Re-commissioning N9 in 2018 - Page 12 - maemo.org

I can confirm that Youtube with the stock browser still works. Although Youtube only provides the very lowest quality to the device. Gmail does also work.

Google has now announced multiple times to drop TLS 1.1, and have silently missed the announced dates, but the day may still come at any time.

Most recent functionality loss was the Fahrplan app by smurfy. The German public transport site bahn.de now enforces TLS 1.2 and I can't search connections anymore.

I am still using my N9 daily as companion phone for Music, reading, videos and light browsing.

I'd imagine the same trick could be used that reportedly works on N900; run a caching https proxy on the device and route all traffic thru it.

I think so too that it should work, only to get new openssl running could be a problem. But with libressl and nginx, why not. Then also fahrplan should work again.

Yeah, openrepos don't work any more with the stock browser. That also means, for freshly flashed devices, one cannot download essential apps like n9repomirror or aegishack any more. Have to download on another device and transfer the file to n9 by Bluetooth, and launch installer through n9s transfers ui.

On another topic, there exist an Yandex map application for n9 which works fine, both online satellite and maps view are available, though there are placenames displayed in both local and Cyrillic scripts.

Nobody asked it, but here's a copy

I spent literally all day on my "new" made in Finland 64GB Nokia N9 - my goal is to have it as my main/daily phone.

Biggest problem was how to get any sort of maps&directions running in 2020?

NOTE: I dont drive so i need maps just to know how to get from A to B, e.g. walking in a town i have never been in before. If anyone knows how to get GPS running in opera that would be amazing.

No clue how to get the nokia drive or maps running. so, sort of easy workaround:

Once you get Opera 12 on the N9, you can use https://www.mapsdirections.org on there for either directions in text form or also graphically presented. For best performance get to the settings of Opera 12, then got to advanced settings and switch to DESKTOP user agent.

For 'maps' and 'drive' the configuration files in /home/user/.config/Nokia needs to be edited.

My Drive.ini

Code:

[GeneralSettings]
unitSystem=metric
ssoDone=true
appVersion=2.0.8+0m8
serviceAgreedOn="Fri, 1 May 2015 17:15:38 GMT"
allowConnections=true
traffic=false
routeOptions=63
gpsPowersaving=true

[MapSettings]
Perspective=2D
MapScheme=carnav.day.grey

[GuidanceSettings]
voiceSkin=5000
speedWarner=true
speedWarnerAudio=true
lowSpeedOffset=0
highSpeedOffset=0

My Maps.conf

Code:

[General]
isSsoEnabled=false
rebootMode=0


[places]

shareBaseURI=http://m.ovi.me
searchURI=http://where.desktop.mos.svc.ovi.com/NOSe/json
suggestionsURI=http://where.desktop.mos.svc.ovi.com/NOSe/json
placesURI=http://places.here.com/rest/v1/places/
recommendationsURI=http://avalon.mobile.recommendations.maps.svc.ovi.com/rest/v1/recommendations/nearby/

[odml]
odmlBaseURI=http://static.maploader.maps.svc.ovi.com/map5/

[sso]

ssoType=production


[nps]

feedbackEnv=prd

Bold lines are important, howto's here in talk.maemo somewhere.

Then grab old Nokia maps from here: maps.tienda-sistore.com/Maps.php

Or install marble_1.3.3_armel.deb and monav-routing-daemon_0.3.release-1_armel.deb
I haven't tested directions in Marble, yet, but openstreetmaps tiles load well in it.

Also, Meerun app still works if you want to record your routes. Though, i had a 1900km car drive just few days ago, meerun was recording fine the whole time, but then i managed to crash the app anyway by repeated tapping on the STOP button. Later discovered, the button had to be slided up.

Thanks to veeall..............you are the only person on planet meego that has pointed out that you can just transfer deb files with blue tooth from another phone.

..it may seem simple but it's the answer to all or most of the problems peeps are having with their Nokia N9 issues.

+1. I updated accordingly the Resurrect_your_N9 wiki as well : for the very first installations of the very required tools (N9repomirror, N9Qtweak ...etc), I suggest to transfer files with BlueTooth.
