Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

two more apps added. Both are unadvertised specials, both installed and run

emelfm2 0.50-rev29
Garnet vm 1.04b

rootfs 57 Mb free

The one w (B) is now installed and run on my N900 and rootfs are as reported above,

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

What does (B) mean?

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

"(B) = installed, run and tested by bun"

Those are the ones he's installed and tested

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

And everyone concerned about rootfs, I also reported my rootfs, 57 MB with all the installed apps, I think it is pretty respectable.

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

I've downloaded some ringtones and wallpapers from zedge. No themes as yet though. I couldn't do it from the phone for some reason but saved it directly to the phone via the PC.

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Mind to identify AND comment about your ringtones and wallpaper, so that one can jump right into it rather than testing about it? I have no idea whether there are more than one ring tones available.

Is Droid Fonts installed by me, or it comes with N900? Can I take it out, it occupied preciously 4.8 MB! Anybody knows?

Tia,

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Sorry bunanson, unsure what you mean. But to clarify, www.zedge.net is a site offering ringtones, wallpapers etc for a huge range of phones. I like to waste time blinging up my phones so have downloaded a fair amount of stuff from them over time.

I was surprised they already had stuff for the N900. Sure, nowhere near as much as the rest but that's to be expected. Best of all, it's free!

And big thanks for your input re apps, really cool to know what works and what doesn't.

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

I have never tried ringtones, obviously I do not know what I am talking :) I will go to the website and take a look.

I am glad you like the idea of tabulate 'installable and working' apps. I also reported my rootfs, just in case concerns about optification. Mind to check your installed apps to see if it is included yet?

6 blue squares>Settings>More...>App manager>Uninstall

TIA,

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Hey Bunanson I'll be blunt, you're speaking a language I don't actually understand! I'm a plug and play kinda guy and depend wholly on guys like you to do the hard yards re tinkering with the innards so I can learn and impress my friends!

But be warned re Zedge, it's bloody addictive!

If it helps, the ringtones simply load as an audio file and the themes and wallpapers go in the image file. There aren't any apps to load. Even the games were loaded into my app manager on the N95.

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Some of the apps I installed are essential apps.

Rootsh - gain root
OpenSSH - transfer files to desktop over wifi
Rdesktop/VNCviewer - remote connect to desktop
emelfm2 - there is a learning curve, hey, take the mystery of Linux away, excellent for newbies like myself, it is a very good FM and comes with a handy editor/renamer, highly recommend
DiskUsage - check your disk
Conky - sysinfo

Again, not quite sure about optification, so I report my rootfs space.

so far....

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

I've installed and tested these so far.

- ForecaWeather
- Petrovich
- Bounce Evolution
- Tennix!
- Recorder
- MasterGear
- Transmission
- eCoach
- Documents To-Go
- iNes
- Mad Bomber
- VNC Viewer
- Xournal
- SuperTux
- DialCentral
- ATI85 (Added TI-83 Rom)
- account-plugin-butterfly
- Ogg Support
- Decoders Support
- load-applet
- Pixelpipe Upload and Share
- rootsh
- Simple Brightness Applet
- TouchSearch

And so far, I haven't noticed any lag, slowness, crashes or anything like that since I first tried the N900..

How can I find out how much I have space I have on my root? So I can report back on how much I have left.

Thanks in advance,

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Install DiskUsage or Conky, either one will have rootfs report. Thanks for the apps report, and the strong statement of how your N900 behave after all your apps installed.

Or
xterm
df
will also show rootfs space left

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

To install emelfm2
Go here, click the green installation button, save the file to N900 (or save to PC and transfer to N900)

On tablet,
xterm
sudo gainroot
goto the folder where the file was saved,
dpkg -i emelfm2-0.50-rev29.all.deb

Edit: optified version see thread #1

That is it.

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Hello again bun,

I have checked my root space and it's 31.70MiB available...

I believe that either Transmission or the proftpd installed something on the root partition?? not sure will check into it more
and see what exactly is taking space in there.. (But imo 31.70 isn't that bad of a number :p)

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

xterm
df
will show rootfs space
or if you installed DiskUsage, click on the green block of rootfs, will show trees or maybe, the breakdown of file size. Or in App Manager>Uninstall will show each package total size. If all fails, GVM/RescoExplora will show size of each file/package, or search on this forum, there is a command to show package size, one by one though.

Oh, sure, 31.70 MB space is plenty, on the old N8x0, I know they are different, even 5 MB space left, system still runs smoothly as long as you are NOT using Fennec. :-)

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

installation ends with some errors. is this expected?

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Yes, with DiskUsage, I think error is with some dependency not met. Does it run?

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Another addition, OVI maps; step by step here, and pics for your visual enjoyment,

The red dot at the center is GPS locked, and looked at Left upper corner, internet connection is OFF, i.e., GPS locked without internet connection and tracking for route, more coming up.....on ovi maps review, soon


Edit: with ALL the (B) apps installed as thread #1, rootfs remains a respectable 58 MB (62.2 MB) Free....today

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

can you give a full guide of how to install stuff with xterm.

i tried installing emelfm2 but after sudo gainroot, i didn't know whato do. :(

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

xterm
sudo gainroot
dpkg -i AppName #Name of app package, i.e. dpkg -i emelfm2*.deb if this is the only file with this name

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

MidnightCommander installed and run. pic attached - 6.7 Mb, not sure about optification

bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

anything for wiicontrol? thanks.

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Morton -sorry- Midnight Commander works fine.

Version: 4.6.2-pre1-1maemo5
Package size: 2.9Mb
Root before: 25.7 M
Root after: 22.3 M
Ate: 3.4 M!

I'm guess not optified? (I'm new to this).

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

I saw a facebook application!! i can't find it in the application manager!!

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

It's in the menu?

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Hey bunanson or anyone :)

when i try to install emelfm2 in xterm i get this

dpkg: error processing emelfm2-0.50-rev29.all.deb (--instal
l):
cannot access archive: No such file or directory
Errors were encountered while processing :
emelfm2-0.50-rev29.all.deb

I have the .deb file on on the n900 i've even tried including the 0.5.0 like how the file actually is named.

Also thought maybe it installed, but tried to open it with:

sudo gainroot
emelfm2

I get
/bin/sh:emelfm2: not found

Also thanks, i'm a newb and i've learned a lot from your posts.

Edit: I can't install any .deb file at all :confused:

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

You're probably not in the directory that you saved the package to.

Stick to installing applications through the Application Manager please.

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

Updated. See threat #1 for new apps included. Updated since the maemo5 update and include ovi stores fun stuff.

Still have 40 MB free space on /rootfs

pics for your eye visual. Pls post your app pics too, we want to see them.

Enjoy,



bun

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

^ hey from where u get those apps? seems great...

Re: N900 Installable/working apps so far ...
 

The pics in the above posts are apps from Ovi store, just open a free account and dl and install. All free, some may need a dollar or two, nothing like your N900 :) Moobox is in your app manager.

Apps in thread #1 should all be in Extras-Devel and Extras-testing. As everybody say so, enable to dl and disenble when done.

hope this helps
