I don't buy that at all. That is an awesome program that I did not know about. However, they also support Gemini PDA, which is only one of Planet computers devices. And Pixels are well-known to be the among easiest to flash devices out there, and there is no shortage of third party ROMs available for them. From what I read on the SF forums, it's a sort of google boycott despite the fact that flashing a rom gets rid of the google in a pixel.

Further, look at the list of devices they work on - not at all a list of phones easier to flash than a pixel.

There seems to be a lot of politics in their forums (and their past funding), something that does not interest me in an OS project.
- mariusor 4y agoI was offering you the reason why there is no "official" support for Google Pixels, not why there aren't community ports. :)
- sgc 4y agoRight, but I offered you a counter-example in the Gemini PDA, and an indication that there was generally no effort - or positive resistance - to deal with anything google related at all.
- mariusor 4y agoI remember Gemini and Jolla had a mutual agreement[1] to put Sailfish OS on the device. [1] Started from here: https://twitter.com/JollaHQ/status/1100036246754213894 https://twitter.com/JollaHQ/status/1100036246754213894
