Here is a workaround that worked without problems for me. Note that I had the spinning circle problem and journalctl command showed "QSqlError" errors.
This will delete your existing ambiences, but it will bring back all the original and all ambiences from covers. This has been tested on several phones and it has not caused a bootloop. However I can't guarantee that such thing could not happen.
devel-su
cd /home/nemo/.local/share/system/privileged/Ambienced/
mkdir bak
mv ambienced* bak/
reboot
After the reboot go to Gallery -> Ambiences. All installed but missing original and cover ambiences should be there.
Before reattaching TOH covers to the phone, please first remove the cover based ambiences through Jolla Store (they are under 'My Apps'-list) or by running these accordingly:
pkcon remove ambience-snow-white
pkcon remove ambience-the-first-one
pkcon remove ambience-black
pkcon remove ambience-aloe
You have to do this only once. After this you can reattach the The Other Half cover and go through their installation process as usual. In case you haven't done this, and get the spinning circle problem again, just reboot to get rid of the running process, and uninstall the ambience. Then reattach the cover.
Edit: How it works: During the reboot sailfish creates a clean database during when the ambience engine starts [if it does not exist already]. In case someone at Jolla is interested in what went wrong with the original databases, we can use the ones under bak directory.
Edit2: To see whether the original problem would happen with the new database, I removed the Keira Black through Jolla Store and checked with 'pkcon search ambi' that it was not installed anymore. Then I snapped the black cover back on. Both download and registering were successful and there were no problems. This indicates that the old database and/or its contents had corrupted at some point.
Edit3: I got a spinning circle again with a cover that I had not uninstalled first after the database removal. Added details to clear up the situation in the above process. This seems to have spawned from the situation that the ambient in newly created database has some missing information regarding TOH, and the existing copy can't be overwritten.
Not sure I understand. Can you be more specific about your problem?

michdeskunk ( 2014-01-16 22:44:54 +0300 )editHow long has the installation process lasted? I also have LE TOH and installation for me took about 15-30 seconds, same with white TOH also. This is when the TOH is inserted to the phone.
