These are my notes after using Glacier UI for a day on Jolla

These aren't sorted in any way I'm just adding to the list as I encounter things

  • Call doesn't stay in front (incoming) but raises the phone app instead
  • Browser opens okay via tweetian
  • Fingerterm doesn't open okay via shellex
  • Last used app not first in card view
  • Pin entry falsely claims no pin required when pin entered for the first time.
  • Pin entry dialog should go away automatically
  • Locking and unlocking via the button brings the last app over the lock screen
  • Browser shortcuts have no icons
  • Opening new link in tweetian when browser is open diesn't bring it to the front
  • Landscape doesn't work
  • Transparent notifications, that don't resize the window


Showstoppers ranked by severity

1. Browser doesn't launch from homescreen

workaround: Install tweetian and open a link. Don't close the browser, and you will have a usable session
workaround2: Use webcat

2. Landscape doesn't work

3. Locking and unlocking via the button brings the last app over the lock screen: Important as it might lead to accidental calls

workaround: always lock when in homescreen. By forgetting the button and only using the gestures the problem doesnt manifest

4. Call UI hides behind phone application when call is incoming: might cause to miss a call
