now let's forget about the closed protocol Whatsapp, but for Telegram there's the Telethon library, and I am quite determined in writing a small app for N9, I don't foresee any particular problem, once I update my N9 system.

I'm looking for: OpenSSL (newer than 1.0), Python3 (newer than 3.1).

I need OpenSSL to get pip working, and I need Python3.5 because that's what Telethon requires. Oh, and the bindings for Qt. But then again what are we talking about, if we can't offer the newest tools to the developers, how do we think that developers will write programs for MeeGo or Maemo?

for Python3.4 (might be sufficient) I've been hinted at devel-extras, but where is that? my apt sources look like this, as of now, and I find this quite messy, totally not in the line of a normal debian system, or what I have on Maemo:

Code:

# CODeRUS mirror

deb https://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror/001 ./

deb https://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror/apps ./

deb https://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror/tools ./



# SDK repository

deb http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ harmattan/sdk free non-free

Being Telegram an open protocol, I think I would be comfortably able to get something running on both (or either) N900 and N9 (prefer N900 because of hardware keyboard). I started looking into Telethon, found it quite simple actually, at least if you don't expect a fancy graphical interface, but I am stuck with OpenSSL, because in order to install Python dependencies, I need a working `pip`. On my N900 I now have:

Code:

user@carlolus:~$ openssl version

OpenSSL 0.9.8zf 19 Mar 2015

and on the N9 I have:

Code:

user@theresia:~$ openssl version

OpenSSL 1.0.1g 7 Apr 2014

and I don't know where to find anything newer.

This is a package for maemo5/N900. http://maemo.org/packages/view/python3.4/
So for the N900 I would try to compile a new openssl best is to get a different devel package name like libssl1.0-dev. So go with debian package libssl1.0.0 which is a backported 1.0.2 version.
After this I would compile python3-openssl and python3-cryptography. The python3-cryptography should be compiled against the newer libssl which is obvious because it is linked to libssl1.0.0.

hi, thank you for the link, but on N900 things are quite nicely organized. I have python3.4, from the extras repositories, it's on N9 that I don't follow the logic of organization of repositories, and I doubt there is any.

I never got myself together and configured anything that would let me do what you describe. I compared the openssl.deb offered by by niel with the one already on the system, and I'm not so sure I want to replace it, not even after fixing file ownerships. I'd rather join a group determined to providing a complete OS update for N900 and getting it in the repositories. I have server space I can spare for such a project, at ghini.me.

but we're talking N900 and the thread says N9.

When you are ready to dig a bit deeper have a look at:https://wiki.maemo.org/Harmattan_Tips_and_Workarounds/

If device has been left untouched for too long may need to revive battery via Harmattan flasher:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=87709

Please bear in mind in view of age of device that it may be necessary to set date of device to between 2013 -15 quite early in re-commissioning if eliciting "signature check failed" at any stage.

1) Flashing if needed, have a look here for firmware:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96401 and here is source of Harmattan flasher:http://markom.lt/n9/firmwares/

2) Upon N9 open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.

3) Point N9 browser to this link to disable Nokia repositories after installation: https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror

4) Enable Developer Mode in Settings > Security which should install Terminal and SDK-Connectivity-Tool

5) Install N9QTweak: https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak

6) Redirect connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com to connectivity-test-ext.maemo.org via entry in hosts file:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...5&postcount=83

7) Disable Nokia account prompt when SIM in place:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=53

8) Bypassing Nokia account requirement in Maps & Drive:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...39&postcount=1

Bear in mind that while map data (2015) can still be downloaded via WLAN connection in Maps > Manage maps, in Drive you can no longer download navigation voices which would have to be installed manually. Map data can also be found for manual installation here:http://web.archive.org/web/201704101...02.54.223.html

For any Mac users you do need to use recursive command in Terminal to combine regions/states for manual installation of mapping data. Unfortunately this tutorial can no longer be brought up to date due to lack of sufficient privileges, but gives the idea:https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...c-cb77bcef0f06

Delving deeper remember that commonly used apps such as GPSMeeFo require you to reset date upon N9 to 2015 for installation and Coderus trusted Harmattan repository can be essential to track down missing dependencies when say installing BtInput app:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...66&postcount=1

At this point if not before you should install coderus aegis installer hack either via http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...79&postcount=1 or through N9QTweak Tweak EE > 2 (Coderus Aegis-install) to allow installation of apps. via

HTML Code:

aegis-dpkg -i

Emojifix - after installation of harmoji_0.6.6_armel.deb need to install ibsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel.deb and libsms-utils0_0.5.17.3+0m7_armel-mod.deb from here via Terminal:https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?...&postcount=132

Here is example of installing btinput where Warehouse seems to fail locating repository so dependencies have to be sourced manually:http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=98797

to solve evernote problem eveybody can use notekeeper ap wich accesible evernote database ı will add link so its not foundable evrywhere openrepos or warehouse..

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018

Hi there,

I just recently bought myself a N9 - and I'm amazed and thankful some people still use this georgeous. So thank you for your tutorial. Most of it actually worked :)

BUT - I still have a big Problem! - Somehow I am unable to receive Messages from iphones!
I've been searching the forum for quite a while now, but I was unable to find a solution - plus the "emojifix" is offline :(
Can you - or anyone else help? :(

Also: the Nokia prompt disabling didn't work...

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018

Hi there,

I recently got myself a nice N9 and I'm quite impressed - despite it's age.
Since Nokia Servers are down, I was following the instructions for Flashing, RepoMirror, Warehouse, etc. It all works fine, but:
SOMEHOW I AM UNABLE TO RECEIVE iPhone SMS?
I read about this "emojifix" - but looks like the server is down...
Is there any other way to fix this issue? :(:(

5) Install N9QTweak: https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak
What exactly does this N9Q Tweak do? In simple words? I am a graphic artist, not a programer ;)

7) Disable Nokia account prompt when SIM in place:http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...0&postcount=53
This one actually didn't work ...:(
_____________________________________
Last but not least: Does anyone know why I am unable to synch (via Mail for Exchange) my Google-account with the N9?
I always get "Password or User-name incorrect" or "No connection to server"

Thanks for your help.:)

Re: Re-commissioning N9 in 2018

Re N9QTweak: Don't use it if you have no idea what it does. You could, however, have a look at the pic on the right under your link. The tool bundles a couple of more or less usefull tweaks.

For everything else, i'd have to charge my N9 first.
