Snow white request for installation [answered]
asked 2018-02-13 01:02:41 +0300
Over 2 years I am using the Jolla1 phone, since three month SFOS 2.1.3.7 is installed, but I never ever had such "request" while using the phone/UI. Yesterday, an UI install-suggestion shows up, while being in the clock application. It suggests to install "Snow White" (seems to be unrelated to the actual interaction (clock application)). It seems to be more related to "ambienced" and TOH ... despite that I see that ambience-snow-white is not installed - just curious:
- What triggers such request in the UI?
- Does someone had the same experience?
- Why does it appears "now" (is it timed)?
- Are other "packages" the same way suggested?
- More questions ...?

Answers to your questions (just my observations):
Let SnowWhite install and it won't bug you anymore (you don't have to select it).

Also, removing or replacing the TOH (the other half) will trigger this installation prompt, as will installing an ambience from a downloaded/saved RPM.
No, I only see this menu if I remove my TOH, even if it is already installed (bug).
It's not timed, it's only triggered by removing the TOH, or by installing an ambience via an RPM package.
All ambience packages share this particular menu. Generally, when a package is installed from a downloaded/saved RPM file, the install menu always appears at the top of the screen with appropriate text/info of the package.
Are you saying you have never seen this prompt before now, ever...?
