if you have strange problems with you partitions after flashing the device (root is filling up with no specific reason)
Boot in recovery…factory reset…format data…
than reflash
When installation was successful, there are some things to take account of:
- All Wlans show up three times. (No solution a t the moment, but no major impact as well)
- Hotspot function is not working or just very flaky. It definitely just works, when Wlan is switched off before turning hotspot on.
- There are other WLan issues. Which leads to some problems with specific applications (for example Sailfish connect). But in general WLan works fine and stable.
- ringtone volume can’t be changed via buttons. but it can be achieved over setting the volume in the Ambiences. Ringtone volume there is respected. If you want to disable buttons for changing ringtone volume and just use the buttons for media volume, you can achieve this with this command:
dconf write /jolla/sound/force_mediavolume true
- vibrations for some actions are too short to really be recognized. To change this you have to alter this file (at least on GS5 and rephone): /usr/share/ngfd/plugins.d/50-droid-vibrator.ini after editing it, you have to restart the corresponding service to activate the new settings:
systemctl --user restart ngfd
This are the values I use at the moment (be aware, these values reflecting my personal taste):
drag_start = on=40
release_weak = on=40
drag_fail = on=40
drag_boundary = on=60
touch_weak = on=60
drag_end = on=75
release = on=75
touch = on=100
release_strong = on=100
touch_strong = on=125
short = on=125
strong = on=150
long = on=800
notice = on=125,pause=500,repeat=1
message = on=125,pause=125,repeat=1
attention = on=125,pause=125,repeat=2
alarm = on=1000,pause=500,repeat=forever
ringtone = on=2000,pause=500,repeat=forever
default = on=125
Most of my comments refer to the GS5 and the rephone. I think the network problems are not present on the other Volla devices
