Ok, time to get some sleep. Here's a binary .deb of the current development snapshot.. still a bit crash-y, but with a nice UI. It also shows where the icons are missing.

Ideally, remove your old Maemopad+ memos.db file and create a new one with MaePad.

The usual disclaimer for binary-only .debs applies. If you brick your device, it's all your fault.
