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

Whatsup should not be a separate program (like wazapp in N9) but a plugin to the in-built messaging system, just like the skype/jabber/fb-chat are.

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

That's called Erudite now, and I probably won't be porting it if the official Amazon Kindle Android app runs acceptably on Sailfish, at the moment it's a bit unclear whether I'll even still be able to continue distributing it for MeeGo and Symbian much longer.

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

I would add:

Leafpad
aircrack-ng
filebox
Mbarcode
yamas
wireshark
wirouterkeyrec (xterm tool)

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

Great list,

I just need a very good browser ? thats what I really miss on my N9
Also many people will ask about Viber (Not me), many people might not buy a device with these popler services (whatsapp, Viber, weechat, Skype).

Also, offline Nokia maps :D "Could any1 hack the n9 version?"

PS. Would be nice to have similar topic for other half ideas :D
Thanks

I want an app that only works on sailfishos that make Android people say "I want that device!"

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

...like a Quickmeme app?

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

That's already there. It's called "SailfishOS". :D

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

AGTL - Advanced Geocaching Tool for Linux, running on N900 and N9. Android version AAGTL is not even close yet.

Geoplacer - gives GPS coordinates, averaged over max. 100 samples

I'm just into geocaching. So I need this stuff... :)

Dears, suggest a panel to make a short list devided by categories (music, games, etc...) then make a Poll on this list.

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

righto, as the person who started this, I'll throw in my 2 bob.

no panel
no short list
no poll.

and this is why.

Taking an initiative based approach, in response to seeking community input, I started this thread to:
1. Get community (at least TMO community) input for what THEY/WE Want
2. Update (time and actuality dependent) the list with info from devs who are committed or not*
3. Show Jolla and the Dev community (involved here) what people are looking for**

It's not about a contest or narrowing of the scope of desire or delivery WRT software.

* clearly, most of the Devs have been overwhelmingly supportive of porting and further development for SailfishOS. those that aren't (right now) have based their decision entirely around time management and work commitments. Every person who has said "I don't have plans right now" has also pointed to the source code and actively supported others to take up the reigns (with assistance if required) to port the apps to Sailfish

**A number of the application requests on the list may provide "food" for Developer creativity and in turn, present an opportunity to see application development.

the list is now reaching close to the word count limit anyway.
Based on this, and the original discussion with Jalyst, I intend to regroup the list into categories (not dissimilar to your suggestion) and then it will be posted as a GDoc, similar tot he questions/ideas one.

Have no doubt that this thread is being watched by LOTS of people, It is getting plenty of air time on Twitter and also being blogged about within the jolla "community" and has the support of Jolla as a means of gathering important information for them and keeping the community aware.

i will keep updating as time allows me (around my own work/project stuff) every day or so.

cheers

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

It is creepy to see skype and whatsapp at 1st and 2nd... but oh yeah people like to be ripped off and show their inner guts to any company asking for it... thanks to my friends some of these "companies" have my real name, street address, date of birth, e-mail and phone number (how I know? I got an email to my birthday... proper date proper everything)

add Columbus to the list please. Is Xournal there yet?

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

I would also like to see Whatsapp as an plugin to Sailfish's "message center".

Other apps I would like to see:

Cardu (Mobile card app, which has Qt version for symbian) Devs are intrested at developing version for Sailfish too, but thay want to have UI desing guides & rules, which they said they have not found.

Karttaselain (Finnish app for topography maps, Sailfish version will be developed)

I would also like to have some map software which makes it possible to use Finland open data for topography maps. Ie. Data with compined info from openstreetmap, like http://kartat.hylly.org for example.

Ilkka (Finnish newspaper reader app. They aren't planning to create sailfish app ATM, but will most probably offer Android app via some source at first.)

Description for following apps can be found at google play, I put just some info here):

Ampparit ( Newscollector site, which offers reader app aswell. They have no plans for Sailfish version ATM)

Viiniopas (Wineguide which has databae for all wines sold in Finland. Has support for barcode scanning)

Tässä.fi (Offers info about local (finnish) offers at shops, locations etc. Has got Qt version for symbian, hasn't reply on feedback yet)

Posti (makes it possible to trace post delivery in Finland)

OP mobiili

Ruutu (shows some Finnish tv channels tv-shows)

YLE Areena (Shows some Finnish tv channels tv-shows)

Sport Tracker (Has Qt version for Symbians, but I think this was on the list already)

Shazam (Has Qt version for symbian)

Hill Climb Racing (They have no plans to port it to Qt ATM, haven't resond to quostion about Android version availability in Jolla's store for Android apps, or whatever that will be).

