Early access Aurajoki 2.0.2.45 starting soon?

It's also possible to force the Jolla Store application to upgrade to a specific version (as explained here). This uses the standard upgrade routines and thus is a bit safer than version --dup.

Anything else new in the update?

Things I've spotted during my time on 2.0.2 (using it since a week or so). It's pretty feature packed, so I may have forgotten something:

• New "Storage" page in Settings
• Simple file manager built-in
• Dual sim support
• There is an option to avoid launching Alien Dalvik at boot
• Character counter in Messages (must be enabled in Settings)
• Call recorder
• Undo option for Camera settings
• Reboot button on powermenu (must be enabled in Settings)
• A bunch of new languages and keyboard layouts
• Reworked Media app home page
• New Flashlight setting shortcut
• Quick actions can now be put into the Lockscreen shortcuts (yay!)
• "Flip to silence calls and alarms" can now be disabled via UI
• The Web Browser now opens links in a new tab (yaaay)
• The Web Browser can now close every tab on exit

Curiosity got better of me, updated from 2.0.1.11 to 2.0.2.45. So far all good, update with terminal went smoothly. I dont have android support or patches on my phone.

I updated yesterday but have some small issues:

• When I open bigger menu folders I see the folder being build up (the icons are painted one by one). It builds up pretty fast but clearly slower than 2.0.1.11 where you didn't see that.
• Alien dalvik is eating up a lot of RAM (memory leak maybe?)
• SD card access uses a lot of CPU power. Couple that with the point above (swap on SD card to give alien dalvik more air) and you can't use any android app anymore (the phone will simply become unusable cause all CPU power is given to mmcqd/1).

Is my update corrupted or is anyone able to confirm that?

//EDIT: I just looked at journalctl -b 0 and I see a lot of

Jun 19 09:36:17 Sailfish kernel: mmcblk1: timed out sending SET_BLOCK_COUNT command, card status 0x40

as well as

//EDIT²: A lot means a few hundred lines per second.

//EDIT³: Another thing is that the phones hostname changed from jolla to sailfish, confusing my network setup. But that's a minor issue.

@g7,

Simple file manager built-in

Where?

EDIT: Do you mean the thing in the Storage page under Settings? That is very basic indeed and as far as I could figure out, can browse only the SD card. Not the internal storage, for some weird reason.

pressing both volume buttons takes a screenshot

@V10lator I don't have any problems with cpu usage, but my phone doesn't have alien dalvik. All so my sd card works and folders load without a problem. But if alien dalvik uses lots of ram and it has sd card as swap maby its causing excessive amounts of read/writed operations to sd card?

@mattl Thanks for the reply. I disabled swap and since then android apps are as fast as before. However it has a reason I use swap on the SD card, so this is just a temporary workaround.

With 2.0.1.11 kswapd did use a lot of CPU with heavy swapping on the SD card but things settled down quickly and the OS didn't hand completely. With 2.0.2.45 kswapd uses almost no CPU but mmcqd does, things won't settle down and the OS becomes completely unresponsible (expect for SSD connections that where opened when the OS was still responsible).

Now I wanted to see if my f2fs formatted card is stable, but it's mounted read-only and:

[root@Sailfish nemo]# mount -o remount,rw /media/sdcard/JollaCard
mount: /media/sdcard/JollaCard not mounted or bad option

       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail or so.
[root@Sailfish nemo]# dmesg | grep F2FS
[  195.588463] F2FS-fs (mmcblk1p2): Unrecognized mount option "user_xattr" or missing value
[root@Sailfish nemo]# cat /usr/sbin/mount-sd.sh | grep xattr

What's adding user_xattr to the mount command if not the script mounting it?

//EDIT: And after rebooting swap on the SD card is activated again, even after me commenting out the corresponding lines at /usr/sbin/mount-sd.sh -- that means swap on SD cards is supported without the bleeding edge sd utils --. Dear Jolla Oy, please use /usr/sbin/mount-sd.sh for handling mounts of the SD card only...

Is there a lesser mess when syncing with Google Adress book fields & labels, too?

There is an option to avoid launching Alien Dalvik at boot

This is already present on 2.0.1.11

Did anyone notice how large the update is?

@Markkyboy, i had 596 packages updated O.O from 1.11 to 2.43 and 133 Packages to 2.45.

g7: Reboot button on powermenu (must be enabled in Settings) It sadly is a shutdown button, reboot would be appreciated.

Thanks @mosen - I was really after the package size in MB's, but no worries.... I zeroed my download counter but at 5% of the way in. So I can see how much - just wondering, as I'm on a limited data package and I don't have broadband/wifi at home, except for BT openzone access occasionally.

@g7 - I saw a tweet by James:

JollaC tips: Drag your finger on a turned off screen from left to right (Or otherwise) to wake the device.

Might work with 2.0.2.45 too.

@pichlo, in the internal storage part, there's a menu option "file manager". However, copying files between internal storage and SD card is not possible.

Thanks, @AliNa. I've found that in the meantime, possibly after some TMO post.

Consistency? What is that? :)

There are more new features than what @g7 mentioned:

• Delete and share multiple contacts (using a menu entry "Select contacts")
• Mount/Unmount external storage
• Format external storage
• Unlock to last active app is now implemented
