Hardware Adaptation Development Kit

Fill your phone with Sailfish OS

GNU/Linux based Sailfish OS natively running on an Android phone you like? Yes, it can be achieved when following our HADK porting guide! The document takes you through:

• The hardware and software requirements
• Sets up the Sailfish OS Platform SDK and the supporting development environment
• Instructs on how to craft your phone’s hardware adaptation
• And finally builds the Sailfish OS ready-to-install image It also contains tips on “getting into” your phone during early stages, as it gradually becomes a glibc-driven Linux gadget

You’ll encounter challenges along the way, as every phone has numerous differences, but our #sailfishos-porters IRC community on oftc.net will be there to help. The following porter’s traits are desired:

• Linux Kernel and OS knowledge and development
• Fluency in Git, Github code-review process
• Android Platform SDK
• Observed IRC guidelines
• That immense desire to have Linux in your pocket!
