Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Wed, 15 May 2024 12:15:55 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A big collection of software for N9 and mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). MeeShop (above) is an app store that allows to browse OpenRepos. A mirror of this repository is hosted on [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/WunderWungiel's website].
Mirror of standard Nokia repo is [http://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror CODeRUS] repo. Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net], contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* On your N9, navigate to [https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1575942&postcount=2 this post on talk.maemo.org] and download the attached file. You can also download it on a PC then transfer it to your N9 via Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of N9 RepoMirror.

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. It has all apps from OpenRepos.net (!) + couple others.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was OpenRepos client. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate, it does not work anymore.
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== File Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filecase_0.2.0_armel.deb FileCase]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/myexplorer-new-itc_2.3.1_armel.deb myExplorer]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filebox_0.1.0_armel.deb Filebox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filesplus_1.3.1_armel.deb FilesPlus]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/qadfilemanagerfree_1.1.16_armel.deb QAD File Manager]

See the "Apps" section below - it explains how to install them with Terminal bypassing any errors.

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not working anymore. Two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/meecast_1.1.33_armel.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/gismeteo_1.0.0_armel.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange and Mailo.com are half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Other Clients" (Not the "Nokia N9 Calendar", it does not work anymore)
## Give a nickname of your N9 device, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save. Url should follow this pattern : https://dav.fruux.com/principals/uid/xxxxxxxxxxxxx
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as STARTTLS security mechanism is not required. Only SSL and TLS are supported by n9.

* Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Not Working "as is"; requires workaround.'''

* Notekeeper was enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Since Evernote dropped support for the old TLS protocols, Notekeeper stopped working too. See here for more details : https://openrepos.net/content/hudhand/notekeeper
* However, if you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.

=== Phone ===
'''Depends of your Operator'''

This phone needs a 2G/3G cells.

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* [http://mp.nnchan.ru MPGram] - PHP-based web Telegram client. Really functional and nice.
* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Firefox%20v15.0.deb Firefox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeFox%20v1.0.5.deb MeeFox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mobile%20Labs%20v12.1.1.deb Opera Mobile]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20v8.0.35626.deb Opera Mini] ([http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20%28RU%29%20v8.0.35626.deb Russian version])

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

Use fixed [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/YouTube%20%28Invidious%29%20v0.0.4.deb YouTube launcher] by Wunder Wungiel. It opens [http://iteroni.com Invidious instance] and allows to browse YouTube.

Resurrect your N9

# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 14 Apr 2024 12:01:24 GMT

smartblu9: /* Notes (with synchronization) */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A big collection of software for N9 and mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). MeeShop (above) is an app store that allows to browse OpenRepos. A mirror of this repository is hosted on [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/WunderWungiel's website].
Mirror of standard Nokia repo is [http://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror CODeRUS] repo. Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net], contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* On your N9, navigate to [https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1575942&postcount=2 this post on talk.maemo.org] and download the attached file. You can also download it on a PC then transfer it to your N9 via Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of N9 RepoMirror.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. It has all apps from OpenRepos.net (!) + couple others.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was OpenRepos client. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate, it does not work anymore.
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== File Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filecase_0.2.0_armel.deb FileCase]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/myexplorer-new-itc_2.3.1_armel.deb myExplorer]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filebox_0.1.0_armel.deb Filebox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filesplus_1.3.1_armel.deb FilesPlus]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/qadfilemanagerfree_1.1.16_armel.deb QAD File Manager]

See the "Apps" section below - it explains how to install them with Terminal bypassing any errors.

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 13:08:18 GMT

smartblu9: /* Contacts */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A big collecton of software for N9 and mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). MeeShop (above) is an app store, that allows to browse OpenRepos.
Mirror of standard Nokia repo is [http://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror CODeRUS] repo Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net], contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* On N9, navigate to [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications] and find "N9 RepoMirror"
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of N9 RepoMirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. It has all apps from OpenRepos.net (!) + couple others.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was OpenRepos client. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate, it does not work anymore.
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filecase_0.2.0_armel.deb FileCase]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/myexplorer-new-itc_2.3.1_armel.deb myExplorer]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filebox_0.1.0_armel.deb Filebox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filesplus_1.3.1_armel.deb FilesPlus]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/qadfilemanagerfree_1.1.16_armel.deb QAD File Manager]

See the "Apps" section below - it explains how to install them with Terminal bypassing any errors.

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not working anymore. Two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/meecast_1.1.33_armel.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/gismeteo_1.0.0_armel.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange and Mailo.com are half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as STARTTLS security mechanism is not required. Only SSL and TLS are supported by n9.

* Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Notekeeper%20v2.1.1.deb Notekeeper 2.1.1]
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your Evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A big collecton of software for N9 and mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). MeeShop (above) is an app store, that allows to browse OpenRepos.
Mirror of standard Nokia repo is [http://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror CODeRUS] repo Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net], contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* On N9, navigate to [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications] and find "N9 RepoMirror"
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of N9 RepoMirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. It has all apps from OpenRepos.net (!) + couple others.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was OpenRepos client. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate, it does not work anymore.
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filecase_0.2.0_armel.deb FileCase]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/myexplorer-new-itc_2.3.1_armel.deb myExplorer]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filebox_0.1.0_armel.deb Filebox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filesplus_1.3.1_armel.deb FilesPlus]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/qadfilemanagerfree_1.1.16_armel.deb QAD File Manager]

See the "Apps" section below - it explains how to install them with Terminal bypassing any errors.

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not working anymore. Two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/meecast_1.1.33_armel.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/gismeteo_1.0.0_armel.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange and Mailo.com are half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as STARTTLS security mechanism is not required. Only SSL and TLS are supported by n9.

* Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Notekeeper%20v2.1.1.deb Notekeeper 2.1.1]
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your Evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* [http://mp.nnchan.ru MPGram] - PHP-based web Telegram client. Really functional and nice.
* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Firefox%20v15.0.deb Firefox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeFox%20v1.0.5.deb MeeFox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mobile%20Labs%20v12.1.1.deb Opera Mobile]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20v8.0.35626.deb Opera Mini] ([http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20%28RU%29%20v8.0.35626.deb Russian version])

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

Use fixed [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/YouTube%20%28Invidious%29%20v0.0.4.deb YouTube launcher] by Wunder Wungiel. It opens [http://iteroni.com Invidious instance] and allows to browse YouTube.

