Because translation sites can’t be trusted, especially when attempting Finnish, here is a translation of the gripping Story of MeeGo/Maemo into English by Finnish peeps. http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/nokia-meegon-tarina,10 Apologies still for the lack of summary, just under a tonne of work at Uni/Hospital. Cheers Ei Nimeä and Timo for the heads up!
I’m a little bit strapped for time but I thought I’d share this instead of waiting before I get the chance to read it myself. The original story is in Finnish but you can translate it if you don’t know that awesome language (though do note the high likelihood of translation error). http://taskumuro.com/artikkelit/Nokia-meego Nokia [...]
I was scrolling through Twitter a few weeks ago, and saw a post about Nemo Mobile ( MeeGo 1.3 CE), and a browser it shares with the N9, HeliumReborn. I decided to try it out again, as it had apparently been updated a lot from my last experience. Using it, I thought about SnowShoe, that [...]
This post was inspired by the dropping of Symbian & Meego support for Nokia City Lens and is mostly a collection of my thoughts regarding the Beta services provided by Nokia, it might seem like random ramblings, but I promise you there’s a point to all this buried somewhere (if you look deep enough). Nokia Beta [...]
Today MOLOME was announced to be coming to ALL major platforms, in the form of “MOLOME V3 codename “Phoenix” “. They released a pretty interesting video, to accompany the whole “Phoneix” theme. It makes sense, as Symbian, the original platform of MOLOME, and also MeeGo, are now “burnt”, which would link to the ashes part [...]
This is something I had been waiting for since the N9 got dual-booting abilities (and then multi-boot). It is still an early version, but the GUI is apparently easily customisable. We may see some amazing and polished dual/multi-boot solutions. I preferred having a boot image for NitDroid, let alone an actual GUI where you can [...]
Raj shares some news that FireFox for the Nokia N9 has been updated to v15. Sounds about right given FireFox desktop was updated to v15 not too long ago and N9′s version is always soon after that. Also, I’m not sure what this is but the homescreen has been updated to v2.0? Have your received [...]
This is one of my favourite phones ever, the Nokia N900 running a new UI with Nemo 2012.08.31. by nsuffys
Honestly, I’m not surprised. The Nitdroid Project managed to get ICS on to our N9s before lots of Android devices were updated or even released with that update, and now, it has happened again. Although no official release has been made, there is a video showing the N9 running the latest iteration of Android, Android [...]
Something that every N9 user that uses MFE with a Live/Hotmail/Outlook account has been affected by, is that the N9 no longer syncs correctly. This was caused by Microsoft updating some protocols or something technical like that, and Nokia not rectifying the situation. Here are two really quick fixes that have not only worked for [...]
This one is quite out in the Store just yet, but the author has published over at TMO that V1.6 of Home Screen Settings is coming soon (pending Store Q&A & Translations). The update adds a feature I had wanted to implement and never got around to, as I didn’t know how. (Turns out the [...]
I’ve been using this for the last month thanks to my friend Arie ( @EverythingN9 ). I wanted to bring this to you guys earlier, but the method to install the patch was rather involved for the everyday user. I’ve recently learned that N9 Quick Tweak (N9QT) has this option as part of it’s extensive [...]
Another post from NokConv who reports that Nokia Suite 3.5Beta for Windows adds support for Nokia N9. http://conversations.nokia.com/2012/08/08/nokia-suite-3-5-beta-for-windows-adds-n9-support/ Nokia Suite 3.5 Beta for Windows is a useful tool that is used to perform a variety of tasks, including: Backing up your contacts to the PC Saving your text messages Transferring multimedia items, such as music, photos [...]
My N9 is currently off and charging at the moment so I can’t check this but apparently FireFox update to v14 for Nokia n9 is available. My desktop Firefox is also requesting an update to v14. Cheers Raj for the tip!
I’ve been meaning to bring this to you guys for a while, especially since there has been lots of developments with both these tweaks, including my modding aim to have battery percent in the status bar. (Note: I didn’t do it, couldn’t learn QT quick enough). So, first up is Unrestricted System UI. What this [...]
Here’s a free wordpress app for the Nokia N9 – Blob. It’s free and it’s at Nokia store. http://store.ovi.com/content/266320 It has a link to a paid version but for some reason it warns me that it’s not available for the N9. Then again I’m browsing in Chrome. Blob: Blogger and WordPress client. ● NOW SUPPORTS [...]
Beta labs has issued a small update for Nokia City Scene on the Nokia N9 http://betalabs.nokia.com/trials/nokia-city-scene Notice 2012-07-27: Some of you have reported application start-up problems with version 2.0.4 of City Scene, which is now rolling out in an update from Nokia Store. We will try to resolve those issues as soon as possible. Minor [...]
I remember watching some tech show that presented the potential negatives of NFC wallets as easy targets for e-thiefs. They’ll simply pass you and upon NFC contact, you’ll get charged. Ars Technica highlights this issue on Android and Nokia handsets with NFC based on 6 months of research by Charlie Miller. Regarding Nokia NFC, they [...]
This video shows (in Russian?) a simple video editor on the Nokia N9. I like that time line at the bottom. Splicing clips doesn’t look too complicated. Not sure if you can add transitions/text. by revazrezo
What you’re looking at in this video is supposedly FireFox OS on the Nokia N9 via B2G.. Very nice result of merging Mozilla Firefox OS project and Nitdroid N9. Nitdroid provides Android HAL for N9, and B2G/FF OS actually ported already to android HAL. As result we have N9 running B2G, wlan support, hdspa, data [...]
Ahead of pretty much every other actual Android device, here’s the Nokia N9 with Jelly Bean. It’s just a photo for the moment. It has v4.1.1 installed. I’m not quite sure what is working and what isn’t (with N9 Android ports, you can’t be sure that everything is fully functional). Source: GSM Arena Cheers ‘USER’ [...]
