Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
As requested by user Custodian, who seems to be maintaining this package, please find below additional and current information. As quoted (with some typos corrected):

I currently maintain Nelisquare, and have released huge updates (lots of features were added recently).

Packages are available in the extras-devel repository, and the main development site with source code, screenshots, wiki and issues is available at github - https://github.com/custodian/nelisquare/wiki.


=========

Hey guys,
Tommi has just tweeted the release of Nelisquare, a new Foursquare client for the N900. Read about it here.

Screenshot from his website:

http://www.substanceofcode.com/wp-co...nt-Y901UV1.png

I haven't downloaded it yet, but I will be soon, and will post an update once I have. Some users have suggested they've had problems, but apparently this is related to the Foursquare API being down.

Edit: Finally got around to installing this app, haven't had much of a play yet. As you will read from other posters, this app has a dependency on libqtm-11, which has dependencies to other packages that are in Extras-devel.

So to successfully get this app running, either before or after installation, enable extras-devel (with all the usual disclaimers, read here), and do the following in xterm:

Code:

root
apt-get install libqtm-11
exit

This installs the QT Mobility APIs that the app requires, I'm not sure if it breaks any other apps.

Hmmm..... looks promising, but when I launch it all I get is a black screen.

Not sure why the API would be a problem to just get the GUI up. Not that any of my other FourSquare API using apps aren't having any problems right now...

I had black screen as well but after that it started working:

(Install as root)
apt-get install libqtm-11

what does this program do ? Didnt really get it.

@shnigi https://foursquare.com/ may the google be with you. It's a client, for a location-based web service.

cddiede 2011-05-05 19:18

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Does anyone know if Nelisquare uses the original Foursquare APIs like Barriosquare does or if it uses the new APIs like Fourcircle does?

Don't want to emotionally invest in Nelisquare if it uses the older APIs since those will be DOA come August...

cddiede 2011-05-05 19:49

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Holy crap, this app is beautiful!!

Only bugs so far:

Took a stop and restart of the app after account authentication to dismiss the copyright/ownership popup dialog

The "Please Wait" message sometimes does not dismiss even after the GPS locks on.

The app can't display the "places" "me" "to do" or "friends" row of icons unless you are in portrait mode.

The "To Do" icon just goes to the places list, so to-do seems to not work.


But hot damn it's pretty neat. Sometimes I forget how fast and smooth QT apps can be on the N900!

Have you installed libqtm-11-declarative ?

If this doesn't work, Try installing QML Quick Widgets from the repos. Pretty sure this app includes all of the dependencies required to run Nelisquare

Will do this and see

I had this problem when I first opened the application. But once I completed the on screen registration with FourSquare and closed, then re-opened Nelisquare, the blue pop up window did not return.

Are you installing the qt elements via apt-get?

If you're just installing them one at a time, you wont pull in the dependencies.

Try typing as root in the terminal:

apt-get remove libqtm-11
(you'll have to answer yes to confirm)

Now you can type as root in the terminal:

apt-get install libqtm-11
(you should see it asking for permission to download and installed several packages in addition to libqtm-11. This means you're getting the requried dependencies for Nelisquare).

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Hey guys,
libqtm-11 has dependencies that are in extras-devel. You will need to enable extras-devel to successfully install libqtm-11 I will edit the original post to include this information.

For those trying to get rid of the splash screen with the developers details, just exit and reenter the app and it will go away.

Just like travla said: enable the extras-devel catalog, then repeat those apt-get commands.

Finally noticed that the Nelisquare logo itself is a button that will display the last system message when pressed in portrait mode, and when pressed in landscape mode it gives you the "missing" icons.

Beautiful!

It also works in landscape mode, just tap the title bar instead of the title. Very nice app.

Okay, so if you had devel enabled and ran apt-get installed on the libqtm-11, you should have pulled in all the dependencies.

Can you run Nelisquare from the xterminal, and then after Nelisquare opens with the black screen, switch back over to the terminal and copy and paste to us what errors it displays.

Okay, so not all of your dependencies were installed. Make sure you have extras repository enabled and install with:

apt-get install qtquickcompat

If Nelisquare still bombs out, check the terminal again and install whatever remaiing qt apps it's still complaining about. Not sure how you could have installed libqtm-11 via apt-get and not get the qtquickcompat packages...

Something strange still happens to me.

After the app starts, even after Recent check-ins are displayed, the PLEASE WAIT message does not disappear !

Also, by clicking Nearby , nothing seems to happen.

As for the the Please wait message, according to the developer:

"Yes, that is the case when there is something wrong with the API call or network connection. Adding more error detection to upcoming versions."


The Nearby button in the friends tab does not work. Probably a time out. The above future error detection will help with that. Overall the entire friends tab is a bit buggy...

Click on the NeliSquare button and select Places (or just click on the places icon when in portrait mode) and you'll find that the basic check in and search functions work perfectly.

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
So I saw an update in the repos for Nelisquare today. Unfortunately, the update does not seem to contain the actual /opt/usr/bin/nelisquare file to launch the application....

What version are you running? There is something weird with the version numbers, 0.2.4 was built on 30-05 (i.e. in the future???), and 0.2.3 was built today. Here is the link:

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
I updated again and the app starts again. But there is a WHOLE LOT of LAG from the moment I tap the icon, and the app finally starts.

Also, it seems slower in finding venues. (getting the GPS fix)

And, I've wanted to say this earlier, it seems that, most of the times, not all venues nearby are displayed. Even though I'm in the 100 meters area of several location, only some of them are displayed. I oftenly find myself having to manually search to display locations are actually nearby...

hi.. im unable to login 4sq via Nsq. application opens and i even can click the bottons.. but it does not happen to connect or give the login screen.

ok now here is what happened:
- installed Nelisqaure
- logged to 4sq
it was working perfactly. until i decided to:
- remove access to Nelisqaure from 4sq setting page
- reinstalled Nelisquare (ive no idea why i did this)
and after that it wont allow me to login to 4sq when i open the application .. as i said earliar, application do load. even it opens the shout box.

i did the same thing to Borriosqaure but it works fine.

thank you..

Re: Nelisquare a Foursquare client from the maker of Twimgo and Kasvopus
 
Updated to 0.2.6.

A few updates in the checkin window, we can now add Tips and To-Do's directly from the Venue information box.

The app seems a little faster too.

Quick question though: is there any timeframe for the comments feature and photo upload with check-in ?