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Notekeeper%20v2.1.1.deb Notekeeper 2.1.1]
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your Evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Firefox%20v15.0.deb Firefox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeFox%20v1.0.5.deb MeeFox]

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 18:16:36 GMT

dredlok706: /* Nokia Store and Repositories */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A big collecton of software for N9 and mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). MeeShop (above) is an app store, that allows to browse OpenRepos.
Mirror of standard Nokia repo is [http://coderus.openrepos.net/n9mirror CODeRUS] repo Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net], contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* On N9, navigate to [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications] and find "N9 RepoMirror"
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of N9 RepoMirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. It has all apps from OpenRepos.net (!) + couple others.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was OpenRepos client. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate, it does not work anymore.
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filecase_0.2.0_armel.deb FileCase]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/myexplorer-new-itc_2.3.1_armel.deb myExplorer]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filebox_0.1.0_armel.deb Filebox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filesplus_1.3.1_armel.deb FilesPlus]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/qadfilemanagerfree_1.1.16_armel.deb QAD File Manager]

See the "Apps" section below - it explains how to install them with Terminal bypassing any errors.

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 18:12:59 GMT

dredlok706: /* Files Managers */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. It has all apps from OpenRepos.net (!) + couple others.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was OpenRepos client. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate, it does not work anymore.
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filecase_0.2.0_armel.deb FileCase]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/myexplorer-new-itc_2.3.1_armel.deb myExplorer]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filebox_0.1.0_armel.deb Filebox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/filesplus_1.3.1_armel.deb FilesPlus]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos/qadfilemanagerfree_1.1.16_armel.deb QAD File Manager]

See the "Apps" section below - it explains how to install them with Terminal bypassing any errors.

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as STARTTLS security mechanism is not required. Only SSL and TLS are supported by n9.

* Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:56:45 GMT

smartblu9: /* Mail */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as STARTTLS security mechanism is not required. Only SSL and TLS are supported by n9.

* Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Notekeeper%20v2.1.1.deb Notekeeper 2.1.1]
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your Evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* [http://mp.nnchan.ru MPGram] - PHP-based web Telegram client. Really functional and nice.
* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Firefox%20v15.0.deb Firefox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeFox%20v1.0.5.deb MeeFox]

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:17:15 GMT

* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Notekeeper%20v2.1.1.deb Notekeeper 2.1.1]
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your Evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* [http://mp.nnchan.ru MPGram] - PHP-based web Telegram client. Really functional and nice.
* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Firefox%20v15.0.deb Firefox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeFox%20v1.0.5.deb MeeFox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mobile%20Labs%20v12.1.1.deb Opera Mobile]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20v8.0.35626.deb Opera Mini] ([http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20%28RU%29%20v8.0.35626.deb Russian version])

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

Use fixed [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/YouTube%20%28Invidious%29%20v0.0.4.deb YouTube launcher] by Wunder Wungiel. It opens [http://iteroni.com Invidious instance] and allows to browse YouTube.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:16:32 GMT

dredlok706: /* Web */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

Default browser seems to be the quickest.

MeeFox is very slow, but gets the highest score.

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it bypasses SSL things and can open every site (although often not properly). works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:14:52 GMT

dredlok706: /* Web */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:14:37 GMT

dredlok706: /* Web */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:14:27 GMT

dredlok706: /* Web */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* [http://mp.nnchan.ru MPGram] - PHP-based web Telegram client. Really functional and nice.
* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

You can try these browsers:
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Firefox%20v15.0.deb Firefox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeFox%20v1.0.5.deb MeeFox]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mobile%20Labs%20v12.1.1.deb Opera Mobile]
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20v8.0.35626.deb Opera Mini] (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Opera%20Mini%20%28RU%29%20v8.0.35626.deb Russian version]

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

Use fixed [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/YouTube%20%28Invidious%29%20v0.0.4.deb YouTube launcher] by Wunder Wungiel. It opens [http://iteroni.com Invidious instance] and allows to browse YouTube.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:12:34 GMT

dredlok706: /* YouTube */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :

* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:11:35 GMT

dredlok706: /* Telegram */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :

* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:10:33 GMT

dredlok706: /* Maps */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MAPD%20v0.0.5-fix.deb MAPD (Map Downloader)] fixed by Wunder Wungiel. It allows to download maps easily using maploader.de server.

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:09:14 GMT

dredlok706: /* Google Hangouts */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Google Hangouts by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format).

A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works).

* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Works with fix'''

Use [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Facebook%20v0.0.1.deb Facebook] repack by Wunder Wungiel. It replaces Facebook launcher with brand new one, opening Facebook mBasic page

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

dredlok706 — Wed, 29 Mar 2023 18:07:11 GMT

dredlok706: /* AccuWeather */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== App store ===
MeeShop is a brand new Python-powered CLI app store for Nokia N9. For now, it allows to browse [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository Wunder Wungiel's repository], but in future it will include entire OpenRepos.
You can get latest version on GitHub: http://github.com/WunderWungiel/MeeShop/releases

Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today
You can use OpenRepos Mirror by Wunder Wungiel instead: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/openrepos. Just visit it on N9 and enjoy.

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get]..

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb MeeCast] is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb Gismeteo] is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

Ubiboot

dredlok706 — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:33:53 GMT

dredlok706: /* Install and Prepare Filebox and Filebox Root */

== Introduction ==

[http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot/ Ubiboot] is a boot manager for N9(50) devices. Using the example configuration it is fairly easy to hexa-boot the device between Harmattan/NITdroid/Nemo/Firefox/Leste/Sailfish Operating Systems, and change kernels at will.

Ubiboot is mainly aimed at developers and advanced users, so be warned. The procedures in this guide require understanding of the structure of an *nix filesystem and knowledge to work on a shell prompt (i.e. Terminal/Command Line).

