do you mean Islamic compass?

EDIT: Added it anyway and sent email to dev :)

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Did I see smart dialer mentioned? I.e, when you open dialer and start typing it limits the contact list on the fly.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Not yet (i think) but I will add it to the functionality list...

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

1. Camera lens cover as an optional the other half (it's more hw)
2. Alien. Why? You build the app as a deb package (no packaging change needed) and just convert it to rpm.
3. libhildon, hildon (maemo5) qt style to be able to run native maemo5 apps!
4. phone speaker switcher (like on N900)
5. google drive, ubuntu one, dropbox
6. maybe support for extension in the web browser? adblock for sailfish would be great
7. encrypting the mail with gpg
/edit:
8. just type like in webos
9. personalizing gestures.

hw: it'd be great if they created an universal port in the other half stuff so that you can create any other half and just write drivers :)

plus fm transmitter!! :)

/edit2: a decent navigation suite like nokia drive or better :)
/edit3: plus a decent map suite like nokia maps or better :)
/edit4: more-infra: autobuilder/obs/whatever

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Fahrplan (a public transportation app) will get ported: https://github.com/smurfy/fahrplan/issues/58

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

i have not seen a good screenshot taking app on n9 yet, hope there is a great way to take screenshot on jolla phone

maybe jolla implements this feature on its pulley menu

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

I think pulley menu is application specific. I don't think there is a system wide pulley menu option. Maybe a specific gesture.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

it should use the volume +/- and lock combination to take screenshot

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

the shutter button would be nice :)

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Qspot will be ported to sailfish. :D

Asked the dev here some time ago:

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

faircrack is possible on sailfish?

I think mawakit (a muslim app) would be important to some people. I have lots of friends that use this app ALOT.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Blackberry use Volume + and - buttons together, both with Playbook and BB10 and it works really well.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

* Messaging app should allow multiple windows to be open. I really use it in my N9.
* I wish they will change the "Only show 9 open apps". How do I get to other apps/windows? Why can't they just make it scroll? Edit: Make it optional if they really don't want it to scroll as default.
* Some good games
* LinkedIn

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Galaxy... Swipe over screen to take snapshot. Fastest and coolest way, hope Jolla go for that move.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Some additional thoughts:

Functionality:
Vibrate when outcoming call received ('Outcoming call vibro' on N900)
External keyboard+mouse support (i.e. bluetooth)
External (bluetooth) GPS support

Apps (in particular):
R
Tiny Tiny RSS Reader
SleepAnalyser
Evil Alarm
Medard
MovieSchedule
ImageMagick

Apps (general):
An R frontend
Bible reader
Jamendo client
Evernote client
OpenStreetMap editor

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

i think they want to make the ui/ux as simple as possible. scrolling will make the ui/ux complicated.

I would like to have something like nokia sleeping screen

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

When it comes to features:

• Block calls - per contact/number/pattern. Either with auto-silence or auto-reject, preferably both.
• Block messages - auto trash SMS/MMS/IM/email with similar settings as for blocking calls.
• Bluetooth HFP, PBA/PBAP, SAP, SIM, rSAP and AVRCP profiles for allencompasing in-car support. MAP has already been mentioned, but the aforelisted are as equally important. Or at least allow us to hack the BT stack like on the N900 - to this day I can't get my N9 to behave nicely with my car.
• Browser history and cursor hover mode like in the MicroB on the N900. Also, a quick way to scroll to the top/bottom of a page.
• Debug/verbose mode for every built-in application so that we can more easily and accurately report possible bugs. To this day I can't figure out why the N9 refuses to connect to one particular IMAP server as it just throws a simple 'Error connecting...' message.

When it comes to specific apps, apart from the already mentioned:

• Swype keyboard (should be built-in if you ask me)
• Billboard (from the N9) app but with more control and abilities for which support would have to come from the SailfishOS itself. Most preferably a blend between the Billboard app and Nokia Sleeping Screen from Symbian.
• Already mentioned but +1 for Fuelpad (from the N900, never made it to the N9)
• A good source-code editor, MeeTxtEdit at the very least
• CloudGPS
• Marble
• A fully featured XBMC remote

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

If it is possible, Voicecall!

Dobleclick of the Powerbutton and speaking the Name in Phonebook makes the call

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

i received this mail from s3dict(for symbian anna, belle) developer

************************************************** ***********************
I didn't know Jolla already started making a phone. I just had a look at the video. S3Dict is written in Qt, so it shouldn't be difficult to port to Sailfish. However, I would need at least a simulator of Sailfish (or better a phone). So I will see.

In the meantime I switched to development for Blackberry 10, which is relatively similar to Sailfish (and Meego). But I won't be porting S3Dict for BB 10, because similar apps are already available.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Have you replied, pointing the dev to sailfishos.org ?
Let them know the SDK comes with a built in emulator

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

QUICK UPDATE

I'm working through the list and cleaning up duplicates/numerical errors and updating any info that has been made available to me, via emails from Devs.

I've sent out a couple of dozen emails today, so hopefully will have a nice batch of updates to add to the list over the next few days.

Want to shout out a BIG thanks to all the devs who have shown such enthusiasm and willingness to donate their time and energy to porting and developing for SailfishOS
It's important that you guys know your work is valued and also iimportant that the community is aware, most of the great apps we have on the N9 are free!

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

i did tell the dev all this.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

I'm shocked to see that those who are interested in a phone that runs free software would at the same time prefer to run non-free, poprietary services on this phone. That's pretty much the definition of absurd.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

It's not a matter of prefered, more of a being forced to. And please stop. We had this discussion already several times (even in this thread).

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

They are not intressting in free software. They are intressting in free for them.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Not sure if this was mentioned:

Applications:

* Mobile variants of gaming emulators (DosBox, Scummvm etc.).

You are entitled to view it that way, and I share your dislike towards the closed IMs, but let's avoid the off-topic in this thread, since this subject is always heated. Here is a dedicated thread for it: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90253

Another function/feature I would like is for the phone to say the caller's name that way you don't have to look at the phone all the time to see who is calling. I really miss that from Symbian.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Recaller
Glogarchive
SMSCON
USB mode
Battery-eye
Evopedia
Easy-Debian

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

ScreenshotMee wfm but yeah pulley menu sounds good to me too

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Out of the box GTK support

'Nuff said

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

I'd like to have SIlent Circle.

I like to have Flickr and Picasa app

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

jollA should disable the event view by default, because it is too confusing for mass people

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Thats one of their unique features, they would be crazy to do that.
Why do you think events feed is confusing?

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

A book reader with support for EPUB and FB2 ( and more?) formats. FBreader, maybe?

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

AutoCallSMS and Speaker Auto Switcher !

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

SYGIC (many of you remember from N900) would be nice to be ported or at least run as ANDROID app if possible. Great Slovak offline navigation app. I have contacted the developer, he has no plans to port to Sailfish nor BB10. Sadly, supports now only iOS & Android. Abandoned Maemo & Symbian year ago.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Add me for Facebook. I work with Jolla people in a shared effort to get Facebook and other social network on the Jolla and Nemo.

I'm focusing on Facebook, and can port Friends on Sailfish, if there is no stock Facebook app on it (or if the stock FB app is not so nice).

See http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88613

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

No for this: Jolla / Nemo / Mer do no support GTK as they have no intention in doing that. One toolkit is already enough. Don't expect out of the box GTK.

But you can get community ports of GTK if you want. Just package it and that will be enough. You can even try to push it into Mer if you want ...
