Master Coderus: does not work on fresh 4.x, although when updated from 3 when already installed before it works (or kept the setting)

Coderus: Phonehook developer (omnight) has found a way to keep his app working even when Sailfish devs haven't fixed the overlay issue yet. Maybe his workaround is valid for BO2 too.

hi, i have a proper fix for overlays, but no time yet to make builds

App does not work with Sailfish 3.4.0.24 on my Sony Xperia XA2. When starting the app the display gets completely black, only showing the battery overlay bar. I need to reboot or connect via ssh and restart lipstick.

thanks, added note to description

@coderus the comment was for real but having completely removed the program,restarted and reinstalled the latest version it does now work. This is great and thanks for whatever you did.

Thanks for the comments about installing nemo-qml-plugin-contextkit-qt5 to fix this. Unfortunately for those of us who are just users of the software rather than coders this doesn't really provide an answer. Googling this plugin doesn't produce anything. @coderus where do you find this fix please and how would you install it? Thanks.

is ths for real?

Thx for the update. Now it works like it did before.

@coderus confirming that manual installation of nemo-qml-plugin-contextkit-qt5 solves problems in 3.3.

I tried and like this on 3.2.1 back in march or april 2020, but i noticed it didnt show up automatically. I kept having to open the app to get it to work instead of it being automatically at the top (or right of the screen) i eventually uninstalled it.

nemo-qml-plugin-contextkit-qt5 requires kf5bluezqt-bluez5-declarative, which on myJolla phone conflicts with kf5bluezqt-bluez4-declarative.

Doesn't work on Jolla C and Jolla 1 after Update to 3.3.

ninepine's picture

Seems to be broken after upgrade to Sailfish 3.3 on XA2 which is a pity as it's very useful.

Works after manually installing nemo-qml-plugin-contextkit-qt5.

Bobsikus's picture

kljunas2: where did you get the needed packages kf5bluesqt-bluez ? do you run it on Jolla 1?

kljunas2's picture

Didn't need to do anything for it. But I am using XA2.

coderus's picture

good!

/home/nemo/batteryoverlay.autostart does not seem to do the trick, is there a new method?

ghostpepper61's picture

This also didn't work for me. I did some digging and discovered that the file "/home/nemo/.config/systemd/user/harbour-batteryoverlay.service" references the previous batteryoverlay app. If you change batteryoverlay to batteroverlay2 in the [Service] section and reboot, autostart should work.

From:  ExecStart=/usr/bin/harbour-batteryoverlay daemon

To:  ExecStart=/usr/bin/harbour-batteryoverlay2 daemon

Awesome, thanks a lot.

Доброго времени суток, дайте инструкцию или пищу для ума где отключить стоковый индикатор заряда, сама пыталась...тело уходит в бутлуп. В идеале стоковую иконку зарядки бы заменить на, что то на подобие Network Usage(индикатор скорости сети), но ничего подобного для SFOS не нашла