Skype for voicecalls

Google Hangout for videocalls.

Edit:

Just few more things:

Samsung remote (remote controller over wifi for samsung tv's) Unless offcourse there will be ir "the other half for real remote controller option.

Swipe panorama

If possible, some kind of Photosphere support also.

Edit2: Caller ID: http://n9-apps.com/caller-id or similar (Fonecta Caller is not going to port to Sailfish ATM, they will follow how things are going fo Jolla)



That was pretty much all for now.

PS. Sorry for my bad English.

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

With time, I will port my games to the Sailfish OS:
http://store.ovi.com/content/212180 The attack of the moles
and:
http://store.ovi.com/content/319257 Adventlands, and other games that I have in google play.

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

BASIC FUNCTIONALITY

-Firefox/Embedlite
-Media Player WITH EQUALIZER (N900 user :D)
-Offline Navigation Maps App with decent map data for every country
-Some kind of Task Manager with detailed process info (htop or with GUI will be even better)

EXTRA

-Foreca weather
-Torrent app
-mBarcode
-Yappari
-pierogi

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

Nelisquare will be ported to Sailfish.

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

I'm hoping for not bloated OS, that's all. All this social crap integration and gazillion running services already exist on another OS so please, not here. As much as I hate "there's an app for that" approach there is something good in it.

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

I think that there should be "there can be a plugin for that" to make the system most extensible with plugins. Want fb integration? Install a plugin.

Most suse/fedora/another distro packages in the repo would be nice

and... no optfs problem like on maemo5

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

Why do you enter correct info? I always use fake in hopes that they mess up their data.

Set up an "fake" email that you only use fore these kind of services and and don't add anything that can be connected to you.

+1 For "there's a plugin for that" concept.

But would it be possible to get rss feeds from feedly with just an plugin? If it needs an app and you would like to get it too, then vote:

i think i need viber as well

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

I knew i could'nt be the only one. I have a lot of bluetooth-devices. I would love to use them for calling just by pressing the handsfree button and say the name i'd like to call, like in Symbian.

In Android I had an app Voice Speed Dial.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...cm9uLmN2c2QiXQ..

You can record the voice tag, and phone do what you'd like it to do.

There was only one problem with it: If you made your record in silent place, the recognition did not work well in noisy place. There could be two or even three recording for one command, i think.

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

Seems this has not yet been suggest, and treads about it does not mention any porting.

I will suggest the effect we see in unlocking bb10 locked screen

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

What about WISPR functionality on Sailfish?
I can have an Accespoint like an T-Online Hotspot or whatever and put here (Advanced settings?) username und password.
So i only was checking my mails f.e. and connect with these hotspot. Didnt have going to the homepage and put manually my username and password.
Had this also in my old Nokia E71 and the app Handy-Wi. This app put an defined Accesspoint in my Accesspoint-List with this future.
I didnt had open Handywi, it was only mark this accaesspoint and it made an autologin.
Great app in my old E71

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

It seems that some three hundred apps will make everyone happy. I like it. Jolla, just give me the copy of N900 (in terms of functionality) with updated internals.
Is there someone still missing #105 really? )))

I also would like to ask for magnetometer hardware and appropriate software. I have lost a small metal key from a children toy in my backyard and cannot find it. It is possible but unlikely that a magpie has taken it. With grass and rains, multiple searches have given no result. The next step is metal finder. Is it possible to make a program for Nemo-Mer-Sailfish which would use magnetometer to alert user about a piece of metal in the immediate vicinity of the device?
Best wishes.

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

Magnetometer is allright for compass usage, but unfortunately too unsensitive for locating anything except very strong magnets at close range. (verystrong=neodyme, closerange=20cm)

The "treasure hunters" metal detectors work on different principle; there's a EM coil that's fed with a frequency and another used as pickup, and having metallic objects nearby will affect the mu of the system creating a measurable voltage differential in the coils.

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

Well, 10cm range would be quite enough for me. As long it works through grass, hay, leaves, water, et cetera. Finding a needle in a haystack...
And about magnetometer sensitivity... How to Turn Your iPhone or iPad into a Metal Detector. I don't expect that Apple used a hyper-sensitive magnetometer in their products.
Best wishes.

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

It's interesting, that the whole Maemo-Community seems to be happy with ~250 apps. I wonder, what are the other 999.750 apps in Play Store / Apple Store for?

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

Hmmm, a lot of fart apps, crapware, vires, other unneeded stuff, and let's say 5000 useful stuffs? :)
250 is an underestimation, guess 1500 would be a better approx.
