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

Code:

cd MyDocs/.documents/frostwire-4.21.1.noarch/

java -jar FrostWire.jar

And its running

How do you make it run again?
It worked fine on my phone but can't seem to find it in the applications :confused:

Dont expect it to launch apps from /home/user, That is totally wrong. Write full paths, like /home/user/MyDocs/... That would work. The menu doesnt launch from a folder in the filesystem by default, kinda. You have to cd to the desired folder. I'd make it like this:
cd /to/folder/with/full/path/ && java -jar java-file.jar
And put that into the .desktop-file without an external launchpad.

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

hmm... somehow it doesnt work :(... can i somehow let it open a window where it shows what it do??

like a xterm window... i can remember something like "@echo" but dont know how to do it right... i m no coder...

btw desktop file looks like this now...

and how can i find out why my icon doesnt show up... it is in... /home/opt/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

Speaking of icons, I have Transmission on my phone. I have the icon in the app menu but when I try to add a shortcut to my desktop it doesn't show up in the selection list. Any ideas would be most appreciated.

hi and tnx for your help in getting frostwire running on the n900. unfortunately, i am unable to get frostwire working. i've tried loading frostwire-4.21.6.noarch on both microemulator and java. on microemulator nothing happens when i click the frostwire.jar file. in java, using x terminal, limewire starts to load but crashes when i get to the internet connection and username settings page. i searched for frostwire-4.21.1.noarch.tar.gz file but had no luck in finding it. the link u provided here is no longer valid. is there something wrong with frostwire-4.21.6.noarch? any suggestions or advice?

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

When I try to run it, it won't start. I get this in terminal:

Code:

1: Main.main([Ljava.lang.String;@1186fab)

class path entry = ../frostwire-4.21.8.noarch/FrostWire.jar

java.lang.ArithmeticException: / by zero

        at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.getChosenSplashURL(Unkown Source)

        at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.showInitialSplash(Unknown Source)

        at com.limegroup.gnutella.gui.Main.main(Unknown Source)

Any idea how I stop it from dividing by zero?

Any ideas on how to click "Next" on FrostWire Setup Wizard? Since it's offscreen :(

Thanks in advance!
