Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

Howdy!

Could someone of you brave souls point me to a tutorial/how to or just a regular website with things to do after a clean Saillfish install? I have just smacked it on my Nexus 5 and I'm completely green in this OS.

Maybe there is a "10 things to do after install" ;)

1. Go to Settings -> Untrusted software -> Allow to install untrusted softare
2. Download Storeman and install it.
3. Now you have access to big database of Sailfish apps trough Storeman app.

Must say - it works smooth on this old (but faithful) hardware!

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

For Early Access system updates you can login to account.jolla.com with the credentials you created on install and enable the option.

And as a new user, you might want to check the official cheat sheet for things that might interest you.

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

Welcome! You are on ported device, so Early Access is not for us. Enabling OpenRepos via Storeman is a great start.

To get text predictions on keyboard, get keyboard layout supporting predictions, such as https://openrepos.net/content/sailfi...ext-prediction

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

Thanks for correcting so fast. Have not used a ported device for too long :o

He is from Poland and there is no Polish layout with presage prediction.
I know he can make it.

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

What can I make? Or is this another he? ;)

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

Yes, you :)

You can make Polish Keyboard layout with presage based text prediction. Of course if you need text prediction.
You can read some details in description of this package https://openrepos.net/content/sailfi...ext-prediction

a big thanks @rinigus for pushing & building excellent apps!

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

It's a team effort and was fun to work on it.

As for making a dictionary, it's relatively easy. We'll be happy to help you. Main problem is to get text files to teach predictions. You can always get in touch with us by opening an issue at github, on the project repository , for example.

While it might be off-topic for a community port of Sailfish OS, there is unfortunately one step one should do for basically any Sailfish X device - increase the size of your rootfs!

Due to unfortunate situation with the default Android partitioning the default rootfs on Sailfish X devices is very small and has a low amount of free space right after initial installation. As all apps are installed to rootfs & upgrades need free space there as well, this can quickly become a major issue. In general I recommend to do this as soon as possible after installation or make sure you have everything backed up if you do it later on as a filesystem resize is needed, so better be safe than sorry.

And for the future, I guess it could be solved by spanning the LVM layout over the two partitions (two physical volumes in the LVM volume group) and having the recovery images on an LV as well.

That way no space would be wasted and root would be big enough by default, so hope Sailfish X moves this way in the future.

Interesting, the same problem occurs on the tablet, I didn't know there was a (relatively) simple solution. Thanks for the link!

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

After installing Storeman, open it and look for Patchmanager 2.0 by coderus.

Therein you'll find a web catalogue where you can find patches that tweak the UI, my favourite being the Launcher combined, which allows you to tweak how many rows and columns the launcher screen has.

Where is a joke about rm -rf /*?

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

The "?" is option. You don't really need that

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

I would recommend 3.0.

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

Why? 10 chars

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

U only found the 3 beta.

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

There's a few versions on Openrepos, but the one titled Patchmanager 2.0 has a version number 3.0.55... :)
Edit:
I didn't realise I had both installed, and the Beta has had the most recent update.
Edit2:

Installing the PM3 Beta pulls in PM2.0 automatically

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

It's supposed to be a bit safer in case of errors/updates – the files themselves are not changed, only their loading is "intercepted". Also, the lipstick restart menu item works. I started using v3 beta with SF3 and did not really miss v2.

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

Just came and Velox already answered what I had in mind.

Re: Things to do after Saillfish OS install?
 

If you're using Linux on your desktop, have a look at Sailfish Connect or KDE Connect. The former currently has more features.

You need to have KDEConnect running on your desktop, but that doesn't mean it's exclusive to KDE users.

Just having text messages popping up on my desktop notifications makes it worthwhile to me, but there are some nice features like shared clipboard, battery status, and file sharing.
