SFOS Whats working / What isn't

[Ifanafi]

Forgive my making lite fun of your Sailfish setup experiences with this picture which popped into mind (seen below your posts)...!

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 finally got SFOS flashed (e.g. hanged in tutorial - not able to swipe back from gallery app). But now I can't see any phone settings, no mobile network selection nor SIM subfolder in Settings. No signal strength indicator either. And yes, I have working SIM card inserted and funtion in Android side.

SFOS 2.1.4.14 / 0.0.1+master.20180425220752.e3d6f1b.1 (reported by SFOS About product).

I have x27 version, and dual boot with 16GB Android / 40GB Linux split.

There's no 'Mobile network', 'SIM cards' or 'Internet sharing' selections between WLAN and VPN, where those supposed to be. Why's that?

And replying to myself. It seems that ofono service is also in disabled state. So after enabling I can see at least signal strengt indicator and missing 'Mobile network' and 'Internet sharing' sections under Settings. But still no 'SIM cards'.

Code: [Select]

su-devel
systemctl enable ofono
systemctl start ofono
And after reboot all services that were enabled manually are disabled :(. Need more investigation.

. Need more investigation.

Edit: It seems ofono service can/should be disabled and some other service launced it. Anyhow, now I can receive sms, but not make calls. It says 'No network coverage' when trying to make a call.

That is really odd, you're actually missing "Cellular network" and "Internet sharing" options which would be between WLAN and VPN.

Perhaps you can flash 2.1.3.7 SFOS (same as me)?

I've two WiFi network, for one SFOS didn't accept its long password, affirming it was wrong, it connected to the other, but when I installed Italian language, reconfigured all and then WLan doesn't connect...

Are you referring to your home WiFi network? (eg 2 seperate ESSID)
If so it sounds like you have a dual band access point, one network on 5Ghz and the other on 2.4Ghz.

I believe I saw a previous user post about not being able to join 5Ghz WiFi networks.
You best bet may be to try SFOS 2.1.3.7 or wait for SFOS 3.x release.

I've two networks: main is the network from the operator, set to 2.4, then an Airport from that one, that is 2.4 and 5 GHz.

The silver button actually send event to /dev/input/event1 - code 231

mapping this event as keyboard input via X11/xkb files does  not seem to work.
I suppose droid.qmap needs to be built with mapping of this event

which leads to question - where is the kmap source of this file ?

I was under the impression that SFOS uses the Wayland windowing system, not X Windows.  Maybe the X11 directory is still there for some backward compatibility?  I personally know very little about Wayland, but I suspect it might be the lead you are looking for to dig further in.

the HW keyboard layouts are read from X11 files
i managed to setup hebrew keyboard there

Thank you for this. I am going to start playing with my Gemini again this week so I will see what I can do with that.

Yep, I was going to write a small event listener process to monitor the "keyboard" and listen for the silver button. I have been busy with other things, but as they are now almost complete, I was going to look at doing something about the silver button. You can install and run evdev_trace to see the event codes returned by key/button presses.

[yoram]

in order to set an action for this event - do we need to right code or can we do it in droid.qmap?
 
I would really like  to help with this so I am asking again where can I find the gemini  specific sources for this, assumming the are some modifications on top of sailfish SDK

I was thinking more of a simple event listener (for the button) which then invoked a dbus call to do something (eg. answer phone, start a program etc). You can run evdev_trace -t to see the events come in (I think you have to install evdev first). I don't use the SDK on PC, as I compile all my stuff on the gemini itself. I found tIDE useful to get the qml/packaging working.

[yoram]

a separated event listener will probablydo the tricj. but we already have a process that listens to input events (lipstick via qt), if we can configure it to handle this specific event, wouldnt it be better ?

The Page.qml file has changed a bit.
The required modification to enforce landscape is now:
 allowed = Orientation.LandscapeInverted | orientation === Orientation.Portrait | orientation === Orientation.PortraitInverted
to:
 allowed = Orientation.LandscapeInverted

Thanks for this -- it mostly works. But the terminal is still upside-down. Being hesitant to break stuff, I thought I'd ask if there's a link to a way to fix this? I presume it's another QML someplace, but I've not yet gotten much of a sense of the Sailfish file structure.

Meganerd recompiled the terminal for gemini which rotated the display, but (like the original terminal) it has a problem with the cursor being graphically out of alignment with the text on long lines. I installed "toeterm" from openrepos and that doesn't have the cursor issue. I just checked and I didn't have to modify any qml either. If you ever want to modify qml, they exist in:

/usr/share/<package_name>[/qml]

eg. toeterm is:

/usr/share/toeterm/qml

You can modify the qml in there to change the look and feel. I always keep backups in case things go wrong. If things are upside down, just search for Landscape, or Orientation and change Landscape to LandscapeInverted.
