From the project emerged Mer, Jolla and Sailfish OS. Now I have been using Sailfish OS for the past couple of years and it works very well. I recommend having a look at it. They use the AOSP program from Sony, so at the moment Xperia X and XA2 are officially supported, however there are many community ports for other devices. Disadvantage is the eco system and the android emulator is not available to the community ports. The emulator costs 50€ and you can use perhaps 90% of the android apps. For XA2 the kernel is 4.9 AFAIR with Android 8.x emulator. I personally have looked at many other options to replace N9 may be 5y ago but this was the only one that makes sense to me. It is very transparent and open and has a large community. Some skills are required to flash and maintain, but well freedom is not something you get in the help desk. regards --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
