Hi - after several years on Android, i have moved to Sailfish last night. The experience so far has been quite unique. I have a few questions though

  1. I restored my contacts from google. However when i call or someone calls me, i dont get to see the picture. I suspect the pictures have not gotten synced. Anything i missed here?
  2. I backed up my SMSs and Call logs using super back up on android. I restored it on my sailfish. However when i go to the sms or calls logs, i dont see these restored messages. They are stored as .xml in the backups.
  3. Are there any icoes widgets that i can get on my home screen?

3 what do you mean by icoes?anyway no you can't have widgets on home since is used to show apps in multitasking...anyway when you have some apps opened you could perform actions from there...the only widget you can have is the weather widget which is located in the events view (swype left-right from home to access it)

Thanks. I meant app icons (typo in the initial post). Is there a way to get app icons on the hope page instead of swiping up and looking at all the icons each time?

No that's not possible. Each screen has a function (like event screen, multitasking screen, etc). The app screen can be swiped up whenever you want - also within an already opened app. You can move important apps to a top row or use folders to keep your applications organised.
