For example what apps stores are there to compliment Jolla and the Yanex. Amazon for one but there are more. Please list any you have found.

Also one i would like to know is a way of syncing contacts from the N9. I have an N900 at work so maybe I could use that.... in a convoluted manner.

Recommended apps may be best for a separate thread?
Aptoide was hinted to me by a DNA employee, doesn´t require registration.

I managed to sync my contacts using the same advice as below.

I would advise people to get a mail.yandex.com account before their device arrives. Some people had issues signing up using their phone numbers on first launch. Logging in with an existing Yandex account eliminates the need for a phone number. The same goes for getting an Amazon account before installing the Amazon Appstore.

F-droid should work too, right?

Old ad-blocking methods apply on Jolla:

Get a hosts-file. Check that it does not contain anything fishy.

Enable dev mode. Set SSH server on and type the password.

In terminal type:
devel-su (the password was set in the SSH server configuration of DEV mode)

Backup and replace these files:
/etc/hosts
/system/etc/hosts
/opt/alien/system/etc/hosts

First is what Sailfish uses, the latter ones for Android.

Before replacing files it may be wise to add the original hosts file lines to the top of the ad servers blocking host file.

EDIT: Added /opt/alien/system/etc/hosts path. Seemed to help to get rid of the ad banner with Foreca app. Plain /system/etc/hosts helped with the Firefox. Hint for the alien dalvik path from the google apps installation instructions.

Success, I imported all my contacts from my N900. The transfer from the N9 did not work on Jolla or my Android tablet. I can only guess it is something to do with how the facebook/twitter integration in the contact lists works. Any contact without social links would work and those with ONLY social links would work, but merged or subsequently edited contacts (the majority of my address book) would not.

Could you elaborate on this?

I have not noticed any problems. All contacts, facebook integrated or not, were added from my N9. The new phonebook seems a bit more "simpler" than that of N9 or N900, but seems to work ok.

CuteSpotify is being ported to SailfishOS with cover system support.

Not sure I can Boxeri

I did have a lot of issues with my N9 address book which was forever unmerging and losing contacts. I think because many of the contacts were a 3 way or more, merge from my N900 (which used Hermes), plus Linked in and then add twitter and Nokia Contacts sync to that lot and it gets a bit of a mess. So now i have a fresh start and all looks promising.

Can't we sync contacts via CardDAV and calendar via CalDAV rather than bluetooth? Or are those protocols not supported yet?
