Application name: BackupMenu (system image utility)
Author: robbiethe1st Description: An application which allows you to make full backups of the RootFS(OS), and OptFS(extra programs), and then restore said backups. These backups(at least the RootFS ones) are also compatible with Nokia's Flasher utility, so you can restore directly, if you manage to make your N900 not even boot. Do note that this is a bootloader-based application(backup not possible with the full OS running), so you have to reboot the N900 to use it. Screenshots: http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/Backu...2647-small.JPG http://robbiethe1st.afraid.org/Backu...2648-small.JPG Features: -Runs at bootmenu-level; this allows RootFS to be unmounted and backed up. -Backup full images of RootFS and OptFS -RootFS Images compatible with Flasher -Restore images, either or both -Checksum of all images on backup and restore -Save files to MyDocs or SD card -No command knowledge needed Extra features: -Terminal access for fixing stuff(advanced) -FSCK ability -Extended USB Mass Storage mode that exposes OptFS. How to install: Install 'backupmenu' from 'extras-devel' Or download it manually here: http://maemo.org/packages/view/backupmenu/ How to use: Reboot the N900 with the keyboard open.

Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
my vote goes 100 % to QEXERCISE!
first of all because I think that it's very helpful for who take care of their body,I been using it for a long time and I'm very happy of it! then because Lullen even after that his phone got stolen gave us more then 30 updates to make it better!! |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Scout got my vote. This tool should have come as standard option with the n900. Palm had it already in the '90 s!!!

Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
I vote for TweeGo. First of all I don't have the heart to vote my own app DropN900 :)
I actually used TweeGo to monitor the DropBoxApi twitter channel for announcements when I developed my own entry for this competition. Also I went and read the source code a little bit from gitorious and I really like the way you use Qt, seems very professional C++/Qt usage. Easy to read and see whats going on. I especially appreciate the amount of work you have put to the UI code. Very good work. |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
N900 is an Internet machine!!! What is Internet without Twitter???? TweeGo has an advanced interface commented through all the Net (just google it). The development team is very active and performs several features asked by the community. Go TweeGo!!!! :-)

Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Qvernote has my vote. The main reason I got a smartphone was to be able to take notes on the go and sync them with notes on my laptop. Thanks Sharky,
If I had a second vote it would go to Drop900... |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Very nice application.

Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
TweeGO, the app for N900!!
the rest is just test!! :P Go TweeGo to win! |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
TweeGO, for N900. wonderful...

Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Hi all, I've received reports from competitors that there may be quite a few new accounts with zero posts voting on this thread. I just want to make sure everyone understands from the rules:

Just wanted to make that clear :) |

So, now the $100000 question. Are you the developer of TweeGO or the developer from the second placed program to get the developer from TweeGO disqualified? EDIT: Okay, someone has reported before and kojacker was faster than myself. But my question is still valid. |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Just for the sake of openness, I have received reports about both of the leading applications. I am currently following this up.

Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Thanks everyone for voting, the poll is finished :)
We have some things to check before announcing the final results, and I'll update here and on the discussion thread as soon as we can confirm the final places. Thanks again, will update soon ;) |

But that is getting ahead of ourselves. At the moment we're checking out a few weird voting patterns and accounts which may/may not be fake user accounts. Because the finished total of votes were so close between the first two apps, we owe it to the developers and those who donated to the bounty to make sure the result is as fair as we can make it. I don't expect a confirmation of results tonight (UK time), tomorrow morning at the earliest.. |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Beginner Apps Voting Thread:
qexercise galloped into the lead Maybe, there were some zero posts voters, too? Just asking....... ------------------------------------------------------- I like qexercise, don't get me wrong. In my humble opinion, health is more important than Twitter. The apps for which I voted in the threads (Other and Beginner) still have no chance to win (even third place) even if two leaders are disqualified. ------------------------------------------------------- Beginner Apps Contest is quite hidden; K9 Call received 0 votes as if even the developer didn't know about the voting thread. ------------------------------------------------------- Maybe, somebody advertised the two competitions somewhere (say, IRC channel) where many people didn't have maemo accounts at all. They all registered zero-posts accounts (no fraud, just many new users, who may have no N900 and judge just by descriptions and screenshots), and for some reason most of them preferred Twitter client or qexercise. How does it fit the guidelines of the competitions and the real data accessible to moderators? |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
So heres my story about this. I do not know if its against the rules to ask a lot of friends(both at parties and on facebook) to vote for my application. All the friends I have asked have seen the program. I did not see any rules about this I just know that I could not vote for my application more then once. So if THIS IS NOT ALLOWED please remove my vote. But next time makes the rules clearer for developers if this is against the rules. And as you say "Voting is strictly one vote per user." and I can say I have NOT CHEATED in any way! IF THIS IS NOT CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING, make the rules clear from the beginning from the start!
If you see this as a cheat please look at the maexercise or what its called as this will be a private project for the trustworthy people in the future. Do not think you can call me a cheater with no consequences... |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Lullen, thanks for coming on and explaining that. i'm taking the conversation to the competition discussion thread for the moment and responded to your post here - http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=526
Im still figuring this all out at the moment, if anyone would like to get involved in the conversation at the discussion thread they are very welcome. I'll update this voting thread with news when everything settles , thanks again everyone for taking part .. we'll have everything completed and wrapped up as soon as we can :) |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Thank you Lullen for clearifying this.
As I am at the third place, it is difficult to say something. But one thing I have to say. This is a maemo coding competition, voters should have a maemo device or at least know what maemo is prior to make a vote. Ok ideally a voter should be able to use the program he/she votes for. thank you nicolai |
Re: "Other" Category Apps Voting Thread [N900 Coding Competition]
Lol i didn't got the time to vote for my apps ... :)
