Re: N900 MeeGo CE Summer Edition Released

You can't flash if the USB port isn't working or has broken off.

As soon as you install something which prevents the device from booting, then you have to send it to the repair shop to get the USB...

Re: Nokia - Microsoft partnership (merged threads)

This is completely off-topic, but the theoretical upper limit of speed for JIT execution is faster than static native code, including ASM, due to context-dependent continuous optimisation.

Re: Why N900 failed on consumer market ?

Check out the BlessN900 camera app (from Maemo.org) and try all the settings. I found it improved the low-light quality enormously, taking clear pictures that look like normal light levels, in a...

Re: On the massive success of the Nokia Innovators contest at bringing us quality N900 software

This is my long-held understanding of GPLv2:

Nokia's T&Cs, with whomever, may imply that Nokia says they have no obligation to distribute source when they distribute GPL-covered binaries (or...

Re: FN + SYM key for special characters DOES NOT WORK

Whatever program provides the Fn+Sym popup seems to just crash from to time, and then Fn+Sym does nothing. I find it happens to me randomly when text messaging, every few weeks. Eventually it comes...

Re: KSplice

It's not a bad idea to use Ksplice's method or some other binary patching mthod to provide the enhanced kernel functionality, but I guess a one-off reboot isn't so painful anyway.

Re: BBC: Android 2.2 release

The unit is very expensive. I expect for many here, it's too expensive to buy once per year.

Personally I can afford it - but my purchase cycle is about every 3 years. Just don't see why I...

Re: [Petition] For Nokia to Open 100% of the Closed Components in Maemo 5/n900

First let me make clear I agree with your general point.

Personally I don't use Modest, RSS, Marbles, Chess or Mahjong. PDF reader seems usable except when it fails to display a file entirely,...

Re: Nokia exec Niklas Savander welcomes your questions on Twitter

Re: Adobe Flash Player 10: When will the update arrive? Is it coming at all?

Imho, if there was serious, intense desire for Flash 10 capability among the community of Maemo developers, we could work on Gnash, bringing it up to scratch with Flash 10 capabilities and optimise...

Re: [ POLL ] What OS would you prefer on your N900? Maemo5, Meego or NitDroid?

Wow - Thumb2 isn't complicated, it's mostly just an instruction reformatter. How hard can it be to screw that up?



Smaller binaries improve speed in many ways. First, because they decrease the...

Re: [ POLL ] Developer Horse-Race: Who'll reach feature-parity with Maemo5 first: Meego or NitDroid?

If someone bought the N900 hoping that Maemo would evolve, excited by the potential, and now sees that Android is getting better while Maemo isn't evolving as they'd hoped... then it makes sense.

Re: Is the N900 ever going to be a polished product?

Re: Community input for new t.m.o. policy

No, in both places it depends what you're reverse engineering and why.

But let's say some people don't know where they stand exactly. Reverse engineering often has grey areas. For example, the...

There's an interesting thread right now, "Secret Exit To Release Games For N900".

Judging by the posts the thread has generated some sales for the company.

Re: What do you think of the resistive touch screen?

Same here. I have no troubling clicking on links about 1mm high using my fingertip. It's all about getting used to where the "middle" of your fingertip is.

Re: can the n900 handle the maemo gui ?`

Actually it can, though you have to go through DRM or OpenGL APIs I believe.



Actually they do. They still have a minimum vertical retrace time, but it can be shorter than CRT blanking.

Re: Repositories down until Monday 18.1.2010

That is not accurate.

Nokia's servers haven't gone down, and apps provided on Nokia servers including on Ovi are still available.

Only the maemo.org repositories are down. Do you think Apple...
