does anybody know if grooveshark is working?

by the way, is there no way to get preenv and prewebenv to work on harmattan?

Sadly I appear to have stumbled on the first hurdle already...

What is missing?

Code:

Chroot dir specified: /.debian

No image file or partition specified.

ls: /media/mmc1/debian*.img*: No such file or directory

/.debian has a qmount already!

/home/user/MyDocs/debian-m5-v3d.img.ext2 already mounted on /.debian...

Everything set up, running chroot...

[root@deb-m5v3d: /]apt-get install chomium-browser

Reading package lists... Done

Building dependency tree       

Reading state information... Done

E: Couldn't find package chomium-browser

it was a typo, it should be chromium-browser, as jflatt said.

What kind of problems did you run into with QtWRT?

At first it was http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/72/chesso.png/
Then I found that way out (attached patch) - the patch was created for the original framework.js
And after patching the error was:

TypeError: Result of expression 'Mojo.appPath' [null] is not an object. framework.js:601

Should I write more about how I set it up?

Prewebenv: I don't think so. Unless you have chromium >= 6.0 for it. And easy debian isn't present on N9 afaik.

I was talking about grooveshark the app that is available for webos. They have an app for webos.

Have you tried helium with this? Webkit based, don't know now recent, might help remove the dependency to easydebian

Yeah, I think I tried every browser for N900 I found. Only one of them worked at all (the application showed up) - it was probably Digia @web IIRC (for sure there was a blue bar on the right to zoom in & out). Even in this browser trying to log-in to chess.com (I tested with this app) doesn't work, and I didn't see any command line options for @web.

Re: [Announce][Pre-Alpha] Prewebenv - run Mojo WebOS apps on Fremantle

I'm uploading an other approach, it's a very pre alpha try, but the best way I've found. It's.... Qt HTML5 application. It doesn't complain as much as QtWRT. I modified it so that you should run

Code:

/path/to/prewebenv-runner /path/to/webos/app/index.html

It's run in fullscreen (so you may need to "end current task")
Some features may not work. There might be some problems with touch screen mapping. But this may be connected with my specific software configuration. Please tell how it works with your apps!

Finally the download
http://marmistrz.net63.net/public/prewebenv/
The source is uploaded too, the .tar.gz file. The file prewebenv-runner.gz is the executable.

To developers: I don't think whether it's any need of sticking with QtWRT if this approach works (not perfectly, but it's more customizable than a browser and more working than QtWRT).
What do you think?

Helium Mobile is now available for Maemo 5. Might worth to try with it.

Apps won't load with Helium Mobile. Is anyone here experienced in Qt HTML apps?

There was some problem with the executable. I recompiled it and reuploaded.
The executable is in the prewebenv-runner.gz file.
You should gunzip and chmod +x it.
