Your happy day.

Just install Warehouse openrepos client and you find Meerun and many more applications not in store yet.

Any way to keep it applied even after reboot? I want a constant performance boost

I unexpectedly found something neat that I could do on the android side of Jolla phone: Open up tabs in the android app Boat Browser as floating resizable windows. This is the first I've seen of a floating window on the Jolla phone.
You can also do a pinch and zoom in the window in case the text is a bit microscopic for you. The only down side is I can only do this for a week unless I buy the pro version... Regardless, this begs the question (actually two) 1)What other apps can open as floating window on Jolla? and 2) Is there a way to connect to monitor via usb to hdmi using Jolla phone since with floating windows you are beginning to get a pc experience?

Nice one, could you resize them and place two browser windows side by side?

Sure. I'll try it at home tonight and post. Will compare both portrait and landscape. Just for you I'll even try copying and pasting between windows and let you know the result

Thx,

It's not copy & paste. It's more like: almost never copy & sometimes paste

Ok. Here goes.

1)First good news then the bad news. Good news. First image shows you can copy and paste text. Now the bad news, you cannot copy and paste in the floating tabs except for the url box. Boat browser does not have this feature. I also tried this on my Galaxy Note 3 and it didn't work there either so this feature is missing from the app. Sorry about that Dave999! One bright spot, you can copy and paste in multiple nonfloating tabbed screens you can create.
2)In portrait you cannot put images side by side and resize them such that they fit the screen. However they can be side by side with part of the window outside the main screen (not shown).
3)Top and Botton layout like multiview on galaxy note looks pretty good
4)Also Side by side in landscape works.

Just a couple more notes about the floating tab features. If you look at the x in the top right corner of the floating window you will see two rectangles to the left of it. The first one, when pressed makes the window go full screen. If you press the same relative place when full screen (you'll now see two overlapping rectangles that you press) it will go back in size to the original floating window. This is nice! The next box to the left does not properly work on Jolla. On my galaxy note, when pressed it puts window in background
and you can reopen in by going to the notification bar. I like this! Unfortunately on Jolla phone it just closes the window.
Another thing is you can't open, say, youtube from the browser and make it a floating tab (at least I couldn't get it work). But you can stream videos from other sources like cnn in a floating window.

So there you go. Hope you found this useful

EDIT: I added one more shot of a side by side to show how they fit the screen. Btw both images of Michael Jackson were streaming simultaneously on the screen.

Glad I inspired you to dust off your Jolla phone. You can also copy and paste using the android yahoo mail. Might try the yahoo messenger service as well. I'm still trying to find an office app I can sideload to edit Microsoft files but no luck yet. Could someone point me to instructions on how to get the Google Playstore working on the Jolla phone. Could then test many more apps I've purchased license to. I know many folks here hate android but for me it is just a case of functionality. Being able to run Android apps on Jolla phone is really a great feature and should be further developed. It is why I haven't bothered trying to run sailfish on other android phones as they don't support Dalvik. I hope this is not lost in future Jolla phones. I also hope data frequencies will work with carriers in US like tmobile in future. Otherwise Jolla phone remains a toy I play with and can't really use as daily drive (among other reasons)
