Here's a photo of Mer 0.13 on the SmartQ 7.

My misunderstanding of how to load Mer on Saturday was based on the instruction to "hold down the + key".

To me, this meant the top button on the upper left, which has a + sign in its picture.

The correct button is the 3rd down on the left.

Thanks for helping, Bezeen & Matan!

Kinda funny how the weather readout is consistently below the graphics. I think i have seen it on target exactly ones when testing X86 releases in virtualbox...

Everything works fine on the SmartQ 7, I mean all the applications are working correctly?

What I am really asking: is it worth installing on my SmartQ 7?

I don't speak for the Mer developers but here's my take.

Only a few applications are working under Mer on the Q7.

Most apps have a direct use in helping test features of the OS.

If applications are your main interest and not exploring Mer itself, I would wait for a later release.

Ah, well, Mer without any applications is pretty useless, isn't it? The only thing I am really interested in right now is to be able to brows the web and have a nice clean look on the device with some desktop apps/add-ons.

As a full production environment? Sure.

As an initial development effort, it's not useless at all. And no one has really said it's anything but that, right now.

My Q7 can not flash any firmware now. Every time it shows "Checking firmware failed". Previously it run mer 0.13 pretty well. But it was broken when I pull out the power plug as it was shutting down. It seems nothing I can do now.

Is that a limitation on the Moses SmartQ? Because on the N810, fbreader installs from the ubuntu arm repositories built into mer just fine.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install fbreader
fbreader

It is not the latest version of fbreader so it sucks on my epubs, but my non-drm mobipocket files work just fine and because you can remap the keys internally to fbreader (including fullscreen) it effectively seems to work similar to what is in maemo.

Well, it always break for me when I pull the plug when it's on, it freezes up. If it does you need to push the reset button. Well, though, it is not broke if I start it again, is it with Mer?
