backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

as the topic depicts itself,so do we stand a chance ? just didnt want to live curiousity .
Meego hardware /software adaptation to N900 has already been done though many might say thats not enough but still somewhere the work is going on for that (i wish stskeeps could confirm this ) .What about N9/N950 apps as if they could be available for N900 as well ? N900 welcomes Qt apps nicely .
So should we expect or NOT that some thing will embrace maemo5 again?
OH yes ,it is possible now and yeah we are gonna get some decent apps from meego now .:rolleyes:

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

Most Harmattan community apps use QML and Qt Components, of which there's a port for Fremantle.

Now, if that port doesn't work properly, the official version could be installed when Qt 4.7.4 is released in the next CSSU update.

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

And when is the next update ? ;)
Can I get some .ts file for translate cssu to swedish?

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

Qt Components are already available in extras-devel, so it should be possible to port Meego-Harmattan applications to the N900. The obstacles are:

1. You can't redistribute the graphics used in Meego-Harmattan.

2. There are some components that are specific to Meego-Harmattan, and are not available in Freemantle.

MAG commented on another thread that all components will be available following a future CSSU update, so that will make things easier. The only problem is that users will be required to have the CSSU installed to access the applications.

EDIT: Too slow. :rolleyes:

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

Probably today, if the connection in the dorm helps.

Umm, .ts files are for Qt apps, non of which are in the CSSU, gtk apps use .po files which are already there.

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

this is one great news ,i am thinking about the part '' COULD BE INSTALLED '' ,hope it works & works well .
i believe this will be a revival of N900 and ye every one will welcome a new feel on N900 .
between i have been told by some developers that n900 has some advantages over N950 .that makes me think i own a devil device ,nothing else could be better than N900 and this community .
waiting for next cssu ,desperately .

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

CSSU update today?!
wow! excitement overload!
maybe this is how a kid who had too much chocolate feels like! :)


EDIT:
I'm charging my phone right now. :)
Backupmenu next. :)
CSSU later! :)
Thanks CSSU team!

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

If Nokia and partners don't release all the shiny new N9 apps for N900, after preaching to all devs about doing exactly that for the past couple years, they'll be even more hated by us than ever before...

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

well i am optimistic and MAG said something above there ,so i believe him and check my posts to make you believe that atleast devs are trying hard to make things happen .Besides i am trying to contact inean and kate ,as i see maemo still on top.Hope things get nicer and nicer by the time .

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

offtopic--currently typing this from chromium

ciao

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

okey guys ,as i promised that i will let you know about a good news for our lovely dovely maemo ,so here it is : check this out ..http://vimeo.com/28927228
for more info check in here : http://forum.meego.com/showthread.php?t=4264

this is one great work by inean & kate ,great thanks to stskeeps for his help on this project .
now its time to listen up devs .

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

http://wiki.maemo.org/QtComponents
any one may help him out on this .devs please take this seriously so that maemo 5 now can run harmattan apps easily .hope it will require only minimal changes .;p
http://wiki.maemo.org/QtComponents/Miniature
now who else is going to make changes to run every harmattan app on maemo 5 ?
guys i need feedback on this ! please !

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

Thanks for this link!

As explained in another thread, what would be great is to a have a Maemo 5 maintainer stepping in. mikhas and me are focused in bugfixing and the development of new features. As you can see from the wiki page, filling the gap to make Miniature work in Maemo is not that big/complex (after someone like Inean has sorted out the path, that is).

It was great when timoph volunteered to take care of MeeGo CE releases and it will be great if someone steps in to take care of Maemo releases.

Re: [should or should not expect] meego apps will be created for N900(maemo5) as well?
 

guys dont forget to add catalouge in your repos,add it from wiki page/installation and for details READ the whole page !
i believe this is big ,i hope some famous personality would approve this ,i hope we have achieved this goal to run every harmattan app on N900 .inean made it easy ,qgil has approved this here http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=195,i hope every one does .
i am very much excited on this .N900 with a meego theme feel with harmattan apps while running MAEMO5 ,lol ,i would simply say WOW.
just waiting for apps to be ported ..NOW !
we need a maintainer of maemo releases ,please any one who knows things ,step in )))))))))) :o
check 1st post .

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

first backport for N900 from harmattan though this is just a start !!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9R0L...el_video_title
enjoy !

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Wowww, great news!

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

N900CE with Meego 1.3 soon comming with much of the open stuff from Harmattan... Right now QtQuick is faster on Meego than Maemo.

Thats the way to go. Reason:

* Newer Kernel
* Still supported by payed engineers
* bugs from Fremantle wiped out

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

thanks prankster for the effort! :) this is one of those moments when hitting a button doesn't feel enough. the community/council needs your energy/enthusiasm!

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

off topic :
meego is nice but maemo is far best than any OS in the world .
to do list in upcoming months :
1-meego UI theme on maemo 5
2-meego apps running smoothly on maemo 5 ,since Qt mobility 1.2 & Qt 4.7.4 are the same as on harmattan N9 .
cons : resolution issue , missing libraries from some harmattan apps .
Except these currently N900 is good in all terms .
on topic : more to come !! stay tuned !!

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Thats Amazing, I given up on MeeGo backports, but i am happy to see we now have advanced.

