No, but I wasnt aware of your port
By that time I was already in contact with Till.

The packaging he has made states GPL as the license, but the files miss the headers.
For sure a QML version would be much nicer.
How ever for me it seems to be the quicker way to work a bit on the UI of the Maemo5 version. I tried to port my SleepAnalyer to QML but got really frustrated and stopped my mork on the Harmattan version, at least for now.

I started to fix the button and text sizes of the maemo5 version (for Harmattan) and will post it here once I am happy with it.
I got in contact with Till, if he is OK with it, we could integrate my changes into the disabandened Harmattan version, so we would have an official CacheMe for Harmattan, even it's ugly, but functional.
Else I might have to change its name, icons and many other things

I never really was happy with AGTL, even on the N900. The symbols are to small and I still struggle to understand how to use it.
But if you want to work on that, 2 apps for sure would be better than one app.


BTW:
On the Cacheme version for Harmattan I noted, that the compass is 90° off (shows tho east instead north). Can somebody confirm this?
The Nokia "Compass" app seems to be correct.
