Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

That depends entirely on the application and the way it is coded.
There's nothing that will force you to sleep if you do not want to do it... :D

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

If i did not make my statement clear before...:

ability to record phone calls... and... personal ringtones for contact/group... Don't drop phonecall to 2G when 3G is available (2G voice sound is terrible bad quality in Jolla)

And, like Manatus said before... Pinball...

N9 is still better... I hope Jolla could be the next one... Now it is kind of little tablet for me... waiting...

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

You can record phone calls on Jolla but for now you have to take the opt-in update (I did) keeping in mind the memory issues being worked on then from openrepoes you install the call recorder. It works just great.

On personal ringtones I agree. On my N9 I have a ringtone for my wife, a different ringtone for work stuff (I am on call in IT), and a more general ringtone.

On Sailfish limitation is how commhistory stops SMS blocking: "SMS blocking is currently not possible because Sailfish's "commhistory" daemon (which receives SMSes and alerts the user about them, among other things) installs itself as a Telepathy observer instead of an approver or handler, thus making it impossible to override through the Telepathy API. (This is also why blocked voice calls will still appear in your list of recent calls.)" http://sourceforge.net/p/scumstopper/wiki/Home/ That was not the case on the N9, firewall pro blocks SMS just great as well as calls.

At least Jolla does not have Aegis like N9. Maybe Sailfish is another percent or 2 open. The community involvement through Mer and Nemo portions are nice, Nokia was developing more behind closed doors.

I find I need the android compatability (alien dalvik) as the Sailfish ecosystem is still so small compared even to Harmattan. We lose some developers because Jolla does not work in some countries and they have no paid apps option. Maybe try a bounty for apps you want on Sailfish like say porting cutetube?

I do feel it is best to support Jolla/Sailfish as Harmattan has no future being ported to other devices. Ubuntu touch does not seem to multitask well (see alternatives/Ubuntu thread). Our options seem a bit limited. Harmattan was clearly more mature.

@salyavin, My english is not so mature to tell what i really meant, but You said/writed it very well... I agree...

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

This is under development already.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

That's wonderful to hear TemeV! Thank you.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Is there any interest in porting rtorrent to sailfish. I find it the best torrent client out there, light fast, and cli based:D

I have tried to use transmission for the last couple of days but the cli version does not want to start downloading torrents while gui version simply frozes on me:mad:

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

A decent forum reader.

I'm currently using Siilihai - which works - but barely. It doesn't follow the Sailfish UI, it's impossible to even post - but as far as I'm aware it's the only native option currently.

I bet this place would be even more active if we could talk in lunch breaks / during commutes ;)

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

Finally got some spare time on my hands and so I have decided to tackle the rtorrent issue.

What I did was, hunted down all the missing dependencies on RPMfind, using the ones prebuilt for Fedora.
Basically what I needed were 4 packages: xmlrpc-c, libsigc++20, libtorrent and rtorrent itself.

After the installation I needed a working rtorrent.rc file so I have just modified the one from my main computer and copied it to the jolla home folder.

Re: What Applications would you like to see on Sailfish Devices?
 

I would like an app like vchannel on ios, an video rss reader

And aplease someone takes over the work of cutetube developer to bring it into jolla sailfish.
