[appeal][feature request] Please integrate patches as option for all users at future releases. Give the power to the users!

+1 totally agree

voted up man, I cannot do without patches ever since on my N9, and having it integrated is a marvelous request.

Although this would be great, the problem is, the way it is now it is clear to everybody that the ppl who officialy make sfos have nothing to do with the patches. Dont ask them for support when suddenly your pulleys jump off their rails and your swipes are on fire. Ask the guys who wrote those patches you installed.

:-/

I would rather imagine SFOS going full OSS and then something like this happening.

Fully agree. Regretfully that such an impressive user interface such as SFOS 1.0 got not further perfected or blessed with configurable options before the world could have a true taste of it.

Instead it got changed ("refreshed" as it is being called) to match an Android like user experience.

The result is too much of "wannabe Android" and too little "want to improve over Android" (security and app restrictions come to mind )

IMO - > Sailfish: it should be the best platform to run your favorite Android apps on and more. NOT a convenient Android like interface and worse security options and performance.

How to explain the current turn around from SF 1.0 and improvements that are 1 step forward 2 steps back (yes we have now more useful events but those could have been part of SFOS 1.0, just an evolution): certainly what happened is that Jolla has met with a couple of arrogant potential hardware partners in China and India that have forwarded them a condition to change and "improve" this feature or that option.

Jolla, eager for claiming its first full SFOS license partnership, rushed to comply and has pushed out an updated UI including including the 3rd party imposed changes all while introducing new inconsistencies that will need the exact same attention and polish as SFOS 1.0 and this without any true options to revert to the old situation.

So doing ignoring its fans and early supporters that are used to SFOS 1.0 interface and know how to use it efficiently.

Still there is hope because Jolla has announced SFOS 2.0 as "more personalization", so I truly have my hopes up that personalization is yet to come.

More personalization There are now even more options enabling you to personalize the phone according to your needs. One example is defining the behavior of the top edge swipe gesture: you can choose to keep it as an ambience switcher or change it to close apps directly with one top swipe (like before).

Sailfish 2.1 : Like before ... and more!

Where to get those patches btw? I would like to check if anyone wrote one to assign edge-swipes on home to the caroussel-advance action, unassign vertical inscreen swipes in home view, reinstate cover-gestures and finally added scroll up to lockscreen. The only four changes i would ever be interested in.
