Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

cant you remove it from any application manager ?
im not sure of this step but you can try it if you want go with filebox to /var/libs/dpkg/info and there is 4 files for fennec you can remove them and then remove fennec and if you tried this and didnt work the last thing you got to delete it from /home/opt/ and delete the icons from /usr/share

./sifo

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

Try this:

delete:

/etc/others-menu/*fennec.desktop
/opt/mozilla
/usr/bin/fennec
/usr/share/applications/hildon/fennec.desktop
/usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.mozilla.fennec.service
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/26x26/hildon/fennec.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/40x40/hildon/fennec.png
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/fennec.png

then (from postinst, maybe not needed)
update icons
# gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

update desktop
# update-desktop-database /usr/share/applications

In my case, I had the nightly version 9.0, it was not optimized for maemo 5, but the problem was solved.

Re: Fennec 8.0.1 and 12.0a build (Nightly)

sorry Mohammed i thought you know where the icon is but D@vIcHoJD got your back do as he said ;)

as for updating icons you also can use killall hildon-desktop (you also can use this after installing a package with dpkg and cant see it's icon in the menu )

Download 8.0.1: http://www.4shared.com/file/U3w_bovq..._80_armel.html

Download Nightly: http://www.4shared.com/file/ktfHgaJX...0a1_armel.html
(Snapshot of 2012-01-13)

Version 12 is visibly faster than version 10 and page scrolling doesn't result in checkboarding. Start up and shutdown take a few seconds instead of a minute.

If anyone is interested I can make the stable versions as well. It takes about 30 minutes to compile on my quad core system.

Update: Version 8.0.1 uses a faster JIT engine than builds 9.0 and higher. Until Mozilla updates it (which will probably be never), 8.0.1 is the last build worth using on our N900s.

Are the download links still correct?

I've tried download v8.0.1 from the link and no go.....

Thanks.

You need to log in with your 4shared account ;) I tried it just 3 days ago, it worked. Something could have been happened though...

Thank you for your support in compile and convert this package to maemo.

PS: if you make an "how to" for compile next fennec release we can compile and serve for community with our server and hardware.

Let me know.
Thank You

I'll see about building an updated Fennec in the next few days. I haven't touched this since I first posted.

What about pushing last working version of fennec to extras-devel?
Some days ago I created correct dsc source package for autobuilder.

That should probably happen now that Mozilla has pulled support. I'll think about it.

Fennec 13.0 has been posted to the OP. I have used it for surfing a few regular sites and did not see any problems. Unfortunately the JavaScript JIT is still slower than 8.x. I have enabled the official branding as I did not need to modify any source code.

Could we do both version 13 and version 8 so we have either available for future use as needed?

Re: Fennec 13.0 and more

Could anyone upload version 13 to another website instead of 4shared? Don't want to create a useless account for 4shared because I want to download 1 file.

pali	2012-06-17 12:09

Re: Fennec 13.0 and more

Steps how to create new version of fennec (dsc package for extras-devel):

1. Download upstream fennec tarball (tar.bz2 format) from mozilla website.

2. Create directory fennec, move upstream tarball to that directory and rename it to fennec-source.tar.bz2:

Code:

$ mkdir fennec && mv <upstream_tarball>.tar.bz2 fennec/fennec-source.tar.bz2

3. Create debian orig file from upstrem fennec tarball (orig.tar.gz):
(This means that orig.tar.gz will contains only one file - upstream tarball tar.bz2 in fennec subdir)

Code:

$ tar -czf fennec_<version>.orig.tar.gz fennec

4. Go to directory fennec, download my diff.gz file (version 7.0.1-2) from extras-devel repository:

Code:

$ wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/source/f/fennec/fennec_7.0.1-2.diff.gz -O fennec/fennec.diff.gz

5. Apply changes and remove it:

Code:

$ cd fennec && gunzip -c fennec.diff.gz | patch -p1 && rm -f fennec.diff.gz

6. Set correct version:

Code:

$ sed 's/7.0.1-2/<VERSION>/' -i fennec/debian/changelog

7. Optionaly edit mozconfig file: fennec/debian/mozconfig
Make sure that objdir is @TOPSRCDIR@/objdir and prefix and libdir is /opt

8. Create debian source package (dsc):

Code:

$ cd fennec && dpkg-buildpackage -S -sa -rfakeroot -us -uc

Note that debian/control and debian/changelog will be overwritten by mozilla script in final deb package. So editing debian/control is usefull only for adding *build* dependences and debian/changelog only for setting version. Real changelog and binary package dependences are generated by mozilla scripts!