== Benefits of Ubiboot N9 ==

# You can have multiple boot Operating Systems, each with multiple optional kernels on the device.
# Selecting the boot kernel is quick and easy with the graphical touchscreen menus.
# You will not need to flash the device to install and test a new kernel, just copying the kernel and modules to the device is enough.
# You have integrated repair/maintanance mode on the device, where you can export all partitions for backup/restore to a PC automatically.
# You can telnet and ssh to the device in maintanance mode, to do any desired repair operations. You can transfer backup archives to / from the device via sftp

== Prerequisites ==

To ensure that most of your efforts are focused on actual Ubiboot installation/setting up of a Hex Boot system, please make sure to fulfill the following prerequisites:

=== Flash the device (for a fresh start/clean state) ===

{{ambox
|type=delete
|text=It is assumed that you have backed up your important files (messages, contacts, pictures, videos, music, etc.) before flashing the device.
}}

'''TIP''': The sequence of flashing commands below combines the usual flashing steps found in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/Flashing_N9 N9 Flashing Wiki], plus actual flashing of the Open-Mode Kernel so that upon first boot, the device will already be in "Open-Mode". This is called Back-to-Back Closedmode/Openmode flashing. If you follow this style of flashing the device, you will no longer need to delete some folders (.accounts/, ./aegis, and ./activesync) for the device to store passwords correctly. The additional benefits of the Back-to-Back flashing is that you get rid of a lot of unstability in the device caused by some parts still being accessed with closed-mode aegis keys.

'''TIP''': If you want to be rid of the "Scary Warranty Warning", which a device displays when booting in Open Mode you have to remove that '''Before entering open mode'''.

Flash your device with rootfs, omit the parameter "-R" (which means "reboot")

sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -f

or

sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -F <youremmc.bin> -f

or "Zeroize Method" of flashing, which "wipes" user data and EMMC. Note that this command flashes the eMMC twice and takes many hours to complete the process. You will see a notification/warning of eMMC "unnecessarily being flashed twice") in the Terminal when flashing via this method.

sudo flasher -f -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> --erase-user-data=secure -F <youremmc.bin> --erase-mmc=secure

Next, take care to directly flash the open mode kernel (do NOT boot up, nor pull USB cable, do not wait too long) with

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

(All credits to [http://maemo.org/profile/view/rainisto jonni/rainisto])

--[[User:Peterleinchen|peterleinchen]] 16:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

==== When Not Starting From A Fresh Flash ====
# Open Terminal on the device.
# Type the following commands and press Enter after typing each command ('''NOTE:''' this will delete all configured Accounts):
disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode
rm -rf /home/user/.accounts/
rm -rf /home/user/.aegis/
rm -rf /home/user/.activesync/

Shut down the device, plug to a USB cable and to a computer, and proceed with flashing the Open-Mode kernel as mentioned above:

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Upon first boot, you may set up your Accounts (email, social media accounts, i.e. Facebook etc.) once again.

'''REMINDERS:'''

# In MS Windows, just omit the word “sudo” from the command.
# In MS Windows, the “zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix” file needs to be in the same location as the Flasher Application, FIASCO, and eMMC images. Usually you would have installed the Flasher Application to C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher.
# For Linux users, usual “best practice” is to save the FIASCO, eMMC, and whatever Kernels at the main directory (/home/yourusername).
# "Device Lock Request" should be disabled when you are using Open-Mode.

== Prepare the Device ==

=== Enable Developer Mode and Installation of non-store sources ===
# Enable “Allow installations from non-store sources (Settings → Applications → Installations).
# Enable “Developer Mode” (Setitngs → Security → Developer mode)...your device will restart. Upon restart, you will now see Terminal being available for use.

=== Install and Prepare FileCase and FileCase Root ===
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb FileCase]
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb N9QTweak]. Upon installation, run N9QTweak and enable “Root FileCase” (as of the latest version, this is under [http://wiki.maemo.org/N9QTweak#Tweak_H:_Enable_ROOT-SSH_Access_.26_Root_Filebox].
# You should now have FileCase Root. Open FileCase Root and navigate to “MyDocs” (usually at first use of FileCase, you are already at “MyDocs”) and create a new folder called “boot” (without the quotes).
# In the “Settings” (the gear icon at the lower-right), enable the following:
#* Show root filesystem
#* Show hidden filesystem

=== Moving files using FileCase Root ===

This section guides you on where to move/copy the files that were downloaded in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Ubiboot&action=submit#Download_Needed_Files Download Needed Files] section above.

Place/move/copy the following files inside the newly-created “boot” folder under “MyDocs”:

ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio

Next is to move the "zImage..." files.

# Go up three (3) levels by pressing the “up” arrow (found at the lower-left of FileCase Root) . You should be at the “root” folder (you can confirm this when you see that the blue banner at the top of FileCase Root shows only a forward-slash “/”).
# Find the “/boot” folder...we are looking for the "/boot" under root directory, '''not the “/home/user/MyDocs/boot” folder (i.e. that we created inside “MyDocs”)''' and go inside that folder.
# Paste the three (or four) "zImage..." files:

zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

'''REVIEW/RECAP:''' These are the locations where the "needed files" are to be moved/pasted/located.

/home/user/MyDocs should contain:
preinits.tar
nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2
apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2
b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz
/home/user/MyDocs/boot should contain:

zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

=== Extract preinits.tar, the NITDroid and the FirefoxOS files ===

'''NOTE:''' Terminal should still be open at this point.

Type the following commands in the Terminal and press Enter after typing each command (NOTE: do not change the order of the commands):

devel-su '''(default password is "rootme", without quotes)'''

== Install Nemo Mobile OS ==

{{ambox|text=Many users reported that this procedure breaks partitions on Nokia N9, mostly in 16GB versions. Better don't proceed, unless you know what you're doing..}}

{{ambox|text=At this point, it is highly recommended that you are using a Linux-based Operating System (Ubuntu will work fine).

