Announcing Sailfish for the HTC Desire HD

What is Sailfish?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sailfish_OS

This should be thought of as a development experiment. It may be useful if you are a developer and want to write/port apps the the Sailfish operating system. It is not an end-user product, however, if you wish to experiment and try something different then feel free!

Special Thanks

Installation
Make sure you have an up-to-date recovery. I used 4ext touch. Philz recovery doesnt have the required tar command.
Format/wipe etc
Install the latest CM10.1 and make sure it works
Copy the .zip to the SDCard and install it. The installation script take a little time.

First Run
On first run you are presented with a language selection. After this is completed the system may hang. Reboot (remove the battery) and boot again. This time you should be presented with the first-run wizard. Complete as much as possible, but dont try and create a Jolla account as there wont be a network connection (unless you have inserted a sim and by chance it works, I havnt tested that). To get out of the wizard, scroll down because the 'skip' link is off the bottom of the screen.

Bugs
Lots
Several major graphical bugs, such as the keyboard struggling to show and corruption in the windows of minimized apps. This is probably down the the kernel hack I made to get apps to load.
