Sailfish OS 2.0.2 is named 'Aurajoki', the river going through Turku, a beautiful Finnish city. To gain some momentum, we have decided to switch our release codenames from lakes to rivers!

This release continues to improve the Sailfish OS 2.0 experience. Storage settings allow users to format, and safely eject memory cards. It also provides access to the files on the device and on memory cards. Cloud support continues to evolve with a support of VK and with backup support for OneDrive and DropBox. With release 2.0.2 Sailfish OS adds support for Intex Aqua Fish and Jolla C devices. New hardware features of the devices, like FM radio and Dual SIM are now supported.

This release brings a lot of improved features and fixes. Thank you for the feedback and making yet another big upgrade possible!

This is the usual drill before attempting to upgrade your devices,

If you use Phonehook from OpenRepos, uninstall it before upgrading.

If you use Patchmanager, revert all applied patches before upgrading.

Take a backup of your data before attempting to upgrade your device. A successful backup operation is indicated by a green dot in the UI.

Do not reboot the device while the update is in progress.

The device screen may blank out during the update process, you may waken the display by a short press on the power key to monitor the progress.

Do keep the phone connected to a battery charger during the whole process.
