Cool, bring this topic to irc meeting, srsly if it’s just tweaking few values it should be in the settings for all to use, not a patch

Or better: Bring a patch for Patchmanager

No, patches bring all kinds of unexpected behaviours, if you can speed up responsiveness with a tweak it should be a slider for all to use

Now I counted on my list: It’s 92 files, and 1-10 tweaked numbers per file, and some code parts commented out. So it’s a huge number, sure not doable with a patch.
Have recently found a few last tweaks, that makes it satisfyingly work for me now. So I’ll review the list, check for errors as good as I can and repost the current and running version.
I’ll not touch my daily device no more as long it’ll work, and I deleted the Jolla account from the phone to prevent automatic updating. Unfortunately it’s SFOS 4.5.0.24, so I don’t know if it’s still of value nowadays. But as a food for thought I’ll post it after reviewing it. (But I’ve got a tinkerphone for experiments…)

has there ever been automatic updating on SFOS? Completely new to me

The tablet seemed fine from start in terms of transitions, earliest c2 builds seemed way too slow, there’s no need to patch 20 files, it’s a pixel/inch ratio that needs tweaking (most likely in silica c++ code), it should be accessible to everyone, not only patchers (will reduce support calls if its officially supported with a slider), seriously I can’t join irc meetings as I work during them but someone surely has time to bring this up to jolla?
SFOS told me if update is available and one single wrong tap starts download immediately, followed by the legendary update limbo.
That sounds unlikely, you not only need to enter ‘update’ part in settings but also accidentally to pulldown on ‘download/update’, teach me the one touch update ways

I don’t remember exactly, also I don’t want to criticise. But as I remember, it goes very fast. For a user who wants to update it’s surely a user-friendly and perfect working way. But as my system is now heavy-tweaked and surely not updateable without crashing the whole system, I don’t want to permanently remembered that an update is available.
Ok, there is literally 0% chance to start update ‘automatically’, unless some really weird patches are in place, but for 99.99% of people it’s not gonna happen, you can logout and do whatever else you want to prevent it, just be aware it’s all security theatre
No, I must confess, more accidentally by wrong or thoughtless touch than really ‘automatically’… I know that SFOS doesn’t perform an update without any user interaction, @throwaway69 .

I am trying to create patch based on Seven.of.nine tweaks, it modifies 3 files for now and another about 5 files with which the patch activation fail - patchmanager can’t find the qml file(s) to modify. But I see the difference even with the 3 files.

Hello,
i made your patch compatible with 4.6(.0.13), needed just a few adjustments
if someone is interested I can upload this version
(just increased the slider value to 10 instead of 5 (and stepsize/min to 1)
I also made the patch “disable wake up lockscreen animation” compatible. Also messing around with compositor.qml (not sure how much this really affects stuff. Trying to do some change for the silica qml stuff next
best regards

Scrolling! I’m just saying scrolling! It feels so slow on the C2.

I’ll try but somehow i cant attach a tar.gz file? I also tried to rename to png but this fails because of obviously corrupted image
if i try I get this message:
Sorry, the file you are trying to upload is not authorised (authorised extensions: jpg, jpeg, png, gif, heic, heif, webp, avif).
Maybe someone has an idea how to upload an archive file?
edit:
ignore above
found old dropbox account:
here is one with unidiff.patch with original slider values (max 5 / min 0.5 [to increase animation time] stepsize 0.1)
here is another one for 4.6.(0.13) for compositor stuff:
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pw8b9vmu6dihslrn92jon/patch-animation-compostior.tar.gz?rlkey=acskmb952376ra3sklalv8c1w&st=yggbbve9&dl=0
not sure if i like slider or textfield better, thats why some have both. please note textfield value is set after textfield loses focus, not with enter key
dont set Peek Filter Press Delay below 100 else edge swipe stops working (at least on my phone). For rows with slider and textfield element, the default value is under the textfield. if there is only a textfield, default value is placeholder text (displayed if empty)
and old disable wake lockscreen animation (https://openrepos.net/content/equeim/patch-disable-wake-lockscreen-animation)
updated for 4.6.(0.13):
https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/x44e4t6h9q59av2xws34q/patch-disable-wake-up-lockscreen-animation_4.6.0.13.tar.gz?rlkey=7oe4jaefksf5srtdl0lym97uu&st=8mul9210&dl=0
edit:
either reboot or restart lipstick after activation (if activated by patchmanger after reboot lipstick should also restart, but not if applied first time in patchmanager, dont know why, probably to avoid crashing every open application)

Because i am not following the biweekly meetings, has anyone brought up this to Jolla??
Are they interested in incorporating the patches in the OS?

Brought to Jolla in last community meeting Community meeting on 25th September 2025 - #3 by Cryx. Here is copy-paste from the logs:

Ignore the dropbox links, uploaded the patches to Patchmanager 2.0
(please note: I tested with version 4.6.0.13 but this one isn’t available in the upload menu? )
