  • I was thinking there were community sailfish versions, but I’ll admit I didn’t search too thoroughly as I was rabbit-holing the ram upgrade idea, since the nexus 5x was upgradable to 4GB.

    What I want in a phone is getting harder and harder to find, so I’ll risk a phone or 2 to get it done. Since newer phones tend to be $500 or so, that gives me a little wiggle room :D if it doesn’t work, hopefully I learn something along the way.


  • My current plan, since I enjoy projects… Buy a Sony XA2. Find new Ram chip, solder in more ram and possibly memory and see if I can get sailfish (thought there were community editions I could build from, but after reading your post… Maybe I’m wrong there) running effectively on it. If not, I’ll probably put LineageOS on it and run it like that. I’m more picky since I think the nexus 5x was perfect in size, feel, and weight… So, I’m always chasing that.
