Diablo named properly
 
Well, Diablo is named correctly - it is pure evil.

Nokia communicates with no one so developers/users get screwed.

Modest is crashing and not ready for prime time.

Developers are told it should only take an hour to get their stuff building, but that's more like a week.

Canola doesn't work (again, Nokia's fault for not doing beta releases - *****s).

I think it's time to deep six this POS and get something that does work!

Welcome! It isn't too bad for your first message in ITT.

Modest works for me.
I have almost all my stuff in diablo extras yet.
Canola works for me. I use it everyday.

Modest works for me with googlemail/imap, too, but crashes SOMETIMES.
You can use the "old" chinook stuff, so why rebuild???
Canola2 is working for me, too, like before.

Canola2 works, just make sure not to update python. Then it crashes and burns big-time

Your obviously mis-informed

Never used modest, I have no comment on this :cool:

So your mad at Nokia for providing an SDK many months prior to the release?

Canola doesn't work (again, Nokia's fault for not doing beta releases - *****s).
I added chinook repos, installed Canola and it works great, I never actually used it before Diablo, but its all working as far as I can tell?

I think it's time to deep six this POS and get something that does work!

No big loss on our end, if this first post is an indicator of the usefullness of your postings, please "deep six" away


I really tried not to respond to this post, but its such BS, I could not stay away!!

I don't know what i did because I'm a newbie, but everything is working for me, including Canola2 and more than 20 applications I already used in Chinook.

Maybe I'm just lucky.

Modest crashes sometimes (Internal error message), but it was the same in Chinook.

Re: Diablo named properly
 
The Diablo SDK was released AFTER the Diablo OS update not many months prior. As a developer of one application, I did feel blind sided by the release as others must, otherwise why would any one need to use any chinook repositories for anything but abandoned applications. But since on the day that Diablo was released, the extras repository was completely empty, I don't think that's the case.

Modest does crash for me, I've used one beta build that didn't, I wish I could go back to that one.

It's my choice to upgrade to Diablo, nothing forced me to.

Nokia handled the transition poorly, but this is Nokia that should be no surprise.

Reflashed this morning, and there are two things I've noticed: 1) an app is rock-solid stable when running, but when in the background 2) I've had the tablet crash on me twice (lock up, or auto-reboot.) Quite interesting, but the overall feel of Diablo is better to me. :D Maybe I need to extend the memory?
