ESC button to turn off display

Hello guys,

Does anyone know how to configure the Gemini PDA to turn off the display when I press the Escape button on 2.1.4.14? From my 2.1.3.7 build this was the case and I would prefer this!

Thanks,

Getting to SFOS 3.x on Gemini PDA

Hello fellow Linux bros,

I saw this thread today Sailfish OS 3.0.0 released to early adopters today
(https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35592&st=0&#entry290497)

I have to keep type this up quick since it is literally 2:00 AM for me and I am recovering from recent sickness with work tomorrow- so I apologize for the formatting.
Also thanks to Depscribe and Yoram for the thread, it also had some useful information and links for me to get this done.

I was on SFOS 2.1.3.7 initially, but flashed the SFOS 2.1.4.14 build since I wanted to triple boot.
So these are the steps I performed from a fresh install on that build.

Step 0)

Enable early access to SFOS releases at https://account.jolla.com/
(Requires Jolla account; Not sure if required but I enabled it)

Step 1)

I enabled SSH under developer options.
I used SSH for this next task.

CODE

ssh-keygen -f "/home/meganerd/.ssh/known_hosts" -R 192.168.2.15
ssh nemo@192.168.2.15

Step 2)

CODE

devel-su
vi /usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community-common.ini

(Press 'i' to enter insert mode, modify text, ESC, then enter :wq)

change this line:

CODE

adaptation-community-common = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/common/sailfish_latest_%(arch)/

to:

CODE

adaptation-community-common = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/testing:/hw:/common/sailfishos_%(release)/

QUOTE

If do not change from devel: (state: unstable) to testing: (state: testing) you get trouble with your sensorfw (sensors not working, only a software problem). Before next step you can verify that the change is done with:

CODE

ssu lr

You must go to 2.2.0.29 before going to 3.x
So start the update to 2.2.0.29:

Step 3)

CODE

ssu re 2.2.0.29
ssu lr
pkcon refresh
version --dup
sync
reboot

(if you get "Fatal error: File ... not found" on you made a typo on the adaptations file)

CODE

After reboot, and attempting to boot into SFOS the device looks like it is in a powered off state.
But I can hear the USB sound from SFOS when I plug it in... so I SSH in to the device. This works.

(Eventually the screen started working so you can SSH or wait)

CODE

megaman@machine:~$ ssh nemo@192.168.2.15

Step 4)

Modify these 2 files to the following using vi

/usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community-common.ini

CODE

[adaptation-community-common]
repos = adaptation-community-common
pattern = Feature adaptation community common
description = Common packages needed by community's HW adaptation

[repositories-release]
adaptation-community-common = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/common/sailfish_latest_%(arch)/

/usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community.ini

CODE

[adaptation-community]
repos = adaptation-community
pattern = Feature community adaptation
description = Enable ssu for community ports

[repositories]
adaptation-community = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/planet:/geminipda/sailfish_latest_%(arch)/

Step 5)

CODE

ssh nemo@192.168.2.15

ssu re 3.0.0.5
pkcon refresh
version --dup
sync
reboot

Finished! What now?

Patch orientation file: /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/Page.qml
(You can use nano or vi; Install nano via "pkcon install nano")

CODE

$ devel-su
    # cd /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/
    # cp Page.qml Page.orig.qml
    # nano Page.qml

Modify this part:

CODE

    property int _allowedOrientations: {
        var allowed = allowedOrientations & __silica_applicationwindow_instance.allowedOrientations
        if (!allowed) {
            // No common supported orientations, let the page decide
            allowed = allowedOrientations
        }
    return allowed
    }

To this:

CODE

    property int _allowedOrientations: {
        var allowed = allowedOrientations & __silica_applicationwindow_instance.allowedOrientations
        if (!allowed) {
            // No common supported orientations, let the page decide
            allowed = Orientation.LandscapeInverted
        }
    return Orientation.LandscapeInverted
    }

Terminal with orientation patched: https://gitlab.com/Meganerd.eth/Sailfish-De...0-1.armv7hl.rpm

Other problems I notice (currently)

* App drawer icons are too large and overlap after I patch orientation
* On/ESC key does not turn off display
* Wake from sleep is significantly slower than before (This is actually bothering me the most, sometimes its very slow to wake from sleep)
* USB tether not working
* WLAN0 hotspot not working (even on previous builds I could get it working with connmanctl from CLI)

SFOS Whats working / What isn't

I have been testing SFOS 2.1.3.7 on my Gemini PDA for a little over a week now as my main OS.

I put my notes on my gitlab https://gitlab.com/Meganerd.eth/Sailfish-Development

Whats working:
* Audio
* Multi touch
* 4G Data
* SMS/MMS
* Receiving calls (To initiate calls you have to switch to 3g mode)
* Bluetooth (Pairing with headset works)
* WiFi
* USB tether
* USB transfer
* SDK working for development
* Front camera
* Notification LEDs (can be modified too but only from config file directly /etc/mce/20hybris-led.ini) Be carefull!
* The keyboard works fine

Whats not working:
* WiFi tether
* I heard GPS isnt working, I have not tested it
* Caps lock LED - Caps lock itself is working but the LED is always on
* Silver button does nothing - I have not checked if its not recognized in XEV, it simply just may not be mapped to any key

What I recommend doing if you flash SFOS:
* Lock the screen orientation otherwise the screen will rotate on you constantly during usage. The fix below worked for everything except Kodi and the native Terminal
* To fix the terminal rotation I just modified ThumbTerm source and compiled an RPM

Lock screen orientation

CODE

i) Backup Page.qml file
    $ devel-su
    # cd /usr/lib/qt5/qml/Sailfish/Silica/Page.qml
    # cp Page.qml Page.orig.qml
    # nano Page.qml

ii) Modify Page.qml (line 115)
    Original line: return Orientation.All
    Updated line: return Orientation.LandscapeInverted

    Other views: Orientation.Portrait | Orientation.Landscape | Orientation.LandscapeInverted

iii) Reboot phone to apply changes
