Summer'12 Device Program/New Apps for Nokia Store

There are many interesting applications for the Nokia N9 that can be found in the community channels but no at the Nokia Store. Some of them would be well received by the N9 users at large, don't you think? This activity brings an incentive for community developers to cover that last mile.

How to apply
The maintainer(s) of an existing community project must apply below to any of these sources:
 * http://apps.formeego.org page, own website or any other URL where the app package can be downloaded.
 * Forum thread or any other URLs where we can see reviews or user feedback.

The factors to be considered include the popularity of the app and the involvement of the developer(s) in maemo.org or other communities.


 * If the app looks suitable for the Nokia Store: congratulations! We will send you the device as soon as it's published.
 * If not, then reasons will be provided in order to give you a chance to address them.

There is a section about missing apps available for the N9 but not published in the Nokia Store at this wiki page. Your help identifying those apps is welcome.

Questions and feedback about the submissions are welcome in this forum thread.

Submissions
Add yourself at the end of the queue and follow this template:


 * 1) Project name, by Name Surname (nick) - Short description + other related links.


 * 1) Cue, by Anand Tamariya (atamariya) - CUE is a location based reminder application for Nokia phones. CUE helps you to remind you of "things to do" you need to do based on your current location. Did you forget to pick something up on your last trip to the market? Just set a reminder, and the next time you're near the market, CUE will remind you that you need to stop there, and why! It uses cellid based positioning to reduce power consumption. Here's a short demo video.
 * 2) * The thread shows an app for the N900. Are you proposing this to the Nokia Store or a N9 version?--qgil 19:39, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Stoppola, by Harri Pasanen (grego) - An application to make stop motion animations directly on N9.  Work in progress commercial application.  Will contribute improvements to ffmpeg/libav though to make those compile and work better on both Symbian and Meego.  AFAIK, there is no such application on N9 (nor on Symbian).
 * 4) * Where is the app? If you have to develop it then it is better to do it in the context of the Code Competition. This activity is for existing apps.--qgil 23:09, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) Mixxx, by Manuel Kirsch (Manuel) - an open source DJ application for mixing. Runs partially in a chroot environment.
 * 6) * So you need to have EasyDebian to run this? With that dependency I'd say the chances for this to get trhough the Nokia Store QA are prety slim... What is your approach?--qgil 21:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) * Should be possible to port Mixxx to Harmattan, when it runs on EasyDebian (and Harmattan pendant: HarmChom).
 * 8) QuickEdit, by Ricardo Band(XenGi) You can use QuickEdit to change the Quick-launch icons on the bottom when you swipe half the way up the screen from any app on your Nokia N9 or N950. Just start the app, click on the Quick-launch icon you want to change and then on the new app. That's all! The discussion thread can be found here
 * 9) * But this one is already published at the Nokia Store, isn't it.--qgil 22:30, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

 * DONE = The developer has received the device.


