I can see the isos, that I stored on the sdcard with ext4. But nothing happens when hitting one.

Are you sure the selected file is a hybrid-type ISO?

One is the Debian Buster Netinst image, the other the Debian XFCE Live image. Both downloaded from the official Debian mirrors.

Try ejecting through the pulley menu and selecting the ISO again. Additionally, make sure the phone is in charge-only mode.
You could also try the unofficial version but he/she has not released the source changes yet, effectively breaking the GPL license agreement.

Does not work anymore, it does not detect any iso, while older (unofficial) version still works...

Please try to reset the media database using Sailfish Utilities (available in the Jolla Store, accessible through the settings app).

unfortunately now my laptop doesn't seem to support booting from it, even grub bootloader doesn't recognise it, because from grub i thought i could tell grub to boot from the phone... have you got any idea? in my os it shows up as a drive and i can read the content of the iso

i decided to use the sdk now and i found out that on oneplus x the path /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun/file should be /sys/devices/virtual/android_usb/android0/f_mass_storage/lun0/file because there is no lun folder, actually there is also a lun1 folder, but i tried with lun0 and compiled and now it works :)

You are right, however there is no easy way to "hybridize" such ISOs without remastering. My idea is to replace first 512 bytes "on-the-fly" for such images. By the way, today I installed Debian 9.4.0 using ISODrive - worked like a charm

Windows 10 iso support would be nice. I have to install it for a friend, however my Sailfish X is not bootable :( Looks like it's time to look for my old USB stick...

The problem you're experiencing is caused by Windows 10 ISOs not being shipped as hybrid ISOs. Consult Microsoft or use Google-fu to solve your problem.

is it possible to compile it on the device? i tried with gcc -lstdc++ -std=c++0x -I/usr/include/qt5/ -I/usr/include/qt5/QtCore/ ISODrive.cpp but that was as far as I got

Theoretically possible, though not recommended. Also you were missing a lot of other include paths in that command (in addition to other qmake shenanigans).

on a oneplus x it isn't working. as far as i remember first mount the iso and this part isn't working, the dot doesn't turn white and then plug it in

can you add the features that the app search for an ISO on the memory card or specify a target directory?

I'd actually like to get Tracker to find the ISOs so both internal and external memory are covered.

I will release a new version with those changes after I changed some implementation details, fixing the requirement of selecting "Charging only" when plugging in the process.

Seems like a very useful app. Is there a way to run it on SFOS 2.1?

you probably want to add some quick instruction in the UI since the UI looks quite blank (a reminder to switch USB mode, and where to save the iso files).
is there a way to specify other folder (or better, make use of tracker?) other than Downloads?
