Hey,

I have flashed my Peak with the latest stable image from Geeksphone
(2013-06-13),
but it is impossible to install a working version of the latest gaia
(master branch).

I have tried all these options:

installing gaia with make install-gaia.
latest gaia wil be installed, but SMS app won't work and no app will find
anything on the SD Card.

installing gaia with make reset-gaia.
same as with install-gaia.

installing just a few apps with APP=... make install-gaia
the Device starts always with the old version of the just installed apps.

what exactly am I doing wrong?

Jovan

It's not clear whether you are experiencing those issues with the latest
stable image from geekpshone or with master.

Please note that my Peak with the very same latest stable works on the
points you describe.

However, gaia master currently lacks a patch that matches a gecko master
change about SIM unlock, so that might be your issue.

the missing patch would explain the problem with the SMS app,
but I can make calls, it seems as if only the SMS app has problems.

Still, I do not understand why the SD card does not work properly?
If I take a screenshot or a photo, it will be saved, but it won't read any
data...

The problems only occur with the latest master, with the latest stable
image everything works fine.
I was just not sure if it's important I have the latest B2G.

Hi Jovan,

When you run |make install-gaia| or |make reset-gaia|, by default it
installs apps for an "Engineering build", while you got the phone
configured in the "User" variant. These modes don't mix and match well,
so you need to set B2G_SYSTEM_APPS=1 before running |make install-gaia|.
The other simple option is to run |make production| instead.

The other issue is that mixing gaia master with the version of gecko you
have on a stable build is not supported either. You should do that on
top of a nightly build since they come with a mozilla-central build.

Thank you Fabrice,
got it now with the latest nightly image and 'make production'.
last problem is I can't move any app icon, mostly the background source
pop-up appears.
Sometimes switching in to "edit mode" works but it is very slow and it's
impossible to move a icon.

Confirmed. You're likely running into the the issue I introduced, filed and
patched several days ago—the issue is that I'm still waiting for reviews to
land the fix patch and its dependency patch.

Dep: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/10301/files#L3R276
Fix: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia/pull/10374

Hopefully this will be resolved by EOD Monday.
