A-ha! Good. I read somewhere that it would use it's own kernel so it would be impossible, was hoping that wasn't the case as I don't want to disturb maemo..

I installed Fedora, just to build a MeeGo image. Anyone is successful booting from N900 yet?

Edit: It seems kickstart file is broken(or something like that) and we have to wait tomorrow.

lol I just spat out a piece of my Subway sandwich laughing after reading that! :D:o

hope it'll look like this or even better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW5wp...ayer_embedded#!

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

@ everyone complaining about copycats: Meego is a big copy of everything, windows, mac, linux etc etc(terminal, icons, mouse pointer etc etc)! Things becomes better because people copy others and make it a LOT better!

If you want to say anything against this, look at the wheel!

I just posted this in another thread, but here it is for everyone to lazy to go find it.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Would someone share ready image so we no need to everyone build it?

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Considering the built image contains proprietary nokia binaries.





No.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Does anyone know already if flash 10.1 will come to meego? i search but could not find anything helpful

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Flash 10 should be available for MeeGo at some point at or before the first stable release.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

??????????:confused::confused:

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Hold on there.. may I ask where you got that? This kind of contradicts with the 100 % open source goal. I wouldn't bet on it. AFAIU it's up to the device manufacturers to add Flash support for their products.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Aava doesn't make products for consumers. They make prototypes and reference platforms for ODM/OEMs and sofware developers.

Sad really, cause Aava Virta would be the most beautiful gadget name ever.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Its mentioned in the Adobe Flash Press release.

And Meego doesnt have a 100% opensource goal for all apps running on it. Only the core of Meego is to be opensource and that too might depend on the manufacturer to do.
Meego only provides a base OS for others to build on.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

I know it's pre-alpha, but here are some things that bothered me right off the bat:
http://i50.tinypic.com/19nhhu.png

1: the menu button looks as if none of the maemo 5 minimalism carried over (which is odd, because judging from some other icons it appears that it has)

2: I'm not liking the card system of switching apps, the thumbnails from Maemo 5 worked just fine, although I've heard that will also be an option which doesn't make it so bad. I guess it's nice to have different options.

3: So much redundant space! I wish the text was closer to the icons and that they were 4x4 (or maybe even 4x5), also I really dislike the iPhone styled scrolling, it just makes very little sense.

4: Personally, I liked slide-to-unlock more but anyways, the position of the icon looks a bit uncomfortable although I've seen that it will be on the bottom as well. Other than personal preference, I think this is actually ok.

Anyways, it's pre-alpha so most of this will be improved, so while I know I'm basically complaining about how the unfinished product is unfinished, I wanted to say something anyway. If I take the unfinished state of this into consideration, then it's pretty obvious that MeeGo will actually end up looking totally rad.

Sorry for the TL;DR rant :P

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

@Parody

Phones that will use MeeGo will be mostly capacitive screens. Most of features you don't like are related to this. Maemo was an internet tablet OS, optimized for stylus. But looks like MeeGo is optimized for fingers.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Okay, I may have been a bit hasty. Now that I look at the post I replied to, he said "for", not "in".

But MeeGo the project does have a 100 % open goal, which means that the whole deliverable from the project including core OS and reference UX will be open source. Flash would be in the "others to build on it" category. That's why I said in my post that it's up to the manufacturer to add support. Obviously Flash has to support MeeGo, like said in the Adobe press release if someone is going to preinstall it on a device running the OS.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Hopefully the N900 community made version will be more optimized for its resistive display :)

The menu launcher still looks like a damned traffic sign though :(

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

its just a bloody icon what will probably look different when different vendors ship there own default themes or users make themes,
more important vendors will most probably build there own customised UI on top so in places it will look nothing like the reference UI release so stop judging too early

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

the problem of unlocking from top of the phone is that you can't unlock with just one hand, at least most of the time...

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

If you look at the developer guidelines the images show a 4x4 grid...
dont stress over that

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

I think they should have released this pre-alpha with LESS graphics and detail. Now it almost look like a end-user UI (UX) wich it is not, not by a long shot!

And since it's linux based the customisation possibilities are endless.

Think about how much the Maemo themes differ from each other! I like what I'm seeing and the fact is: It's only going to get better! :)

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

The MeeGo project hasn't released its email app yet, or media player or calendar, but those are supposed to be moving to the open within the next few weeks.

Regarding unlocking, according to http://meego.com/developers/ui-desig...t/meego-basics unlocking will be via a slide action.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

I hope there will be a proper homescreen(s) a la Maemo5 - from the "Meego Basics" website its not evident... but I am sure Nokia will include it, would be too strange not to I'd think.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Man! cant wait to get this Handset. Yes !

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

the vibe i'm getting is the homescreen might be left to each vendor to do there own, i have seen a brief mention of a homescreen but it seems to just be blank screen with dock in reference UI, we will need to wait longer to be sure

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

I kind of like the blank hoemscreen look..

Was never really a fan of widgets..

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

I've always been torn. The desktop should be useful and useable, but on the other hand I always like the clean look of an empty desktop.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Personally I think they should add widgets, because if someone doesn't like them they can simply not put them on the homescreen.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Some comedian (I forget who) pointed out that the invention of the 2nd wheel was far more important than the first.

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

What extra does this do to Maemo 5????

Apart from look crappier?

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

Well it has multi-touch.. ;)

Re: MeeGo v1.1 Developer Preview out now
 

The N900 doesn't have multi-touch though.