PS: All commands should be run from top directory! (I think you understand what I mean)

Here are my two dsc packages (in extras-devel), so compare if your new has same format: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d...urce/f/fennec/

Re: Fennec 13.0 and more

As some know from #maemo I've been working on getting fennec-14b7 to build with qt/thumb2/NEON which I believe is a supported target for the JavaScript JIT (as it's what get used in the Android build) along with the features from the Harmattan build utilising qt-mobility for system integration.

So far, with a couple of code tweaks I've got it to build against libqtm-12, it's not perfect, screen auto-rotaion is off by 90º, keyboard handling isn't quite right, but it is FAST, and memory utilisation is much better than earlier builds.

I would ask some QML/qtm guru to help with screen rotation issue (MohammadAG, marxian, please :) )

Wow, like 4 times faster than microb, sounds really nice, rotation and kb perks sound fixable.

Most probably no, it will be in cssu-thumb. We all know how fennec behaves when its jscript engine is not thumb-compiled, it is unusable. But lets hildon integration to be finished, who knows, the source will be available so anyone could upload an ARM-only version in extras-devel.

can't wait to see this. iirc there was another project on here with off by 90 problem. may be able to find with the right search term. might even have been early phoneme release.

yep, it was phoneme, but we have a different situation here. Anyway, never fear, I hope by Monday it will be fixed (I won't be able to work on that during the weekend) or even earlier if zeq beats me to it :)

Re: Fennec 13.0 and more

I tried to compile fennec7 with Pali's instructions.

These are my steps (inside scratchbox1):

Code:

#download source code from Mozilla

wget --no-check-certificate https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/7.0.1/source/fennec-7.0.1.source.tar.bz2



#Create directory fennec

# move and rename upstream tarball

mkdir fennec && mv fennec-7.0.1.source.tar.bz2 fennec/fennec-source.tar.bz2



#Create debian orig file from upstrem fennec tarball:

tar -czf fennec_7.0.1.orig.tar.gz fennec





#download diff.gz file (version 7.0.1-2) from extras-devel:

wget http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/source/f/fennec/fennec_7.0.1-2.diff.gz -O fennec/fennec.diff.gz



#Patch

cd fennec && gunzip -c fennec.diff.gz | patch -p1 && rm -f fennec.diff.gz





#Change version number (optional):

sed 's/7.0.1-2/7.0.1-3/' -i debian/changelog



#build:

fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

And this is error:

Code:

Re: Fennec 13.0 and more

Version 14 is absolutely the way to go as far as Fennec is concerned. It's a major redesign compared to version 13 and below, and might be the first Fennec version that is actually usable. Although in my mind MicroB is still going strong, getting Fennec 14 on Maemo would be a welcome addition. I've been running v12 thanks to this thread, and while it's good to have for HTML5, I hardly ever use it otherwise since it's such a hog.

I took down the 12.0 nightly link. It should not be used by anyone.

8.0.1 is the last Fennec version that will have a fast JavaScript engine. The newer Fennec versions may have a faster UI but slower JavaScript engine. Most web sites use JavaScript today so newer Fennec versions will not be better on our devices.

I use Fennec 13.0 as I cannot stand checker-boarding that Fennec 8 does and the slightly slower JavaScript engine is bearable.

Sorry, I didn't mean to have this requirement. I compiled Fennec 14 with Glib 2.26 on my scratchbox. It isn't worth recompiling for stock Glib so you'll need to install my new Glib package.
