Personally I'd like everything on the 770 to be open source, but I can
see where Nokia are coming from with their open platform/closed apps
split, and generally it's used consistantly.
I can see where they're coming from, too, but I can also see why there
is so little community effort even
You can remove the applications on the device and replace them with open source
alternatives (e.g. Notes with Leafpad).
Didn't know that was easily possible.
Or were you expecting to be able to legally take the whole Nokia product
SW and commission some Chinese HW manafacturer to make cheap
Some of the applications on the 770 are not open for various reasons
There were a few examples of stuff that might understandably be closed
in my last post, feel free to add Opera to that, even Flash if you
like (as old as the supplied version is, one of the FOSS re-writes
might give it a run
Why was [setting up the developent environment difficult]?
scratchbox is not an official Debian package, and as far as the rather
intrusive directory structure goes, I can see why it isn't. It also
needs i386 when my do your worst boxes are both amd64. All in all it
was just long and
[Japanese s]eems to work fine here (kochi mincho Truetype font in Notes
program).
How about web sites, e. g. http://www.asahi.com/ ?
GTK2 is UTF-8 all-around.
Ok then - I wasn't sure if the system's really all GTK2.
While I could live without input for the time being - are there plans
I am just telling some truths that others should know.
I'm with you insofar as
- setting up the developent environment was a bitch
- it still doesn't give you the same environment as a real 770 apparently
- C++ plus custom framework doesn't exactly lend itself to RAD, maybe
a scripting language
Please check if you had the xephyr and SDK properly installed.
Not knowing what else to do I purged the scratchbox packages and
directory and went through the whole procedure a second time - this
time it seems to have worked.
I can now compile and install maemopad and actually have all
If you install the maemopad deb correctly by app-installer-tool install
maemopad_xx_deb, the shortcut should appear in the extra folder.
When I start maemo there is a symbol with two overlapping windows in
the upper left corner. That I can click to reveal a menu with xterm
and control panel
It should look like this.
I'm missing the Extras folder and subitems, but otherwise that's what I have.
Please check if you had the xephyr and SDK properly installed.
As for xephyr I wouldn't know, since I've never used it before. If I
try to use the one included in the 1.1 rootstrap with
Hi all!
First off, I'm just a hobby coder, not a pro developer, so if this is
the wrong place to ask just ignore me :)
Anyway, I installed scratchbox 0.9.8.5 (from debs on the scratchbox
website) on a current Debian testing-i386 machine and followed the
instructions for setting up the rootstrap
