websites?
This is just too bad for the people who happened to not like my Writing style… Well, sorry folks! Good news for you is that I’m only a part-time editor at JollaTides! Thank you for toleration :D

Welcme to Jollatides… Heheh
Welcome to the team James and congrats on your 1st post with JollaTides! :-)
I must say I’m very excited to see which android devices Jolla decide to target first – those handsets will get a much needed improvement when Sailfish arrives to them. :P
Thanks mate!
Yeah they really will get improved indeed! Hope to see the results soon :)

Its just weird that James is writing for jollatides. BTW will you fuse jollatides with jollausers?
On topic:
Interesting! I would love to install SailfishOS on my Nexus 7 (2013).
Well it’s not weird! We are not competitors we are friend blogs! So why not contributing for each other?
I don’t think there will be any fuse though.
I would install Sailfish on any Android device I witness :D
“Sailfish OS Will be Seen on Android Devices Soonish, Said Hakulinen ”
They probably mean “Nexus” Android Devices. Not to mention how would they cope with the locked bootloaders on Sony’s, HTC’s and Samsung’s?
Isn’t it more important to get the OS to full feature-functionality on the Jolla phones instead of this?
Look I’m all for diversity and welcome jolla’s efforts to get it run on as many devices as possible but IMHO they are targetting the wrong kind of devices. They should aim for the Lumia’s and Symbians and indeed the N9. Android devices already have their “linux” based OS with more then enough functionality, I doubt that running Sailfish on them will actually add anything significant especially the high-end Nexus devices which are only accounted to a limited group of users. Unless the motivation here is to show off!
I’d rather have a native sailfish automatic call-recorder, PC syncing, DLNA/Miracast, rotation lock in browser (or systemwide adjustable), Wifi-direct-transfer and other small and big things getting resolved.
I think it would be much better to convince meego/harmattan users to switch to Sailfish/or Jolla phone and port the entire harmattan software library to sailfish OS.
priorities.
I sometimes think that the people at Jolla are trying to do too much at once. This usually doesn’t end very well.
Wondering, will Jolla sneak in QWERTY support via an Android device?
