I had asked this on a different thread but this one seems more appropiate. Does the android app Hackers Keyboard work? I like it because it includes Ctrl, tab and esc keys. Also, I am curious whether apps that are designed to appear as floating windows work on Jolla Sailfish. You might consider trying an app called "Stick it" which will play videos in a small window. Also the app "hovernote" is nice for taking notes with. Thanks!

NavFree from the Yandex repostitory works.

Depending on your location there are free downloadable maps. (Asia seems to be lacking)

Edit: NavFree online reviews show an advertisement bar in NavFree but no such suffering on the Jolla Android as far as I can tell.


Compass applications for Android:
Installing a simple compass application indicates: orientation sensor not found or compass not found, sorry you need a better phone


Anyway, happy to see the Jolla GPS sensor is being mapped to the Android machine.

The video player doesn't start.
Can someone confirm that ?
Yes. Same experience. Also messages with sound instead of video will not be played. I installed the apk from the WhatsApp website.

Ah - that might explain why Navfree has difficulty getting the direction of travel arrow orientated correctly when you are stationary.

Found a solution to that problem. Find the contact in question (or any contact, if it's all of them for you) and change the name of the person. It is enough to remove or add a letter. Save this change. Change it back to the normal name. Now whatsapp should sync the contact immediately with the name.
At least it worked this way for me.

Other things:
Does Google Music work for anyone? Perhaps people with play store installed? I can install and open the app, but the account button does nothing.

Last.fm streams fine. Of course it doesn't scrobble from sailfish player. Has anyone tried it with an android music player? (Is there a good one, preferrable one that lets you sort by album artist tag?)

(Liquid Bear) through Yandex seems to be working fine, even continues playing when I go to the home screen or work in a Sailfish app. Also gives notifications when it changes song for example

edit: sry wrong app I meant "@to music"

Rdio seems to work fine

Newsblur android client work well (although one icon in the toolbar has a strange size).

The ABC (Australia) app video streaming doesn't work.
