If you want to go back to your Ubuntu Touch, then shut the phone down and take the SD-card out. It's as easy as that. SailfishOS runs really well from the SD card already.
Things that don't work (so well):
- web browser(s): you will need to use/install Webcat or WebPirate, but the experience still sucks...
- modem/SIM-card: should be supported under the hood / via cli but not yet in the GUI
- sound: strange crackles after/while playing any sound. Also, the volume can't really be adjusted (?)
- automatic brightness (don't you dare switch that on, you'll regret it), same as very low manual brightness settings
- camera(s)
BUT:
- Double-tap to wake works (yay!!)
- You can install pretty much anything from OpenRepos without problems
- Thus, Depecher works very well for Telegram
- the UI feels snappy, doesn't lag and looks crisp (something I don't quite find for Ubuntu Touch)
Can you point me to a tutorial on how to use the OpenRepos? I attempted to install Librespot and after a reboot it still did not show up in my app drawer. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or I just don't know what I'm doing with the OpenRepos.
