Currently working on using Terminal (not a lot so won't be confusing) to change the language of the UI.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

CURRENT=run-standalone.sh cat /home/user/.noor | grep lang | grep -v \# | tail -c 3

echo "Supported languages:

 en (English - default)

 ar (Arabic)

 fa (Farsi)

 ml (Malayalam)

 ps (Pushto)

 tr (Turkish)

 nl (Dutch - Thanks to HtheB!)"

echo "Type the two letters of the language you want for the UI:"

read input_variable

sed -i s/lang\ \=\ $CURRENT/lang\ \=\ $input_variable/g /home/user/.noor

It isn't working well since it doesn't actually substitute the variables, instead it tries to changes lang = $CURRENT as it is, not as lang = en.
Will see how this goes.

Edit: One more thing, I didn't actually make noor, it's a PyGTK app made for linux, I just ported it, and qwerty12 helped loads with hildonization.

Looking up docs on how to change the Quran view to use kinetic scrolling (as in pygtkeditor and leafpad)

Sorry Mohammad, been stupidly busy this week :P (As you can tell by my absence from irc!) - will be on this sunday, more then happy to try and help if i can :|

Came across this today and opened it in my microB browser. Nice little applet type interface. Very user friendly.

Re: Noor (Quran app) working on the N900

Would it be possible to have this as a little widget displaying ayahs from the Qur'an? or maybe like ayah of the day sort of thing as a widget? I think that'd be cool :)

Re: Noor (Quran app) working on the N900

It has recitation, you just need to edit the configuration file, I'll get around to packaging it soon (I hope)

I've been quite busy with exams lately, I'll upload a new version with portrait mode to -devel soon.
I still need help with a scrollable list at startup and hildon.TextView to display the text so that it uses Kinetic scrolling (and looks more hildon-y)

I would like to first of all thank the developer of this app, it is great.

I would like to ask, from what source did you get the translation of the Quran in English?

For the time being you can install leafpad and type leafpad /home/user/.noor in terminal
Experiment with it till I get it packaged :)

thanks..i edited the file..i removed the # from the play_sura, play_aya, and follow_ayas code lines...saved the file but dont see any option in Noor for recitation..i am assuming removing the # from those lines activates that code..any idea?

Just updated to version 0.9 without finding out what's new.

Not working. Does not start :(

I am looking for the project's page to report this as a bug.

BTW, thanks for the app. The most essential for my N900 :)

Re: Noor (Quran app) working on the N900

Asslam Alaikum

Mohammad, can I request some features? May be some of these are already there but I can't find them:

- When you are on portrait mode, bookmarks menu and jump are always in landscape mode
- Add option to always remember and jump on start up to where you were last time you closed Noor
- Icons are smallish and not very finger friendly
- Can't find icon to jump one screen (like when you finish a page and want to go to the next). The scrolling bars are very small and not finger friendly too
- Sura selection drop down list box at the beginning is also very small and not finger friendly

Thanks again for the great application and may Allah bless us all.

Re: Noor (Quran app) working on the N900

asalamualykum - can someone please help me install this, am not very knowledgable when it comes to linux.

I have had my eye on this app since this thread was made, tried to resolve the problem myself but I am clueless.

I downloaded the deb file when it first came out and coudlnt get it to work, then when it was realsed in the app list - I tried to download but it says unable to install. What am I doing wrong?

The english translation downloaded but obviously is useless without the viewer - but it didnt update. I uninstalled it thinking it may have stopped the viewer downloading.

Anyone can help me would be greatly appreciated, as it would be great for it to be working before ramadan.
