[Tutorial/No Root] How to remove the nav bar on Oreo to use swipe gesture apps.

Go to adb and issue this command:

adb shell wm overscan 0,0,0,-168

That command is for WQHD+ resolution, so if you're using a lower res, please adjust the last number in the command.

Tip - If you have other resolutions, to find the perfect value for your res, open Google Photos and delete a photo. There will be a confirmation prompt on the bottom of the screen. Use this to gauge how low you can go, you don't want to hide this prompt at all. If done right, you won't use much functionality at all.

Known Bugs & Fixes

   Lockscreen Phone and Camera shortcuts disappear. Fix: Refer to tip above. If done right they'll be hidden/cut off but still usable. Use a transparent icon theme to make it look ok.

   Replyingto instagram stories is a pain and something you'll have to live with.

   Force touch for home doesn't work. - Fix: Get this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draco.immersive, and hit "Immersive Nav Bar" after setting it up. That'll make the force touch for home function again.

Multiboot

The multi-boot mechanism works as follows.

Starting from a switched OFF Gemini, press the Esc (On) key to start the unit until the Gemini vibrates. Once you feel the vibration you can choose the boot mode by pressing the following key combination:

   Boot 1: This is the default booting option when no keys or buttons are pressed.
   Recovery Mode: Esc (On) is pressed. This will always boot into recovery mode.
   Boot 2: silver right-end side button is pressed.
   Boot 3: Both Esc(On) key and silver right-end side button are pressed at the same time

Keep the keys/buttons pressed until the screen turns ON.

Sailfish

If I swiped from the right, I got a lock screen button. Swiping from the left enabled the camera. The center always showed the rotating ring. Here's what I did that worked for me:

1) The Sailfish os is hidden in the debian linux.img, under /.stowaways You can boot debian and poke around in there to take a look a things.

2) On my linux machine (which I used to Flash the boot/system images), I mounted up the linux.img file in the firmware directory, and created a tar archive of sailfish os:

mount -t ext4 -o ro linux.img /mnt cd /mnt/.stowaways tar cjf /where/you/have/space/sailfishos.tar sailfishos 3) Then I rebooted the gemini into debian, went to /.stowaways, and nuked sailfishos. I then sftp'ed the sailfishos.tar from step 2, and extracted it. This resets sailfishos to it's initial state

4) Then I rebooted the gemini, this time into sailfish os, and this time didn't set a PIN. I went through the other initialization steps, logged into my jolla acount, and got the rotating ring again. However, when I rebooted back into sailfish os, it's working fine now.

I hope this helps.

I don't have a SIM installed yet because I'm waiting for Verizon Wireless to decide whether or not they're going to allow the gemini on their network. Until they do, I can't make calls on the gemini so I've gone back to my original phone.

Hi I also had the problem with the spinning loading screen after going through tutorial, I manage to solve it by trial and error:

I found a reported case of SFOS X doing the same as the community edition: https://together.jolla.com/question/169017/...after-tutorial/

But I couldn't really use that for anything, so I just redownloaded the linux image and the sailfish boot and tried different settings when activating the OS, each time it failed I just downloaded a fresh linuximage and sailfish boot to the device before trying again.

the time it worked, I had removed both sim card and memory card from my X27 device, I did not select a pin code I kept finish time zone I connected to local wifi I skipped the jolla account setup

instead of going through the tutorial I skipped it (press each corner of the screen in a clockwise motion - start with whatever sailfish thinks is top left)

for a few minutes I was stuck with the loader like before, but when I dragged sideways I got the main screen.
