Hi sailors, as Sailorgram stopped working since 2.1.0 Lijoki, I am not upgrading my Sailfish OS anymore. I managed to make it work on 2.13 Kymijoki using the recompiled version by ade I found on openrepos: link text

Now I don’t dare to upgrade any further because a native, solid Telegram client is vital to me.

My question is: can anyone tell if Sailorgram in the version I am using is working on 2.2.0??

In case it is not working, I have already started considering other NATIVE alternatives.

Depecher seems promising and active. Any of you can confirm it is working properly (deamon and notifications) on 2.2.0?

At the moment of writing Telegram Desktop cannot be installed Telegram on 2.2.0, see comments here: link text

while the Sailorgram fork from Coderus seems to have some connection problems: link text

Thanks for any info you can add for a working client on 2.2.0

Depecher works stable and fine for me on 2.2.0.29. Openrepos says: "No deamon yet". But notifications work while app is running. Just try it on 2.1x ;-) If it does what you expect from it, it will work on 2.2.0, too.

@jcoder thanks for your answer. Good to know the app won't change behaviour on 2.1x or 2.2x. If while I keep the app open I get both sounds and led notification, I'll give it a try.

Oh wow, I haven't even known about Depecher. After latest update (and switch to Xperia) I had to install android client. Not using that anymore, thanks!

@Jannsoni I also get surprised at how much work is done by developers that does not get the credit or recognition it deserves. Especially on this platform. Glad you could ditch one more Android app :)

@abhishek9650 Thanks, that is great news. I am looking forward to it, but I'd never ask or expect anything from people working for the community in their free time ;)

Great! I'm using build 1.1.23 from openrepos on 2.2.0.29 and it crashes when sending media or using the reply function. I hope a newer build can fix that...? Telegram Desktop is really the way to go on Sailfish!

Still soon?
