Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
Sorry, but I just don't see it the same way at all...
In 6mth you'll be looking at a commercial/FOSS ecosystem that's more successful than the N900 was at the same point. Despite having much of it's oxygen stolen by the WP strategy, & a lingering Symbian. Based on everything we know, common sense favours that IMO. Of course nothing like it could've/should've been, but better than we were with the N900. Anyway this is getting too off-topic for this thread... We have the water-cooler thread for such debates: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=74181&page=977 |

Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
We seriously need ScummVM on the N9 :D!!!
|
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
I was really hoping for SomePlayer on the N9, but it seems it wont be done for a while. If anyone has the knowhow and motivation to do this, it would be greatly appreciated :D
I'd love to test or help in any way I can. |

If you're wondering what is taking so long, please consider that stuff like this is required reading in my spare time, QML is a new language we all have to learn, and just because it has a simple syntax doesn't mean it's easy to port an app to run on the n9. |
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
I love you.

Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
this is probably posted already but you can see some of the apps that are supposedly in progress on this list:
http://wiki.meego.com/Community_Offi..._program/Nokia for example, mBarcode is being ported already by lardman, and I'll be doing Conky asap. I didn't start yet because I'm working on Proximus still. If you guys want to see some faster progress, you can always ask people if they need help. Even if you can't code, you might get a beta version to test and it doesn't hurt to make a developer think his work is in demand :) |

I seemed to have lost the description to this thread, thanks MartenS for reminding me of it.
Anyway, the list you should look at/contribute to is this one: http://wiki.meego.com/Porting_list_from_maemo created by ossipena. Anyone can edit it so that makes it more practical than the one in the first post. Please check and add your requests, and feel free to patch it with links etc if you are a developer or know about the status of an app. |

But you can't play most of the games without the keyboard |

Or using the N950? There are still many games that you can use like Curse of Monkey Island and Full Throttle which doesn't need a keyboard. Releasing ScummVM would be great! (Even in the current state!) |
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
yes, those games doesn't use the keyboard, but what about the mouse right button?
|
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
I suggest investigating how other devices implement ScummVM. E.g. http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/IPhone or http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Android.

Maybe you can use those buttons aswell? (volume + is right mouse button, volume - is menu) |

Is there an app where you can have group texts? On my iPhone, I could create a group that we could send texts back and forth and everyone would receive them. Is this iPhone specific?
|
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
Jenirok or who is calling. I also liked steamtuner in os2008.

Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
Is anyone working on porting squeezeplay to N9? I could compile it, using scratchbox for Harmattan,and following the various posts for N900. It runs, but there is still some problems. Eg, it is not fullscreen, but shows a statusbar and an empty bottom panel.
Audio works sort of. |
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
A bit torrent client would be amazing, namely transmission if anyone has it?
Also, an iplayer app (as unlikely as this is) Lastly.. some form of bike hire app (I live in London so a Boris boke one!) |
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
We could do with a scientific calculator. The bundled calculator doesn't have sqrt or brackets. It's too basic. I know there is an AlmostTI emulation but it's too complex to use with tiny keys that are very hard to press accurately.
Another app urgently needed is a wi-fi file transfer. Using bluetooth for file by file transfer is inconvenient and not all PCs have bluetooth. A Parking app using GPS to mark and locate your car would be very useful. In metropolitan centers one can hardly park close to one's destination. A wi-fi analyzer which can detect and display signal strength, channels and lock status would be another useful app to have. These are staples in any platform and I hope they can be filled soon before developers start on more esoteric apps. I hope someone's listening. |

There is still no any MSN for the N9.
Since GTK is been ported to Harmattan, I really hope that Pidgin will be ported to the N9 too :( |
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
I would like to have AutoDisconnect, which drops the Internet connection after a specified amount of time.
There is an option in Harmattan, which does basically the (disable background connections, disconnects unused connections), but it also prevents mail/facebook/weather sync in the background, ie. those sync aren't even allowed to start a new connection. |

Evernote
Kindle reader Zinio reader ...with those three this would be nearly perfect device for me. Unfortunately at least the two latter are apparently not "community" apps. However there wa (is) evernote for N900 so maybe there is some hope with that? |

there was a bunch of fremantle stuff being ported to GTK upstream. And then I think it was to be ported to Qt? A co. was specially contracted for it IIRC. Sorry, this is somewhat off-topic. |

Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
I agree parking application would be nice.
We could also use wifihotspot like on N900 for all of us who cannot use joikuspot. The problem with the wifihotspot from the N900 is it needs some kernel option that is not in the standard meego kernel so we need a custom kernel as well perhaps. iptables would be nice as well. I was just looking for a scientific calculator the other day myself. I also found the built in calculator too limiting. |
Re: Which community applications do you want ported to N9/N950?
One app I liked to use now and then on the N900 was a call recorder applet. Something that recorded calls on the N9 would be nice.
I also liked the pedometer applet on the N900, I wonder if it is possible to do some kind of pedometer on the N9. |

Is there any Yahoo plugin available in the Accounts section in the N9??
If not then is Pidgin being considered to be ported to Yahoo?? As it seems to be the only fully-featured yahoo messenger for linux. Hope someone will get this ported to the N9 soon. :) |
