Flatpak on Sailfish OS - Page 5 - maemo.org

It worked for me on the Pro¹ with some warnings that I guess are minor since Angelfish runs. All steps after the "reboot" step in the Github instructions were run immediately after reboot, the screen didn't turn off once. I'm looking forward to being able to install other apps in the future!

I would rule out the chances of phone suspending. I was pretty eager to see the result of the operation and kept it alive

Also, thanks to the intelligent timeout/suspension management in Sailfish OS (mce takes care of that?) that the screen stays on longer during the next cycle if woken up during the dimming phase.

Turned out that the issue with Pure Maps was not OpenGL, but internal Mapbox code used to download tiles. As I was using hybrid version for Mapbox GL and not pure Qt one (due to a bug in old Qt used by SFOS), this somehow triggered an issue. So, GL part is working fine (well, maybe with some other issues).

New releases of Flatpak Runner and Maliit keyboard plugin are out. It is now possible to ask Flatpak Runner to take into account whether the keyboard is shown and, if it is, reduce the window used by application accordingly. As there is a temporary side-effect while Wayland application window is changed (old content scaled to the new size and then redrawn), I made this feature opt-in. Usually its not needed, but sometimes is handy. Examples when its needed: setting homepage and search options in Angelfish.

The packages are available at OBS.

Meanwhile, I am mainly working on Angelfish. Its progressing nicely and already is the main SFOS browser for me. Some changes are not merged yet (auto-hiding of navigation bar), some changes have to be written. But we are making progress with KDE developers.

Ironically, TMO is the worst site right now. As WebEngine doesn't handle HIDPI that well, I have to scale window up and TMO just doesn't fit on portrait when the minimal font is imposed.

Is it possible to run flatpak on a Nexus 5? With the latest Sailfish but based on an "old" CM 12.

Give it a try. I don't know, tbh. The bug that I fixed in hybris was introduced for Android 6 and above. It may work just out of the box. Unless there is something missing in the kernel... So, try and let us know.

Trying to run Angelfish gives me the following output. It opens an empty window.

Few quick checks:

- have you rebooted after installing flatpak? If you didn't, please do so

- have you installed Angelfish using --user?

- what does `flatpak list` return in terminal?

- Try to enter Flatpak environment by running: flatpak run --command=sh org.kde.mobile.angelfish

The last command should give you a prompt inside Flatpak. If something is wrong, it will fail.

My bad, I didn't complete the installation. Anyway, now it does not start with the following output:
