I would welcome a system on my device that does not need patching.

At all.

Wouldn't it be luverly if people like coderus or Ancelad could focus their attention to writing proper applications instead of being constantly distracted by supporting dozens of patches? Who knows, we might even get a mobile device one can actually use, not just one that looks nice.

But tinkering alone is the Linux way! "I don't like how X uses the comma, I'll just go and start my own distribution."

Having a device wich doesn't need patches, would be nice but unrealistic. That would be the KDE way, offering for everything different options. But than there will still be people which cry, to much options, keep it simple.

Well, it often is the Linux way, yes. And in my opinion this is both a blessing and a curse.

Updated list of non-conflicting Patches (which I have installed), and Patches conflicting with or being an alternative to them (which I have looked at, so far), for SFOS 2.1.4 with Patchmanager 2.3.3-10.41.1 (post #2367 was for SFOS 2.1.3).
Note that in order to install some of the Patches listed below from Patchmanager 2's web-catalog, one has to activate "Enable developer mode" in Patchmanager 2's pulley menu (so it shows "Disable developer mode" there), as a few the Patch authors missed to mark their Patches as compatible with this SFOS release; never mind, because if a Patch is really incompatible with the installed SailfishOS version, it will not apply when trying to activate it in Patchmanager's main menu.

Format: - <Patch name> <my rating>, <Patch author>, <Source: wc (Patchmanager2's web catalog) | RPM (e.g. via Storeman)> [, <alt (alternative) | cts (contains) | "cts" (contains similar or same functionality) | cnf (just conflicts)>: <Patch name> <my rating>, <Patch author>, <wc | RPM>]

"My rating" resolves as follows:
- (+): Nice to have
- (++): Very good
- (+++): IMO a must
No "rating" indicates, that I have not used this Patch long enough to rate it.

Patches listed as an alternative (alt) to and / or contained (cts / "cts") in a Patch implicitly conflict with it (i.e. they cannot be applied together in Patchmanager, as they are patching the same locations of the SFOS UI).

- Less home animations, cornerman, RPM

... or add this functionality:
- MazeLock, coderus, wc,
alt: Scramble lockpad buttons, coderus, wc

If you like to make more items available in the events-view quick-actions, take a look at the Patches by alina found via the search term quick action and at the "Non-Patches" by Markkyboy found via the search term quickaction at OpenRepos.
If you like alina's "Remove black ..."-series (suited for bright Ambiences), "... from dialogs and bars", "... from launcher" and "... from Browser background" are working together with above Patch list (in contrast to "... from remorse popup", "Status bar hint" and consequently "Integrative remove black", which conflict with Patches listed above).

Unfortunately, these Patches are not (yet) compatible with SFOS 2.1.4:
- Notifications count in Switcher (++), coderus, wc (last working under SFOS 2.1.2)
- GPS supplier (+; solely for Jolla 1 phones!), Schturman, RPM (last working under SFOS 2.1.0)
- Show month and days of the week heading in Calendar (++), pichlo, RPM (last working under SFOS 1.1.9)

P.S.: As YMMV (just as everybody's, including mine over time), please refrain from criticising my preferences (WRT chosen functionalities) or my (certainly) subjective "ratings".

And still, any suggestions to enhance this list are welcome.

P.S.: See updated list of Patches for SailfishOS 2.2.0 in post #2525.

Had it even started? In that case it'd probably have been beneficial to inform the community. I can hardly have been the only one who assumed Patchmanager had been abandoned, based on the fact that the last update to pm2 was in July 2017, and that there hasn't been a word from you in the corresponding OpenRepos thread since.

oh man, i'm not talking bs.

Closed alpha-testing of patchmanager 3. PM me your telegram nickname here or @icoderus

any solution or an update for mazelock to work?

It does work, provided you enable developer mode in the PM pulley menu.

@coderus, for (at least) the last couple of hours trying to retrieve https://coderus.openrepos.net/pm2/ (and subdirectories, e.g. ./projects/, ./project/*/) results in a "504 Gateway Time-out ".
Consequently Patchmanager 2 fails to retrieve its web catalog.

Side note: https://openrepos.net/ is working fine.

I fixed the issue in the back-button-gesture patch

I'll push the update as soon as the pm2-catalog is online again.

EDIT: Update is available now

I testet it on the pm3-alpha but most likely also works on pm2.
