Anyone still using N900: What apps do you need/want? - Page 2 - maemo.org

Dongle Fongle | # 11 | 2016-03-27, 18:49 | Report

working with two n900s.
a general list of my wishes over time

- a way to load airbnb properly
- a working way to sync google calender
- a way to inmediately prioritize incoming phonecalls over anything in the system or / disable the 'red hang up' button and only make 'green accept call' an option when clicking. hanging up could be done by flipping the phone over (the last point is already a system a system functionality)
- dropbox / google drive / mega
- an even faster transitions.ini as found in all the threads
- working truecrypt update on latest powerkernel, which succesfully mounts containers without crashing

- optfs encryption as found in perfect setup, with the needed files or and/or noob version instructions?

added:

- seperate imap sent folders for modest
- a light firefox style browser with ublock able of javacscipt loading

That's only a little bit understated.

Me, I'd love to have a.client of some kind for MythTV.

Could do with an update browser. Firefox base would be my preference but chromium would suffice.

I prefer desktop view on my sites and jave addons to block out the junk, so don't care about a mobile view (or apps).

Was there not a MythTV client for the N900? It's been a while but I thought we had one.

For me the most needed function is a working GUI integration for owncloud (contacts, calendars and files).

For me, would be cool:
- Fb messenger integration to be fixed (I know I know the situation, but this phone is my no1 IM device)
- X360 controller support on USB
- reversed BT headset compatibility (now I can use my laptop to listen music from N900 via BT, but I want to listen my laptop's collection on the phone)

A port of petittrack(upgrade the QTE to QT4) would be nice, here is source:
http://www.qsl.net/n1vtn/petittrack.html
It helps plan and track amateur radio communication satellite passes as well as computing the doppler frequency shift in real time keep a radio tuned to frequency.

I would also like a better airplane preflight checklist and flight planning app, that is more a tablet thing though.

A nice GUI for VNC server to make it easy to throw my N900 screen to my tablet for stuff like GPS mapping.

Mostly my minor needs and desires are held back by the N900 hardware not having BT-4le, a compass, NFC, and maybe the absence of new Scud batteries, and a modern browser to browse the bloaternet. Damnit I want my Nexus 7 to run Maemo 5 not CyanogenMod, even if that is the best of a terrible Android situation. I used to daydream of AlienDalvik on my N900 that dream ended when I got my first Android device last year. I cling to my N900 now and dream of mainlined Android kernel and probably unified repository Ubuntu.

I find that even with all the supposed choice in Android I am unimpressed with the plethora of web-frame and website-API apps and how they pause when minimized. That and how even Cyanogen hand holds me too much because of the mess securing unrooted droid has made of things, let us not even mention surfaceflinger.

This was working early on once we had H-E-N, problem is that it requires faster processing, even with a 200% CPU overclock to decode encrypted streams, there is the code on TMO, perhaps even .deb to get it working though if you live where the stream is unencrypted MPEG, no GUI as I remember.

Even with the overclock on the DSP and the hacked N9 drivers I think even 720p is a choppy mess on the N900, hardware limits again.
