Here is a tutorial how to get Internet Messengers on the N9/N950

Credits to billranton and coderus!

If you want to use MSN, there are 2 methods to get this done.
Method 1 (for the most of us, the easy way): MSN-Haze
Method 2: MSN-Pecan

For all the other IM's (ICQ/Yahoo/AIM/IRC/Facebook/Gadu-Gadu/QQ) you need to use Method 1!

Method 1 using MSN with Haze: (credits goes to coderus)

First of all, create a new folder called "msn" in the "MyDocs".

Now lets download the needed files in the msn folder:
libpurple0
telepathy-haze

Once you saved the files, open the Terminal and type in the following commands:

Code:

devel-su

(password: rootme)



cd /home/user/MyDocs/msn

dpkg -i libpurple0*

dpkg -i telepathy-haze*





mc-tool add haze/msn (youremail) string:account=(youremail) string:password=(yourpassword)



mc-tool enable haze/msn/(your account, it's shown 1 line above)

if you want to use some other IM than MSN, just change haze/msn into the desired IM:
haze/icq
haze/yahoo
haze/aim
haze/irc
haze/facebook
haze/gadugadu
haze/qq

Add (another) MSN account
To add a new account:

Code:

mc-tool add haze/msn (youremail) string:account=(youremail) string:password=(yourpassword)



mc-tool enable haze/msn/(your account, it's shown 1 line above)

For other IM's, just change the haze/msn into the desired IM.

Remove a MSN account
If you wan't to remove an account from the list:

Code:

mc-tool list  (to see which accounts are saved)

mc-tool remove haze/msn/(account)

For other IM's, just change the haze/msn into the desired IM.
