Can we know why ? :confused:

I've edited my post, they did not contact me NOW, they contacted me last time when they sent me N950.

No, I guess that the courier company will contact you when your device arrives. Btw last couple of times when I received devices (E7 and Lumia 800) from Nokia they were shipped with DHL. Hope they will rely on DHL again.

leon.anavi: thank you. From your experience, did it take 2-3 weeks for the device to be sent or (hopefully) less?

I don't remember exactly but it was at least 2-3 weeks.

Hi sakya, don't worry it hasn't been forgotten :) As mentioned here we'll sort out bounty shares as soon as we know the devices are being sent out as expected.

Quote:

Once everything looks good and devices are being sent out we'll sort out the bounty prizes. A big thanks to you guys for being so patient.
The idea for the delay is that we want to make sure the device prizes are being sent as expected before dividing up the bounty, so we don't end up in an awkward situation later where someone may not be eligible for a device after all but we've already spent the bounty and can't reward them.

Thanks for continuing to be patient, I know things have dragged on longer than expected. It shouldn't be too long before we hear devices have been sent out/ starting to be received. Sharing out the bounty will be very fast in comparison :)

A minute ago I received an email from DHL that informs me about Electronics with Lithium-ion batteries sent by Nokia from Finland and travelling to my address. I guess that this is the 2012 Coding Competition prize, isn't it? I'll notify you as soon as I know more details.

Just received notification from Nokia with DHL tracking number :)

Thanks for the update guys, that sounds promising :) ^^

(Fingers crossed for Halftux that his arrives before he leaves on his travels)

Sender domain is nokia.com
I got it 2 hours ago :)

Now I am pressing refresh, like a maniac, every second on DHL tracking page :D

Can't wait that package :D

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
I don't know if it's relevent, but everyone who has mentioned they received a notification from DHL have been N9 winners. Is there anyone who is expecting a N950 with a shipping notification yet?

When i received my n950, i was surprize that it takes a bit less than 24h.

They travel mostly during the night, and i got it before tracking say it was in france :)

Just to avoid confusion, I got email 2 hours ago, not device.
Right now it is still in Finland (but it is traveling inside that country).
I think it should be here this week - will report when device arrives :)

Hm, no Email so far... perhaps today. Lets hope the best! :)

According to the tracking number that I have my prize is already in Bulgaria. I guess I'll receive it at the end of the day or tomorrow.

Mine is in Belgrade, now I need to sign some papers because Serbia is not in Europe Union.
Shouldn't take more than 3 days to received (at least that was said to me on phone).

N950 shipping notification received here, too.

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
Now that I'm getting my N950, my first task is going to be to try to get Bluetooth PAN tethering working to my iPod Touch and Nexus 7. For this, I may need to compile/recompile BlueZ.

I have no idea how the development process works on Harmattan. I know there is scratchbox for it. Qt Creator can be used as well. But how does packaging work and what is the equivalent of
Code:

apt-get source <packageX>
Are there repositories similar to extras-dev, testing, extras? Is there an autobuilder?

I see threads about Open Mode, Developer Mode, etc. Is there a wiki article that explains all this? Based on superficial research around the tmo site, it seems the Harmattan documentation is nowhere near the level of Fremantle.

DHL MAIL received !! for N950!

The scratchbox SDK builds packages too as does QtCreator...

The .DEB packaging thread for the n9 is similar to the n900 one

There is a repo by Rzr for packages already available and some other packages...Harmattan SDK repo...

You can use the OBS in appsformeego too

Yes, the documentation for Harmattan is lesser sadly...

Developer Mode gives you access to dev tools and terminal (disabled by default)

Open Mode allows you to bypass Aegis (a "security" watchdog)

You may read more about it here


Lastly, welcome aboard! Its good to see more developers coming over :D

Great to see so many people receiving their DHL shipping notices and devices! And wow.. 64Gb versions of the N9 too.. I didn't expect that, I hope it's the same for everyone :)

I asked a similar question on the Meego.com forums once, anyways here's how you go about building BlueZ in the Harmattan SDK:

Quote:

To build it in the Harmattan SDK:

Code:
Code:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get source bluez
$ cd bluez-4.91/
$ dpkg-buildpackage -rfakerootIf

"apt-get source" complains about missing build dependencies then install them with "fakeroot apt-get install <dependency1> ... <dependencyN>".
Thanks to forum user 'Im' for the steps. I never built it myself as I didn't have a Linux development machine at hand and just learned to use the Qt rfcomm API instead (I only need the serial port profile). I did raise a bug report for the missing the BlueZ bluetooth profiles though but it was shot down as a "won't fix".

I see the word "bricked" in the open mode thread. This scares the hell out of me with the N950.

Is there another way to get around security in stock kernels? What is this "inception" I'm reading about and how does that relate to this?

Will I need any of the non-stock modes to possibly get bluetooth-PAN working?

Thanks!

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
DHL email recieced here too! I guess no 2-3 weeks wait... :D

Already downloaded the leaked P.R1.3 firmware to flash the n950.

BTW, as a begginer to MeeGo / Harmattan I (and probably others) would like to ask:
*Is inception sufficent for development on the n950 or should I use open mode kernel? (my guess after a bit of reading is that it will suffice)

*What is the Extras-devel equivalent repository for harmattan (where all the ...-dev packages are)?

*Is it risky to flash the n950 with the leaked P.R1.3 firmware? (slowdowns or firmware down-grading problems)

Bricked is a term i would associate with Android not Harmattan; you cant put your device into a non-recoverable state simply by flashing another kernel... Open mode is a kernel that isn't signed by Nokia's keys hence aegis is bypassed allowing you to do whatever you want but also disabling features like device lock and pin codes for MfE accounts...

Inception is an exploit that takes advantage of a hole in aegis' implementation to allow you certain privileges... For example anything that is a system package or file will have an origin of 'com.nokia.maemo' which means if you want to replace it with a package it wont be possible as your package is from a less trusted origin called 'unknown origin'! However, inception allowd.you to do the replacement by assigning origin 'com.nokia.maemo/local' which is more trusted by Aegis than the default origin

The con of inception is that to install back a system package to replace your user package, you would need to incept the system package too due to the trust worthiness of the origins... The main pro of inception is that it doesn't put your phone into open mode hence you don't lose those features that open mode does mentioned above

The con of open mode you already know, the pro is that you can on-demand replace any system package with your own package by assigning the same com.nokia.maemo origin to it hence whenever you want to restore the system package, you wont have issues as both of them have the same rank of origin...

For what you require, kojacker has posted those instructions and I think you would just be able to add them into the device since they don't already exist... I haven't tried doing those steps yet but will try today and report if you need to install it from a trusted origin...

munozferna 2012-10-30 22:58

Re: 2012 Coding Competition
 
inception inception/open mode should only be needed if you plan to develop kernel level suff or your app requires extra capabilities. For qt dev you only need to enable developer mode on the phone and get qtsdk.

Whoa, whem Quim was here, he said, that all N9's (for Community Awards and Coding competition and other programs) are 16GB N9, and indeed, Community Awards receivers got those.

It's nice surprise, that they're sending 64GB ones now. It seems, that mess in Nokia can sometimes be very convenient :p
