About audio support: I cannot seem to produce any sound with the emulator, not even with the built-in 'play-sound' application or the Qt4 qmusicplayer example application. I am guessing QSound in Qt4 is not properly supported for audio playback :-(

/home/developer $ play-sound testmp3.mp3
socket(): Address family not supported by protocol
ca_context_open: Not available

About GPS: Yes, JSR 179 would provide the unifying API to get location information. Any location provider could be plugged into JSR 179, but GPS is quite likely the most important one.

I am aware of OpenLAPI. That is the implementation I used to support JSR 179 on my Android port. The only thing I need to figure out is how to get the GPS data natively on the N900 and how to activate and deactivate GPS programmatically, etc.

for the gps data i don't know seems there's not a command dbus line to switch on/off the gps radio, there's a python script that makes it. If you want to try using jython maybe it can works ;)

I tried the newest version (0206) on N9, and the fonts are great, it shows every Hungarian character (őűí), but it's slower, than the first one.

The grey bar is there.

I am still investigating the grey bar issue. Merely replacing
QApplication with MApplication as suggested before, does not
seem to cut it.

be disabled on the N9 device:

Another way is to run the app in fullscreen by default, or to use
PageStackWindow, but for that I would need to change my port to
use the Qt Quick Components .

I put a new build online and added a separate build for N9 that
starts in full screen.

No worries, still there is another friend of mine from Gujarat willing to sell his N900. I am less fortunate to make it mine, but still I don't want it to go to any hands which don't know the awesomeness of this phone. If you're willing, I can connect you to him. PM me.

Tested new version:
Default font is slightly smaller, works better for medium fonts but still jerky - I have not tried this overclocked yet.
Fullscreen and rotation now automatically redraw the screen to fit :)
Very nice work.

File upload and download is supported:
download only seems to work in Opera Mini 4.2.. in v6.5 download fails
upload works fine - access to MyDocs and SDCard

It's working on N9, status bar and grey bar disappeared. It's great, but laggy. Download, rotate not working. If you click on landscape mode, than it's rotate to the wrong side (NOKIA logo on the down not the top).

Thanks for your work, it's get better day by day.

If I turn off the Opera keyboard, I can't get any virtual keyboard on N9.

The grey bar is gone because I started the application in full screen. I think the grey bar is intended as a status bar from which you could activate a virtual keyboard (if I compare with the Notes app). Since with fullscreen it is now hidden, we cannot pop up a virtual keyboard anymore (if I would now how to enable it). I had to do something similar for Android devices without a physical keyboard. The problem was that phoneME text input fields are different from Android input fields (that would automatically pop up the virtual keyboard), but on Android I managed to enforce popping up the virtual keyboard even if there was no Android textfield widget being displayed. I have not found a way how to do this on N9.

About the rotation: This is Opera rotating in the wrong way, not phoneME. There is not much I can do about this :-(. Actually, on both the N9 and N900 emulators phoneME always runs in landscape mode it seems.

Can you check if you see some improvement in the text rendering speed?

I avoided all of the pixel buffer copying and rgb depth transformation. If it is still too slow, it is Qt4 itself that is slow at text rendering ....

MUCH faster! No delayed response. Scrolling in OM4.2 and 6.5 is much improved, menus are quick with no delay - it it is very usable now at Medium font settings :)

I will pledge $25 dollars to buy this guy an N900. I can accumulate all pledges till we have enough to get this Mofo an n900. Who is in?

Quick update, scrolling in portrait mode is jerky for Medium fonts.
Landscape is fine.
Small fonts no problem

Hi DavyP,
I tried again to compile midp, but I can not get this to work.
I tried different howtos I found (phoneme for webos for example)

Starting with building the PCSL part I get this error:

gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1'

looks like a PATH entry is missing.
If I manually change the PATH it can find the cc1 from my arm-toolchain
but I get errors "can not find stdio.h" and if I manually change the
CFLAGS to include that path for stdio.h I get more errors
about other includes missing.
So, somehow my cross-compiler toolchain isn't correct, but
I don't understand what I could have done wrong.

It is working for developing apps for maemo, but for maemo
scratchbox environment is used within its one login shell.
For midp I can not directly use this envirionment because
midp depends on java tools that aren't useable from
within scratchbox.
But it should work to just use scratchbox toolchain I even
tried different toolchains (scratchbox, the one from WebOs,
codesourcery) always the same errors.

Any ideas.

Nicolai




Count me in (10€), not only for his work he already done, but also
because every developer should own a N900 :-)

You have to register first, but you can get the compilers directly from:

https://sourcery.mentor.com/sgpp/lit...al/release2029

I use these compilers directly on my linux OS so not in a scratchbox environment. See if this somehow already helps with the missing headers files.

Perhaps in portrait mode, the slowdown is caused because
phoneME needs to print many more smaller (single line) strings,
whereas in landscape mode Opera Mini prints fewer but longer
strings. I am just guessing here.

If you feel you will benefit from using this piece of software AT ALL now or in the future I ask you to donate some $$$ for the cause. It does not matter how little just donate something, or I will toe your balls the next time you come with a rétarded feature request.
