Re: Rumored Samsung Linux Device "Better" than N900, Says Eldar

Everyone seems to be immediately defensive of Maemo here (and why not, this is maemo.org) with this new "competition" coming to town. Maybe, this isn't necessarily a bad thing to have Samsung...

Re: Mupen64Plus emulator

It may not be the same, but I wonder if using the N900's gyro sensors might make it just as usable and enjoyable.

I mean seriously: Your friends are touting their big name phones and you walk up...

Mupen64Plus emulator

Looks like the N900 might eventually get the ability to play N64 games using the Mupen64 emulator compiled for ARM. Apparently, the big hold up at the moment is a lack of OpenGL ES drivers:...

Re: How can *you* help getting Maemo 5 in shape

There was a discussion a while back about all of this. I'll use the example of Maemo mapper which was brought up a page back or so. But, Nokia has basically been so discreet with what will be...

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 New Tablet/Smart Phone Pictures And Specification - Revealed

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it won't have the ability to swap battery's...the battery size is probably a way for nokia to have made the device cheaper (as is the screen size) and...

Re: Nokia N900 RX-51 New Tablet/Smart Phone Pictures And Specification - Revealed

Luckily, there were indications (possibly last year's summit???) a while back that Nokia was planning for Maemo 5 to be more of a family than any single device. If said information were true, it...

Re: N900 specs revealed

The problem with that email correspondence could be the fact that the next device isn't going to be called N900. The N900, could be a concept for the next tablet device or it might not be. Perhaps...

Re: What woud you realistically like to see in the N900?

Which is why I keep hoping (though seriously doubt) the N900 will have OLED. I'd gladly pay the extra for the thinner device with longer battery life (due to less consumption by the screen during...

Re: Mer 0.12 released

I've tried Mer on my Flash and on the SD card. The SD card version is a bit faster, but the flash version is usable. I didn't do any real tests but it seemed that I mostly noticed the speed...

No. But it seems like duct tape can fix about anything. So, I figured.."Why not try it?"

Re: swap and Mer installation questions

1.) Turning on swap should help make your system run better if you are in the habit of running multiple programs simultaneously. I don't think that running the OS off of the sdcard will make it run...

Re: any way to uninstall mer?

I'm not quite sure what you mean. Mer isn't installed into Maemo, so you can simply remove or reformat the drive that Mer is on and you can use that drive for whatever you'd like after that.
