Naamankajärvi 1.0.3.8 works fine, Mitäkuuluu Whatsapp client also


Good news for me and, I guess, all Jolla users. The latest software update 1.0.3.8 Naamankajärvi seems to work well, allows landscape mode in several apps and fixes MitaKuuluu problem that I experienced: when launching Android apps, they wouldn't start unless I shut down MitaKuuluu.
BTW it's a great Whatsapp client, check out - install from Openrepos.net. I did it with the following actions:


  1. Download the application using your Jolla browser, here's direct link: https://openrepos.net/sites/default/files/packages/26/harbour-mitakuuluu-0.1-24.armv7hl.rpm - I recommend you also check the developer's page and thank him on the way: https://openrepos.net/content/coderus/mitakuuluu. Thank you coderus!
  2. Enable developer mode so you get Terminal in the applications list - see pictures below. You must set a password - remember it, as you need it to gain superuser rights to install software!
  3. Open Terminal and enter the command
    devel-su to gain superuser rights
  4. command
    rpm -i /home/nemo/Downloads/harbour-mitakuuluu-0.1-24.armv7hl.rpm
    - here, /home/nemo/Downloads is the folder where you downloaded the application package and the latter part is the name of the package. You get the name automatically by pressing Tab key after typing the first few letters.
  5. Mitäkuuluu appears on your application grid. How cool is that! Start using it.
