Awakening after the crisis – J-D bulletin #fase3

We’re in mid-June and the time is ripe for a new bulletin!
Usually May and especially June are “hot” months for Sailfish OS, before the quiet summer. Furthermore, the Covid-19 epidemic seems to be ended and Europe is getting ready to start again.
In Italy we call that “Fase 3″…

Community porting / unofficial

Here is an update from Adam Pigg: in future will be easier for community porters to add the fingerprint sensor support. Really promising!

To all #sailfishos community porters. If you want to bring fingerprint support to your device, please try https://t.co/X9KeSfANED. See myself or rinigus for help/advice. Requires android 8+ base. PRs welcome, this a community project. @jollahq

The Redmi Note 7 porting by Danct 12 is going on, and a rebuilt release is coming soon!
J-D is directly looking at this porting: there is a Note 7 ready for this scope, and later some content will be crafted.

We're going to rebase our #SailfishOS for #RedmiNote7 tonight.

Hopefully I can release it tomorrow! Stay tuned.

A question about the TOHKBD:

(Let’s remind the funky and sleek design of the TOHKBD)

The Pine 64 corner

There are several interesting devices from Pine 64: now it’s the turn of the Pinetab, a 10 “tablet with a compatible keyboard, which could bring a Sailfish OS tablet to the west countries!

(If Sailfish OS can be flashed and works in Pinetime hardware. To be tested this summer)

The Hype grows…

I hope to see #Pinetab with #SailfishOS 🙏

Pine 64 finally answers! So the hardware will be available later on july.

You've waited long enough. The PineTab preorders are now open!

Something keeps moving about Pinetime: initial support for the JF Firmware is here.

#Amazfish 1.5.5 released on open repos for #SailfishOS and the #AmazfitBip and #AmazfitGTS. Fixes weather for the GTS and adds initial support for @thepine64 #Pinetime "JF" firmware from @codingfield https://t.co/ly7YF1rSxK

This means we can start preparing for selling the #PineTime as an end-user device soon. Incredible work. https://t.co/PPykyJEy9K
