Useful Information

If you are not using the latest SFOS version and see a billion of Samsung partitions in Settings > Storage, do not mess with them.

Hardware Keyboard Layouts

RU, US and DE default layouts are now included since 3.2.x. Below links serve as examples to debug if the correct layout is not automatically selected when selecting your language in Sailfish OS. The links also show how to create your own layout, or use some more specific layouts made by the community (i.e., dead keys and such).

in general this device is quite modern and strong. Only the apn (photo part) is something poor I think...

Ideally would be fine if a brother could be done without the hard keyboard...

Does double tap to wake display working under sailfish os?

@Jk, no. It did in first releases of the port but needed to be disabled to circumvent a total screen freeze issue it caused.

To change from devel into testing branch, as root (devel-su), do:

nano /usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community.ini

change

adaptation-community = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/fxtec:/t5/sailfish_latest_%(arch)/

to

adaptation-community = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/testing:/hw:/fxtec:/t5/sailfishos_%(release)/

leave nano with ctrl+x and save with yes. Then

nano /usr/share/ssu/features.d/adaptation-community-common.ini

change

adaptation-community-common = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/devel:/hw:/common/sailfish_latest_%(arch)/

to

adaptation-community-common = http://repo.merproject.org/obs/nemo:/testing:/hw:/common/sailfishos_%(release)/

Lock orientation to landscape while hwkbd slide is open

This is possible by using Adam Piggs Taskswitcher app, available at openrepos.net.

  • The app creates a new settings item called Taskswitcher.
  • Set primary keyboard to "Fxtec Pro1", secondary to gpio-keys.
  • Activate "Lock Orientation on Slide"
  • Set Orientation to landscape
  • Activate "Start Taskswitcher on bootup"
  • restart (Stop/Start) Daemon

That's great! I really missed that. Anyway it would be even better, if the previously set orientation would be remembered. So I could set orientation to portrait mode and it only is going in landscape mode, when the keyboard is used.

At the moment when you slide in keyboard, the orientation is always set to dynamic. No matter what it was before.

Please! Post your suggestion to application comments to openrepos!

coderus ( 2020-05-20 00:13:59 +0200 )edit

This ^. I asked for the orientation lock feature on Openrepos and Adam eventually came up with the update, so the mighty dev and porters hear us!

@coderus: Your wish is my command ;)

Fingerprint hints

  • Make sure you are on >=3.3.0.16
  • If you have problems loosing fingerprints after reboot, or if they do not work after first unlock you may have to flash your persist partition. See the Issue on github for Details
  • Volume Down + Power --> fastboot flash persist /path/to/persist.img

For Bulgarian Phonetic layout, add this to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fxtec_vndr/pro1 as root:

default  partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "bgpho" {
    include "bg(phonetic)"

    name[Group1]="Fxtec Pro1 Bulgarian Phonetic";

    key <AD10>  { [ Cyrillic_pe,    Cyrillic_PE,      slash,      slash ] };
    key <AC09>  { [ Cyrillic_el,    Cyrillic_EL,   question,   question ] };

    include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};

Then issue these commands as nemo user:

dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/layout \"fxtec_vndr/pro1\(us\),fxtec_vndr/pro1\(bgpho\)\"
dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/options \"grp:alt_space_toggle\"
dconf write /desktop/lipstick-jolla-home/model "'fxtecpro1'"

Restart lipstick with systemctl --user restart lipstick.

In order to be able to return to US layout with Alt+Space, you need to also edit /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/bg and remove the SPCE remapping in the phonetic section. Looks like this:

key <SPCE> {   [ space,             space,
                 nobreakspace,      nobreakspace        ]    };

Comment it out like this:

// key <SPCE> {   [ space,             space,
//                  nobreakspace,      nobreakspace        ]    };

I think lipstick restart is not needed afterwards.
