OnePlus One Seen To Run Sailfish OS

Martin Brook of Jolla did put up a rather interesting photo on Twitter, one of the more popular social media outlets used by millions of people worldwide – where it happens to be a shot of the OnePlus One. While this is certainly a smartphone that does offer plenty of good value for your hard earned money, it is not all that rare like a Black Lotus card, but what makes this particular shot of the OnePlus One so special is the fact that it looks as though the smartphone is running on Sailfish OS, as you can see on the right. If that were to be the case, then you can say that this is an achievement which would place the OnePlus One among the very few devices out there that can run on the operating system – apart from Jolla’s own offerings, of course.

Just how was this achieved? Through the use of Sailfish OS’s Hardware Adaptation Kit, of course, where this very same process was made use of in order to obtain the code that runs on the Nexus 4, 5 and 7, not to mention the Samsung Galaxy S3 and S4. The OnePlus One has already picked up quite the reputation among developers to be a highly loved handset, especially since it is very open to run on custom software.