'''Note that for installing Nemo, this guide focuses on using Linux to ensure conformity of a default, fool-proof procedure of a quadru-boot system with Harmattan, NITDroid, FirefoxOS, and Nemo.'''
}}

In Linux, enter the following commands as per the [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing#Single_Boot_by_Loading_The_Kernel_.28Not_recommended.29 Nemo Wiki Page]:

wget -r -l1 -nd --no-parent -Amoslo-0.*.rpm http://releases.nemomobile.org/snapshots/repos/hw/ti/omap3/n950-n9/latest/armv7hl/armv7hl/
rpm2cpio moslo-*.armv7hl.rpm | cpio -vidu
sudo flasher -k usr/share/moslo/zImage-moslo -n usr/share/moslo/initrd-moslo -l -b

Alternative: for the "wget" command above, you may download the MOSLO directly as I have mentioned in the “[http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Nemo_Files Download Needed Files]” section above. Then you may proceed with the second and third commands.

'''MS Windows users:''' you can install 7-Zip and use that to go inside the '''moslo-0.0.13.2-1.5.Nemo.Adaptation.N9xx.armv7hl.rpm''' file. Keep going one directory deeper until you find two files:

* initrd-moslo
* zImage-moslo

Next, extract those files and place them in the same directory as the Flasher application. Once done, the command will be now modified as follows:

flasher.exe -k zImage-moslo -n initrd-moslo -l -b

[[Image:13060003.jpg|500px|]]

# The Terminal will give you a message that it is waiting for a suitable USB device. Make sure your device is turned off and plug it to your computer via the USB cable. The flashing procedure should finish in a few seconds.
# Keep the device plugged. What happens next is that the N9 is being repartitioned for Nemo (on the device, you will see some green text/writing on the screen; just wait for it to finish) , you'll see the led blinking for 10min or so.
# You will also notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will show a folder named “Alt_OS”. This is the newly-created partition.
# Next, we will extract the Nemo image into the newly-created partition. Enter this command in the Terminal (for Linux only):

sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/

Now, unplug the device from the USB Cable. The screen should tell you to "push Volume Up" to boot into Harmattan, or "push Volume Down" to boot into Nemo.

'''TIPS:'''

# Sometimes, the name of the partition is Alt_OS_, with a single underline/underscores after “S” instead of the default Alt_OS (without underscore). Sometimes it has two (2) underlines/underscores. In my case, it had three (3) underlines/underscores.
# Sometimes, the path of the Alt_OS partition is /media/'''yourusername'''/Alt_OS.
# To be sure, before extracting the Nemo image, you may want to check the correct name by entering the Linux command of “lsblk” (without the quotes).
# As a matter of “best practice” it is recommended to have a File Manager open and navigating to "Alt_OS" during the extraction command to verify that the files are being extracted to the correct location.
# By experience, booting the device at this stage will result to either a reboot loop or the device not turning on at all. Sometimes, upon unplugging of the USB cable as mentioned above and selecting "Volume Down" to boot into Nemo, nothing happens (device is unresponsive and stays black). '''It is highly recommend not to turn on the device until you complete the setup/process from this point onward.'''

== Flash the Device with Ubiboot-02 ==

'''NOTE: for this step, the device should be turned off.'''

Flash the ubiboot-02 Kernel with the command below. Replace <yourmainfirmware.bin> with the filename of your N9 FIASCO image if you have renamed it differently.

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_23032018 --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Once the device reboots, keep the USB cable plugged in to enter “maintenance mode”. You will notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will mount/show all the partitions:

Nokia N9 '''(this is the “MyDocs” directory)'''
rootfs '''(this is the “/” directory or partition of the Nokia N9's Harmattan OS)'''
another partition with a long series of alpha-numeric '''(this is the /home/nitdroid directory/partition)'''
Alt_OS '''(this is the Nemo directory/partition)'''

Double-check that the files we have moved earlier are in their correct places. Once confirmed, you can "eject" all the partitions from your File Manager. Unplug the USB Cable and the device will restart. When it restarts, you should now see the Ubiboot menu.

'''Congratulations, you now have Ubiboot completely set up with a Quatro-Boot configuration of Harmattan, NITDroid, Firefox OS and Nemo!'''

== Known Issues ==

This section attempts to document some user-reported issues and solutions with respect to Ubiboot usage, installation, etc.

=== Charging ===
Ubiboot handles rtc and usb events to boot up device from power off state:

a) to Ubiboot telnet console (when connected to PC USB), device will not be charged.

b) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to charge (when connected to wall charger).

c) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to trigger alarm.

"Case a" works flawlessly.

"Case b" sometimes does not work, but reboots and then starts up Ubiboot console/screen (not charging).

"Case c" needs some precondition. Make sure you have shutdown your device from Harmattan. Otherwise the alarm may not be triggered in NITDroid or will not be triggered in Nemo.

=== Alarm Clocks ===

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1355247&postcount=374
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1355278&postcount=377

The default behavior of the device, particularly with the default OS (Harmattan), is that clock alarms can be triggered even when the device is turned off. The posts above suggest that you need to ensure that the "last OS booted" should be Harmattan prior to turning the device off, because between Harmattan, NITDroid, and Nemo, the alarm clock system behavior of Harmattan is most stable. Based on the above posts linked, alarms of NITDroid and Nemo (when the device is turned off) don't behave as good as Harmattan does.

Ubiboot

dredlok706 — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:33:28 GMT

dredlok706: /* Moving files using Filebox Root */

== Introduction ==

[http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot/ Ubiboot] is a boot manager for N9(50) devices. Using the example configuration it is fairly easy to hexa-boot the device between Harmattan/NITdroid/Nemo/Firefox/Leste/Sailfish Operating Systems, and change kernels at will.

Ubiboot is mainly aimed at developers and advanced users, so be warned. The procedures in this guide require understanding of the structure of an *nix filesystem and knowledge to work on a shell prompt (i.e. Terminal/Command Line).

