Well, goodmorning folks. I'm glad to see that my temporary repo is still up and that it helped people. Last night you guys claimed between 1.5 and 2GB of bandwidth, and clocking each download at 10MB, that's between 150-200 people that found this thread. Not bad at all!
I'm going to leave this up for the next couple of days until the normal servers settle down.
@tps: I would love to help with a roundrobin repo. Maybe we can ask the guys behind jablet.org to get a subdomain like repository.jablet.org for our use?

I must be living right.
I started a C2 download at 9:00 yesterday morning (EST), had to restart it once but it was installed by 9:30. Ten minutes later I was playing Billy Talent or (note or, not and!) viewing photos straight from the SD card from my camera.
I showed it to some folks at my wife's company after I had demo'd the the tablet running their very intensive Javascript and Flash-based e-learning application. (This app never worked on a 770 with Opera or MicroB, or on OS2007 MicroB so OS2008 MicroB is a big improvement). The VP looked at the N800 ruefully and asked what he was going to do with his iPod. How much? $200 from Dell. What, really?
I think I could have sold a bag load of them right there and then.
Nokia/INdT needs to get Canola finished as soon as possible, solve the repo problem and start mass-
marketing this sucker. They are so close!
Anyway, my gut reactions to C2 were:
- Wow, then
- Can C2 be an alternate platform to Hildon? I want to be able to get at the main consumer-oriented stuff from this interface: web, email, voip...
- Cover art. I know it is just top show stuff but Apple has shown that top show is important to the mass market. At least show any pics I put in a music folder. When I am playing music then create a default slide-show of any pics in the same folder as the music playing.
- I want to be able to run a slide-show from my photos at the same time as playing my music.
- Equalizer please.
- Auto-leveling for sound please.
INdT: Muito obrigado
Don.

WOW canola2 is awesome! had to download it at 5:30 in the morning with all the server traffic, but i had to get up anyway. i'm super impressed, it actually works just like the video. the buttons in the "locate media" menus are on the teeny side, took a while to figure out they were buttons at all, but you only have to press them once, so no biggy.

Canola Episode II "Serious Arse Kicking"!
So do these guys have anything to do with Nokia? It obviously took a serious dev effort, who finances this.
As one poster suggested, I want to run everything from this UI.

I already said this before in this huge thread, but the summary is that we're unable to officially get covers from sites and we didn't have any support to use "cover.jpg" (or similar) from folders, so you have to wait for a more final solution :-/

As for view pictures while listening to music, it's possible! Just click "back" from music player and it should keep playing in the background, you can also click 'n' hold "back" to "go home", this have the nice effect to bring you directly to "now playing" screen when you enter local music again! Ah, and notice that you will have a nice "Play" icon on the top-right, you can tap there from any screen to go straight to "now playing" screen.
Now to the bad news: equalizer and volume normalizer is more difficult to have, since we use external tools to play your media, we'll try, but it might take more releases to get done.

So late last night 10:45 pm, I was able to get conalo2 installed after trying all day. And well, after a full day trying....I was so disappointed.
I hate Canola2 and want canola(1) back. There's few things I don't like, like the green color, but my biggest problem with it , which is the deal breaker, is scrolling. Yea, I know it's cool to use your finger to scroll, but after about 10 minutes time the novelty of wears off, and your felt with nonfunctional scrolling.
This is how the problem works. I'm playing a song and I hit the back button to look through the list to see what's the next song I want to play is. So, I'm at my list and I running my finger down the screen to scroll and instead of the N800 picking up finger moving as a scroll it thinks I made a click. Now some random song I didn't to hear is playing. Every time I try scrolling somewhere along my list of music it picks up a click instead of a scroll. I hate hate hate this. Why would anybody put the scrolling over the same area you have to click on to play?
I think Canola(1) was a much more thought out. It had the scrolling on the side and click to play was in the glass bubble looking thing. No confusion. There was no way for scrolling to get pick up as a click to play. I so hate this. I can not smoothly scroll through my music.
What good is the scrolling if I can't scroll to the song I want play?
Can someone tell me how to install canola(1) back onto the os2008?

First off let me say that this app is AMAZING! It was well worth the wait 
Ok... I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong, I've searched and searched but nothing. Is there any documentation of Canola2?
Anyways, why won't Canola2 bring up my photos? I've used the menu to tell it to search my external card and when I go into my photos it does show the proper folders where I store them, but tapping on a folder just gives me a blank (green) screen? No error message or message stating that it's doing anything at all. Canola recognizes audio and video just fine. All of my photos are .jpg should they be in some other format?
What am I missing? Thanks

Or, someone can make the complete repository, and create the tarball, and everyone else can just put it where it needs to go on their system. Like I said in a previous post, we, the user community, can easily create a repository ourselves. We just need access to the raw files, and someone has to create the initial repo. Then everyone just rsyncs/copies everything across to their systems. I can setup the roundrobin DNS if we pick a domain name. I have 3 separate 6Mb llines that I can throw at the problem (one is into Level3, the other are into the Verizon cloud for backup links).
