[ASK] Sailfish OS for Android One Devices - General Questions and Answers

I've saw Sailfish OS ported to many devices, even older one like Xperia series.
I'm curious if any Developers here have project for Android One, especially the 1st generation.
My questions:
1. Is there any Sailfish OS rom for Android One? in now or near future (is there any related links)
2. Can i flash the Sailfish OS from other images, like for Redmi 1, would it work?
3. If I only want to try this OS, which device you guys recommend me to buy, just for flash the image and get experience?
4. from 1 to 11. How hard it is to port Sailfish OS till get it to work?
(im just common people with no developing and scripting skillz)
Thank you so much if you guys reading this.

I think he doesn't mean that dual booting. I think he means dualbooting between different ROMs. Like for my S3 I got Dual booting with Siyah Kernel between CM10.1 and 4.1.2 Touchwiz. For S3 you have much kernels supporting dual boot. So you just need to find the right kernel for your device. I think there are much devices having these kernels!
To tell the truth, I was not sure if it is what @siddheshvartak was looking for.
So dual-boot/multiboot only Android:
- some Xperias have a multiboot: LINK to thread
- Lenovo A390 and few other Lenovo smartphones
- Nexus 4, 5, 7 (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tassadar.multirommgr)
That's all I know about it.
I'm sure there is much more multiboot/dualboot equipped smartphones.
yehhh
I was talking about dual boot between the ROMs.....

Getting into rom development?

Hello everyone, I'd like to ask the following question(s).
Background: I've got experience in programming Java, C#, Python and I've messed around other programming languages before.
I'd like to get into the entire ROM building / compiling / 'cooking' scene but I am clueless as where I could start. I've a Zuk Z2(plus) with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP 3.1.0-3 installed.
Rom: AOSPExtended V4.4
Kernel: DarkMoon Experimental 178
Mod(s): shox_Audio_Mod V1.4
Gapps: Opengapps micro
Root: Magisk V13.2
I've been testing lots of roms recently, and now I am getting interested in (as mentioned above) compiling my own roms and maybe even port a rom myself? I'd start out with testing on my Zuk Z2(plus) since I can recover this device from any kind of software-brick. The main reason I'd like to mess around in this scene is because I've got an older tablet laying around with a MTK SOC, but with android 4.4.4 and I'd like to be able to update this
Tablet I'd like to upgrade (eventually): Cube T9 (currently only supports android 4.4.4)
I'd like to create a ROM based on one of these tablets: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/BOBARRY-10-inch-screen-for-T109-only-a-screen/32801822243.html
It might be completely fake hardware specs, I only hope that the SOC and the android version are correct (Maybe someone can confirm this for me)?
It's the only other tablet I've found running the MT8752 SOC and an android version higher then 4.x.x.
Any idea's tips or places where I could start best? I am open to all suggestions so please comment below

Can all GSI ROMs be flashed on Android 8.0?

Hi guys.
I'm just wondering whether all GSI ROMs can run on Android 8.0 or if there are GSI's that run only on Android 8.1 and up.
As one who lives in an area where the internet speed is so fast ,
and where bandwidth is a thing,
I would really appreciate it if someone would tell me whether some GSI ROMs work only with higher Android versions.
Currently I'm using Lenovo S5 with Android 8.0. It has ZUI 3.7 which is pretty nice that I have to resort to custom ROMs and my only hope is GSI's since there has been a low number of developers for this phone and I'm not one.
Hope this question gets answers. :fingers-crossed:

Dual Boot for android?
