Still a daily user of weather, alarm clock, podcasts, music (mp3s), puzzle games, light web browsing (mostly Opera) and a sporadic user of GPS/maps, kids games, remote desktop, and many other little things.

Which website is this? Is the site designed for the N900/Maemo5?

I actually did this around 4.7.2 and the base porting is fairly easy (took me an afternoon or so), so the lack of this is IMO due to lack of interest... There are a few gotchas, though:

- It's slow. The N900 gets away without HW acceleration because of the zippy cortex, but a 400MHz ARM11, 128M RAM and no GLES turn the coolness of QtQuick into a slideshow.

- no input method integration (on-screen kbd, menus, etc)

- the Diablo 4.5 patches never got integrated in to mainline Qt, and by now (Qt 4.7.4) have suffered a case of severe bitrot, it would take some time to forward-port them

... and sadly the disk I used for such experiments went bust so I don't even have the source any more

Qt also eats storage...

I just got an 810.

I'm interested in getting some things working:

pyradio

some sort of mixer (libsdl-mixer1.2? or maybe porting some command line mixer) that allows adjusting right and left volume levels independently or allows adjusting right left balance

Syncing GPE Calendar and Evolution (having trouble with ssh user)

How to know which repositories are installed

Not sure about Pyradio...

For now, open this little bugger
http://gronmayer.com/it/dl.php?id=241

From there, in the app manager, install Xmms and whatever plugins look good for you.

I haven't tried it but there's an xmms-defx feature that's available which might be close to what you're requesting.

Ooh!

I just caught that Pyradio is available to install from my app manager.

It's saying it needs 60.8 megs of memory though.

Poopers.

Is there any way to symlink the files need to my memory card instead of using up all of that flash memory?

I see that pyradio 3.6 is now available too. It was 3.4 earlier today. My installler choked on it though. It just froze up and timed out. I had to remove the battery to reset it. It didn't give me any message about not enough memory but I only have about 6 M so I imagine that may be the problem.

I really would like to get Pandora radio working. It fails when I try through a browser.

I'd be interested in using the the memory card as well. I thought I saw somewhere that you could clone the flash memory to the SD card and then set it to boot from the SD card but I don't know if this was the 810 or the 800.

In any event I don't know how to do it.

These links would give you some pointers.. I just loved the possibility of 'cloning' to an external SD keeping a backup version of the working image on a backup SD...

SHIN!!!!!!!!!!

It's so good seeing you back here, if just for a fleeting moment.

I still have two of your applet thingies on my desktop.

Anyway, I need to bookmark this page so I can also clone to my memory card.

I just have a feeling, knowing me, that I'm going to completely bone it all up, and when asking for help, there won't be so much as a dim flicker of recognition from anyone since all the good people here have since left.

I thought for sure there was a command line that you could enter into the tablet to unpack a .deb, then from there, was simply to sim-link it.

Oh well, I guess it's about time I tried cloning to pad my life experience.

Just not now.

I might be drunk. *lol*
