953406 - [keon] dialer and text messages don't stick to hot area after updating from 1.2 to 1.3

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 958939

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Homescreen, defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

After updating my keon from 1.2 to 1.3, the dialer, text, contacts and browser disappeared from the lower section of the homescreen - the one that sticks when you page between screens.

I can customize them back in, but they keep dropping on each reboot, and the bottom area comes up empty.

I don't see anything in logcat.

QA Wanted - Can someone check if this reproduces on an OTA update on Leo from 1.2 to 1.3?

This issue does reproduce when updating via OTA from 1.2 to 1.3 on a Leo device. The icons are removed from the Dock after the update. No matter what icons I put into the Dock, it will be empty after a reboot.

Okay - that confirms this can happen on a production device, so this is a blocker.

Jason, can you confirm if this is a systemsfe bug? (need to add whiteboard tag if it is)

I think so. This looks like a regression specifically with the homescreen, so I'd expect someone like Cristian to know why this is failing.

I tried to reproduce this by doing:

git checkout v1.2
make reset-gaia
# rearrange homescreen, place a new shortcut in the dock
git checkout grid # based on master
make install-gaia

AIUI either this bug also depends on the different Gecko versions, or my steps aren't equivalent to an OTA update. Is there a way I can do an OTA update to a custom build?

Did you try to modify the homescreen on 1.2? I wonder if it's triggered when having user data, but not if it's just default data.

Comment 9

[Reuben Morais [:reuben]]

Yeah, I moved some icons around and added FM Radio to the dock.

We do now have gecko-update-full, gecko-update-fota and gecko-update-fota-full build target for this kind of purpose :)

For the FOTA targets, you need a device on which the recovery partition contains testkeys so that your update.zip signature will work. As far as I know, this is the case on Keon and Peak at least, and it can be flashed for Buri from Teleweb.

You say that as if the B2G build system made any sense. I see those targets in gonk-misc/Android.mk but I have no idea how to trigger them.

Do all images in the Teleweb thing have testkeys on the recovery partition? I originally flashed this phone using that tool, but that was a while ago.

Just ./build.sh <target>. All those three will produce a .mar file in the end, that you can use for example with:
$ python tools/update-tools/test-update.py <mar>

No idea :(

FYI I do remember hitting this issue a while ago. I'll try and have a look today.

[Julien Wajsberg [:julienw]]

This is probably bug 958939, Cristian has a patch there already.

Alexandre is checking whether this fixes this bug too.

Comment 16

[:gerard-majax]

It is indeed a dupe: applying patch of bug 958939 fixes this one.
