I suppose that during this transitional phase and while HTML isn't 'quite' there yet, some stop gaps would be nice to allow us to still access certain features that may only run on flash maybe?

But there are many other options now to help make the transition to HTML less 'painful'. All the major OS's including android, IOS and even windows phone (gasp!) have apps or web browsers available that can enable some kind of flash functionality without the full official Adobe support, if indeed you need it.

It may even be possible to run some of these android-based 'stop gaps' on Sailfish via the inbuilt compatibility layer?

If the 2 major OS's (Android/IOS) have both dropped full Adobe flash support long ago, it's time to accept that flash on mobiles is going to die, and that train left the station a long time ago, so the sooner we can all board it and leave behind the under performing, browser crippling, flash technology the better don't you think?

Such a feature is generally a minor setting in most email clients, but can anyone confirm this is the case for the native Sailfish email application?

(As this is a feature that I'll set once and forever for a given account, this can be done through config. files editing if there is no GUI for it)

Thank you!

For instance, is it easy to access and edit the hosts file, or is there something like an ad blocking service in the native browser, or in another one?
As concerns the email program, is there for instance the possibility to "not download" images or other urls, leaving it to the user to decide on a case-by-case basis?

Thank you, and all the best to Jolla!

seeing that Jolla launched their harbour for developers to submit their apps, it made me a bit sad that there are still no icon templates provided by Jolla.

This is why I decided to design some in style of official icons seen in Jolla image/video footage.

They are all available in SVG format, so you can easily export them to any size without quality loss. Just change the gradient on them to a color you like.

Remind that launcher icons are 90x90 in size and store icons are 86x86.
Update 21 November: Next SDK Update will change launcher icons to 86x86, apps submitted with 90x90 will be rejected on Jolla Harbour. So export in 86x86. Will Update SVG files on Github soon to match page size too, so no acciddently wrong exported ones can happen.

If you want to test the google applications, you have to install them separately (get used to that, for your jolla :D).
