NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Hello,

More than a 1.5 years ago I've created NWTBible — application for reading New World Translation of Bible. Long time I was unable to promote it even to Extras Testing due to dependancy to GTK Webkit.

Year ago I've finally managed to get both libgtkwebkit and NWTBible to Extras Testing. But since I already had N950, app lacked much interest from my side, I have not promoted it and now it is still in Extras Testing. My fault.

Now I want to promote it to Extras, but I've lost all contacts with real users who were contacting me long ago.

So, N900 users, could you please try to install NWTBible, give it a 10-minutes test and if it works correctly for you, vote for its promoting to Extras?

Voting pages:
NWTBible itself: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in.../nwtbible/1.3/
libwebkit-1.0-1: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...0-svn41137-18/

I would really appreciate your help!

Hi, I' ready.
I installed again and no verses appear after downloading.

Hello!

Thanks for trying, but a month ago website from which NWTBible downloads Bible chapters changed its domain name and HTML layout and this broke NWTBible :(

I hadn't time yet to fix this. I will write here when I will fix the app for using new website.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

still nothing happen, someone please fix this.Thanks :(

I am a happy user of this program. I have a couple of languages installed (from before the website changes). One thing that would be nice to have is a way to filter the languages list to only the ones already downloaded. This would make switching between languages a bit easier. Thanks for this wonderful program.

Sorry, it's KJV and nothing but KJV for me.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Hello,

Sorry for late answer.
Give me a week and I will fix NWTBible. I will user the server of my N9 app MeeBible as a gateway to new jw.org site for NWTBible.

I will see if it is possible for me to add language filtering to the app without having device in hands. I sold my N900 some time ago...

The King James Bible is a good translation, but it was not inspired by God. No translation is inspired, only the original writings. That is why one has to be careful and open minded when analyzing a translation. The book "Truth in Translation: Accuracy and Bias in English Translations of the New Testament" is an excellent resource for understanding this.

The New World Translation is an excellent translation.

Hi all,

Please try this version: https://www.dropbox.com/s/8yrd9tdjfr..._1.4_armel.deb

I have no N900 and so I can't test it thoroughly. But I hope it should work.

Please click Clear cache to be sure you don't see cached texts.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Thanks for the update!

Had to install 'old' version first.
It's missing some lib*.* Files when installing just the .deb file.

Think it's a handy app.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Yes, dependencies are not installed automatically when installing from deb-file. When this deb-file will be tested and published in respository, required libs will be installing automatically.

The main quesition: Does 1.4 works? :) Does it display Bible text well? Does verse selection work as expected?

I have sold my N900 1.5 years ago and I've created this build blindly, without any testing. So, could you please report me how does it work?

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Yep...it downloads the text, and all seems to be working.
I'll give it a full try-out tonight when i'm at home.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

NWTbible works great in online mode, but loading failed when reading nwtbible offline.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

same here...says its downloading,that takes awhile.
As soon your offline, its lost....

Where does it store the files?

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

The only solution now is pushing forward button below and loading chapter by chapter from genesis to revelation so nwtbible can be used for offline reading.

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Thank you so much Ilya for your time fixed this nwtbible gateway for us, you're really genius could blindly build nwtbible 1.4 without any n900 device.Do you accept paypal for donation?

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

same here..downloaded all by hand.
Works great ;)

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Wow, you guys deserve a pat in the head for being good testers. :)

I, on the other hand, am still with the old version. I'm hoping a fixed new one comes soon. ;)

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

Sorry, guys, i've missed notifications from the forum about new posts for a some reason :(

So, automatic downloading doesn't work anymore while pre-downloading by hands does? Did I understood correctly?

Re: NWTBible — Testers wanted
 

That is what I understand. That is why I am still using the old one.
