[Announce] TizMee 0.1 - Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGo
 

Overview

With the (unexpected) release of Sviox‘s HTML widget runtime I thought it about time that I made my own efforts in that direction a bit more public (we have been discussing it a bit for a couple of months in another thread, but I was only making the git repos public, not any prebuilt packages).

TizMee is designed to make it possible to run Tizen (and other) apps on MeeGo, supporting general HTML5 apps, apps using Tizen specific APIs and Cordova/PhoneGap apps (with some slight modification).

This first early release should support general HTML5 apps fairly well (although there are still a few that have issues), some aspects of the Tizen API (this is by no means complete however) and pretty much all of the Cordova/PhoneGap API.

It’s based around the QT Cordova port with Tizen specific functionality implemented as Cordova plugins in a mixture of C and javascript.

A number of test applications can be downloaded here: http://mikeasoft.com/~mike/tizmee/
To install them simply place their .wgt files in the TizenApps directory on your device (/home/user/MyDocs/TizenApps).

Well done! Do you plan a native version for Maemo 5 Fremantle?

Re: [Announce] TizMee 0.1 - Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGo
 

Eventually I'll probably see about porting it to Maemo, however it's not a priority at the moment as it's not likely to be especially usable for anything other than fairly static applications due to QtWebKit's performance being quite poor on the N900. so anything requiring a lot of animation like games and such wouldn't be very usable.

Thank you!
Great work! :)

Now if we have also ACL, I think we're totally done :)

Re: [Announce] TizMee 0.1 - Tizen compatibility layer for MeeGo
 

Well there are probably plenty of general HTML 5 apps that could be packaged up, there's mostly only simple test apps actually using the Tizen APIs at the moment. I doubt we'll see much in the way of Tizen apps until devices start being released (beyond the handful of test devices given out at conferences).

AWESOME!!! This is great news. I'm having fun with it now, but what it could mean for the N9 is even better.

Not forgetting the magenta project, if that takes off then then it would be game over for all other phones ;)

Great work Elleo, I have been following your work in the other thread and have been very impressed so far :)
