I also really like the changes, however I have proposals for further improvement:
- Iād like to tap a day in the week view to enter the day
- Iād prefer to swipe left/right in the day view to change view to the preceding/suceeding day, as for the week views instead of scrolling vertically, just for consistency.
Thank you a lot for your amazing work!
where are /usr/sbin/start-aliendalvik.sh & /usr/sbin/alien-post-startup.sh now?
seems like at /usr/libexec/appsupport/, correct?
PS Where is the LUKS screen alpha-num keyboard config, I wanna edit it?
What is the point to NOT have a numeric row available there at once?
PPS Why there is no OK button on alpha-num lock keyboard? On numeric lock screen there is one, but on alpha-num LUKS, Lock screen and Set up screen there is no OK button and you have to press Enter on keyboard.
PPPS Lock screen PIN checks LUKS header key. Probably not possible to unlink luks and lock PINs yet.
Wifi icon and mobile network icon shown intermittently. Like switching from wifi to mobile internet every second. Was it always like that? Never paid attention.
It seems that the uploader of Forum does not accept Linux archives. But it is possible to attach them to a customer care ticket in the Zendesk tool. New tickets can be opened at https://jolla.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.
The email address ācare@jolla.zendesk.comā is deprecated, so it should not be used.
We have learned that the logging script used here is not optimal. An improved version is coming up one of these days.
Iāve found two issues after the upgrade. The upgrade it self went without any problems.
My account for mail using Microsoft Exchange initially had a wrong password after the upgrade. The password was set to ādefaultā, but changing that to what it should be didnāt help. So reinstalling did make it work for about a day or sayā¦ most likely it stopped working after I needed the reboot the phone.
Also some andriod app issue eat all my mobile data which was when I found out that the second sim couldnāt make a data/internet connection. Swapping this to first slot made it work, but swapping it back to the second slot still didnāt workā¦ I didnāt have this problem before the upgrade soā¦
Any help/idea about how to fix the Microsoft Exchange and/or mobile data issue on the second sim would be welcome.
Two design related irks in the 4.5 release (after using it for 5 mins)
Both related to long reaches.
The little keyboard icon on the top left corner of the password screen (after boot) and the new Calendar week view change again on the top left.
They were placed exactly on the opposite side of where the hand of a user usally is making them impossible to reach with one hand.
The little keyboard could have been placed under the numbers in the center and the week view changer under the date numbers on the left side. They would be MUCH easier to reach this way.

I see this update brought masking for Android app icons, to make them fit better with the Sailfish icons. However it seems to mostly use a teardrop shape with a corner at the lower right. I would like to use other shapes for some apps. Is it possible to customize them?

Experia XA2 plus.
Trouble in internet connection with Android apps while connection works with native apps, āInternet connection not availableā reboots needed to have a working connection.
Hours of trying the GUI update wouldnāt work, so, against the prompts to avoid CLI updates, I started one and saw an error message there:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /sdcard: cpio: File from package already exists as a directory in system
I had an empty directory at /sdcard which apparently interfered with the update. Nothing should ever just assume that a file or directory name isnāt already taken ā¦
@jovirkku : (SFOS 4.5+, host /etc/hosts in AD/AAS) Instead of changing system files like aliendalvik-prepare.service, is there another possibility to add lxc.mount.entry = /etc/hosts system/etc/hosts none bind,create=file 0 0 to AD/AAS? Is Jolla going to use alien-generate-extra-config.sh in the future or can we users use that?
(BTW, why are you testing for this script with ā-fā instead of ā-xā when you then want to execute the script w.o. prepending āshā??)

for my Xperia 10III, 4.4 => 4.5 did the most damage of any SFOS upgrade ever.
- mobile data works randomly, about 25% of the time (it seems the wrong ip -6 route is selected randomly)
- android support is MUCH worse:
- some apps dont work (e.g.: element
- sdcard is randomly mounted or not (storage not found errors occur frequently)
- storage framework changed or something and now i cant get access to books in coolreader not on sdcard, and sdcard fails to mount half the time
- CPU usage is 100% for media service for 40+ hours, presumably scanning my sdcard even though i have it marked not to. never happened in 4.4
- notifications (like SMS alerts) randomly dont happen (restarting ngfd fixes it when it happens, which is often)
- bluetooth just doesnt work at all. service wont start (havent debugged this one too much yet)
there are a few other problems too, like missing packages and dependencies for things i use, too, but nothing that breaks usability so much as the above 4 problems
Sorry to hear you have a bad experience. For whatās it worth:
- mobile data works randomly, about 25% of the time (it seems the wrong ip -6 route is selected randomly)
Disable IPv6. You donāt need it. (I know it doesnāt fix the original problem, but itās a quick workaround till itās fixed.)
- SD card problems
10 III has 128 gigabytes with some 90 gigs of space left. Are you sure you need an SD card?
- bluetooth just doesnt work at all. service wont start (havent debugged this one too much yet)
Install Sailfish Utilities from the store. It has Bluetooth restart. You probably have to restart it once or twice, but itāll work eventually. Againā¦ till itās fixed.
Just my two cents. I hope it helps.

ah, yep, thats [one of] my bugs alright
thanks for the well-meant reply.
i DO need it tho. my carrier (tmobile) only does MMS over IPv6, and MMS is used extensively where i live (USA)
heh. i have only about 100GB free on my 1TB sdcard and ive been feeling a little nervous about it.
systemctl restart bluetooth does not fix it. nothing ive tried fixes it. does sailfish-utilities do something aside from restarting the service?

I donāt know about the Utilities, but @jameson wrote that trying to reset Bluetooth from the Utilities may have an effect. One more idea, have you tried the following commands?
devel-su
systemctl restart bluetooth
systemctl restart bluebinder
EDIT: fixed a typo
iāve had the 10iii working for a day now. my impressions:
- lovely and fast
- most things work great (including all the essential phone things).
- element does not work
- neither does gps. exactly as incapable of getting a fix as my xa2plus, which is a surprise as i was always told the sfos gps problems were mostly an xa2 thing.
