Re: Anyone still using N900: What apps do you need/want?
 

This should be easy, a selfi-stick app as in in this thread.

Probably just a plugin with depends extkbd to make the bluethooth HID sticks pair properly with the N900.
If just a plugin it would bind the Return key to camera app shutter as c currently does, perhaps also allow bluetooth headsets to fire the camera shutter.

Sorry, I've never coded anything with bluetooth stuff. All I can do "remote"-wise is TCP/UDP stuff. That and I'm a firm believer in selfie sticks should not exist

Re: Anyone still using N900: What apps do you need/want?
 

I concur, but consider this. Throw away the stick and use just the remote. A remotely operated camera could be an excellent tool to snap some birds in action.

Or use a second n900 :P

EDIT::
I'll look into some bluetooth examples https://talk.maemo.org/images/icons/icon14.gif

How about a TMO client? ;)

(But with power search support.)

Firstly I agree up to the point I realized I have almost no photos of my kids with me in the frame. But really I also want to be able to fire the camera remotely using the btton on the stick. Actually all that is needed is to bind the Return key(the stick's shutter button is a HID bluetooth keyboard Return key) to shutter, as apparently the letter c on the hardware keyboard is now in CSSU.

For taking one picture you could use the console and gstreamer and trigger your script with the enter key. For taking more pictures you could write a simple console application.

Edit: I know you will have no flash so the best would be to recompile the cssu app with enter as trigger.

I really miss a decent browser :/

At a minimum avrdude to upload pre-compiled code to AVR/Arduino stuff via USB/serial/bluetooth.
the Arduino IDE would be nice to edit in the field, but I think that might require chroot debian with all of the java, my debian install works but updating is tricky with the old kernel and debian repos.
I tried ArduinoDroid on my Cyanogen Nexus7 but it crashes on load and is so damn fragile.

Alternating N900 & Nexus 5 32GB w SfOS 2.0.1.7 ... would need an updated/lighter/modern browser, BOX client, GUIed Telegram, Protonmail client and Maps.me.

Anyway the "phone" in N900 has always been the least important part to me.