== Benefits of Ubiboot N9 ==

# You can have multiple boot Operating Systems, each with multiple optional kernels on the device.
# Selecting the boot kernel is quick and easy with the graphical touchscreen menus.
# You will not need to flash the device to install and test a new kernel, just copying the kernel and modules to the device is enough.
# You have integrated repair/maintanance mode on the device, where you can export all partitions for backup/restore to a PC automatically.
# You can telnet and ssh to the device in maintanance mode, to do any desired repair operations. You can transfer backup archives to / from the device via sftp

== Prerequisites ==

To ensure that most of your efforts are focused on actual Ubiboot installation/setting up of a Hex Boot system, please make sure to fulfill the following prerequisites:

=== Flash the device (for a fresh start/clean state) ===

{{ambox
|type=delete
|text=It is assumed that you have backed up your important files (messages, contacts, pictures, videos, music, etc.) before flashing the device.
}}

'''TIP''': The sequence of flashing commands below combines the usual flashing steps found in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/Flashing_N9 N9 Flashing Wiki], plus actual flashing of the Open-Mode Kernel so that upon first boot, the device will already be in "Open-Mode". This is called Back-to-Back Closedmode/Openmode flashing. If you follow this style of flashing the device, you will no longer need to delete some folders (.accounts/, ./aegis, and ./activesync) for the device to store passwords correctly. The additional benefits of the Back-to-Back flashing is that you get rid of a lot of unstability in the device caused by some parts still being accessed with closed-mode aegis keys.

'''TIP''': If you want to be rid of the "Scary Warranty Warning", which a device displays when booting in Open Mode you have to remove that '''Before entering open mode'''.

Flash your device with rootfs, omit the parameter "-R" (which means "reboot")

sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -f

or

sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -F <youremmc.bin> -f

or "Zeroize Method" of flashing, which "wipes" user data and EMMC. Note that this command flashes the eMMC twice and takes many hours to complete the process. You will see a notification/warning of eMMC "unnecessarily being flashed twice") in the Terminal when flashing via this method.

sudo flasher -f -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> --erase-user-data=secure -F <youremmc.bin> --erase-mmc=secure

Next, take care to directly flash the open mode kernel (do NOT boot up, nor pull USB cable, do not wait too long) with

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

(All credits to [http://maemo.org/profile/view/rainisto jonni/rainisto])

--[[User:Peterleinchen|peterleinchen]] 16:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

==== When Not Starting From A Fresh Flash ====
# Open Terminal on the device.
# Type the following commands and press Enter after typing each command ('''NOTE:''' this will delete all configured Accounts):
disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode
rm -rf /home/user/.accounts/
rm -rf /home/user/.aegis/
rm -rf /home/user/.activesync/

Shut down the device, plug to a USB cable and to a computer, and proceed with flashing the Open-Mode kernel as mentioned above:

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Upon first boot, you may set up your Accounts (email, social media accounts, i.e. Facebook etc.) once again.

'''REMINDERS:'''

# In MS Windows, just omit the word “sudo” from the command.
# In MS Windows, the “zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix” file needs to be in the same location as the Flasher Application, FIASCO, and eMMC images. Usually you would have installed the Flasher Application to C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher.
# For Linux users, usual “best practice” is to save the FIASCO, eMMC, and whatever Kernels at the main directory (/home/yourusername).
# "Device Lock Request" should be disabled when you are using Open-Mode.

=== Download Needed Files ===

== Prepare the Device ==

=== Enable Developer Mode and Installation of non-store sources ===
# Enable “Allow installations from non-store sources (Settings → Applications → Installations).
# Enable “Developer Mode” (Setitngs → Security → Developer mode)...your device will restart. Upon restart, you will now see Terminal being available for use.

=== Install and Prepare Filebox and Filebox Root ===
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb FileCase]
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb N9QTweak]. Upon installation, run N9QTweak and enable “Root FileCase” (as of the latest version, this is under [http://wiki.maemo.org/N9QTweak#Tweak_H:_Enable_ROOT-SSH_Access_.26_Root_Filebox].
# You should now have FileCase Root. Open FileCase Root and navigate to “MyDocs” (usually at first use of FileCase, you are already at “MyDocs”) and create a new folder called “boot” (without the quotes).
# In the “Settings” (the gear icon at the lower-right), enable the following:
#* Show root filesystem
#* Show hidden filesystem

=== Moving files using FileCase Root ===

This section guides you on where to move/copy the files that were downloaded in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Ubiboot&action=submit#Download_Needed_Files Download Needed Files] section above.

Place/move/copy the following files inside the newly-created “boot” folder under “MyDocs”:

ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio

Next is to move the "zImage..." files.

# Go up three (3) levels by pressing the “up” arrow (found at the lower-left of FileCase Root) . You should be at the “root” folder (you can confirm this when you see that the blue banner at the top of FileCase Root shows only a forward-slash “/”).
# Find the “/boot” folder...we are looking for the "/boot" under root directory, '''not the “/home/user/MyDocs/boot” folder (i.e. that we created inside “MyDocs”)''' and go inside that folder.
# Paste the three (or four) "zImage..." files:

zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

'''REVIEW/RECAP:''' These are the locations where the "needed files" are to be moved/pasted/located.

/home/user/MyDocs should contain:
preinits.tar
nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2
apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2
b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz
/home/user/MyDocs/boot should contain:
ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio
/boot should contain:
zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

=== Extract preinits.tar, the NITDroid and the FirefoxOS files ===

'''NOTE:''' Terminal should still be open at this point.

Type the following commands in the Terminal and press Enter after typing each command (NOTE: do not change the order of the commands):

devel-su '''(default password is "rootme", without quotes)'''
mkdir /home/nitdroid '''(creates the “nitdroid” directory under the /home directory)'''
cd /home/user/MyDocs '''(navigates to the directory where the NITDroid image is located)'''
tar -xvf preinits.tar -C / '''(extracts preinits to /sbin directory of the device)'''
tar xjvf nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid '''(extracts the NITDroid image to /home/nitdroid)'''
tar xjvf apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid '''(extracts the Apps2SD fix to /home/nitdroid)'''
mkdir /home/firefox_os '''(creates the “firefox_os” directory under the /home directory)'''

Ubiboot

dredlok706 — Fri, 10 Mar 2023 20:24:15 GMT

dredlok706: /* Install Nemo Mobile OS */

== Introduction ==

[http://www.swagman.org/juice/ubiboot/ Ubiboot] is a boot manager for N9(50) devices. Using the example configuration it is fairly easy to hexa-boot the device between Harmattan/NITdroid/Nemo/Firefox/Leste/Sailfish Operating Systems, and change kernels at will.

