Sailfish OS is adding features you may take for granted elsewhere.

I had some problems in WhatsApp not showing pictures took with a camera after this update.

But... This update rocks. GUI is much smoother, Browser too, Camera makes the photos faster and the response time of the device is much better! Great job, Jolla!

Best regards,

Jaracz

Yep, that's a real problem.
Though, I can't let the excuse count that Jolla is small. Many of the essential stuff still not implemented already existed e.g. in Meego and is available in iOS & Android since years, often available as Opensource.

Ok, sorry for sounding like an unreflected fanboy but how awesome is font size change?
Such a tiny feature completely explains the beautitude of the overall UI.
I was not really missing it but now that i set Fontsize to very big for my near 40 year old eyes the whole "screenestate" paradigm makes more sense then ever:
"Hey look, i am more readable to you now but am still able to present all necessary info while still looking 100% familiar".
No awkward clipping in any native app. Very thought through.
I showed the updated J1 to my tech savey homies again after long time and they where most impressed by the fact that the update speeds up overall UX on 3 years old HW.
Please keep it coming. I have a feeling of turning tides for the first time since i bought any Jolla device.

You have to swipe starting from the screen bezel (outside of the LCD screen) and if this is not working for you then you might ****ed it up with some patches and need to reinstall lipstick.

Sailfish OS is not based on MeeGo, you know - Harmattan is still in the evil paws of Nokia Corp.

Anyone had any success with updating a community port device to 2.1 yet? I'm considering just going for it on my Nexus 5. I didn't wait for confirmed successes to try 2.0.5.6, but I have a feeling this is a little bit more than an incremental update.

Well, Sailfish OS does use a lot of components that were originally developed or selected at MeeGo, like Ofono, Maliit, MIC, RPM, systemd, Qt based UI.

Harmattan wasn't really that much MeeGo based - it had some components from it but IMHO it was closer to a final generation of Maemo - for example it still used deb packages and upstart.

And for sure there was a substantial amount of system components and default applications that were and remained proprietary.
