Hi all, just a kindly request to please keep the voting threads clear for users and testers to comment, all the application entry info should be in the first post(s) or in your own Maemo.org threads.

Voters, please judge on the work that has been done over the 2 month competition period - not what might possibly be coming in the future - this keeps it fair for everybody

All the best to everyone, only a few days left now.. it's nearly all over!

You can install it using x-terminal. Run as root:

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install libqtm-contacts
Let me know if you run into any issues after that.

You won't need any .deb files.

Are you trying to install MyContacts using the application manager or did you download the .deb file for it? The application manager is the recommended way because it will handle the dependencies automatically (including libqtm-contacts).

If you decide to install using apt-get, you will need to start the x-terminal and to become root type:

Code:
root
Note: before you can do that you need to make sure that you have installed the "rootsh" package using the application manager.

Then you should be ready to continue (from the x-terminal still as root):

Code:
apt-get update
apt-get install libqtm-contacts
apt-get install mycontacts
EDIT: If you don't mind please post any other questions to the MyContacts thread directly so we don't add noise to this thread.
