    I accidentally bricked my Volla and need 3 files from the unity8 folder to fix it.

        @domubpkm Great to hear that there are several Volla notch fixes. Is your fix similar to the fix that @kugiigi is developing or is the approach different?

          @gt I use https://github.com/JamiKettunen/lomiri-notch-hax. I don't know and don't know what @kugiigi 's method do.

            When i run the notch fix on my Volla , i always apply :

              sudo mount -o remount,rw && sudo apt update && sudo mount -o remount,ro
            

            The above line is totally unnecessary for applying the fix, as it literally does not do anything to the state of the device, except maybe use up some device storage space with an updated packages index cache.

              Well, this line has always been essential to me for the Volla in the event of an OTA update ! πŸ™‚

                @domubpkm Hah, I see I am the one that suggested the line... I feel somewhat silly now.

                The reason I thought it was redundant was that I scanned the script visually on my phone and didn't see any apt commands. Now I look at it more closely on a bigger screen I see then n lines 47 and 48.

                Even so, the line suggested should now still be redundant because sudo apt update is done on line 47 of the script.

                Maybe you could try the script without the suggested line at the next OTA update and see if that works now.

                  @arubislander What you said is correct so don't feel embarrassed. In fact, I always try first without this command line to test. And if the notch fix doesn't apply, I use it. Anyway, I stay on RC, so in my case, the question does not arise. This is mainly to advise other users in case.. πŸ™‚

                    I applied the patch by Jami Kettunen and it works fine on Volla with OTA-23.

                      @gt Cool, do you still want to test mine? You'll have to remove your current notch fix though. Also, can your run this and give me the result? Thanks

                        @kugiigi Thanks, I can still test your fix. The command gives me "yggdrasil".

                        The patch by Jami Kettunen works well, though. I will compare his an your fix and see which I like more πŸ™‚

                          @gt Here's the steps for my script for installing my patch. Run these from the terminal.

                          1. wget https://github.com/kugiigi/jerk-installer/releases/latest/download/jerk.zip -O ~/Downloads/jerk.zip
                          2. unzip ~/Downloads/jerk.zip -d ~/jerk
                          3. ~/jerk/jerk setup

                          I don't know how to send you the actual package though since it's not allowed here πŸ˜… Do you have telegram or matrix?
