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.
I also tried several Android apps that are supposed to show the current speed. Some of them showed a big fat constant 0, others 0 and 58 alternating at a few seconds interval.
I just hope Nokia Here would acquire turn-by-turn navigation soon. I would even pay for it.

Isn't there a typo in your command?
Shouldn't it be --ignore-existing?
EDIT:
My steps:
I put the zip file in Downloads directory.
I unzip it from Downloads dir.
Now I have an error why?

Did you try connecting to an HRM? An attempt to do that makes Sports Tracker to crash.

How can I edit my build.prop file in terminal? what command?
My Google play store works now.
I need to edit the file to have all applications enable no?
What line I need to add?
Can you give me step by step? plz

I happened to fix the Nitrodesk touchdown email/calendar app as it was showing GMT times and I live in EET.
Hi Skuke,

My Google play store works now.

What line I need to add?
Can you give me step by step? plz
Step by step guide:
enable developer mode and open terminal and enter these commands (see comments for additional info):
devel-su
(privileges...)
pkcon install nano
(install nano editor - http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92036)
nano /opt/alien/system.build.prop
(opens up editor and you can add this line at the end of the file:
persist.sys.timezone=Europe/Helsinki
Close editor with ctrl-x and accept to save changes)

Having google's services running in the background on my device however is something I really want to avoid. Are there tools available to download free apps from the play store, without using the play store?
There's this, but that might close down any minute. The alternative, using Chrome, well... That won't run so great on Jolla - like I even would want to use google's browser.
Anymore options?

I just noticed:
Installing the app "Zoom Camera" from Yandex store makes the Whatsapp-clients video recording-button to function. When clicking Whatsapps video-button the Zoom Camera app automatically starts and you can then record a video and send through whatsapp right away.

All times are GMT. The time now is 14:04.
