Re: Calendar app for N810 that can make an alarm sound

It's not possible to flash the OS2007 onto an n810. And even if it did work, you'd lose functionality.

Re: Calendar app for N810 that can make an alarm sound

I have a calendar app (full PIM suite, actually) that I use all the time on my N810 and I definately have alarms with sounds that are reliable. All you need is KDE installed and use it as your desktop environment. KOrganizer is included in the KDE install.

Re: Calendar app for N810 that can make an alarm sound

Here are some patches that get Gene's to_do app to work on OS 2008. They should retain backwards compatibility with OS 2007 but I have no way to test that myself. I know that we really want to see calend working, but it's more complicated and I decided to start small. I figured I would post this now to possibly entice someone into helping on calend once they see that the changes aren't that bad.

I haven't made any attempt to repackage this into .debs. I just downloaded the individual source code links from his site and put them in a directory. I run it with "python to_do" to see that it works correctly.

Thanks to mbfrog's post in this thread for some tips on getting started:

Re: Calendar app for N810 that can make an alarm sound

I've put packages with Gene Cash's to_do and calend programs here:
http://brewer123.home.comcast.net/debs

They run on my n810. Let me know how they work for you. Download the debs in order and the dependencies should be satisfied correctly.
