I forgot to enable tmpfs fix. To do this you have to set your developer password in settings -> developer mode and open terminal, then execute:

Code:

devel-su systemctl enable tmpw.service

After this you reboot your phone and all the jolla apps work normally.

Not needed for PREVIEW2

Hoping this will work with Multirom...

Keij0 · Jul 5, 2016

@iArvee, I've not used it with MultiROM, so I can't confrim, it is targeted as my daily driver after all the fixes. Upload complete, BTW.

it will not work in multirom probably (90% sure)

reknew · Jul 5, 2016

after flash sailfish, recovery will still work?

EDIT: another question, I'm using L50U which is Z2 chinese edition, often I flash D6503 rom and then baseband fix zip. is this baseband fix zip could be used as often? or even I don't need it?

EDIT:I tried sailfish and found baseband fix is unnecessary . I can use network, dial and SMS. hope Android app support.

Unfortunately no

And i think you don't need it.

Keij0 · Jul 5, 2016

I haven't even tested D6502 yet, I'd be happy if someone checked other models out with their baseband fixes.

hamzxoxo · Jul 5, 2016

well works well on D6502, no patch needed.
is there a way to install android apps on this?
and also the dialer doesn't seem to work, it just keep on load displaying nothing

Keij0 · Jul 5, 2016

@hamzxoxo I will begin porting sfdroid(compatibility layer for android apps) after I cook fully working OS. Do contacts and sync work for you?

Keij0 · Jul 5, 2016

If not, then set your password for devel-su in settings -> developer mode and open terminal, type devel-su systemctl enable tmpw.service, input your password and reboot phone. They will work then. Probably forgot to enable that service in build.

hamzxoxo · Jul 5, 2016

I'll try and will tell you later but then i'll have to switch to stock i guess because i don't have another spare phone to run all neccesory apps

Keij0 · Jul 5, 2016

You can phone and sms from this, I use this as my daily driver now xD Need to get these bt/camera/dash implemented, because I have bluetooth headphones and not being able to use them is kind of sad.

hamzxoxo · Jul 5, 2016

Well ig worked but then is there any work around for running android apps? Because the OS is really good

Keij0 · Jul 5, 2016

I need to port sfdroid after I get all the hardware running, after I port sfdroid you will be able to use android apps.