Ubiboot is mainly aimed at developers and advanced users, so be warned. The procedures in this guide require understanding of the structure of an *nix filesystem and knowledge to work on a shell prompt (i.e. Terminal/Command Line).

== Benefits of Ubiboot N9 ==

# You can have multiple boot Operating Systems, each with multiple optional kernels on the device.
# Selecting the boot kernel is quick and easy with the graphical touchscreen menus.
# You will not need to flash the device to install and test a new kernel, just copying the kernel and modules to the device is enough.
# You have integrated repair/maintanance mode on the device, where you can export all partitions for backup/restore to a PC automatically.
# You can telnet and ssh to the device in maintanance mode, to do any desired repair operations. You can transfer backup archives to / from the device via sftp

== Prerequisites ==

To ensure that most of your efforts are focused on actual Ubiboot installation/setting up of a Hex Boot system, please make sure to fulfill the following prerequisites:

=== Flash the device (for a fresh start/clean state) ===

{{ambox
|type=delete
|text=It is assumed that you have backed up your important files (messages, contacts, pictures, videos, music, etc.) before flashing the device.
}}

'''TIP''': The sequence of flashing commands below combines the usual flashing steps found in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/Flashing_N9 N9 Flashing Wiki], plus actual flashing of the Open-Mode Kernel so that upon first boot, the device will already be in "Open-Mode". This is called Back-to-Back Closedmode/Openmode flashing. If you follow this style of flashing the device, you will no longer need to delete some folders (.accounts/, ./aegis, and ./activesync) for the device to store passwords correctly. The additional benefits of the Back-to-Back flashing is that you get rid of a lot of unstability in the device caused by some parts still being accessed with closed-mode aegis keys.

'''TIP''': If you want to be rid of the "Scary Warranty Warning", which a device displays when booting in Open Mode you have to remove that '''Before entering open mode'''.

Flash your device with rootfs, omit the parameter "-R" (which means "reboot")

sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -f

or

sudo flasher -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> -F <youremmc.bin> -f

or "Zeroize Method" of flashing, which "wipes" user data and EMMC. Note that this command flashes the eMMC twice and takes many hours to complete the process. You will see a notification/warning of eMMC "unnecessarily being flashed twice") in the Terminal when flashing via this method.

sudo flasher -f -F <yourmainfirmware.bin> --erase-user-data=secure -F <youremmc.bin> --erase-mmc=secure

Next, take care to directly flash the open mode kernel (do NOT boot up, nor pull USB cable, do not wait too long) with

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

==== When Not Starting From A Fresh Flash ====
# Open Terminal on the device.
# Type the following commands and press Enter after typing each command ('''NOTE:''' this will delete all configured Accounts):
disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode
rm -rf /home/user/.accounts/
rm -rf /home/user/.aegis/
rm -rf /home/user/.activesync/

Shut down the device, plug to a USB cable and to a computer, and proceed with flashing the Open-Mode kernel as mentioned above:

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Upon first boot, you may set up your Accounts (email, social media accounts, i.e. Facebook etc.) once again.

'''REMINDERS:'''

# In MS Windows, just omit the word “sudo” from the command.
# In MS Windows, the “zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix” file needs to be in the same location as the Flasher Application, FIASCO, and eMMC images. Usually you would have installed the Flasher Application to C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher.
# For Linux users, usual “best practice” is to save the FIASCO, eMMC, and whatever Kernels at the main directory (/home/yourusername).
# "Device Lock Request" should be disabled when you are using Open-Mode.

== Prepare the Device ==

=== Enable Developer Mode and Installation of non-store sources ===
# Enable “Allow installations from non-store sources (Settings → Applications → Installations).
# Enable “Developer Mode” (Setitngs → Security → Developer mode)...your device will restart. Upon restart, you will now see Terminal being available for use.

=== Install and Prepare Filebox and Filebox Root ===
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb FileCase]
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb N9QTweak]. Upon installation, run N9QTweak and enable “Root FileCase” (as of the latest version, this is under [http://wiki.maemo.org/N9QTweak#Tweak_H:_Enable_ROOT-SSH_Access_.26_Root_Filebox].
# You should now have FileCase Root. Open FileCase Root and navigate to “MyDocs” (usually at first use of FileCase, you are already at “MyDocs”) and create a new folder called “boot” (without the quotes).
# In the “Settings” (the gear icon at the lower-right), enable the following:
#* Show root filesystem
#* Show hidden filesystem

=== Moving files using Filebox Root ===

This section guides you on where to move/copy the files that were downloaded in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Ubiboot&action=submit#Download_Needed_Files Download Needed Files] section above.

Place/move/copy the following files inside the newly-created “boot” folder under “MyDocs”:

ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio

Next is to move the "zImage..." files.

# Go up three (3) levels by pressing the “up” arrow (found at the lower-left of Filebox Root) . You should be at the “root” folder (you can confirm this when you see that the blue banner at the top of Filebox Root shows only a forward-slash “/”).
# Find the “/boot” folder...we are looking for the "/boot" under root directory, '''not the “/home/user/MyDocs/boot” folder (i.e. that we created inside “MyDocs”)''' and go inside that folder.
# Paste the three (or four) "zImage..." files:

zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

'''REVIEW/RECAP:''' These are the locations where the "needed files" are to be moved/pasted/located.

/home/user/MyDocs should contain:
preinits.tar
nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2
apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2
b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz
/home/user/MyDocs/boot should contain:
ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio
/boot should contain:
zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

=== Extract preinits.tar, the NITDroid and the FirefoxOS files ===

'''NOTE:''' Terminal should still be open at this point.

