Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec - How to get it working?
yep, my case too
|
Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec - How to get it working?
We are gonna need a more in depth tutorial specifically for the N9 before this works.
|
Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec - How to get it working?
Have you tried starting it without devel-su? I don't think you should run Fennec as root, and it's quite possible that root can't connect to the display (as it shouldn't).
|
Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec - How to get it working?
Of course, but user has no permission to access that directories.

Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec - How to get it working?
awesome, I was talking to him about this ages ago and meant to ask him about the progress.
Def. will check ths out later, could be a nice alternative to Snowshoe, thanks for the thread! |
Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec - How to get it working?
There was an update on July 28 and Romaxa even posted his results on his blog and published a Youtube Video!
Awesome stuff so far, hell it is fast! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=HUmjHWpe-XI I'm giving it another try and will update 1st post if I have success. Edit: Yeah it works and hell it's promising! engadget website (not the mobile version) is so smooth and fast on it. There is no way yet to interact with the website (for example no way to click a link), but it has a basic UI for back/forward, reload and entering an URL (with native VKB). |
Re: IPCLiteAPI Fennec (Firefox) - Hell it's fast!
Updated 1st post with new instructions and observations.

Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
I have installed nighty fennec and now this . When I execute "MOZ_ACCELERATED=1 ./qtMozQmlEmbed -url google.com" (without commas) I get this :
RM696-21-3_PR_001:/opt/xulrunner/lib/xulrunner-17.0a1# MOZ_ACCELERATED=1 ./qtMoz QmlEmbed -url google.com -sh: ./qtMozQmlEmbed: Operation not permitted RM696-21-3_PR_001:/opt/xulrunner/lib/xulrunner-17.0a1# |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
No need for nightly fennec.
You can't start it as root user, try it as normal user. |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
oot, but everytime use nightly build is always crashing here, :/
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Impressive! Looking forward to a fully working version. Is this going to be back ported to the N900 as well?

Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
@ ibrakalifa
? Nightly still works great here. This doesn't use any files of Firefox or Fennec at all, it uses xulrunner, which is a separate installation. |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Ah okay, my bad, just install latest nightlt build and its work now, :cool
thx so much |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
I had to restart my phone after using this (well I probably didn't have to, but I didn't feel like digging through the processes to find out which one I had to kill.)
It seems it stayed in memory after swiping down, so normal firefox wouldn't launch. Just a heads up. slaapliedje |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
If they would just fix the broken touch in snowshoe that would also be a fast browser
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
I've ran it via xterm devel-su and got an error .
~ # cd /opt/xulrunner/lib/xulrunner-17.0a1 /opt/xulrunner/lib/xulrunner-17.0a1 # MOZ_ACCEL ERATED=1 ./qtMozQmlEmbed -url google.com "/opt/xulrunner/lib/xulrunner-17.0a1/qtMozQmlEmbed" Failed to connect to remote themedaemon. Retrying in one second. |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Don't run it as root!
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
DAMN. It is fast!!! ;)
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
holy **** batman. fast-o-clock.
this + the terminal => my new wikipedia browser |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
It's really fast and smooth , let's hope will be the same when will be fully functional .
This browser would be an important piece for N9 users , just like inception and n9qtweak . |

Now THIS is what many users have been waiting!! :)
Great work! Hope to see more of this awesomeness :) |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
I hope some good UI will be built on top, to match the stock mobile Firefox.
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Now, THIS is a great project!
Thank you Romaxa for your effort! |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Daaaaamn!! It looks stunning! ;)
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Just testing atm - looks impressive already :) And flash is working great (although it means commercials on websites - adblock maybe?)

Just need to wait for romaxa to merge the current UI with this and then everything will be perfect! Not sure how long it will take though. |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
News about this?

Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Great work already ;)
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Yeah, this is very quick. How much work will it be for Romaxa to add in a UI? Does he frequent these forums? I would LOVE for this to be a fully(or semi, more so than it is now) functional browser. Are there any serious hurdles to be overcome to make this work? Does Romaxa have any kind of a timeline for this project? If he is on here, THANKS! Loving the Nightly fennec builds he put out, and this shows a lot of promise, as well.
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
When I had the Fennec on N9 I found it quick enough already (1GB RAM?)
What about an update for the N900? |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Please tell me that this project is not dead yet...
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
It will go forward slowly i guess. From initial version to the updated one you see now it took about 5 months.
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Well good work Morpog. It will be great when it's done.
|
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
damn, i really looking forward for this project
if only romaxa drop by and say hi ... |
Re: Qt based Fennec (Firefox) - IPCLiteAPI - Hell it's fast!
Did anyone succeed to follow the instructions and build it from the sources?

By the way, there is also more intersting stuff on Romaxas FTP.
- Firefox 14 with gstreamer support haven't tried this one, I think it can play HTML5 H264 videos via N9 inbuilt gstreamer, like the native browser - old Boot to Gecko build for N9 seems to be the same approach like the IPC LIte API Fennec, don't know how far he got there - new Boot to Gecko build for N9 (hot) seems to use a lightweight Nitdroid with modified kernel to run B2G, there is also a youtube video about this. Checkout the video comments, there are instructions how to build it and a link to a pre compiled image (PR1.2 based). I just sent Romaxa an email. Hopefully he shows up here and shares some news with us. |
