As much as I would like to do it (and have faith in the community) I have doubts on the fact of it being worth it without Nokia store :(. To my knowledge, Nokia store is the only good distribution spot for N9 apps left..
But then again, better than letting if die of dust in some disk..
Edit : I assume providing a patched version of the aplifed to the store (as a free app) is not an option as well?

Re: N9 Uninstall scripts

Why is your application so critical that it can not wait 2-3 minutes for it to start? Most people are not constantly rebooting their phone, I think.

Re: N9 Uninstall scripts

Ofcourse there is a way to inject yourself into prestarted list if you implement that in settings UI where you can choose what mode to start in and most likely you can even pass QA since in that way deb package is not using any unallowed paths.

BUT, unfortunately for you, I won't be telling how to, since /etc/init/apps is imho enough for normal apps.

It is not that "critical", really - nothing extraordinary.
But the fact that it is not available from minute 0 defies the purpouse of the app... Just pushing hard to get my vision through here, nothing else really :).

EDIT : Just a side note, I am not trying to say that UpStart is not good; on the contrary, upstart would be great as well if it could get my app up as soon as the homeview is on. I am forced to find other solutions, in order to get the app to run as expected, as UpStart does not seem to just be the solution I am looking for.
