Report of my flashing day

General
#1

Hello sailors
First, my english is not really fluent, so sorry for all the mistakes :wink:

Secondly i used Jolla since 2014, first with a jolla 1 until now, but now it’s just a second device. My main device was a XA2 since around two years. Until today where i flash my x10ii bougt on “leboncoin.fr”.
This is a report of my exêrience :

I just “flashed” my x10ii. This operation is actually the easiest. The most complicated happens next! Recovery of applications and datas. As I am not a developer or computer scientist, I spent a whole day. And the work is not finished completely.

  • People: thanks to this link: Contacts not appearing in People app when restoring from backup (aka switching from Xperia X to Xperia 10 II)

  • gPodder: redo the symlink was not easy for me. I lost a little time especially because of the change of path by Jolla.

  • my Radio Received app has disappeared (not yet in 64bits ?). Replaced by an Android app: Transistor

  • Magic Earth & OsmAnd: not too many problems, even if you had to move files between folders.

  • ownkeepass: only available on openrepos. Still not in the store:-( Install keepassDX on android?

  • Screenshot app also not available. Certainly clicking on the level up and level down buttons both generates a screenshot by making a png folder of 3 or 4 MB. Why not a lighter jpeg?

  • Impossible to find my pictures for Gallery and my music for Media. Folders and files are on my µSDcard (encrypted). This µSDcard is coming from my previous XA2 and i have any troubles to read folders and files. And reset databases with Utilities does not work :frowning:

  • Foil Notes is also missing :frowning: And i have some important notes to recovery :frowning:

  • OK for k9mail : my account with fastmail was a little bit more difficult to come back. But explanations and help on fastmail are really good.

  • Swiss clock disappear also :frowning:

  • any problems with my wallabag app : wallabag.it - Read your articles later

  • i certainly forget some other small things… may be tomorrow to complete this report ?

i think that i need to install open repos, but you need to trust « untrusted » softwares :frowning: And i don’t find it how to do that easily. But thanks to all developpers for this incredible operating system :wink:

Most of your list is about lack of some app. It’s not Jolla fault.
If you can’t find some app you should write to it’s developer not to Jolla.

#3

Yes i know that and i forget to write it.

But for ownkeepas, it’s quite not understandable why this app is not in the official store.
Among app missing : Lighthouse. Yes i know that this app is quite old now but do you know an equivalent app or a way to see the apps process running in the smartphone and that you must “kill” because closed their is not enough ?

For Media and Gallery, i will open e a new thread.

For Lighthouse replacement Crest in Openrepos have aarch64 build according to change notes.

#5

if you enable the chum repository you can find an aarch64 rpm for ownkeepass, also received can be easily compiled to aarch64 and works fine.

#6

The reason is quite simple: The maintainer of the app has not uploaded it there.

For indexation of databases (music and pictures) is now solved : don’t change username and used old methods : Gallery and Media on x10ii
