agreed. patchmanager is NOT EQUAL with patches it applying.

Can we just paste the github content somewhere on our devices or will we have to wait for someone to provide a rpm?

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

Yep, you can.

/usr/share/patchmanager/patches/

Folders are named base-something and adv-something for base and advanced patches respectively. The contents are the same.

Make sure you only replace uninstalled patches.

Built some RPMs - in the original post above. Not tested. Also make sure to disable all affected patches before installation.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

so did the silly thing of updating without unapplying the patches, none lf them remove now and.i've tried uninstalling the packages

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

Are you on update 9? The old patches can't be installed on it and the new patches can't be installed on the old one.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

I was on 9, i updated to teh latest one with the patches installed, i try to disable them from latest version(am guessing update 10) but i get a failed. I can see the patches arent in effect though

Hi! This is crutch i did for me.
Makes launcher 5x6. But permanently can't unapply patch.
Just replace /usr/share/lipstick-jolla-home-qt5/launcher/LauncherGrid.qml with this one. Don't forget to backup this. Then go to PM and restart services.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

I am not sure about the removing of patches before update, why is that necessary in the first place? Update 9 was quite extensive which means it overwrites pretty much all the qml files that are patched; why is it necessary to unapply the patches before upgrade?

Reapplying the patches after the upgrade is a different thing alltogether, that should not be done until you have new patches that are compatible with 1.1.0.39 Uitukka.

Re: [WIP] App / Tweak: patchmanager a system-wide patching system + homescreen tweak
 

I wanted to be on the safe side by placing the warning. However, if he had the old patches applied, then he didn't have update 9 in the first place.
