Excel, Word app ?
 
Hi,
I can't found a good app for modify .docx or excel file.
Have you got an idea ?

On what platform?

Documents to go from Dataviz on Maemo.
Payable version worked quite good, but have not tested it for years, think you can move your licence on to other devices later too.

Open office on Maemo with debian.

I'm also using the paid version of Documents To Go.
You get the free (view only) version from the Nokia Store, then upgrade.

You can't upgrade :( The company denies it ever knew anything about Maemo.
All you are left with is Mr Google or Mr Duckduckgo.

Maybe you could try textmaker from google play. Paid version works on jolla, though hard to use due to small screen.

FWIW, key for paid version is floating around Internets

There is also Abiword & Gnumeric on Maemo, and these should be work quite ok for most uses.

Whilst I don't mind people finding such solutions for themselves for products that the company itself stopped supporting, it is still software piracy and I don't think we should be supporting it openly like this. Please remove the link.

There is also FreOffice for Maemo based on KDE's former KOffice which claims to support DOC(X?) and ODF formats and can do some basic editing.

Today I was using easydebian with the image file debian-m5-v3e.img.ext2 but it has openoffice 3, it is a bit slow and it doesn't support .docx or .xlsx files. I' ll try with other image file to see what it has libre office and if it is upgradeable.

on N900
I have been using abiword and gnumeric for .doc and .xls, working fine. The versions I have doesn't support .docx or .xlsx so it comes handy convert the files online and download it in .doc or .xls format

Just a tiny nit pick, you can of course try a different image (Estel's is a good start, although it has a lot of stuff you might not need, such as GIMP) - OR you can upgrade the one you have.

The company itself stopped caring about license, so I thought this cant be counted as software piracy. Anyway sorry for the post. We all have different standards. But I'm pretty sure that the company's anti-piracy department's executive is not lurking over the internet to find a post on an almost dead platform's support forum/community, which redirects to another website. :)

You did not need to remove the post. Just the link.
Hint: no one can stop people from exchanging links privately :)

Yes indeed.

Currently I am using an Easy Debian image called "debian-m5-estel.img.ext3"

The image is on the 32GB built in memory.
800MB Swap is on the SD Card.

I can't complain about the performance. Once loaded it behaves more or less like on a normal PC. But I know if your N900 is not setup correctly , using Easy Debian can be very frustrating.
Got your N900 setup without lagging -> go Easy Debian and forget the rest.

Current performance: interface is fluid.

Easy Debian startup until menu clickable: ~24 seconds
Libreoffice Calc startup until menu for loading ready ~18 seconds
Loading XLS file: 10-15 seconds

(used reference ratings.xls sheet from http://www.exinfm.com/free_spreadsheets.html )



Attachment 36431

Probably performance can be improved by moving Easy Debian files to a folder on the device instead of keeping those in an image but manuals on how to do that don't lead me to success.

I have exactly the same ED image, and it has OO 3.2.1. It does open xlsx & docx without a problem, and actually handles multi-sheet spreadsheets with complex relationships much better than even Documents-to-Go.
