Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?
 

Why would someone want to waste their own time making an app to use the Limewire network on their phone?

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?
 

i also have problems with crating a .desktop file


there is a patch problem:

when i try to start it from a different folder and not from the program folder like


java -jar /PATH_TO_PROGRAM_FOLDER/FrostWire.jar

i get some errors (Startup Problem and a error window)



When i make a shell script like:
it works from the terminal but when i start the sricpt from the .desktop file i get a internal error with x term and nothing happens.

what could be the solution?

update: someone from the n900 Java thread helped me to get it running


extract the files from archive and copy "start_frostwire.sh" into your frostwire program folder, then you copy the program folder to /opt/
(easy with filebox)

Next you copy frostwire.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/

thats it.
You have to wait a while until in launches

i think we need to ask on the weekends , i get a better responds , i want this bad !!!!

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?
 

here is a more simple process to get this work:

1. open this link from your phone https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa....1-1_armel.deb, after installation is complete

2. download frostwire to your computer, from here( the latest version of the tarball is not compatible with th mmjre, you have to use this ) http://newyork1.frostwire.com/frostw....noarch.tar.gz

3. extract de downloaded file frostwire-4.21.1.noarch.tar.gz

4. copy the exctracted folder frostwire-4.21.1.noarch to your phone, for example in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/frostwire-4.21.1.noarch

5. open Xterminal

And its running

duh we know that already! when its runing with JAVA its unusable and exrtemly slow! and hugs the CPU ALOT!

we need an n900 debian package completly compatible with N900!

am already using it with java and that my screenee, but its DAMN SLOW

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?
 

Frostwire requires the JRE regardless of which platform it runs on. That's what enables such applications to be cross-platform. If you install it in Windoze/Linux/Mac, it still uses Java. A native version would require a complete re-write. Not going to happen.
