'How-to' - Customise the header title in Fingerterm
 

Hey guys,

while poking around in root using File Browser, I came across a file called `sailfish-release', this file can be edited to change the header information you see when logging into Fingerterm. Not really a tweak I know, but a nice little embellishment, I thought.

Navigate to a folder called `etc` in root and then scroll near to the bottom and look for a file called `sailfish-release', this is the file to edit.

Once open, this is what you see;

NAME=SailfishOS
ID=sailfishos
VERSION="SailfishOS 1.1.2.16 (Yliaavanlampi) (armv7hl)"
VERSION_ID=1.1.2.16
PRETTY_NAME="Markkyboy's Jolla!..."
SAILFISH_BUILD=16
SAILFISH_FLAVOUR=release
HOME_URL="https://sailfishos.org/"

Where it says PRETTY_NAME=, you can edit the contents between the "speech marks", once edited, save it, job done.

I changed this file while running Vaarainjarvi (1.1.1.27), then after updating to Yliaavanlampi (1.1.2.16), the file was not over written - my changes survived the OS update.

Regards,

If you're interested - the real magic happened in /etc/profile.d/sailfish-version.sh

Nice one Coderus. I wondered where the basis of the file laid, now I know, thanks man.
