Back with an N9 after 2 years away - advice please
 

I missed this phone so much so when one came up cheap I had to have one.

The advice I need is this.

What's the best os to use?

I need to use facebook, maps and email. Normal phone functions too, but like most I would like to be able to install apps via the repositories I used to use. I just don't want to start messing about in the standard os to then find out I need/want another.

Cheers,

Wayne.

Harmattan is the one to use.
All other are just proof-of-concept (you may check 'ubiboot') if you like).

Facebook IDK but I guess it is broken.
Email works flawlessly.
Maps is perfect after enabling developer mode and editing two config files (do not have the link at hand but http://talk.maemo.org/msearch.php)

First thing to do is download ancelads n9 repo mirror from openrepos.net and tap on it in download window. This will disable old deprecated Nokia repositories and switch to a mirror.
Second would be to install warehouse from openrepos - the synonym for Nokia store.

More?

Thank you for the help. Found a backup from my last n9 so have most things working already, even without the Nokia account.

One thing I cant get working is caldav with gmail calendars? Tried everything I can over the last 2 hours and nothing works.

Is there a new server address or os caldav dead on the n9

Any ideas?

Nope, sorry.
And it seems also ancelad does not know what's going on.
