Qt WRT Gmail Touch Launcher
 

Came across this earlier today:

It's simple enough to alter these apps so they run on the WRT distribution for Maemo, so I've made the changes (added config.xml) and attached it here.

It does nothing other that create an application icon and launch the existing GMail touchscreen interface. Pretty useless if you already have a bookmark :)

You'll need Qt WRT (from extras-devel) before you can do this.

Since we cannot attach wgt files to messages, I've left the file as a zip file.

To install, rename as gmail.wgt, upload to your N900 and run using File Manager - the Application Manager should install it.

Alternatively, from the command line, run

This will convert it into a .deb file and install using dpkg.

This is just the touch version of Gmail, you can just save this address as a shortcut on your home screen https://mail.google.com/mail/x/gdlakb-/gp/?shva=1

Would a WRT widget really be any quicker or better ?

Re: Qt WRT Gmail Touch Launcher
 

Yep. That's definitely the other option. I already have that shortcut. With the WRT, you do get a nice icon in your apps menu though.

Apart from that ; neither quicker, neither better and relatively pointless, unless you wish to start looking at porting other Symbian WRT stuff.

Not saying someone shouldn't do it if you know what i mean but given the weblink does the same would not be worth the coding effort just to have it in your app menu.

I believe its possible to apply a normal app icon to a bookmark though, dont know how, its on here somewhere but that would solve that too i think.

Id love to see some of the new symbian apps ported, no sooner than i leave symbian do they get their finger out and start developing good stuff, no doubt QT and Symbian^3 is to thank for that.

Agreed. I've just grabbed a copy of Facebook for Nokia from Ovi. Going to see how much of that I can wade through and see what's usable. Out the bag, it's not doing much, but that would have been a little too ambitious.

Re: Qt WRT Gmail Touch Launcher
 

Ohh yeah...id love to see a proper FB client, with the Facebook Colours, touch.facebook.com style would be fine but just in an actual app

Go for for, see what you can come up with

Re: Qt WRT Gmail Touch Launcher
 

If you are into this sort of think, try "macuco". It provides the iphone version of gmail web interface, and many other web services as well. It can also be installed directly from extras(-devel?).

Here is an untested QtQuick app ;)

import QtWebKit 1.0
WebView {
url: "http://touch.facebook.com"
preferredWidth: 800
preferredHeight: 400
scale: 1.0
smooth: false
}
