Indeed, hence my question to Jolla:

I am wondering what the reason is for storing the apps in the root partition which has extremely limited space, rather than say, in the way bigger home partition on a per user basis. I know that would duplicate app storage for mutiple users, but it would also allow different users to have different sets of apps (e.g. Guest or child users only have access to particular apps). I am not a developer, so apologies if this seems like a daft question.

X10III: update went fine .
AAS autostart is fixed!
Unwanted “minimise to desktop” of Android apps seems also fixed.
So far so good, no regression encountered.
Thanks!

On the topic of uninstalling things, I’d recommend using

zypper remove -u <<packagename>>

… note the -u which will remove unused dependencies as well.

Hey Jolla team - a big THANK YOU for your work! :slight_smile:

Sometimes it seems there’s lots of negativity on the forum - so the perception may be a bit skewed.

You’re fighting a good fight and we love you for it. Keep it up!

clicky: still sailing - it’s not much…

Anyway, I repackaged the nodejs binary on OpenRepos to install under /home/.nodejs so it shouldn’t take up rootfs space anymore. For now only for aarch64.

X10II: update went fine, only took 1h to download…
AAS took 10m for first start, than back to normal under 1m
No big changes observed so far except updates from aurora now work smooth.
I only object to version number. C’mon for this big change 5.0.0.72 → 5.0.0.73. IMO it should be at least 5.0.1.x

It was possible at some time and I did this, but with upgrade to something like 4.9 this change in partition layout bricked my device

Android has this silly visual effect that when you scroll the screen until there’s nothing more to scroll, the scrolling doesn’t just stop but there happens a stretching effect that make me kind of seasick. It’s present in Android apps on Sailfish. I did already once get rid of it per Android instructions found online, but now that the Android support was upgraded to 13 that silly default visual effect is back again. And I need to get rid of it again. So a minor hassle, nothing more.

edit: Oh, apparently that effect was introduced in Android 12. It must’ve been my Xperia 10 V where I got rid of it once, and now this update brought it to my 10 II too.

Update installed flawlessly on my x10 III.
Is it just me, but the phone seems to be snappier?!

Great update, Jolla!
Many thanks!

The update itself was smooth; however it appeard userspace dbus files (those in /run/user/10000/d-bus ) are not preserved.
Needless to say, this worked flawlessy before the update.

You mean soft bricked?

Wow, what an update! Good job, and thank you, Jolla staff. Especially the Android 13 support for older devices impresses me, even though I no longer have any of these devices.

But I am waiting for the public release for my Jolla C2.

I have 767 MB free on my system partition, hopefully, this will be enough for the update.

If not, is it possible to reflash with this newest version to resize the system partition, or do I have to go from the first version flashed to achieve this?

You can turn the silly effect off in Android settings → Bedienungshilfen (operating aids) → Farbe + Bewegung (color + moving effects) → Animationen entfernen (remove animations) → on.

And I agree with your opinion.
Slowly i come to the conclusion Android was made for driving people crazy. :wink:

Xperia III, update installed.

No issues spotted yet. Seems like my phone drains a bit less battery now. But may be due to less programs in cache?

Anyway, great work!

I agree too:
Android was created to fulfill the company’s needs rather than the users’ needs.

IIRC if you reflash C2 you get bigger root partition as latter images have it bigger then original.

Even more interesting;
after re-installing (removing, installing) Quickbar, I still am lacking the files in question.
The error from journalctl is:

Feb 07 12:46:47 Xperia10II-DualSIM lipstick[2994]: Remote action failed: The name com.giuliettasw.debota was not provided by any .service files

On top of this, after uninstalling the app, and re-installing it; I got the “App needs following permissions” dialog. Acknowledging that didnt make a difference, however.

My desktop file looks like this:

[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
X-Nemo-Application-Type=no-invoker
X-Nemo-Single-Instance=yes
Name=Quickbar unboxed
Icon=harbour-debota
Exec=harbour-debota
