Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core

Since copy/paste is a luxury we don't have in MeeGo CE yet, I've put a script together to make the installation easier - it will download the items listed in the official instructions, and wget/rpm the dependancies which cannot be downloaded by zypper.
it will also modify /etc/sysconfig/uxlaunch to switch to hildon-desktop.

Save the attached file in MeeGo through Fennec, open a terminal
Type su and press Return, then meego and return to get admin rights.
Now type
sh /home/meego/Documents/instcordia.txt

If prompted for anything, press y to continue.

For those of you who wish to do this manually, here is the code:

Code:

# Download and install dependancy sound-theme-freedesktop-0.7-2.1.noarch.rpm 

wget "http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.2.0.90/1.2.0.90.0.20110517.1/repos/oss/armv7hl/packages/noarch/sound-theme-freedesktop-0.7-2.1.noarch.rpm" -O /home/meego/sound-theme-freedesktop-0.7-2.1.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh /home/meego/sound-theme-freedesktop-0.7-2.1.noarch.rpm

# Download and install dependancy sound-theme-freedesktop-0.7-2.1.noarch.rpm

wget "http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.2.0.90/1.2.0.90.0.20110517.1/repos/oss/armv7hl/packages/noarch/gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-6.1.noarch.rpm" -O /home/meego/gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-6.1.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh /home/meego/gnome-mime-data-2.18.0-6.1.noarch.rpm

# Add Cordia DE repository and install

zypper ar "http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/smoku:/cordia/Project_DE_Trunk_standard/home:smoku:cordia.repo"

zypper refresh

zypper install cordia-status-plugins gtk2-engines-sapwood hildon-desktop hildon-home hildon-status-menu hildon-theme-cacher hildon-theme-layout libhildon libhildondesktop libosso osso-af-settings

# Download and install dependancy hildon-theme-marina-1.206-4.4.DE.noarch.rpm

wget "http://repo.pub.meego.com/home:/smoku:/cordia/Project_DE_Trunk_standard/noarch/hildon-theme-marina-1.206-4.4.DE.noarch.rpm" -O /home/meego/hildon-theme-marina-1.206-4.4.DE.noarch.rpm

rpm -Uvh /home/meego/hildon-theme-marina-1.206-4.4.DE.noarch.rpm

# Set marina theme as default

ln -s marina /usr/share/themes/default

# Change uxlaunch to start hildon-desktop after reboot

sed -i '27s:session=/usr/bin/mcompositor:session=/usr/bin/hildon-desktop:g' /etc/sysconfig/uxlaunch

# Delete downloaded rpm files

rm /home/meego/*.rpm

Afterwards it's up to you to add themes and fonts from maemo.. For that I recommend using filebox after mounting the meego partition

Please post any bugs / glitches in normal operation, I'm sure the project maintainers would appreciate it.. otherwise they cannot be fixed! :)

Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core

After testing today I can make the following observations:
After loading a screen it sometimes loops animation of last 3 frames when switching tasks
Calls/SMS only worked once i'd used celluar settings and set an APN
Apps will only launch once another has finished loading

The following experience glitching from previous 3 frames of animation
gedit
xterm (very bad)
gpe browser

The following either crash or are lost to task nav while leaving process running
meego-web-browser

The following will work and stay running but will not appear in task nav when trying to return (requires killall command)
fennec
helium
terminal
camera

The following are working.
meego-app-calendar
meego-app-contacts
meego-app-email
meego-app-im
meego-app-photos
Dialler
SMS
clocks
!!email
Settings
meego-ux-settings
Kasvopus (no home button qml)
Photo Viewer
Package Manager (no home button qml)
Peregrine (no home button qml)
Widgets Gallery
meego-appsclient

Note: Dialer works but causes animation glitches when switching tasks.

Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core

There wasn't much activity in Cordia HD lately, as I was pursuing another related idea, which was taking my free time.

It finally got some substance, so I could share it with you. See http://cordiatab.com/

I hope this will make a perfect companion to Cordia Hildon-Desktop and should accelerate the Cordia efforts.

Open source hardware running open source software? I like... :)
The likes of a project like Cordia means dumping closed source where possible.. on a tablet like this a hildon front-end would fly!

It's also something that would be much needed on a phone/tablet like the Fujitsu F-07C, and give it more battery life dumping Windows 7 for the likes of MeeGo (i386) with Cordia Hildon Desktop

Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core

definitely interersting, smoku. Signed for a tab preorder.
As you mention maemo and android on cordia HD pages, have you actually installed both on your prototype tab yet? Any video available?

Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core

Ok I'm starting to save some money.

Re: Cordia : Maemo5 UI on top MeeGo Core

So basically a TouchBook II running Cordia ?
Sound really nice! :)