 * 1) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED mobilecrunch, by Michael Demetriou (qwazix) - This is a calculator based on speedcrunch, kde's default calculator. The ui is completely rewritten in QML. The special thing about it is that it uses the native meego input method (maliit), with all it's advantages for input. Related links: kde speedcrunch website - device preference: N950 -
 * 2) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED Presence VNC, by Jonni Rainisto (jonni) - This is a VNC client originally ported from N900 to Harmattan, which is now upgraded with working VKB for N9. This is also mentioned in missing apps list. - device preference: N950
 * 3) PUBLISHED (Clipbook) DATA RECEIVED Blob, ClipBook by Anand Bibek (anandbibek) - Blob is the first Google Blogger(formerly blogspot) client for Meego (and also Symbian). Features a full fledged blog management ability along with some special tricks like clipboard manager and PC style text editor. Currently 99% done and awaiting a little polish before submitting to store. || ClipBook is a clipboard manager app that stores the clipboard entries into a database whenever a new item is available in clipboard, making the history accessible even after a restart of the app, or the phone. Other works @my blog  _ Device preference - N9
 * 4) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED Eyrie, by Michael Sheldon (Elleo) - Eyrie listens to music through the device's microphone and computes a fingerprint based around the EchoPrint algorithm which is then used to find out what the music is and who it's by (similar to proprietary apps like Shazam and SoundHound). An N9 would be particularly useful for this project due to apparent differences in recognition performance between the N950 and the N9. Device preference: N9, Links: My other Maemo/MeeGo related work
 * 5) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED - N9 - Camdrive, by Tomasz Pieniążek (arcean) - a C++/qt-components application that transforms your N9 into a car black box. Offers many interesting features, such as: car collision detection, playing stored videos and showing important informations in the same time. Provides an easy way to call emergency service, friend or just to send defined text message to someone. - device preference: N9
 * 6) NfcKeyring, by Mikael Hermansson (mikecomputing) - Stores password cryptated on your phone. Using a TAG to unlock the "MasterKey". The app simply reads the SNR from any Mifare compatible TAG and creates an AES key calculkated by SHA256(SNR and phone IMEA merged together). The AES key is then used to encrypt/decrypt the database.
 * 7) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED Waze-qt @ apps4meego Waze-qt @ TMO, by Assaf Paz (damagedspline) - Waze is a free, community-based traffic & navigation app and this is its unofficial Qt port - Prefer an N9
 * 8) DATA RECEIVED Scrobbler, by Fernando Muñoz (munozferna,beford) - Scrobbler is a Last.fm and Libre.fm application that allows you to register what you listen on the N9 built in media player. This is an effort to bring Felipe Contrera's Maemo-scrobbler into the Ovi Store. This need some work related to adding Account framework support, and optifying the package. Currently users need to edit a file from the Terminal in order to be able to use it. I've already ported, developed and published my own apps in the Ovi Store. 123 Device preference - N950
 * 9) DATA RECEIVED SymPy Interactive Shell for Harmattan, by Roberto Colistete Jr. (rcolistete) - SymPy is a a Computer Algebra System (CAS) like Mathematica, Maple, Maxima, etc, written in pure Python. I'm the maintainer of SymPy for Maemo 4, Maemo 5 and MeeGo Harmattan, as well as a contributor for the SymPy project helping it to run on small screens (by using the num_columns option to pretty printer). The goal is to release "SymPy Interactive Shell" with an icon, automatic installation of dependencies (including Terminal and IPython) and finally submitting to Nokia Store. The site "SymPy for smartphones & tablets" shows that Nokia N9/N950 is one of the best smartphones to run SymPy (due to speed, IPython availability, etc) and with the new "SymPy Interactive Shell" it would be easier to install and use. Preference for a N9 (because N950 would be more difficult to receive in Brazil, is not 100% compatible with N9 for testing & development and I have external Bluetooth keyboards)
 * 10) DATA RECEIVED phoneME for Maemo, by Davy Preuveneers (DavyP) - phoneME is an open source JavaME compatible virtual machine originally developed by Sun/Oracle which allows you to various midlets. After having done ports for WinCE and Android, I also did one for Maemo and MeeGo (upon request from another Maemo community member). It runs midlets much faster than MicroEmulator on top of JavaSE. The packages are available for download over here. More details about the port itself with feedback by the community in this TMO thread. - device preference: N9
 * 11) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED Perth Trains, by Matt Austin (mattaustin) - A python/pyside/QML app which displays live departure information for Transperth trains, in Perth Western Australia. 2012-06-13: Now published in the Nokia store. Forums links: 1, 2. - device preference: N9
 * 12) DATA RECEIVED PushUp, by Jens Georg (phako) - PushUp is a N9 sharing provider which implements the DLNA +PU+ service, allowing to show or play media files on UPnP/DLNA rendering devices such as TVs or speakers without the need of a fully-fledged DLNA server. It is planned that it will also support uploading to UPnP/DLNA media servers (+UP+) in the future. Also see its announcement on my blog or its entry in apps.formeego.com (After more than a month of fight with the QA an older version got pushed to store today). N9 preferred.
 * 13) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED StandByMee-Chess, by O. Varol (BluesLee) - StandByMee-Chess displays a randomly chosen chess position given by a FEN (Forsyth-Edwards-Notation) on the standby screen of the Nokia N9. For this I use an included chess database consisting of mate in #2 positions. I  prefer an N9 as the N950 has no low power screen.
 * 14) PUBLISHED DATA RECEIVED MeePasswords, by Ruediger Gad (Wonko) and Cornelius Hald (conny) - MeePasswords is a simple tool to securely store short snippets of sensible or confidential data such as passwords and the like. - Download via apps.formeego.com, apps.formeego.com (most recent version),direct download,Fremantle version - MeePasswords and versions for both Harmattan and Fremantle had been submitted to Nokia store for Q/A review today (2nd of June 2012). - MeePasswords Thread at TMO - In case MeePasswords is elected as winning application conny will receive the device. - Device preference: N9
 * 15) DATA RECEIVED Conky, by Lance Colton (Creamy Goodness) - Conky is a configurable system information utility that lets you fill the screen with various graphs and lists of things relating to phone resource usage such as memory, cpu, disk io, battery, network connections, and more.
