Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Hi,

Quick suggestion (warning: I haven't actually used fapman yet myself as I don't install stuff all that often) - which would take some work, but.. - have you considered an attempt at integrating fapman in with maemo.org a bit? Being able to rate applications, view ratings, etc.. would doubtless help the extras-testing queue speed I think.

I'd be (cautiously) optimistic about throwing some of my time into this. Cautiously because I don't have a lot of it. :)

I'll even go more specific...

I think fapman should hook up with KISStester and see what spawns :D

(These names are awesome..)

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

Since attila77 is already working on KISStester, I don't feel the need to duplicate the functionality in fapman. And even reusing the code would require some work as fapman is c++ and kisstester is python... They are better as separate apps.
Edit: They could have a dependency on each other and communicate using dbus if necessary, I guess.

First off thank you for this. Runs circles around Nokia's version. I was wondering as maybe in a future build if you could add virtual keyboard support. You could incorporate it by placing another button down along the screen edge, that would only show up when you are viewing applications (for installation, upgrade, or deinstallation).

This way you wouldn't need to open the screen for fast searching.

If it is not added, the app rocks.

I didn't mean for duplication of effort I meant for them to use each other. Even if it just means at certain points to have one call/execute the other app and it launches on it's own.

Take a look at atilla77's response:

Thank you so much for this app. Hands down the most useful

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

The app hangs at "updating catalogs" for me

I'm currently connected via edge/2g. the normal app manager works fine.

It doesn't appear to be doing anything either. I ran conky and there is no download/upload and the cpu is minimal

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

I'd have a feature suggestions for future versions.

1. Show in the application list with different colors, that what version of the app is available (meaning -testing and -devel).
2. While installing user could choose which version to install. I for one don't know now which version I'm running of Pidgin Protocols Plugin, since the decsription said it was from -devel/-testing.

Hi everyone,

since I installed fap I couldn't update any programm.
For this reason I uninstalled it again. Now I cannot upgrade any program with the built-in appmanager. And I can't install fapman either...

Any help? :eek:

Re: [Announce] Faster Application Manager (Maemo5)
 

What errors do you get? Could you also try (as root) running "apt-get upgrade" in X Terminal and see what errors that gives?
