Without much fanfare or any publicity, this Instagram ( the cool iOS app that adds effects and filters to a photo on the fly and shares it on social networks ) look-alike for Symbian devices has been launched in the Ovi Store. It’s a free application and it’s called Molome. Like stop motion videos ? [...]
As always, the game-seeker Camb078 from blog-n8.fr has found a cool Qt-based game on the Ovi store called TreeMaker. This cute game is a physics based puzzle that has various levels and chapters, like for ex : Angry Birds. Basically you(some kind of a black bird) should sling across platforms and make(?) trees or get(grow) [...]
The power of Qt as a leveller – develop/port apps on Qt and have them on all Qt enabled devices. Be they running on Maemo, MeeGo, Symbian or Android (Also on any other device that can run Qt). Furthermore, the folks at cutehacks shows how the same app runs not only on different operating systems, [...]
Following on from the two posts below: http://mynokiablog.com/2011/03/07/nokia-sells-qt-licencing-and-services-business-to-digia-to-work-together-and-grow-community/ http://mynokiablog.com/2011/03/15/clarifying-the-qt-and-digia-headlines-qt-facts-and-fiction/ Digia Senior Vice President, Harri Paani, guest posts on the Qt Blog to explain Digia’s intentions and plans for Qt: Cheers Blackidea for the tip! http://blog.qt.nokia.com/2011/03/17/digia-to-expand-use-of-qt-in-the-desktop-and-embedded-environments/ Digia’s plan to acquire the Qt Commercial licensing and service business from Nokia has brought up some justifiable questions [...]
Tommi Laukanen strikes again with yet another awesome step forward with QT QML projects. Inspired by Flipboard for iPad (which he says would be the one app to make him get one) he’s sought about to mimic Flipboard’s page turn effect with QML script. Flipboard for iPad looks great huh? I wonder what other aspects [...]
This video from MeeGoDeveloper shows you how to simply add location awareness to an application using MeeGo’s location API to gather location coordinates from a device’s sensors. This demo shows simple C++ and QML declarations in Qt Creator and explains how the declarations in QML are used to establish the UI elements while C++ is [...]
Yesterday Kryak tipped us on a couple of new Qt projects: Flake and Nu, pagadi. https://projects.forum.nokia.com/flake_weather https://projects.forum.nokia.com/PAGADI << can be downloaded Flake is the weather application you can see above. This is a weather application done in QML. You can manage multiple locations, view 5-day forecast, simple temperature graphs and a world map view of [...]
Yesterday we saw Kasvopus, a new project from Tommi Laukkanen that brings a very promising facebook client to Nokia Devices. The only one so far comes by way of the frighteningly bad Social App produced by NOKIA. There’s quite some potential with Kasvopus, hopefully it will receive more updates and more features, but for now [...]
In the video below, you’ll see a Qt QML Photoshop Exporter. Basically from the design elements side at photoshop, you can quickly export those into QML code so going from nothing (just photoshop designs) to having some QML elements to work with. You’ll also see how the static elements when in Qt Creator can be [...]
In October it was discovered that the C7 had a secret NFC chip inside. Secret as either Nokia purposely chose not to acknowledge it as a feature or just part of their abysmal marketing of the things they’re good at. The video below from Qt studios (check out the slick QtQuick UI) shows Near Field [...]
With Nokia announcing Windows Phone was Nokia’s new Primary focus, it seemed to have signed the death certificate of Symbian, MeeGo and of course their shared development platform Qt (which has shown so much potential for Nokia and the MeeGo ecosystem). What is really happening to Qt? This it outlined in the official Qt blog. [...]
Sooooooooooo in the midst of all this calamity surrounding Elop’s lovely announcement of a “strategic partnership” with Microsoft, Forum Nokia, the go-to place for developers wishing to target Nokia’s devices made the following press release in the hopes of appeasing/taming rabid Nokia-interested developers Nokia and Microsoft today announced plans to form a broad strategic partnership that [...]
Here’s a video Jim found of RdUX II (update from RdUX), a Qt Quick based tablet desktop (possibly on MeeGo as that’s one of the tags). I don’t know what he device is but it looks like a giant iPhone. It has some cool features: Multitouch two point to bring up “birds eye view” that [...]
Jim found this video from October last year of a Qt Facebook App. It was a small proof of concept facebook client written using Qt Quick (QML) and apparently was just done in a few hours – their mission was just to get used to QML (the topic could have been anything, it just happened [...]
If you’ve got some good ideas, can put it to code and make it mobile app friendly, your creation can get really popular. Like that 14 year old’s angry birds toppling game and his version of a simple ball to target Physics Game (Like Numpty Physics on N900). You can check them out at http://www.callingallinnovators.com/10M/events_and_training.aspx [...]
New Twitter Client “TwimGo” had its roots in Maemo. We saw it recently make an appearance over to Symbian through Ovi Store. Now it’s been rewritten completely in Qt Quick QML and will soon be available to Maemo, Symbian and MeeGo in the near future. It’s got some pretty slick transitions, supporting multiple twitter feed [...]
Remember that cool Flickr app that we saw towards the end of December? Well a lot of work has gone into it and there’s been an update: QuickFlickr is starting to get closer to the first set of features which will be in QuickFlickr 2.0 Alpha version. This video demonstrates almost all the features that [...]
Neat little video found by Jim of a very cool Flickr Viewer for the Nokia N8 and other Symbian^3 devices. This video demonstrates QML based QuickFlickr i.e. Flickr client running on Symbian device (N8). What you see on the video is not the final product and it lacks many features, graphics and it still has [...]
Word from Jim is that a couple of days ago a competition launched for Qt Developers. Take your application from the desktop and port it to handheld devices, be it for MeeGo or Symbian via Qt, ready for Ovi Store consumption! There’s either a new phone “or even 10,000 euros” as a prize. The competition [...]
In iOS (e.g. iPhone) when you long press the icons, they start shaking about meaning you can move them. You can then drag and drop icons into place and the other icons shuffle around. You’ve always been able to move icons with Symbian, but needing to go Options>Organize. “Written in Qt Quick. The entire project [...]
Here’s a video from that Jim found showing the product (Super Mario) of a web developer who moved to the Qt/QML environment. They found it very easy to learn which is great since MeeGo and Symbian apps will share Qt based apps. Here’s a game I made with pure QML (no C++), costs around 4 [...]
