A short introduction about N9 camera stack:

N9/N950 camera with zoom during video recording!

Thu, 10 Nov 2011 12:17:49 +0000

If you are using PR 1.1 then you can simply enable zoom during video recording.

Just create a file /etc/camera.conf and add the following lines:

[debug]
recording-zoom = true

restart camera, enjoy and send postcards to the Harmattan camera team :)

I hope someone will create an Ovi store app for that ;)

Increase the font size of the N9 conversation view.

Wed, 02 Nov 2011 22:42:35 +0000

If you care about the readability more than you care about the eye candy then that's for you ;-)

1) You need to enable developer mode and ssh to the N9.

2) # mkdir -p /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/libmessagingwidgets0/style/

3) # vi /usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/libmessagingwidgets0/style/libmessagingwidgets0.css

4) Insert the following lines:

BubbleItem MLabelStyle#BubbleItemMessageIncoming {
font: $FONT_FAMILY 32px;
}
BubbleItem MLabelStyle#BubbleItemMessageOutgoing {
font: $FONT_FAMILY 32px;
}
BubbleItem MLabelStyle#BubbleTimeStampLabelOutgoing {
font: $FONT_FAMILY light 32px;
}
BubbleItem MLabelStyle#BubbleTimeStampLabelIncoming {
font: $FONT_FAMILY light 32px;
}

5) # su - user
6) $ killall -KILL messaging-ui
7) Enjoy :-)

Twitter OAuth Proxy

Tue, 14 Sep 2010 20:55:35 +0000

I'm using Twitter plugin for Contacts and Conversations to twitter on my N900.

Twitter recently moved to OAuth. Problem is the Maemo package is outdated and seems to be unmaintained.

I did some research and came across a blog entry about exploring OAuth-protected APIs and some code. Nice idea but not usable for me.

I ended up sitting down and writing a small python script that will re-route your HTTP requests to api.twitter.com after adding all the OAuth bills and whistles, read the reply from twitter and send it back. Neat ? :-)

There's also supertweet.net which I've discovered after I finished writing my script but seems they don't support all of the twitter API call while my script does that.

The script is simple without much error checking but it's been working for me for a few days already.

Last thing, I'm not interested in running a service like supertweet. I'll not be implementing the full OAuth protocol. Need to use it ? Register your own application.

Get the code while hot!

git clone git@gitorious.org:twitter-proxy/twitter-proxy.git

Next step: Thinking of maintaining the twitter plugin for Maemo. I already compiled the latest code and it sort of works fine :-)

ISI specifications for Nokia modems.

A serious limitation of the N900 connectivity subsystem IMHO is the inability to create multiple connections. One can only have one connection at a time.

MMS support development to be suspended until the end of February.

Wed, 03 Feb 2010 18:11:55 +0000

The gitorious repository now contains a broken mms-manager, a non functional mms-ui (because I changed the DBus interface ;-)), a preliminary mms viewer and a broken network connection manager. How pretty is that ? ;-)

I've been redesigning the DBus interfaces and I think I reached something. The UI can be easily adapted after that.

However, I'll be on vacation until the end of February. I can't work on mms until I'm back.

I'll try to commit and push the code I have on my laptop but the stuff will still be broken.

This is just a quick status.

Good wishes for the newly married couple ;-)

Not First MMS sent via N900 (Fremantle)

Sun, 03 Jan 2010 04:27:00 +0000

I've spent the past few days trying to get MMS to work on the N900.

EDIT: Seems frals has managed to beat me!

After the N900 has been announced. I was saying this to a friend of mine:

[Me] so
[Me] remember our discussion about a Linux powered phone ? ;)
[Me] sorry I convinced you that Linux on phones is a no while I knew we were doing it :)

him-arabic has been uploaded to maemo extras

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 13:20:50 +0000

Yup, thanks to Matan Ziv-Av who did a few improvements and fixes and uploaded him-arabic to maemo extras.

The good part is the addition of the Hebrew keymap (And a few other things).

Arabic Hildon Input Method

Tue, 11 Dec 2007 11:53:53 +0000

him-arabic.png

HIM Arabic plugin is on its way.

The code is available from my svn repository

svn co http://home.foolab.org/svn/projects/him-arabic/trunk/ him-arabic

* The code is UGLY. A lot of the functionality is still missing.
* No packages yet. I'll create them but my cold doesn't help much :-)
* The above screenshot is for scratchbox not for the actual device. I didn't try yet to run it on the device.
* You will also need an Arabic font. I packaged one here: ftp://foolab.org/pub/apt/pool/arabic/t/ttf-kacst/ttf-arabic-kacstbook_1.6.2+mry-1.0.1_all.deb

I know there's one provided by the browser team. It was me who did the packaging for it but I'll be providing multiple fonts soon so ttf-arabic is now a virtual package.

My Arabic related TODO list for maemo

Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:45:56 +0000

This is my Arabic related TODO list for maemo. It's my personal one not the Nokia employee one :-)

* katoob should be fully functional (I'm learning here). Actually I did more work today and I guess it's fine.
* Package and publish some Arabic fonts (I know there's one provided by the browser team).
* See what can be done regarding input (Low priority. Sorry to say that I don't like the HIM plugin interface).
* Check arabeyes.org apps. Is there anything useful and needs "porting" ?
* glibc/x11 Arabic locale ?
* Any suggestions ?

I'll not translate the UI for 3 reasons:
* I'm not of a translator.
* The license you agree to while downloading the OS image prevents me from doing that.
* Because we are using logical IDs in the code, we will f*** up the UI unless all of the strings are translated.

katoob under maemo.

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 16:31:52 +0000

So the svn repository now contains what should be katoob 0.5.9 (Hopefully). Which can now run under maemo.
