GoaSkin 15 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yes, I mean the Pro1. The same fix makes LLSv Player working on the Pro1X. But any other app I tried so far not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matf-kabouik 414 Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Thanks for trying it @GoaSkin! I remember that I wanted to try it myself some weeks ago as I did on the Pro1 back in the time with that small PR, but got sidetracked to other time sinks and then simply forgot because I don't play much video outside of my LXC container. Great to hear that it (kinda) works. Edited September 14, 2022 by matf-kabouik Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ethelfrith 0 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 (edited) Hi All, First time poster here, apologies if this is the wrong thread. I've flashed sailfish to my pro 1-x with the instructions from this first post (I originally flashed from stock android to ubuntu touch and now to sailfish) and it works really well! I've got a couple of problems though, I was hoping you guys could help with. I can't rsync to my sd card over WLAN (ssh works fine though) from my laptop and I also tried to install nano via the command line with "devel-su pkcon install nano" but it keeps failing (don't have the phone with me to tell you the actual error message) but I'll edit the post later with the actual error message. There's only approx 10GB space in the userdata folder (this is fine if I could get my sd card working) and I have the blue 8GB/256GB model Any help is greatly appreciated and I'm loving sailfish! Edit: I feel stupid.... Nano and rsync can be installed by typing "devel-su" then press return (i.e. become root), then type pkcon install nano or whatever package you want, apologies for the ill thought out post above. Still loving sailfish though.... Edited September 12, 2022 by ethelfrith update post Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoaSkin 15 Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 What I found out so far now by evaluating: - any app which crashed before when starting a video still does crash. This includes the sailfish-browser and the ytplayer - any apps which were able to start a video before but performed a software rendering with only one frame each 2-3 seconds now run fluently. This includes the LLS vplayer and any Android video app running in Waydroid.  Regarding the crashing apps, I made some experiments a few weeks before with enviroment variables forcing the apps to use different renderers. And the result was that they showed the behavior like the LLS vplayer before (one frame each few seconds). May be the right enviroment variable in combination with the gstdroidcodec.conf is the solution. But I forgot which enviroment variable I set and it is too long ago to find it in my bash history.   1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoaSkin 15 Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 The installation procedure of SFOS creates a filesystem that matches the size of the 128GB version of the Pro1X. With a few quirks after the installation, it is possible to expand the filesystem if you have the 256GB version. For this, open a shell, become root and execute the following command: resize2fs /dev/sda13 Because the partition already ends at the last sector of the disk and just the filesystem does not use the full partition size, it is easy to change this even on a running system. The size of the user home folders still remain at 80GB and I don't recommend to change the size of /home.img or avoid the image to be mounted at /home because the configuration of the home folder encryption is part of a software package and any changes on it may get overwritten during system updates. 2 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 23 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Hi @GoaSkin, Did you have any more luck changing the size of the home folders? I have been wanting to sort out this before I start using this phone. I asked on discord and @piggzshared some thoughts: For the partition size, you could try the following Boot into recovery adb shell mount userdata delete the file etc/sailfish-device-encryption-community/config.ini edit the file etc/sailfish-device-encryption-community/devices.ini and change the size as required delete home.img reboot However, I have been able to get into adb shell. My device is 'unauthorised'. To this, Piggz suggested: flash the userdebug recovery from the 2.7.3 build But I am not sure what this means, so I haven't managed. I was hoping somebody had had success in moderating the size of the root partition to 10G and making the other 200+G into home storage? Any advice? Thanks so much, Justin.

Doesn't help with the how but I made / 10G on my Xperia running Sailfish as I don't use many apps and thought it would be plenty then had to uninstall some apps to get one of the big OTA updates to install so 15-20G is probably a better choice.

