Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

I got running the frostwire p2p (open source version of limewire) Software on the n900.It is working fine.

You need to install the java jre for arm.
I found it here:
http://rapidshare.com/#!download|273...1.tar.gz|34124
( with root privileges)

you extract the archive to /opt (you also can do it with filebox filemanager,with root mode activated in settings )

Code:

tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/ejre-1_6_0_21.tar.gz -C /opt/

and then link it with :

Code:

ln -s /opt/ejre1.6.0_21/bin/* /usr/bin/

and then

Code:

chmod 777 /usr/bin/java

now you can download the frostwire tarball
from http://www.frostwire.com/?id=downloads end extract it to a folder like /home/user/Mydocs/

Code:

tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/frostwire-X.XX.X.noarch.tar.gz -C /home/user/Mydocs/

you can launch it with

Code:

java -jar /home/user/Mydocs/frostwire-X.XX.X.noarch/FrostWire.jar

(note thate your Frostwire folder or archive name may be a different one, replace X.XX.X with current frostwire version number)

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

Oh o dont know, if it kills memory.
I think it is better to set the folders to the memorycard.. it is saver

and i will not run it for hours..

For ease of use, make an alias for the last line of code. No need to constantly reenter all of that when you want to run the program.

Sorry i forgot the option -C

Code:

tar -xvzf /YOUR_DOWNLOAD_FOLDER_PATH/ejre-1_6_0_21.tar.gz -C /opt/

If there still is a problem you can use filebox filemanager to extract the archives. (you have to enable the root option insettings)

Hi,
it should be possible to make a launch icon for the comand line like the way
mentioned in this thread

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...hortcut+comand

it would be more comfortable

It's for 13 year olds and people who don't care about music quality.
I thought all these P2P clients died in the early 2000's. Can't believe these things are still going.

the android version is making it very interesting. There will be a new sharing community. It has nice device to device sharing function, that will make it more attractive.

Mp3 quality is ok for a mobile device..

frostwire also supports torrent downloads..

WOW now i found out that you can get bigger fonts.. cool :-)

try following:

Code:

 cd  /home/user/MyDocs/frostwire-4.21.2.noarch/

 java -jar FrostWire.jar

you also can make a shell srcipt with this two commands

for leafpad you could try

Code:

sudo leafpad

Code:

 sudo gainroot

leafpad

(with rootsh installed)

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

well congratulations on getting this to work, despite the overwhelming opinion that these should be rightfully left to die. perhaps frostwire is right for android, but not n900, all the same every new app is welcome!

for those asking about memory, the way p2p software like this, or torrents, downloads data in random order and writes to memory in pieces is bad for flash memory, if the n900 senses a corrupt block it will set that memory to read only and it will need formatted. so definately set all p2p programs to download to memory card rather than phone memory to save any major hassle when you encounter corruption. there is a program called flashlite which looks to adress the p2p flash corrupting problem, but i dont know if this would be compatible with frostwire on n900, i'll stick to torrents myself for now.

try-alls

2011-01-17 12:32

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

@festivalnut thanks finally someone has summed up the flash problem in plain english lol,
been readin up on ctorrent + flashlite an its all cli (which i cant get on with for apps like this) so really we should wait till some coder make a gui combing flashlite n torrents client an its available in the repo's, also how does it work on androids flash memory?
time to delete my java an frostwire folder etc

@lq_sunshine awesome work dude

i also have problems with crating a .desktop file

there is a patch problem:

when i try to start it from a different folder and not from the program folder like

java -jar /PATH_TO_PROGRAM_FOLDER/FrostWire.jar

i get some errors (Startup Problem and a error window)

When i make a shell script like:

Code:

cd  /home/user/MyDocs/frostwire-4.21.2.noarch/

 java -jar FrostWire.jar

it works from the terminal but when i start the sricpt from the .desktop file i get a internal error with x term and nothing happens.

what could be the solution?

1 Attachment(s)

update: someone from the n900 Java thread helped me to get it running

extract the files from archive and copy "start_frostwire.sh" into your frostwire program folder, then you copy the program folder to /opt/
(easy with filebox)

Next you copy frostwire.desktop to /usr/share/applications/hildon/

thats it.
You have to wait a while until in launches

Re: Is there a Limewire like program for N900?

here is a more simple process to get this work:

1. open this link from your phone https://garage.maemo.org/frs/downloa....1-1_armel.deb, after installation is complete

2. download frostwire to your computer, from here( the latest version of the tarball is not compatible with th mmjre, you have to use this ) http://newyork1.frostwire.com/frostw....noarch.tar.gz

3. extract de downloaded file frostwire-4.21.1.noarch.tar.gz

4. copy the exctracted folder frostwire-4.21.1.noarch to your phone, for example in /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/frostwire-4.21.1.noarch

5. open Xterminal

Code:

cd MyDocs/.documents/frostwire-4.21.1.noarch/

java -jar FrostWire.jar

And its running
