Also, it would be nice if ‘harbour.jolla.com’ got fixed, so at the very least it can be used properly on any SFOS device, this has been broken for a long time and as usual, it seems that no one cares. The ‘burger’ menu pops open and closes instantly, it is not possible to select any menu option.
I reported this on TJC a long time ago, but still not fixed. It if were an APP I would dig in, but it isn’t so I cannot.
got error 404 on this link !
I first try to get apps from jolla store, than storeman and finally chum, in that order.
On chum or openrepos apps are more up to date, better first check there for the latest version.
Btw Jolla this problem is still out there i still can see webpirate under the best apps section, it would be nice if you would finally consider to address the problem.
Thx one of buying customers.
But, if installed from storeman or chum, then you have to be carefull with any SFOS update, there is always a list of apps that must be unistalled before SFOS update… if installed from jolla store, then you do not have this kind o problems … Am I wrong?
You are right in general. But often, necessary updates of apps to work on a new SFOS version are provided first on Storeman or chum and only later in Jolla Store.
So my quick and dirty way since a few update times is:
First backup all user data (photos, music,…) on external drive!
Make the OTA update and follow the instructions on the screen.
Check if new system works fine,
If yes - enjoy
If no - don’t invest more than 2 minutes, reflash, install latest versions of apps.
Unoffical repositories can case problems.
But jeah when you have one single “wrong” installed it can screw the update.
If you have luck sfos-upgrade may can fix this or as said the radical but unfortunately best way reflash everything und hope the backup worked. Not having problems like when they change from nemo to defaultuser…
This is always a question of what you have installed. If the app(s) in question have no dependencies, this will not be a problem. If they do, or install custom libraries that supersede ones from Jolla, it will be tricky.
I’ve never had to disable openrepos or chum. But I keep an eye on the dependencies.
