Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core
 
Has there been a (full/usable) release, yet?
I'd love to try this on an X86 or on N900...

There haven't been any image releases yet.
I'm waiting for MeeGo 1.3 with systemd integrated, to create a proper release.

x86 is very usable after installing on top of MeeGo Core. My wife is using Cordia on the netbook on a daily basis.

If there was an usable MeeGo build for AMD processors, I could have tested it myself on my Acer W500.

Does it need to be a touchscreen netbook or will a non-touchscreen one suffice?

It's also usable with a mouse/touchpad.

MeeGo 1.3 will replace X with Wayland (for x86 only, not ARM). Correct me if I am wrong but won't that cause problems when trying to reuse Maemo UI?

No more problems than trying to reuse any other MeeGo UI. :)

@smoku, have you managed to put shortcuts/widgets on the desktop yet?
I've sorted out the dependencies (they can be downloaded from here and installed using rpm -i
I've been playing about with it and managed to get the nseries panoramic wallpaper over the 4 desktops, but no luck with shortcuts.

I haven't followed the Meego 1.3 roadmap.
However since the N900 is supported by the Meego community, will it run as good and responsive as Maemo5?

lol - that may be true. But of course one of the objects of Cordia is to avoid any MeeGo UI. Let me try to be more exact.

Replacing X, which has been around for decades and is well known to maemo devs, with Wayland is going to make it much harder to reuse the maemo UI than if MeeGo 1.3 stayed with X. We won't be talking about porting any more, we'll have to rewrite an awful lot of maemo code - no?
