The device has fdisk, so it should be doable. But I'm no expert, I need to follow a guide to avoid bricking my device by formatting the wrong things. :p

I'd like to take advantage of the 64 GB storage before I leave for holidays.

Thanks in advance, sorry if I missed a tutorial.

What is "promet filesystem" ? :confused:

fdisk is for partition editing and mkfs command is for creating file system on the partition.

Code:

mkfs.bfs

mkfs.btrfs

mkfs.cramfs

mkfs.ext2

mkfs.ext3

mkfs.ext4

mkfs.ext4dev

mkfs.fat

mkfs.minix

mkfs.msdos

mkfs.vfat

for a flash drive you should use non journaling fs, like ext2, brtfs (it auto detects the flash drive), fat32+, exfat.

I understand that I should be able to connect via Serial connection type in PuTTY. But my windows doesn't regocnize the phone at all if I select the developer mode.

Any advice and anyone using SSH over USB?

On the phone side go to Settings -> Dev Tools
actvivate remote access, give your Jolla an "USB IP" preferrably an IP in your home network, and set an passwort.

With those information you should have no problem to use putty.

I use SSH over WLAN. Started connecting over USB first on Mac, now on Windows 8. RNDIS/Ethernet seems the direction to go.

I found this article:
http://doc-snapshot.qt-project.org/q...ing-meego.html
and connected my N9, which started installing the N9 RNDIS/Ethernet driver indeed. In W8, the device will not install: no compatible drivers. A search on the internet did not provide another driver.

Maybe this thread will help, or I will stick to WLAN.

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Thank you for answers, but currently I can't have the connection within my home network. I normally do use SSH over Wlan and I don't have any problems. But now my network is a hotspot shared by an Lumia 920, so I can't use PuTTY withing that as the Lumia won't support that to my understanding.

I will take time and read through the article rob_kouw provided, maybe there is something.

To my understanding Hemiwis advice can't help me in this situation.

Anyone with more "direct" advice?

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Don't know if it's been posted yet anywhere, but to get internet radio capability (in a limited form) into the Media player, create a playlist file with content like below and save it as an .m3u file where the tracker can find it.

Note that the media player doesn't seem to read song titles and artist names etc.

Code:

#EXTM3U



#EXTINF:123, Sample artist - Sample title

The components gallery, pre-installed on the SDK emulator, but can also be installed on the device itself.
It shows off the UI components available in Sailfish Silica. It's a handy reference for looking at the source code to see how you use the components.
But except for looking pretty, it has no use for non-developers.

thanks for the tip. I used it an deleted the entry with the jolla media player and had a format change of the file after that, so you can do it this way too

myoldfashionlist.pls

Code:

[playlist]

X-GNOME-Title=bu4b.m3u

NumberOfEntries=3

File1=http://72.13.82.82:5100

Title1=belly up for blues

Length1=-1

Title2=beatlesradio.com

Length2=-1

File3=http://192.81.248.70:8012

Title3=The Beatle Stream

This is sound advice.

While changing the Remote NDIS based Internet sharing device's Properties, also disable

Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver
Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

I was sick of having to source the .bashrc manually in the terminal. Unfortunately it seems you can't automate this easily. To still get a nice shell I change the fingerterm.desktop to login locally via ssh. To not be required to then type in the current (maybe changing) ssh password, use key files. First do these in fingerterm (just press enter to use the defaults when asked):

ssh-keygen
ssh-copy-id nemo@localhost

Then edit the /usr/share/applications/fingerterm.desktop file to look like this:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=Terminal

Exec=fingerterm -e "ssh nemo@localhost"

Icon=icon-l-terminal

Or create a new one if you want to keep the normal terminal (might have to reboot for it to appear):

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Name=Local SSH

Exec=fingerterm -e "ssh nemo@localhost"

Icon=icon-l-terminal

No biggie for one but if all cables are the same Jolla should contact manufacturer.for proper ones...

I have similar, so at least there are couple of these upside down ones delivered.

Mine also has the marking on the underside but this is no problem as it is decorative only.

I flattened the friction pins to make it a loose fit and reduce the load on the socket connection to the mother board. That way if I trip over the cable it should just slide out and not send the phone flying across the room. Seen that happen with an N900 and the surface mount only socket came off the board:(

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Did you manage to stop the ads in 1Mobile Market? If yes, with what hosts file? I tried the hosts file uploaded here but it didn't help...

J4ZZ	2014-02-10 13:46

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

I don't use 1Mobile but you could simply try another hosts file then.
http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
or one these (for android)
AdFree-hosts 10.02.2014

Post your results ;)

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Nope... It didn't work. Maybe the hosts for 1Mobile are not yet in the list...
(I restarted the phone to be sure the new file is taken into account and I replaced it in both /system/etc/hosts and /opt/alien/system/etc/hosts)

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Not seen it here but this website allows you to get apk's from Google Play store without installing the google spy services:

http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/

Browse first to the listing of the app in the store, copy the link, paste/generate and download (someone with an android phone should verify that the resulting apk is the same as from play store, don't have one so cannot do it myself)

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

Nice idea but it seems the ads are links to applications inside 1Mobile Market.. I don't get to see the host name. I will just try to not use the market that much. Thank you for the help.

Edit: The 1mobile market cache is here: /sdcard/Android/data/me.onemobile.android/cache/

In the folder /sdcard/Android/data/me.onemobile.android/cache/images you will find many image files starting with "i" and a few starting with "-" or numbers (on my side I had 7).

From the 7 files one was html type and I left it as is, but the other 6 image files I replaced with 0 length files.

EDIT: After some time the files are replaced by the store... So the ADS will come back.

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

I might have missed this, but when testing dice appbfrom harbour, d100 is at the top, so rolling until you get that 100 = many tries. Tip: swipe from right next to bottom, the whole pulley menu will show up instantly, click the option you want from the upper parts. Lame maybe, but seems to be a feature, and since guidelines have nothing for long lists yet could be useful. Happy sailing

Re: Jolla Owners hints and tips and app sites

hi everybody,

actually i'm still using my n900, cause i didn't find a way to sync my jolla with my mac... i don't trust google and i hoped there would be a way to sync my calender and contacts local via usb or bluethooth... is there any possibility? some android apps? any idea? or could i just sync my n900 and after that my n900 with my jolla?
installing owncloud seems to be quite a bit of work and if i want to encrypt the connections even more...

thank anybody who has any idea...

sincerly

You can export your contacts to vcf, probably best to merge them into one file afterwards and import that to your Jolla. All other ways I tried like direct sync with n9 did not work (people claim it works and it does partially, contacts with special chars or something odd do not get synced).

For calendar, I actually did not do any of this but syncevolution should work on n900 and people said it did (just recently I read about problems) work on their Jolla.

If you want to try I can give you access to my owncloud server (ssl, userdata encrypted, if you do not trust me with some calendar entries you may delete them after the sync and tell me to delete your account), contact me on IRC
