Beginner Resource Collection

Get Started
#1

Let’s use this topic to collect some resources a beginner might find useful.

Keep this user-centric, there’s other categories for development and other discussions.

This is a wiki, so if you, dear reader, have something to add or edit, go ahead (you will need a certain forum trust level though)!

Official Jolla Resources

Official User Guides

Community Resources

Third Party Resources

Technical Resources/Guides

App Stores / Repositories Guides
(enlisted here or in a separated thread ?)

@nephros As a resource for your collection you can also have a look at this list: https://github.com/molan-git/awesome-sailfishos/blob/social_media/README.md
It’s a copy of this original collection which you find here https://github.com/sailfishos-community/awesome-sailfishos, but I added more links and removed some invalid ones.

Thank you, I’ll add that!

Wow, that’s all work already done, I’m tempted to simply copy and paste the markdown here :wink:

Thank you @nephros for this collection.

Note that I removed the additional link to the old, outdated SD-Card How-To, because the newer SD-Card Guide (still linked to, here) references it (in case somebody is still on SFOS < 3.0.0 :hushed:).

@vige: How about pinning this topic to the top of the Get Started category?

Sounds like a good idea to me. Actually I was already thinking about it myself :slight_smile:
Done.

Hello…

If I buy a unused Sailfish with a license can I get the license over to my account? I wanna try it out to see if it is something and found a seller for it. Or can I just use his account or how does it work. If I have the bought flash image do I need anything else to update or what not?

By the way, might be a good option to make possible for Bank transfer for the future as there are a good amount of us who do not have access to Digital payment anymore rejecting the new digital insane tyrannic madness.

Why don’t you just use free license?

#15

The seller of the phone should give you the credentials of the Jolla account with the phone and you can use it including Android support and updates, if it is a paid licence. You can change password and personal info later in the account settings. This ist only in case if it’s a paid licence with Android support.

If it is a free licence without Android support, just make a new free licence and enter your cred’s into the Jolla account settings of the phone. No re-installation required, it will still work with a new account.
