So if you follow me on twitter, you would know that I had flashed Nemo to my N950 and was fiddling with dual booting. Below is the video I made. It is simple enough really. Turn the phone on like normal, be prompted with a few warnings and a standby screen featuring green text. Now, [...]
This is by far the best hack currently going for the N9/N950. It is called Inception. I won’t go over what it does in detail, that is what the TMO thread is for. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1175013 I will say, Inception makes your N9 more open then ever! Of course, if you don’t use terminal a lot, and [...]
I was sick of waiting for the update, so jumped on Navifirm. Why are all updates so delayed for Australia? Anyway, as expected, along with the OTA update of PR 1.2, there has been an update on Navifirm pushed out in the last 24hours. At the moment, I am only getting EU variants (both on [...]
Just saw a tweet saying that their N9 has received an update to 30.2012.07-1, which seems about right to be PR 1.2. If it is true, and we see more confirmations of the update, (My N9 has nothing.) it would really be an amazing day for Nokia Fans today. Let me know if you have [...]
Like the N900, there is attempts to bring Android to the N9. Been in contact with a dev over Twitter recently, DrunkDebugger, and he has gotten quite a lot done. He has even recently developed a method for untethered booting into Alternate OS. If you are interested, read about it here. Anyway, what I wanted [...]
I know these have been out for a while, but I hadn’t seen too many reviews of it. Thanks to Nokia Australia’s PR Agency, I was able to get one to trial and bring you a review on. I have a video that re-iterates everything I say in this post so if you prefer to [...]
Last week I brought you a way to install MSN on the N9. It was very long and involved extensive terminal work. This is an updated way, using three .deb files and four simple terminal commands. It will provide you with access to creating these accounts using the Accounts UI app. First of all, download [...]
Something many of us who have had the pleasure of owning an N900 know, is the ability to flash the device with a range of OSes. Now it seems you can do the same with the N950. (This does not mean dual-boot. Simply run a different OS on your device.) The MeeGo community has put [...]
Whilst Jay’s off at the Nokia World Event, I thought I’d keep an eye out for things others are posting and it looks like TheVerge have managed to get a few minutes alone with Stephen Elop where he explains a few things following the Nokia Lumia 800 and 710 launch. Checkout the video below, it’s [...]
In the first half of my review, I was thoroughly impressed with the hardware aspect of Nokia N9. Now it’s time to dive into the software department of this unique phone, and things are starting to look even more intriguing…
Remember Project Meltemi – a new Linux based OS for Nokia, as indicated by the name (which follows the Maemo way of wind names). We had a tip that we didn’t get to post about as I wasn’t sure where it was going, but GSM Arena later covered saying it’s NOT Linux, with speculation that [...]
I thought I would not post about Tizen anymore since it was pretty much irrelevant to Nokia but apparently, Nomovok are going to provide Tizen with Qt. Previously it was thought that Qt would be stripped out in favour of HTML5 but Nomovok will provide Tizen with integrated Qt for both x86 and ARM architectures. [...]
After mourning the death of MeeGo and its fall into the hands of Samsung with Intel as Tizen, here’s something positive to pick up on. WSJ has revealled more details on Project Meltemi. You may have heard it mentioned in a leaked internal memo in April, and also quite casually in the leaked staff keynote [...]
According to Financial Times Deutschland, MeeGo is going to be merged with competing platform, “LiMo”. This would supposedly be backed by NEC, Panasonic and most importantly, Samsung. http://www.ftd.de I haven’t seen anything officially announced yet, but a search shows Bloomberg is also reporting on this. http://www.bloomberg.com Is this how the N9 would be the last [...]
Spoke to my friend at Vodafone today, regarding the conference he went to during the week. He had a hands-on with the device and is quite impressed. He said he wants one, despite at first being skeptical when I told him I thought it was better then the iPhone. He now agrees :p He [...]
While attending an Intel MeeGo event this Tuesday, there was a chance I’d finally catch a glimpse of Nokia MeeGo phone in the wild. Probably not the N9, but its geekier counterpart… And, well, turns out I did!
Following on from the Nokia Bubbles beta we showed you yesterday, (which if you haven’t already downloaded, you probably should, like NOW), we’re happy to bring you a new release of the lovely and FREE twitter client, Twimgo. The developer, Tommi Laukkanen would love for you guys to try out his new app and leave as much [...]
At first glance you might be looking at a pretty picture of these beatiful looking Nokia E7 with Qt quick demo apps, but after closer inspection the silver E7 in the left might be sporting a new UI for multitasking, now remember the E7 runs Symbian 3 and multitasking is definitely not like it is [...]
Gotta love twitter! This recent news was broken a few hours back but has completely taken over the twitter-verse in the past hour or two. According to the people at Qt- labs this new release is the marriage of the Nokia Qt SDK and the previous Qt SDK based on Qt 4.7. Barely a day [...]
The gigantic Windows Mobile HTC HD2 has been spotted with MeeGo 1.1. There were some initial problems, but recent tweets from Steve Smith says he has got the touch screen working. The screen, as with the Android ports look a little stretched. BTW, non-Nokia blogs are reporting the UI to be interesting. And those big, [...]
The FIRST ever MeeGo conference begins today in Dublin at 09:00GMT. (Well today if we’re ignoring the early bird sessions that happened during the weekend). No more Maemo Summit, it is now of course all about MeeGo. The overview of the events are as shown below, but a much detailed programme list can be found [...]
