If you missing qt-components-10-com-nokia.meego-1.1-compat dependency, you should enable extras-devel
and do:
or enable extras-devel install nelisquare, make sure that version 0.5+ pulled
Rocket have some bugs in both, maemo and meego versions. They will be fixed on both platforms soon :rolleyes:

Great work.. No N900 but love that u support it:)

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

Many thanks for the continued support. I love tweeting from my N900. I usually use TwimGo and Tweed Suit. I shall now try this out. From the screenshots, I'm already liking the UI. It's modern and MeeGo style. Also, I would love it if you could integrate the Lists to the main columns. I would imagine being able to scroll between columns of select Lists either by swiping left or right or tapping on left/right arrows somewhere.

thanks for thia but still crashes in the background with segmentation fault just like tweetian

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

With all of its flaws, I really love it - great work.

I really hope it will get ported to SailfishOS, when time comes.

i like big pictures preview

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

Thank you!! I like it. Thanks for backporting both Tweetian and Rocket. I see a problem with the UI, though. Two important program actions are placed at the top corners, thus making task switching and closing rather difficult. But it's a great app.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

I'll add minimize and exit menu entries.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

When is it going to be available in a repository? I downloaded the .deb file and installed it "semi-manually" (and before that, I had to install Nelisquare through Fapman), i.e. from a file manager which in turn launched application manager to install it.

Anyway, I managed to log in (apparently), but there were no content, and the app eventually crashed. Later on, it would always just crash. The device was rebooted twice in the meantime. Should I uninstall it, and try installing the .deb file with "apt-get install" instead?

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

i dont think that app become available at repositories until it become stable.

You cannot install deb with "apt-get install", only with "dpkg -i".
Meanwhile, crash bug is known on some phones, and i'm trying to resolve it.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

installed it today and so far good. but icons in menu and lower part of screen are not showing and also when i open my own profile and in menu why its giving me options to block, follow and report options ?

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

you should install meegothemefix package to fix your system iconpack.
menu is same for all users (self or other twitter users) :)

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

Is there any progress on fixing the crash on opening other app bug? Also, I think even with the bug it could go in -devel; that's meant for unfinsihed software and, if the code were out there, someone else might catch the bug for you.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

No progress yet. Seems like bug is in some qt packages, as tweetian also have same issue.
Rocket sources are not publicly available atm, but tweetian sources are. Nobody tried to resolve that issue and I cant reproduce it on my n900 :(

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

It's most likely this bug in Qt Components. One of my own apps is suffering from it too.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

@Custodian: Rocket closes itself when i switch to another app. can you give it a look ?

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

It is a known issue. Seems like bug in ported qt libs. There is so solution atm. Although it does not crash on my n900.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

i don't remeber whether it crashed earlier or not but its crashing now. will give tweetian a try. thanks for your quick reply.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

When I tried the app again the other day, it didn't crash anymore. The only "rational" explanation could be the update of Nelisquare app. Or some other update after Sep. 21.
How can I exit the application "gracefully"? It's full-screen without any handles to minimize or close it.

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

on n900 you can press ctrl+backspace to getback to task manager(shortcut for minimize app)

Re: [Announce][Backport] Rocket - Twitter client for N900
 

Is there any updates available?
If yes, please assist. . .

Thank You