Justin 23 Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 That seems like good advice Suicidal Orange. I too manage to resize my Xperia X / storage thanks to Olf’s well written guide. No shortage of / space on the Pro1X at the minute! Seems to be well over 120GB. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Justin 23 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) Hi All, So I have finally made some time to expand the /home storage on my Pro1X. Piggz gave me the instructions on discord some weeks ago (and echoed here a few posts above), but they were suitably vague. I will share what I did, though it may or may not be wise to do the same. I bumbled my way through, not carefully considered my way through. EDIT: I should have noted that this will delete all your /home, so back up anything of importance. On the SFOS install i ran as devel-su "resize2fs /dev/sda13" as per @GoaSkin instructions here. I had to replace the stock recovery with the ubtouch recovery in order to get adb working. Not sure if this is a problem with my device or a wider problem. Note that Piggz suggested to "flash the userdebug recovery from the 2.7.3 build". I couldn't work out what that meant. So instead flashed the ubtouch recovery.img. That allowed me to use adb as per Piggz instruction. Note well, that I tried to flash back the stock recovery, but I have not been able to. There is an error of some description. So it seems it is probably unwise to do as I have done here. I downloaded the Ubtouch recovery.img from here. And flashed using parts of the instruction here. Then entering recovery mode on the Pro1X I could enter ADB shell. I then mounted userdata as suggested with "mount -o rw /dev/block/sda13 /data" I could then delete conifg.ini I could edit devices.ini with "busybox vi devices.ini". Piggz has the default size set at 80000. I altered this to 202000, but think you could safely select up to 204800. I then managed to delete home.img Finally a reboot. This has left me with user data storage of 191GB and still a very large amount of space for system data. Happy to provide further info if anyone else needs its? Apparently resizing the home.img in this way is ok. Though not necessarily the way I have done it or the size. Â Edited November 27, 2022 by Justin 1 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GoaSkin 15 Posted November 28, 2022 Share Posted November 28, 2022 I just expanded the size of the root partition without modifying the size of home.img because I had the situation that there wasn't anymore space left on the root partition but only around 20% of the capacity of the home folder was used. Most software packages are deploying their files into the generic linux folders instead of the users home directory and if the diskspace of /dev/sda13 is almost used for a big home.img, this is a problem. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DillonM 10 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Any suggestions on where to start troubleshooting a networking issue where the Jolla store will load and install apps and some apps will load data but it is limited. For example, the built in weather app appears to update when I look for a new city but the browser will not connect to any page. This is happening on both Wifi and Data. However, I am also starting to doubt my T-Mobile service is working even though it shows all the network info because when I go to reconnect to a new SSID the 'sim' option for Internet is shown in white and not blue (which I am learning is the indicator of an active service in SFOS). Â Thanks ahead of time. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epninety 87 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 @DillonM I might have the same issue (original Pro1 SFOS 4.4.0.64). Sometime in the last week, some of my apps cannot connect to the internet via wifi or cellular. Weather seems to be working again, but the browser and hackernews don't connect. Your post reminded me to investigate further. I notice both work fine when started from the terminal, e.g. sailfish-browser, or harbour-sailhn. Not sure what's different, but it's a workaround at least. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

epninety 87 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 OK, maybe it's not the same problem, wierd coincidence though. For me, looks like some issue with SailJail. I edited /usr/share/applications/harbour-sailhn.desktop and inserted Sandboxing=Disabled into the [X-Sailjail] section and that now works normally when started from the icon. Not an ideal solution of course. The same fix didn't work for the browser on the first launch, though it did for subsequent launches. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What would you try next to troubleshoot? Seems weird that the Jolla store will install and load but not the browser. Actually when I ping google in terminal, It appears to be resolving via IPv6. That makes sense to me why I might not be able to resolve other sites but I am not sure how to proceed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
epninety 87 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 For my problem, it's clearly related to Sailjail so I will dig into that further when I have some time. Since your issue seems different, I'm not sure where I would look next. I'm a hardware guy, rather than software, so I might try routing the phones internet through a machine running Wireshark so I could understand what it is and isn't doing at the network interface level. Come to think of it, I think wireshark is (or was) available for SFOS so you could do the packet capture on the device itself. Not sure what I would expect to learn, but for me it's a familiar tool, so I'd just be hoping to spark an idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kif 1 Posted January 9, 2023 Share Posted January 9, 2023 Hi Thanks for the information in this thread, it has been a great help in getting Sailfish up and running (especially the resizing of the home image). I have recently received my pro1x, 256 GB with Scandinavian keyboard, and I have found come problems: Physical keyboard: On the ö/ø key, i have an underscore character, on ä/æ key i have ø, on the </> key i have 1/2 (one half), shift 4/€ gives ¤, until now I have been unable to find the @, and more. How can i change the layout? I'm using danish layout, Norwegian is closer to the physical keyboard, but still wrong. The weather app is preinstalled, but I'm unable to remove it, neither from the Jolla store (it's intalled in the overview, but not when I try to remove it), the desktop (nothing happens) or pkcon. Any ideas how to get rid of the app ? Storeman is unable to login to my own repository, any ideas to why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kif 1 Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 (edited) After fiddling some more, I still have the keyboard problems, and weather and the other pre-installed Jolla apps all are there and then not. The storeman problem was solved by trying many times. I have found one app I was unable to install, because of a version conflict between libargon2 and the one used by the community encryption. Otherwise everything seems to work as expected. Now I just have to solve the keyboard problem, and I have the perfect phone! @piggzand co. : Great work.

DillonM 10 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Been using this as my daily driver for about 2 weeks now and the biggest complaint I have is that all my MMS messages from both android and ios users do not come through. (any suggestions) There are times that I lose all network connectivity and I have to reboot but that has only been 1 or 2 times a day.  1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob. S. 1,649 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Not to rule out the possibility that it's a Sailfish or phone issue, but I've frequently been having problems with MMS—ever since my first theoretically MMS capable phone... Often it was an APN setting that was missing or amiss. That said, MMS as such has started being phased out at least in parts of this world. My primary mobile carrier (Vodafone Germany) has switched off MMS on January 17. No more MMS for me. Edited March 2, 2023 by Rob. S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DillonM 10 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Ya I am trying to figure out another option for receiving MMS and RCS. My current thought is to use Waydroid and then something like Signal (I know they no long support SMS/MMS but just an example). But I am curious if there has been any work on getting the Android UI resolution to not appear as stretched when using the keyboard? And will any notifications from an android app pass through to the SFOS notifications? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
