PR-1.3

This page describes several packages which forms Maemo Browser.

Some of them are now open sourced, and then there are some old (Maemo4) source code. This is list of packages browser-neteal osso-browser tablet-bookmark-manager tablet-browser-controls tablet-browser-daemon tablet-browser-default-plugin tablet-browser-dialogs tablet-browser-mediaplayer-plugin tablet-browser-ui tablet-browser-view tablet-browser-widgets osso-bookmark-engine tablet-browser-bookmarks-mr0

Open packages: browser-neteal: http://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/client-server/trunk/neteal/?root=browser tablet-browser-daemon: http://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/client-server/trunk/server/?root=browser (this provides: /usr/sbin/browserd)

Discussion about opening more of them: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75590

- It is possible to remove MaemoBrowser entirely and use some of alternative web browser (for browsing, they will yet integrate as good as default one).

How to remove MaemoBrowser:

apt-get remove --purge browser-neteal osso-browser \ tablet-bookmark-manager \ tablet-browser-controls \ tablet-browser-daemon \ tablet-browser-default-plugin \ tablet-browser-dialogs \ tablet-browser-mediaplayer-plugin \ tablet-browser-ui \ tablet-browser-view \ tablet-browser-widgets rm /etc/X11/Xsession.post/30tablet-browser-daemon
 * 1) Step1: remove easy packages

Step2: install hildon-home which is compiled without osso-bookmarks wget http://cc.oulu.fi/~rantalai/maemo/freemantle/hildon-home_0.3.70-1+0m5_armel.deb dpkg -i hildon-home_0.3.70-1+0m5_armel.deb

With this hildon-home *bookmarks on desktop doesn't have images. *Adding new elements to the desktop doesn't have 'new bookmark' (but if you have MaemoBrowser removed, bookmarks on desktop will not work any way)

Step3: remove end of the MaemoBrowser apt-get remove --purge osso-bookmark-engine \ tablet-browser-bookmarks-mr0

(Step2 and Step3 are optionals. Step1 and Step3 can be merged if Step2 has done already)

If removed *Not critical (if you really don't have /etc/X11/Xsession.post/tablet-browser-daemon trying to start browserd and reboot when fails) *There will be no anymore application 'web' *Bookmarks on desktop won't start *... *...