Type the following commands in the Terminal and press Enter after typing each command (NOTE: do not change the order of the commands):

devel-su '''(default password is "rootme", without quotes)'''
mkdir /home/nitdroid '''(creates the “nitdroid” directory under the /home directory)'''
cd /home/user/MyDocs '''(navigates to the directory where the NITDroid image is located)'''
tar -xvf preinits.tar -C / '''(extracts preinits to /sbin directory of the device)'''
tar xjvf nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid '''(extracts the NITDroid image to /home/nitdroid)'''
tar xjvf apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid '''(extracts the Apps2SD fix to /home/nitdroid)'''
mkdir /home/firefox_os '''(creates the “firefox_os” directory under the /home directory)'''
tar xvzf b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz -C /home/firefox_os '''(extracts the FirefoxOS image to /home/firefox_os)'''

== Install Nemo Mobile OS ==

{{ambox|text=Many users reported that this procedure breaks partitions on Nokia N9, mostly in 16GB versions. Better don't proceed, unless you know what you're doing..}}

{{ambox|text=At this point, it is highly recommended that you are using a Linux-based Operating System (Ubuntu will work fine). It is still okay to continue using MS Windows, however in order to use the "maintenance mode" feature of Ubiboot, such as viewing the contents of partitions via a File Manager you will need to install a 3rd party application that allows you to view the contents of Linux-based Filesystems. '''Note that for installing Nemo, this guide focuses on using Linux to ensure conformity of a default, fool-proof procedure of a quadru-boot system with Harmattan, NITDroid, FirefoxOS, and Nemo.'''
}}

In Linux, enter the following commands as per the [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing#Single_Boot_by_Loading_The_Kernel_.28Not_recommended.29 Nemo Wiki Page]:

wget -r -l1 -nd --no-parent -Amoslo-0.*.rpm http://releases.nemomobile.org/snapshots/repos/hw/ti/omap3/n950-n9/latest/armv7hl/armv7hl/
rpm2cpio moslo-*.armv7hl.rpm | cpio -vidu
sudo flasher -k usr/share/moslo/zImage-moslo -n usr/share/moslo/initrd-moslo -l -b

Alternative: for the "wget" command above, you may download the MOSLO directly as I have mentioned in the “[http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Nemo_Files Download Needed Files]” section above. Then you may proceed with the second and third commands.

'''MS Windows users:''' you can install 7-Zip and use that to go inside the '''moslo-0.0.13.2-1.5.Nemo.Adaptation.N9xx.armv7hl.rpm''' file. Keep going one directory deeper until you find two files:

* initrd-moslo
* zImage-moslo

Next, extract those files and place them in the same directory as the Flasher application. Once done, the command will be now modified as follows:

flasher.exe -k zImage-moslo -n initrd-moslo -l -b

[[Image:13060003.jpg|500px|]]

# The Terminal will give you a message that it is waiting for a suitable USB device. Make sure your device is turned off and plug it to your computer via the USB cable. The flashing procedure should finish in a few seconds.
# Keep the device plugged. What happens next is that the N9 is being repartitioned for Nemo (on the device, you will see some green text/writing on the screen; just wait for it to finish) , you'll see the led blinking for 10min or so.
# You will also notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will show a folder named “Alt_OS”. This is the newly-created partition.
# Next, we will extract the Nemo image into the newly-created partition. Enter this command in the Terminal (for Linux only):

sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/

Now, unplug the device from the USB Cable. The screen should tell you to "push Volume Up" to boot into Harmattan, or "push Volume Down" to boot into Nemo.

'''TIPS:'''

# Sometimes, the name of the partition is Alt_OS_, with a single underline/underscores after “S” instead of the default Alt_OS (without underscore). Sometimes it has two (2) underlines/underscores. In my case, it had three (3) underlines/underscores.
# Sometimes, the path of the Alt_OS partition is /media/'''yourusername'''/Alt_OS.
# To be sure, before extracting the Nemo image, you may want to check the correct name by entering the Linux command of “lsblk” (without the quotes).
# As a matter of “best practice” it is recommended to have a File Manager open and navigating to "Alt_OS" during the extraction command to verify that the files are being extracted to the correct location.
# By experience, booting the device at this stage will result to either a reboot loop or the device not turning on at all. Sometimes, upon unplugging of the USB cable as mentioned above and selecting "Volume Down" to boot into Nemo, nothing happens (device is unresponsive and stays black). '''It is highly recommend not to turn on the device until you complete the setup/process from this point onward.'''

== Flash the Device with Ubiboot-02 ==

'''NOTE: for this step, the device should be turned off.'''

Flash the ubiboot-02 Kernel with the command below. Replace <yourmainfirmware.bin> with the filename of your N9 FIASCO image if you have renamed it differently.

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_23032018 --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Once the device reboots, keep the USB cable plugged in to enter “maintenance mode”. You will notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will mount/show all the partitions:

Nokia N9 '''(this is the “MyDocs” directory)'''
rootfs '''(this is the “/” directory or partition of the Nokia N9's Harmattan OS)'''
another partition with a long series of alpha-numeric '''(this is the /home/nitdroid directory/partition)'''
Alt_OS '''(this is the Nemo directory/partition)'''

Double-check that the files we have moved earlier are in their correct places. Once confirmed, you can "eject" all the partitions from your File Manager. Unplug the USB Cable and the device will restart. When it restarts, you should now see the Ubiboot menu.

'''Congratulations, you now have Ubiboot completely set up with a Quatro-Boot configuration of Harmattan, NITDroid, Firefox OS and Nemo!'''

== Known Issues ==

This section attempts to document some user-reported issues and solutions with respect to Ubiboot usage, installation, etc.

=== Charging ===
Ubiboot handles rtc and usb events to boot up device from power off state:

a) to Ubiboot telnet console (when connected to PC USB), device will not be charged.

b) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to charge (when connected to wall charger).

c) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to trigger alarm.

"Case a" works flawlessly.

"Case b" sometimes does not work, but reboots and then starts up Ubiboot console/screen (not charging).

"Case c" needs some precondition. Make sure you have shutdown your device from Harmattan. Otherwise the alarm may not be triggered in NITDroid or will not be triggered in Nemo.

