Re: SURVEY: Who's Developing for Maemo5/N900, What, and How - Check-In here
Well, right now I am in the middle of finishing a project completely unrelated to Maemo or the N900. As soon as that is done, I want to start developing a couple of things that I had in my N95 and that I miss in my N900.
The first one is a little daemon to add support for the media controls (volume, pause/resume, etc...) in the remote that comes with the N95 wired headphones. The other one is an application that would let the user tell the N900 to carry out actions (starting Wifi, changing the profile, etc.) depending on the ID of the cell it is connected to. Something similar to this: http://nokia-n95-software.epocware.c..._Profiles.html So: Language/s: C++ IDE: not yet decided (Eclipse hopefully) Project: as described above. Progress: 0% License: GNU GPL Distribution: Free Purpose/goal of project: I had those in my N95 and I want them in my N900. Greetings. |

I've been trying to go to https://garage.maemo.org/ and it won't load in my browser on my PC. I assume that this is because of the https at the beginning of the URL, are ordinary n900 users excluded from this site? Or is there a special way to enter the garage?
Thx |
Re: SURVEY: Who's Developing for Maemo5/N900, What, and How - Check-In here
I'd like to thank all of you guys for your hard work. My N900 is the bomb because of Maemo 5, but also for the apps that run within that ecosystem. Looking forward to seeing more complete projects, and hoping someone comes with a process, thread, and applcation manager similar to the Windows Task Manager or S60's JBak Taskman.

Re: SURVEY: Who's Developing for Maemo5/N900, What, and How - Check-In here
Hey guys I'm trying to read through all of this stuff and it's seriously like I'm reading another language. All of these apps are weird letters, symbols, names, that no regular end user would ever understand what they are downloading. Or if someone like me was looking for a certain kind of App, I either have to know what the name in the Linux language is or post a thread or search threads.
Seriously, Nokia released this phone and Maemo 5 saying this time it is user-friendly where everyone can have a great time with the phone. Instead, I think they released it to have a bunch of testers go at it for about a years worth of time before it ever becomes "Awesome User-Friendly" like the (should I dare say "I-Phone) and believe me I'm not a fan of the i-Phone at all! Names like Pidgin, Haiuku, eCoach, liqtorch, liqview, whatever you wanna call them...Why can't we use normal names that give a hint as to what we are downloading?! I have such high hopes for this phone and Maemo 5 but I have a feeling Android and Apple are gonna pound even harder while all of us Linux and Maemo freaks are sitting here speaking a language of symbols, letters, codecs, whatever. Oh well...I still love my N900 but I'm starting to get really bored of it and getting really tired of this Ovi Store for Maemo in the "Coming Soon" headlines forever! |

Looking at Matlab (if anyone has experience with using Matlab/Simulink on embedded Linux, systems, please PM me - there are a few questions I'd like to ask you) IDE: KDevelop4/Vim (Linux), XCode (Mac), and probably VS on Windows, but I haven't asked the Windows guys Project: Positioning technology (hardware && software) Progress: Prototype essentially done, but partially blocked by a third-party bug.

Purpose/goal of project: Develop a cross-platform, infrastructure-free solution for use in mobile context awareness, routing, etc. My personal reason for joining was to give me an interesting project to work on; I need/want to learn Qt and the Maemo Platform, and I learn much faster diving in headfirst than studying from a book. Oh, and the loan of an N900 was a small part of it. ;) Thanks Nokia! ------- |
Re: SURVEY: Who's Developing for Maemo5/N900, What, and How - Check-In here
Without a doubt one of the best threads here. Thanks to code177 for starting it and to all contributors doing such a great job of helping us noobs enjoy the N900's obvious potential. I have no idea what most of you folks are talking about here but the 'purpose/goals' section has me checking apps manager regularly in anticipation. Big cheers!
