It's not possible to flash the OS2007 onto an n810. And even if it did work, you'd lose functionality.

I have a calendar app (full PIM suite, actually) that I use all the time on my N810 and I definately have alarms with sounds that are reliable. All you need is KDE installed and use it as your desktop environment. KOrganizer is included in the KDE install.

Here are some patches that get Gene's to_do app to work on OS 2008. They should retain backwards compatibility with OS 2007 but I have no way to test that myself. I know that we really want to see calend working, but it's more complicated and I decided to start small. I figured I would post this now to possibly entice someone into helping on calend once they see that the changes aren't that bad.

I haven't made any attempt to repackage this into .debs. I just downloaded the individual source code links from his site and put them in a directory. I run it with "python to_do" to see that it works correctly.

Thanks to mbfrog's post in this thread for some tips on getting started:

I'll have to check that out... didn't realize the KOrganizer stuff was running ok already.

I've put packages with Gene Cash's to_do and calend programs here:
http://brewer123.home.comcast.net/debs

They run on my n810. Let me know how they work for you. Download the debs in order and the dependencies should be satisfied correctly.
