I created/maintain a handful of patches on both the Patchmanager Web Catalog [1] and as RPMs on Openrepos [2].

This thread is meant for discussions and support regarding my patches. Especially, please report issues you may have as I don’t always update to the newest SFOS versions. I recently updated my phone to SFOS 4.5 and am slowly working on bringing all my patches and apps up to date.

See the Patchmanager Web Catalog [1] for a list of all patches. Some of them are:

Source code is available on Github [3] and is released under GPL-3.0-or-later unless stated otherwise in the config file. All my patches are built using sailfish-patch [4], which I recommend to use if you want to modify/adapt/improve a patch.

If you like my work, you can buy me or other developers a coffee - don’t forget to post in the big coffee thread [5].

Thank you all, and I hope one of my patches can make your life a little bit easier :slight_smile: .

Many Thanks for your great work. I ask me if its possible to fork the patch topmenu-control from Ancelad. This patch had a collision withe the path shorter-topmenu and changed the same files. I miss itsince 2021. I try it but its to complex for me.

#3

That looks like quite a complicated patch that changes many unrelated things … What part of it are you missing most? Maybe I can split it into more manageable chunks and update only part of it.

I don’t suppose it has been working before/without my “shorter top menu” patch, right?

Thank you so much for keeping no carousel alive, my favourite patch ever! I can’t enable it though on X10 III on 4.5.0.19, while trying to install from the Patchnanager catalog.

The “no home carousel” patch will not activate on my 10III

#6

I confirm (even with all other patches deactivated).

#7

Good, not just me. No-home does not activate on 4.5 on volla.
but the ‘outdated’ 4.3 no-home patch does

#8

Well, that is unexpected. Are all of you using 64bit devices?

Can you check whether these files exist?

  • /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml
  • /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/private/DismissAnimation.qml
  • /usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/private/SwipeItem.qml

They are the ones that give errors in @JacekJagosz’s log above. They’re also part of the main difference between miau’s 4.3 patch and my 4.5 patch, because I fixed the “swipe to dismiss notifications” thing.

#9

All files are available and can also be found at these locations

#10

I gather it only fails on 64bit devices, right?

If you can run this command on your phone and send me the packages, I can check the patch against the correct files. (Otherwise I can only test it on an Xperia X, 32bit…)

Seems so, on my xa2 ultra it does work as expected

Thanks, that show us that we’re at least working with the same version numbers, except you’re on 64bit and I’m on 32bit.

Can you send me the actual RPM files too, maybe as a direct message?

PN doesnt work on Saifish Viewer ^^’

#15

Ah yes, it’s only possible to reply to DMs in the app, and you can’t add attachments. You can send the files via email (check your DMs).

I’m at a loss here. The files are identical, except binaries, of course. The only difference is lib vs. lib64, and the log only shows errors where Patchmanager fixed these paths (3 files). After rebuilding the patch with @Gorden’s packages, I get:

diff --git a/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml b/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml
index 4267c88..07cedfb 100644
--- a/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml
+++ b/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml

whereas @JacekJagosz’s log shows this:

diff --git a/usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml b/usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml
index 4267c88..07cedfb 100644
--- a/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml
+++ b/usr/lib64/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Lipstick/NotificationBaseItem.qml

The only difference is that the diff --git part wasn’t changed, but that shouldn’t affect the patch?!

So, I’m inclined to assume it’s a bug in Patchmanager’s handling of the lib → lib64 conversion. @nephros Do you think that’s possible?

#17

I won’t say it’s not possible! :slight_smile: Everything can be buggy - but the conversion it does is actually quite simple and the result can be checked for correctness (the changed file is stored im /tmp).

I think I have also seen something like this with another patch, don’t remember which one:
Applying with PM fails, even though a manually converted patch - or even the result file of patchmanager’s conversion! - does work fine when checked with something like patch --dry-run -p1 -d / < /path/to/patch.

There might be a race condition, or a bug, or something weird for some patches.

Just to confirm, can anyone affected by this problem please try this:

patch --dry-run -p1 -d / < /tmp/patchmanager3/patches/sfos-patch-homescreen-no-carousel/unified_diff_64bit.patch

(… you will have to have tried to activate the patch at least once, otherwise the file won’t exist.)

Thank you! :slight_smile: That’s just what I wanted to suggest. Maybe even try restarting the phone beforehand, to start with a clean /tmp.

#20

I just love this community trying to solve problems. My Jolla 1 has died. Jolla C is my daily driver. My Xperia 10 IV is still not in use. Thanks to everyone supporting SAILFISHOS.
