piggz who is amateur programmer (but very good) put together the package.
He apparenty hacked the pinephone pro image which uses an older different Rockchip processor 3399
Latest version used a different kernel which got the internel modem to work so networking is easier

Sailfish OS

Almost all the shares from the Finns were bought by a Russian telecommunications company. Now we have a Sailfish called Aurora And just today, one big female official said that the operating system is secure and reliable... but it is still problematic to use it, we need to refine it (shit)

I thought it was Austrian or German company like Ubuntu Touch but it's Finnish.
Aurora OS has quite a history

Aurora OS or Russian Open mobile platform (OMP) is a Russian Linux-based smartphone operating system derived from Sailfish OS. Aurora OS is owned by Rostelecom and is developed for business and governmental use. The operating system was branched from Sailfish OS into its own version in 2019.

In 2016, Jolla started a development project whose goal was to localize the Sailfish platform in Russia. For this, its own company was founded and the Russian-language version was called Sailfish Mobile OS RUS.[1] The first users of the platform were the Russian Post. In 2018, the Russian state applied for a secure mobile phone operating system for official use. Sailfish Mobile OS RUS was chosen and Rostelecom was the company that developed it. In 2019, the platform was renamed Aurora OS.[2] In 2021, Jolla announced that they had left the project and was no longer developing it.[3] In November 2021, according to Nokiamob.net, there would be around 400,000 devices using it.[4]

However, in 2022 Vedomosti reported that sales of the latest model Scale Trustphone T1 to consumers were minimal.[5] Also, because of sanctions set by the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the ability to produce the hardware needed for the newer models is limited. Development of Trustphone T2 with domestic ARM processor Scythian by SPC Elvis was halted because sanctions and overheating problems.[6][7]
