Sailfish OS (also styled as SailfishOS or abbreviated to SFOS) is a mobile operating system combining the Linux kernel for a particular hardware platform use, the open-source Mer core middleware, a proprietary UI contributed by Jolla, and other third-party components.

It's a beautiful OS developed by the Jolla and the mer team. The UI is totally guesture based. So say good bye to your boring Android navigation bar. The OS is fast and butter smooth with zero lags. This is a totally new experience and certainly a delightful one from the same old boring mundane Android which has had almost the same UI since 5.0 .
Flashing Process:
Note: This has to be flashed over CyanogenMod 13. Also, this cannot be flashed in twrp 3.1. Please download twrp 3.0 from the downloads tab.
1. Download CyanogenMod 13: CM13
2. Download Sailfish OS 2.1: SFOS 2.1.3.5
3. Wipe cache, dalvik cache system and data. Copy the two ROMs to your phone.
3.1. If you are updating, just wipe data, cache and dalvik-cache. No need to wipe system.
Remember to backup android side apps if you were using them on android. If you do not want to take backups all the time you
update, run this command in the twrp terminal carefully without quotes "rm -rf /data/.stowaways/sailfishos" clear just cache
and dalvik cache then run that command.
4. Flash CM 13 first, then Sailfish 2.1
5. Wait. No BootAnimation. But boot up is fast.

Trick to use android apps
Not very convenient but you can use android apps. You have to restart everytime you want to use android. I will be providing two more images available in the Downloads tab (boot.img and hybris-boot.img).
When ever you want to use android, just flash boot.img via recovery. Similarily, flashing hybris-boot.img will take you back to sailfishOS. A little inconvinient, but until i try to get sfdroid support, this is the best catch.
So flash like this:
CM13
Gapps 6.0 (ARM64) ----- (This so that you will have GPlay functionality when you go to android).
SFOS
Please Note: (Indian Users) VoLTE is not available. So You cannot use JIO for calling.
Enjoy :)
