Showing all six. Wallpapers hasn't changed, but now using the Harmattan (N9) icons pack.

Though, if you read a few posts back (it's still in the same page you posted this, even) I posted something about HD recording and playback is now finally possible (although not quite smooth for some formats) and how to do it.

I think, except for a few hiccups, I can say that my experience with it is very, very fluid; and I like my Maemo that way thanks very much.

If the N9 had a QWERTY keyboard then I'll absolutely go crazy over it even though I know I won't be able to buy it at my present financial capability (I like mine in full cash, hard to follow with instalments...), but the lack of it is a real turn-off factor, but the N9 is still something nice if I can get one...

So, if I ever lose this one, I'll just go for another N900.

Some lazy time doodling.



... Hmm, I don't know, it seems to be a very difficult time for me if I have to choose a new phone; looking at nowadays trends looks like I'll have to go with the "leave it" as in "take it or leave it". The lack of sliding qwerty (or more correctly, lol-y-u-need-a-qwerty-we-ain't-making-one), saturation of the market with either iStuff or Androids, and Nokia going LOLweMicrosoftnow pretty much killed any hopes of a satisfiable new phone for me... and my sister.

Gentlemen,

While looking for it in Malaysia might be scarce and requires A LOT OF LUCK to find it, I wonder if anyone knows, or know anyone I can reach out to, or even you guys to help - I'm looking for a keyboard button replacement set. Something like this perhaps.

Some of my buttons are losing its symbols and my spacebar is now cracked, split into 3 fragments >_<

If any of you can help me with this thanks very much!

... Makes me feel so alone here. Man, I wish I can just swap out the entire N900 chassis and put the N9's internals into it.

Impossible plus I'm being super unreasonable, I know. But man, N950 is like my wet dream man

^ Say... did you try out the 720p hack I pointed out a few pages ago? That apparently includes the ability to record in 720p HD.

To be honest, though, it's a hack; therefore unstable but at least it was fun trying it out

I see. Too bad then >_<

The Maemo/Meego community were working on one as we speak, apparently, and progress so far is going good. Although I'm suspecting Whatsapp's relevance seems to be falling if I were to judge posts mentioning about it over there...

Just trying things out of random:

Slowpoke man

They already have modRana, and I and a friend have been using it for quite sometime now

Nothing much. Guess I should do a lot of talking now.

Also, new apps for N900 are now on the rise thanks to them running a developers' program - we now have a much more decent Facebook app (Kasvopus) and Twitter app (TwimGo3) thanks to www.substanceofcode.com

More new app developments are going on in TMO in preparation for the release of Qt 5 which will subsequently be used by Jolla which will make new devices for people like us N900 users

Oh, and CSSU now has a new branch - enter CSSU-Thumb2. To explain it will be too TL;DR, just go and read the first post (Basically, less RAM usage.)

And that's just tip of the iceberg.

Also I've downloaded and installed this week's Nemo Mobile on my MicroSD card, though it is by no means for everyday use just to play-play around, kind of test drive only. At least I can make and receive calls. Definitively a platform you'd better be off developing and testing software on hardware with, and this is by no means an upgrade to our Maemo, bear that in mind.

Kasvopus has gone quite some way from that I guess. Only bugger is notifications not working yet. Otherwise it's a keeper for me.

Nemo's platform is still not mature for normal user use, and was never intended to. Even as a tester who knows at least how to get around things to get them to work, the most I've accomplished so far in making it "usable" is being able to make and receive calls and SMS. Even then those functions are working in it's most frugal form (you know, the basic "dial the number" work) and are by no means complete. Also note my quotes in bold, I'll say that again just in case you skipped it:



Also, they're not using DEB, so you can't take DEBs meant for Maemo (or Meego Harmattan) and use it there. They use RPM instead, and uses zypper as their equivalent to Maemo's apt-get. Pretty much what you can get in Meego Netbooks.

... In the meantime, I've given up on Yappari because LOLWhatsApp does not let me register in anywhere else except their official client, which cannot be installed on the N900 (at least natively. I don't want to go so far-far only to get that one stuff working). What weirds me out even more about them is that they can make it for Symbian S60!! So in the end my sister who's using an N97 Mini can use it, while I just nganga only. Bah!!!

Because S60 has more devices than Maemo and Meego. Presumably there was supposed to be more Maemo/Meego devices but thanks to Nokia's attitude...

Read this man: http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/the-story-of-nokia-meego

No, no, they're not going to release the device. Too soon for that.

What they're going to do next month is show the software first. Kind of a demo of how Sailfish (Jolla OS) will look like and function. Not device. They'll announce expected device availability much later.

As the author of Apkenv himself says, NITDroid is much more practical for that. It's like you're trying to run WINE for Windows apps on Linux when it is much more practical for the app to run on its native platform. That Apkenv is just a compatibility layer on top of Maemo, it doesn't really run the app natively like you would on an Android device.

^ I think I've been pretty obvious about it on my post up there.

What version of Yappari are you running?

Your home folder is, /home/user, no surprise.

By normal means you won't be able to access this folder on other machines except you use SSH or SFTP.

Locally (on the phone) itself you'll be able to access it via the terminal, so to put a rundown of what you need to do:

Figure out config folders of apps you don't really use anymore. Highlighted that in red and in bold, because it's important so that you do get to know what's inside the /home/user/ folder. One mistake for one app and your settings for that one app all goes ka-pish. Those folders are usually hidden and they usually have a period ( . ) prefix before the folder name. Identify those folders and delete them.

By the way do take note some folders especially /home/user/MyDocs. This folder is where your N900's internal storage is, and the one you usually access when you plug in your N900 via USB Mass Storage mode on PC.

Also one of the possible causes of lag (may vary from person to person) is because of your uptime, where heavy swapping occurs between the phone's internal RAM and the swap memory of the phone. Usually what I'd do is a reboot when the lag gets too unbearable (I've missed several calls thanks to it!).

One more thing: I recommend issuing the command (as root):



in order to clean the files your app installers (Application Manager, Faster Application Managers, apt-get, what have you) have downloaded.

Oh, also as a heads up to you guys still expecting updates and new stuff from the Maemo.org guys - N9 peeps also take note:

As of current, Maemo.org's auto-builder service is currently down, they'll need time to get it back up before we can hope to see any new updates and stuff.