Along with CSSU, having Meego apps and possibly that very cool N9 theme, might make me want to keep the N900 further then next year.

So Thanks to everybody working on this!

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

thank you but this is not my work ,i am just an insider ,this is really a great work by many people mainly inean /kate/stskeeps/mikhas/quim and i am sorry if i am missing some one's name .And yeah meego is on the top at the moment ,but hopefully we will be able to see more for our N900 ,as the Qt components which are available in repos are quite compatible with meego 1.2 release/later release editions .So i am nothing guys,open source is a community of great geeks and great people .just own it by each word you type ,i do ,hope you do as well .
cherio !

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

@prankster: one most annoying thing for the time so far is a lack of proper portrait VKB... i see in all these videos, that "maliit" is functioning quite well, and i want to ask you: is it working under this demo app, or is it ported already for n900??? and if not, how tough is to be done???
btw: NICE news :) :) :)

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

@ neboja ,http://wiki.maemo.org/QtComponents read till the end & mainly installation part .
work is going on to get things in proper order but ye we having loads of obstacles in our way .hope it will be alright in the end .
News for diablo N8x0 :If diablo gets to 4.7.4 then meego apps could be running on diablo but that is a MAY BE answer cuz It all depends on the differences between N8XX and N900's gconf keys and HAL and MCE dbus interfaces. Be a volunteer & start coding/testing .

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

ohh... seem to have missed that installation part :D
will give it a try ;)

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Well even though QT 4.7.4 and QtMobility 1.2 are supported by the N900, some developers still won't create apps for the N900 as well. Look at 4squick for example, it's available for MeeGo and S^3 but not N900, because of QT problems (at least that's what I've been told). If every developer will say the same... :|

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

everything looks cool!!

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Nokia should atleast backport its Nokia Maps software to show its commitment to code once, deploy everywhere strategy..... otherwise it is just a bag of hypocrisy

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Which may have been resolved by the latest Qt packages (which resolved problems in twimgo, kasvopus and other QML-based apps).

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

[Announce] Miniature chess for Maemo

Please keep there any discussion specific to the Miniature app.

Just a note: these are not ports. The adaptations required to make a Qt Quick app to make it run in Maemo in addition to MeeGo Harmattan are minimal. I'm not the expert on this, but I guess even a single package can be offered installable in both OSs?

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

the new QtComponents catalogue mat not work in china or in those countries where ( dropbox.com ) is blocked ,so dont panic ,if the catalogue does not work for you ,the only reason is your connection .
ciao

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Is there any problem in uploading it to extras-devel instead?

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

On the behalf of this lovely thread and this lovely community ,i would request to all of you to do your efforts to attract harmattan app developers to back-port their applications to N900 as well .
i asked council to take a look at it and do something about it but with no replies.
probably only my request was not enough so i urge all of you to ask council to set up such environment so that harmattan devs may willingly port thier apps to N900 as well ,just like N900 apps are being ported to N9 .check in here : http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=41451&page=64 and make your point clear .
Our only hope for the apps right now is harmattan apps which can be ported to N900 ( fremantle ) easily ,just need some tweaks .We need to explore this concept on our community so that council takes a notice and we get an official maintainer for the back-ports and also the confirmation that N9 apps will be ported to n900 for sure .
New council is gonna be announced in days from now on ,so we need to request them with our honest suggestions ,rest what ever community decides ,i personally will go with that ,but YOU ? where would you go ? what would you do ?
If you wanna do something ,do it now ,attract harmattan devs for more apps ,cuz we are quite hungry for more apps !!
ciao

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

next butaca and miniature for Harmattan I installed and MeeCast (on the maemo5) and works perfectly the only thing missing is a swipe :) everything else is totally office.
For other applications Harmattan that could be installed in Fremantle missing libqtcore - 4.7.4, libqtgui4 - 4.7.4, and libstdc + +6 - 4.4.0
I hope that someone from the people who work at CSSU and overall community power, in the next edition CSSU has been able to provide this for the future of Fremantle and Maemo 5

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

i wish if some CSSU personelle could confirm whether we can or cant have libqtcore - 4.7.4, libqtgui4 - 4.7.4, and libstdc + +6 - 4.4.0 ,atleast we can have the joy of a good news .

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

already know why i can't to add this repository although I am not from chinа.Someone has managed to add this repository?

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

Wait till kate allows inean to overwrite current Qtcomponents ,there are some issues regarding meego CE N900 version and also those Qtcomponents are not upstream ,not yet ,might have some issues .It will be fine in the end .

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

You don't need to be the maintainer to upload a new package to extras-devel, only to promote it to testing.

So don't wait too much, just push the package!

Re: backports for Fremantle from harmattan ( WIP )
 

extra devel already contains Qtcomponents which are not compatible with harmattan apps ,there are missing binaries libqtcore - 4.7.4, libqtgui4 - 4.7.4, and libstdc + +6 - 4.4.0 which are some how tweaked in new Qtcomponents and thats how they were made usable.To promote a package into extra-devel one has to overwrite the old qtcomponents .Which has not been allowed ,not yet,though efforts are being made upto date .
Between when a package is promoted to extra devel ,one has to take care of the updates so yeah a maintainer is needed .though hopefully when new Qtcomponents will be promoted to extra devel ,we will find a maintainer for them as well .
