This was already part of 2.0.1.11.

There's a difference between trying to help when you know what you're doing and trying to help when you don't.

You're completely right, some members should appreciate Schturman Schadenfreude free work some more or just write their own stuff.

Wow, that new Messages cover is absolutely terrible. On par with the Notes cover for 'worst idea in the history of Sailfish'. I like that it now adapts what's visible on the cover to the length of the sent/received messages, but that white background... why. In fact the white background is not even the worst thing about it, that award goes to the ALL-CAPS NAMES.

Something else I don't like is that going from the lock screen to the home screen now shows an unnecessary fade-in animation which blocks you from doing anything else. Going from lock screen to an open application doesn't do this, however.

The flashlight switch doesn't really seem to work.

I don't get the new Salamander ambience considering it's just a red version of Freedom, and there's no salamander on there.

Accounts seemed to be broken but restarting Settings made it work again.

The fonts look slightly different, except in Terminal where they look very different (and not in a very good way).

I do like the redesign of some icons in the media player and Documents, the basic file manager in Settings (it also works for internal storage, but you have to access it from the pulley menu) and the character count for SMS (at last!).

Now I'm curious if sounds suddenly stopped working or if it's just my speaker acting up again. Great news! Sounds were just broken until reboot. No idea why, but it works again, so I'm happy.

Edit: in fact, the problem seems to be the flashlight switch! If the flashlight is on (or if the system thinks the flashlight is on), sounds are off! What, why, how? This doesn't happen when using the flashlight switch from OpenRepos, which always works and doesn't mute all sounds while it's on.

That depends. The intention is the same.

I would not call TMavica's post "offensive". Saying that someone's code has some room for improvement when it does is not a personal attack. Would you consider it a personal attack if someone told you that hou are a bad singer?

Schturman is clearly a beginner but he is also clearly keen to improve and, equally importantly, he shares the steps he makes on his way to improvement with the rest of us. For that alone he deserves my full respect and appreciation. No one was born an expert and everyone, even the experts, makes mistakes. The way Schturman shares his experiences for others to learn the same stuff and avoid the same mistakes is nothing but commendable.

+1!

It does, but it takes forever to activate. Like,"three minutes forever", not "three seconds forever". I found my seat in the dark cinema long before the flashlight finally turned on. Luckily the old !!enable_switch is still there, doing the same thing instantly.

Yes, finally. Not a year too soon. The placement of the counter could be better but I guess they did not want to copy my design completely

Other things I would put into the "finally" category:

• The option to record calls
• The reboot option
• The option to turn off that terribly unreliable "flip to reject a call" feature

It seems to do a whole lot more than just a flip a switch (if you've seen my edit to my post, it somehow manages to completely block playback of any kind of audio or video as long as it's enabled), which could be why it's taking so long.

It actually pauses the music when turning the flash light on and starts playing when turning off the flash light. It also takes almost a minute to turn the switch on first time.

I wonder if this works on Jolla-C correctly. Still should be reported on tjc.
