Thanks qwerty12, I've been wondering about osso-software-version since I accidently removed it myself but it seems to have no impact. (well my maps application isn't working but I think that's another issue). Not to mention I think the map is outdated so I use maemo mapper anyway. Now to do this.

A little OT, but SVN builds (this, and osso-xterm) have a lot of capability in bringing the tablets up-to-date between releases, especially as Nokia tries to wrap things up for the next release. Indeed, it seems odd, on reflection, that there have been so few SVN builds around, when releases are so sparse.

I guess on other distros, building from SVN is normally done by individuals, just downloading the source and building; the only reason we even have packages SVN builds is because so few people have their tablets set up to build from source, so maybe it's not odd.

While SVN builds are nice to have in-between releases, they're not really meant for the general public. It's up to the individuals to build and test themselves, really. I wouldn't have had posted these of GeneralAntilles didn't egg me on to do so.

Of course, but since it's (comparatively) a pain here to build for ourselves, it's quite nice to have them provided for us.

In that case: Thanks, General!

Some testimonies on how well the new microb-engine works would be nice.

No, on a Linux desktop, you already have all needed development tools installed, and no troubling space constraints (at least my Linux desktop does). But I'll be there with the N800, once I get reflashed and booting from SD; then it won't be bad, and I probably will be building some such things, and probably even packaging them up with dire warnings for others. (Are you cross-compiling, or set up on the device?)

No testimony yet, because I have two finals yet this week; I'll take the time to install tomorrow or Friday, probably, and then post flames or props.

It'd no doubt be a pain, but since we can swap engines, it seems like if the stock engine could be renamed somehow, you could have it alongside; might be handy with SVN builds, both for side-by-side comparison, and for fallback if the SVN of the week is particularly buggy.

Good luck on your finals, I'm about to start mine soon.

Excuse my ignorance in advance.

I have followed and succeeded with all steps, however I am unable to copy /usr/lib/microb-engine/libgtkembedmoz.so to /usr/lib/libgtkembedmoz.so.0. I tried using xterm, but to make a long story short, I could use help with commands. I also tried using emelfm2 and was able to find the file, but I kept getting permission denied when trying to copy the file over.

Any help would be great. Thanks.

***N/M. I figured out copy = cp

You shall have need of rootness...

(i.e. install becomeroot)
Then

Yup, got it. Thanks.

So far the only thing i've noticed is that scrolling is indeed smoother as it does not lag or chop. If there is anything else noticable, i'll post back.

**Adblock and Flashblock no longer work with this SVN.

**Opening links SEEM slower too.
