Hehee, that is one of the hard-to-master, very essential skills; how to ask the useful questions!

dunno if the below is your problem, but it seems like it MIGHT be, if predictive text really isnt in your store:

you need to buy 1 license per device. if you use it on one device, and lose it and replace with a new device with a new IMEI, you need to contact jolla and ask them to clear the old IMEI from you license key.

both predictive text and aliendalvik will be missing from the store UNLESS you are logged in on a jolla account that has a license key that matches your current IMEI.

you can also just find+install the rpm without purchasing a license, if you enjoy stealing from the best android competitor that currently exists. (i did this, when i switched from X to Xcompact, so that i didnt have to bother asking them to remove my IMEI. i downloaded it on the old phone, copied it to the new, then reflashed android and sold the old phone)

I know. I just did not care enough, since I did not use the phone that much
I just considered it one of those things, like the audio is too quiet in vide recordings that everyone tells me is a known bug that no one cares to fix.

@wolke, Predictive Text was available for my X. I just did not know I needed it. I is not in Store when I visit it from my Jolla 1, but then it is not needed, since on that phone the keyboard has a dictionary. Curioser and curioser.

I am typing this on my fixed Xperia X with a keyboard with a dictionary. What more can an old geezer want?

Nice!

I'm glad your device did not bend or otherwice get damaged when the old battery ballooned up. Did you manage to get it back together to as fit a form it was originally or are there any cracks in the seams of the back cover?

No cracks. The puffed up old battery helped by popping the back cover for me. The cover holds just by a thin (~1 mm) strip of double-sided tape around the edge. I may replace it one day with a new one if I can be bothered, but for now it is good enough and anyway, I keep it in a flip case which helps to hold it together.

I spoke to a Samsung phone repairer the other day, and he said one little trick with reassembling phones is to heat it once you've put the back on again to get it to stick properly.
A lot of the vids only show that it needs heating to open them up.

Aahhh, that's sorted, then 15 minutes of playing my game heats it up enough

Hi all,
do you know if there is a way to change the screen lock of the android layer?
Some android apps do not work if there is no android screen lock.
I've tried with the Aliendalvik Control from @Coderus, but when clicking on "setting a screen lock", nothing can be done.

is there any app that starts a web server on a phone in a selected dir, so I can connect there and download files?

I know that python SimpleHTTPServer could do it, but maybe there's a gui app already...
