New Jolla Phone owner seeks advice

Also where would you take from or put all this data

Open question: is there any way to organise the app list alphabetically? As I install more and more stuff it’s starts getting untidy. May be an option somewhere but I really can’t see it. C2 with SailfishOS 5

If you tap and hold 3 seconds you can rearrange them manually. You can also group them into folders.

Thanks! Absolute newbie here, I’m used to automatic arrange alphabetically and forget about it :slightly_smiling_face:

It could still be a useful feature, some other people have requested it before, e.g.:

Please take a look at “Quick Launch” by Jaume Singla, when the first non-beta release of SailfishOS 5.0 has been published.

Unfortunately the SailfishOS:Chum community repository, which hosts this app is not easily accessible, until then. As a slightly tedious workaround on a Jolla C2 phone you may manually download this RPM file of the SailfishOS:Chum GUI application and install it, then enter 4.6.0.15 in its settings, which lets you search and install “Quick Launch” (and all other software in the SailfishOS:Chum community repository) easily.

It’s easy to make a dropbox or onedrive account, but how can I easy see and retrieve the content?

And another question - is it possible to get rid of the delete message bar - “press to change your mind/cancel delete” and get immediate delete?

I don’t know how to get rid of it completely but you can usually just swipe the bar away to speed up the deletion process.

Had forgotten that, thank you! However, would be nice to be able to get rid of it…

I have Storeman installed to my C2. But I don’t understand, how I can install apps from there. There is no “Install” option in pulldown-menu. Or I have totally wrong understanding about it…

Before you can install something, you have to add the package source

Well, you have to add repository.

Not possible. At least yet.

Is there a way to import old SMS’s from Android to C2?

In short, yes.

Export your android SMSs to xml file and next Transformations XLS will insert SMSs to json file that have structure proper for sailfish. Last, commhistory-tool will insert SMS to sqlite database which stores messages in phone running under sailfish OS. Don’t have to know sql and db schemas:)

I’m getting error, that xsltproc not found. Should xsltproc be part on OS or I should install it from somewhere?

Check this playlist it’s aimed to the newcomers:

The easiest way is using your xperia. To get xsltproc run:

pkcon install libxslt -y
