May be something to do with conflicts between the older files installed to enable Play and Alien Dalvik. Interesting you mention updates though, as I previously did have the My O2 app installed, but now refuses to install, returning "Incompatible update."

Re. "My O2" - I just installed version 5.0 (2013-11-03) from 1Mobile Market. No sure version number from Play, but dated 30 Sep 2013..

Yes, it seems to be a bug that the Jolla menu thinks an app is uninstalling when really it's just upgrading. If you reboot your phone, it notices the app is still there and restores the icon.
If you install an Android launcher (Go Launcher has been suggested round here, works ok, but does occasionally pester you to buy extra features) then all the icons are present and correct in there.

Nice to know. I cant reboot (nfc fix ;) ) I installed a Apex launcer, bun now i thinking... the Play update works some poit... can it be that launcher?

@Faz do you use launcher as well?

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store

Hi,

How can I replace or edit the build.prop file to have all application enable?

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store

hmm, has anyone succeeded to install google play on a vanilla 1.0.2.5 install?

It crashes immediately for me, and there's nothing of value reported through /opt/alien/system/bin/logcat.

I've also (unsuccessfully) tried nuking /data/data/com.android.vending as well as dalvik cache(s) aswell as restarting the dalvik service.
Any ideas?

(Maybe it was because I started to delete unknown, unneeded packages found installed and shown in F-Droid or Aptoide, they probably installed as "needed" services with some apps. I'm still having problems with removing/stopping talk.back service though...) And the next error I got was "Incompatible update" for various apps...

Anyway, to get them fixed I had to completely clean and reinstall alien dalvik (including all installed android apps)

I haven't found any guide here, so here are additional files and folders to look for for a clean uninstall.

1. remove "Android Support" from Jolla Store
2. clean /opt/alien
3. also clean

Code:

/data/system/dropbox

/data/system/registered_services

/data/system/sync

/data/system/usagestats

/data/system/users

/data/app

/data/dalvik-cache

/data/data

/data/user

4.in /data/system/
delete

Code:

packages.list

packages.xml

uiderrors.txt

5. reboot

Install Android Support and Google Play again ;)

Edit:

You can also put the following into a script (I named it cleandalvik.sh for example)
You should be root so run devel-su when in terminal.

Code:

rm -rf /opt/alien/*

rm -rf /data/system/dropbox/*

rm -rf /data/system/registered_services/*

rm -rf /data/system/sync/*

rm -rf /data/system/usagestats/*

rm -rf /data/system/users/*

rm -rf /data/app/*

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache/*

rm -rf /data/data/*

rm -rf /data/user/*

rm -f /data/system/packages.list

rm -f /data/system/packages.xml

rm -f /data/system/uiderrors.txt

copy script to /home/nemo/Downloads
then

Code:

cd /home/nemo/Downloads

chmod a+x cleandalvik.sh

sh cleandalvik.sh

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store

Hey, even Google Now works. First time I'm trying this stuff.

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store

Instead of using Play Store, i use this: https://lekensteyn.nl/apk-downloader/

works great!

Re: Jolla Phone and Google Play Store

Isn't it just easier to click on install in Play Store instead of copy/pasting a link into a chrome plugin or webpage for downloading an apk and install it manually?
The apk is stored on the phone anyway so why all this trouble?
Or am I missing something here?
