- Not having a gesture based keyboard on a
gesture based OS is baffling to me. I'm aware there might be license
restrictions preventing it from being on the free version of
Sailfish, but the prediction engine license for the keyboard on the
licensed version of Sailfish also includes gesture based keyboard
input. source #link above (sledges,

- Jonatan Walck, community member (jwalck,
08:06:18)
- There is already a post on TJC that has
gathered over 500 votes for it So it's not like it's not
popular. (sledges,

(sledges,
08:06:37)
- take OKBoard as reference (license is
permissive) to speed up development, not on roadmap, but wished for
inside Jolla as well, so let's hope for a swift (pun intended)
outcome! (sledges,
08:17:26)
- Configure app drawer (asked by nh1402 - 5min) (sledges, 08:17:56)
- Have the ability to reorder apps,
alphabetically ascending/descending, custom reordering, by
installation, let the user decide. (sledges,
08:18:25)
- this is though one, the interface should be
kept as simple as possible for most users while power users want
more features (sledges,
08:22:58)
- global and in-app search is IMO more important
than sorting (sledges,
08:25:24)
- app search app is "Quick launcher" in jolla
store for community to have fallback for now (sledges,
08:27:32)
- Glacier UI (FOSS Sailfish OS sibling) has app
search too (sledges,
08:28:09)
- Sailfish X storage space (asked by c_la - 30 min) (sledges, 08:29:54)
- it seems that there are only 18GB of disk space
available and that the data for system partition is only 2GB. I
believe there should be a discussion with sailors about it.

(sledges,
08:30:21)
- it is not possible to repartition the device,
hence we lose 7 GB worth of space in the Android's system partition
(that we only use for ~1.5 GB factory reset image, which cannot be
placed elsewhere) (sledges,
08:42:18)
- to the brave souls out there: (sledges,

(sledges,
08:51:32)
- no safe solutions exist to the two problems:
losing 7 GB to factory reset, and too small system partition
(rootfs); we'll have in mind to enlarge rootfs in future devices,
for now just install less apps and use SD card ;) (sledges,
08:54:50)
- General QA after sailfish X release (asked by c_la - 30 min) (sledges, 08:55:55)
- Internet Sharing has a workaround, that I think
will be included in releas notes for the time being: (sledges,

feature: (sledges,
