Removing android support from the Jolla store doesn’t remove android support.
Can anyone confirm ?
which devices got Android 11?
10 III successfully updated with little struggles.
First thing: The Update is very big with 1 GB. Nevertheless the download was extremely fast, just took two or three minutes. Previous, much smaller updates needed at least 30 minutes if not more.
Nevertheless the update git stuck after installation - forced reset after an hour solved the problem. Android Icons where there from the beginning, don’t had to wait for them to appear.
Further testing will follow.
Automatic rotation works for me on standard browser on XA2.
if you have flashed the 10iii - how are your mobile data problems after upgrading to 4.5?
I have ‘Disable system packet verification’ option enabled, so that’s not the problem.
Here is a screenshot from my Android app on XA2 with sfos 4.5:
Here is a screenshot from my Android app on 10 II with sfos 4.4:
I was testing Google Maps on my XA2 with sfos 4.5 and it works fine (it shows maps)
It’s working fine for me.
I did check Orientation settings and even changed it. If I remember correct (pretty sure), I did this before I triggered manually the 2nd reboot. After the 2nd reboot it was working as expected, but not before…
All the ones which previously had Android 10.

My observations (confirming some issues others reported):
Update process: Xperia 10 ii: perfect, no issues
Xperia10 iii, stuck at 100%, forced reboot, no issues since
Xperia 10 iii: mobile hotspot doesn’t work with Vodafone SIM anymore. With SFOS 4.4 I only had problems with Congstar SIM while Vodafone (Germany) worked. Xperia 10 ii had no such issues but I haven’t tested hotspot with SFOS 4.5 on the Xperia 10 ii yet
MicroG: compromised, no fake store anymore etc. (see above) EDIT: solution: MicroG / Fake Store on SFOS 4.5 - #8 by vige
Chum: no Chum GUI anymore (see above)
All in all, SFOS feels good, though. Thank you, Sailors!!!

Xperia XA2, 10, 10 II, and 10 III. All that had Android 10 previously (like already commented by jameson)
It should work. I just tried that on an XA2, again, and it worked, i.e., the item “Settings > Android App Support” disappeared after running Uninstall on the corresponding item in Jolla Store > My apps.
For all with problems with MicroG, this solved it:

Android apps that force to get a location fix don’t do this anymore. I use the Nextcloud Phonetrack Android App, settings are set to start with android app support which itself is set to start right after booting, that normally forced the system to start getting a location fix.
When the phone tries to get a fix one can see that cause of the blinking location symbol. This doesn’t happen anymore. You activly need to start a Sailfish app that forces location data to get the phone starting to get fix, the blinking symbol appears for example when starting GPSInfo…
Location fix on 10 III seems worse than before. According to GPSInfo the phone has 43 sattelites in view, but even after an hour gets no fix.
Before 4.5 finding the sattelites was the main problem…
After 2nd reboot the auto rotation works. Before reboot i tried changing between other options and Automated but without success.
The updating (via CLI) went mostly smooth for me.
For some reason, the Whatsapp media folder lost the writing permissions (i.e. I could not download media). I only had to reassign them using chmod and that’s it.

It does disappear from my setting also but when a reinstall it all my android app come back.
Is there a way to completely delete the android support and start with a fresh android container ?
My Google play installation is broken, and I want to reinstall it “cleanly” so my bank app can work once again.
Often a 2nd reboot is needed after update. This is common here. So always try the reboot

The suggestion to reboot once again did the trick. Chum icon reappeared after the second reboot.
