Notices

I noticed there are a lot of people wanting to install Bluemaemo but get various forms of errors while doing so. These errors are sometimes similar and other times different in nature, and there are multiple solutions all over these forums, which can be difficult to find.

I thought I would consolidate these solutions into one simple guide, that would be easy to follow and provide an overall universal solution, allowing all users to install Bluemaemo, either straight after a fresh reflash or on their device in its current state.

For all those getting errors while trying to install this app, follow the instructions below for a guaranteed install and zero conflicts.

Note: You still won't be able to have Bluemaemo and Enna at the same time. I haven't found a work around for this conflict yet, but I am trying! So for the moment if you have Enna already installed, this won't work.

This used to fix it but is not fixing it anymore on it's own, I just re-flashed and tried this command, I got an error message saying something like:

"Version 1.2.2+svn41533 of libeet was not found"

I found out why this error message occured and fixed it almost immediately.

Fixed Solution:

If anyone gets above error, open xterminal, type root or sudo gainroot and then enter in these simple commands exactly as I have listed them, even if they don't make sense to you, it does work and fixes the error message and allows you to install Bluemaemo.

1. apt-get install libeet1

2. Wait for it to be completed. This has to be done first.

3. Then type:

apt-get install bluemaemo efl-core python2.5-efl-core python2.5-ecore python2.5-evas python2.5-edje python2.5-elementary libeet1 libevas0 libevas0-all libecore0 libecore0-all libembryo0 libedje0 libepsilon0 libetk0 libetk0-engine-all libedbus0 python2.5-edbus python-configobj libecore0-con libecore0-evas libecore0-file libecore0-job libecore0-txt libecore0-x libecore0-ipc libecore0-imf libecore0-imf-evas libecore0-input libevas0-engine-software-x11 libevas0-engine-software-x11-16 libetk0-engine-all libetk0-engine-evas-x11 libetk0-engine-evas libetk0-engine-evas-software-x11 libetk0-engine-evas-software-x11-16 libevas0-all libevas0-loaders-all libevas0-savers-all libevas0-engines-all python2.5-efl-core python2.5-epsilon python2.5-etk python2.5-efl-utils python2.5-elementary libelementary0 libevas0-loader-eet libevas0-engine-software-generic libevas0-engine-buffer libevas0-engine-software-generic libevas0-loader-eet libevas0-loader-jpeg libevas0-loader-png libevas0-saver-eet

4. Wait for the above to be done, will take a while.

5. Then type apt-get install libevas0-saver-jpeg (no more room on the above command to fit this in fully, so have to do it separately)

6. Wait for it to be done

7. Run Bluemaemo and see if it opens and runs properly, if it does, you are done! If it opens and shortly after it closes, then you have one more step to do.

8. [Optional - Check if app opens first] again in X-terminal and as root, type the following command:

ln -s /usr/lib/libembryo-ver-svn-05.so.0.9.9 /usr/lib/libembryo-ver-svn-03.so.0

9. Enjoy!

Not universal. When trying to use apt-get install bluemaemo it says "Couldn't find package bluemaemo." When I use the application manager I get unable to download bluemaemo "Application not found". I downloaded it from this site!!! And I clicked install from FILE- what does it need to download?

1. The first post is about N900
2. You have to enable the extras-devel repository to be able to install bluemaemo
3. Before doing "apt-get install" you have to do "apt-get update"

It`s stil not working, after step 8 it stil crashed

I messaged the dev, and he has not abandoned BlueMaemo as yet, he's just been busy.

If it's of any help, I installed BlueMaemo last week by first running:

Once this completed, I installed BlueMaemo from the Application Manager.

can anyone post deb files package here ? will be great ))
thanks in advance

hey, with bluemaemo, can I use the keyboard of the n900 as an external keyboard for a symbian s60v5 (in the case, nokia 5530)
anyone tried?
how to do it?
thanks

Great program written with a terrific toolkit, will never install... SIGH!

Agree , I was unable to install it because I'm getting hash sum mismatch errors so I had to download and Install manually via xterm 39 lib packages only for efl-core then python-2.5 downloaded sucessfully from the repos , now it works fine .

I also attached all lib packages you need to install manually if you want bluemaemo work .

I have no idea what app you need for symbian but it works fine with N9 with btinput app , it would work as mouse too but n9 does not show cursor .

This might be very useful:
