So, if your ultimate goal is Angelfish, forget about flatpack for the time being.

What you want to do is install the app Chum GUI.

Installing and using Chum on Sailfish OS

Once you got that, go into its settings, and find the option to override the version. Set it to “4.6”.
Let it refresh, and then use it search function to find Angelfish, and install it from there.

After you have done that, go back into the Chum GUI Settings and clear the version override.

@nephros

Yes. But seeing that the .rpm offered by netfly is a .src.rpm that’s wrong! (apparently a bug in the site!).
So go the Storeman route.

Thanks! I had to go the Storeman route, and after a reboot, everything got working!

So, now I’ve got Angelfish installed on my phone. Yeay!!! Thank you guys a lot for your support! More, the Amaze file manager is now gone.

But will I use Angelsfish as my daily browser…? No, I don’t think so.

The first website I tried to open, refused to open: “The browser needs to be updated etc. etc.”

The second one, a popular news site, I could only see half of the titles and the images; the scaling is a mess, really… Any hacks to fix this?

Well, that’s no wonder. This is what I picked up from another thread:

From what I could gather, the Angelfish release on Chum uses QtWebEngine 5.15.14, which is based on Chromium 87.0.4280.144. This version of Chromium was released on January 8, 2021. So, it is not up to date at all. In fact, it is based on an even older browser version than Sailfish Browser, which is based on Firefox ESR 91.13.1. This version of Firefox was released on August 24, 2022.

So yeah… I guess all I can do is to settle for my Vivaldi then…

But was this journey useless…? No, not at all! I learnt many things how the SF-system works (and how it does not); I got introduced to Storeman and Chum GUI; and last but not least, I learned not to trust the hallucinations of AI, and now I know better!

Just one final question! If I ever need to use a terminal on my Jolla C2, what do you recommend? Well, I know you recommend me to disable my Developer mode immediately, lol! But is there any other application for running command line in Sailfish — without Developer mode?

Cheers and thanks!
