The Other Half Returns — Community Innovation Program
forum.sailfishos.org
Hi there, As we approach selling total 5,000 units (🎉), we’re thrilled to announce Batch #3: The Other Half is coming back if we reach 10,000. Just like we defined the next gen Jolla Phone together with the community, we want to design the new The Other Half together with you. We’ll share what’s technically possible, you’ll vote on what to build, and together we’ll create something unique. What is The Other Half? The Other Half (TOH) is a swappable back cover that does more than protect ...

The Other Half (TOH) is a swappable back cover that does more than protect your phone — it transforms it. The original Jolla Phone (2013) pioneered this with open I2C interface and NFC-enabled covers that changed themes and behaviour just by snapping on

With the new Jolla Phone, we’re taking TOH even further — and we’ll open source the hardware and software interface specs so anyone can design, 3D-print, or produce their own modules. Primarily we plan that the new The Other Half interface would be based on I³C.

    Back in 2014 I had a Jolla phone with sailfish OS. It was cool, I was able to ssh into it and tinker with system and I wrote small QML apps for it.

    Sadly some asshole stolle it and probable had to throw it away, because who would buy such a phone?
