Mobile Tablet diy Phone raspberry pi 2

This project was created on 10/20/2015 and last updated a year ago.

Description

https://sailpi.wordpress.com/

This is a project that brings the software flexibility of SailfishOS and Nemo Mobile to the incredible hardware potential of Raspberry Pi 2. We currently are a team of 2, but we'd like people to join and build their own tablet/phone/whatever based on it :). Primarily this has been a software project but as Raspberry Pi 2 has quite a lot of potential, its interesting to see what people come up with these operating systems.

SailfishOS has taken the spotlight but I plan to kickstart a true FOSS tablet based on Nemo Mobile some time soon, as the first software bits were done on Nemo Mobile to see if it was possible.

    As if the blog feature wasn't enough, I saw the case adafruits people made yesterday. I left a comment on that video and what do you know, adafruit blog feature happened :)

    And the case making video here:

    And finally, the guide on making one yourself:

    This is quite powerful, but it needs a bit of redesigning to work on my setup. I have already tasked the local Kuopio Hacklab 3D printing experts, going by their business named as 3DJampat.

    Eagerly waiting for the results of their print and will more than happily support a local business :) !

Hey, is there any way to get Sailfish 2.0 running on this? Also, what's the best way to get audio out on this device? I tried simply plugging headphones into the 3.5mm jack, but just got feedback, so I'm curious as to what you'd think would be a good way to add that functionality.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Hi superstuff77! Its possible to at least get HDMI sound coming through, use this: https://sailpi.wordpress.com/tweaks/hdmi-sound-through-pulseaudio/

You should get composite audio through when you change the hardware address, hopefully..
