Extras-dev warning
The software hosted in extras-devel is most likely not ready for end users! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't play with it unless you really know what you are doing.

Saying that - if you are comfortable using it - i would really appreciate any feedback!!


Original Thread info
I started coding this a week or two ago with really very little programming experience and no knowledge of QT or Python. And i need to say a very big thankyou to everyone in this thread, and to mikec for a great introduction.

Also, for those who have put up with me in the previous HealthCheck thread here. And in particular, Qwerty12, Fatalsaint, Aspidites, Casper27, Atilla77. (Hope i havn't missed anyone!) - i really have appreciated all of your help!.

I'm pretty persistent, so happy i have something that finally loads up!

Please let me know if you find any odd bugs, and remember... Point the front camera at a lightbulb when it loads or when you press update (You can also do it outside during the day, seems to work)

Version 0.5.0-1 = being built now.
edit - The window says the wrong version, but the about box says the right one.
Just cut down some un-needed code and included g-streamer tools in the install.

yup can add that to a future tools page, don't see why not

Can we have storage information as well not just rootfs? ie /home/user/MyDocs and also can we have current local IP?

Thanks

Having this would throw out the need to install a bunch of apps (home ip widget + battery etc)

Yup got that in the code already - just run out of room, think i may split it into a second tab.
- will do

I noticed the firmware doesn't really indicate which 'region' it is ie Global? NA? UK?

Not sure where they are stored tbh but About screen has more details on the exact version number.

Which firmware are you using atm?

As a guide:

PR_F5_203_ARM.bin = UK unbranded variant
PR_F5_205_ARM.bin = UK Vodafone branded variant
PR_COMBINED_002_ARM.bin = USA variant
PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin = Middle East and North Africa variant
PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin = Global variant

Usually there are additional number following the usual firmware format
[ReleaseNumber].[Year].[Week]-[RevisionNumber?].[Region].[Unsure...]

ie
2.2009.51-1.203.1 would be UK unbranded variant
2.2009.51-1.205.1 would be UK Vodafone branded variant

could get it working for now, but knowing nokia they might go and change the format
