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.
