Current issues of that new port are listed at https://github.com/sailfishos-sony-t...el%3Ahybris-10 .

In addition, see https://github.com/sailfishos-flatpak/main/issues/21 - so Flatpak will not work in HW accelerated manner. Which. Is. Annoying.

In couple of days, I will try to switch my primary device to it and then can test it better.

Camera is better, but don't expect miracles. Flash is still not synced with the camera and according to Sony AOSP developers they just couldn't fix it. So, that will stay (aka - don't use flash).

Another aspect is the small selection of software with aarch64 / SFOS. But that will change in time, I guess.

Coming back to your question, first longer term vision: I would like to keep only one port. Not to have AOSP9 and AOSP10 to maintain. I would prefer to switch to AOSP10 to get better camera. Rather odd when you can't get a snapshot of something and have to ask someone else for it.

In short term, let's see what my test will reveal. 4.1. is not available at OBS yet and it will probably take weeks before it will. So, we have some time to think and discuss.

Note that new port => new flash
sorry - just a quick off-topic ... Do you have any insight into this - https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/stran...e-issue/6252/2 ?