=== Alarm Clocks ===

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1355247&postcount=374
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1355278&postcount=377

The default behavior of the device, particularly with the default OS (Harmattan), is that clock alarms can be triggered even when the device is turned off. The posts above suggest that you need to ensure that the "last OS booted" should be Harmattan prior to turning the device off, because between Harmattan, NITDroid, and Nemo, the alarm clock system behavior of Harmattan is most stable. Based on the above posts linked, alarms of NITDroid and Nemo (when the device is turned off) don't behave as good as Harmattan does.

You should create the boot folder inside MyDocs before copying the ubiboot.conf and ubiboot-02.menus.cpio to the device.

== Prepare the Device ==

=== Enable Developer Mode and Installation of non-store sources ===
# Enable “Allow installations from non-store sources (Settings → Applications → Installations).
# Enable “Developer Mode” (Setitngs → Security → Developer mode)...your device will restart. Upon restart, you will now see Terminal being available for use.

=== Install and Prepare Filebox and Filebox Root ===
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb FileCase]
# Install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb N9QTweak]. Upon installation, run N9QTweak and enable “Root FileCase” (as of the latest version, this is under [http://wiki.maemo.org/N9QTweak#Tweak_H:_Enable_ROOT-SSH_Access_.26_Root_Filebox].
# You should now have FileCase Root. Open FileCase Root and navigate to “MyDocs” (usually at first use of FileCase, you are already at “MyDocs”) and create a new folder called “boot” (without the quotes).
# In the “Settings” (the gear icon at the lower-right), enable the following:
#* Show root filesystem
#* Show hidden filesystem

=== Moving files using Filebox Root ===

This section guides you on where to move/copy the files that were downloaded in the [http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=Ubiboot&action=submit#Download_Needed_Files Download Needed Files] section above.

Place/move/copy the following files inside the newly-created “boot” folder under “MyDocs”:

ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio

Next is to move the "zImage..." files.

# Go up three (3) levels by pressing the “up” arrow (found at the lower-left of Filebox Root) . You should be at the “root” folder (you can confirm this when you see that the blue banner at the top of Filebox Root shows only a forward-slash “/”).
# Find the “/boot” folder...we are looking for the "/boot" under root directory, '''not the “/home/user/MyDocs/boot” folder (i.e. that we created inside “MyDocs”)''' and go inside that folder.
# Paste the three (or four) "zImage..." files:

zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

'''REVIEW/RECAP:''' These are the locations where the "needed files" are to be moved/pasted/located.

/home/user/MyDocs should contain:
preinits.tar
nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2
apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2
b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz
/home/user/MyDocs/boot should contain:
ubiboot.conf
ubiboot-02.menus.cpio
/boot should contain:
zImage_2.6.32.54-openmode_l2fix
zImage.pr13
zImage_e-yes_nitdroid+l2fix
zImage-2.6.32.54-dfl61-20121301 '''(Optional)'''

=== Extract preinits.tar, the NITDroid and the FirefoxOS files ===

'''NOTE:''' Terminal should still be open at this point.

Type the following commands in the Terminal and press Enter after typing each command (NOTE: do not change the order of the commands):

devel-su '''(default password is "rootme", without quotes)'''
mkdir /home/nitdroid '''(creates the “nitdroid” directory under the /home directory)'''
cd /home/user/MyDocs '''(navigates to the directory where the NITDroid image is located)'''
tar -xvf preinits.tar -C / '''(extracts preinits to /sbin directory of the device)'''
tar xjvf nitdroid_n9_jellybean_alpha5.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid '''(extracts the NITDroid image to /home/nitdroid)'''
tar xjvf apps2sd_fix_alpha5.tar.bz2 -C /home/nitdroid '''(extracts the Apps2SD fix to /home/nitdroid)'''
mkdir /home/firefox_os '''(creates the “firefox_os” directory under the /home directory)'''
tar xvzf b2g_n9_droid_hal_fs.tar.gz -C /home/firefox_os '''(extracts the FirefoxOS image to /home/firefox_os)'''

== Install Nemo Mobile OS ==

{{ambox|text=At this point, it is highly recommended that you are using a Linux-based Operating System (Ubuntu will work fine). It is still okay to continue using MS Windows, however in order to use the "maintenance mode" feature of Ubiboot, such as viewing the contents of partitions via a File Manager you will need to install a 3rd party application that allows you to view the contents of Linux-based Filesystems. '''Note that for installing Nemo, this guide focuses on using Linux to ensure conformity of a default, fool-proof procedure of a quadru-boot system with Harmattan, NITDroid, FirefoxOS, and Nemo.'''
}}

In Linux, enter the following commands as per the [https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Nemo/Installing#Single_Boot_by_Loading_The_Kernel_.28Not_recommended.29 Nemo Wiki Page]:

wget -r -l1 -nd --no-parent -Amoslo-0.*.rpm http://releases.nemomobile.org/snapshots/repos/hw/ti/omap3/n950-n9/latest/armv7hl/armv7hl/
rpm2cpio moslo-*.armv7hl.rpm | cpio -vidu
sudo flasher -k usr/share/moslo/zImage-moslo -n usr/share/moslo/initrd-moslo -l -b

Alternative: for the "wget" command above, you may download the MOSLO directly as I have mentioned in the “[http://wiki.maemo.org/Ubiboot#Nemo_Files Download Needed Files]” section above. Then you may proceed with the second and third commands.

'''MS Windows users:''' you can install 7-Zip and use that to go inside the '''moslo-0.0.13.2-1.5.Nemo.Adaptation.N9xx.armv7hl.rpm''' file. Keep going one directory deeper until you find two files:

* initrd-moslo
* zImage-moslo

Next, extract those files and place them in the same directory as the Flasher application. Once done, the command will be now modified as follows:

flasher.exe -k zImage-moslo -n initrd-moslo -l -b

[[Image:13060003.jpg|500px|]]

# The Terminal will give you a message that it is waiting for a suitable USB device. Make sure your device is turned off and plug it to your computer via the USB cable. The flashing procedure should finish in a few seconds.
# Keep the device plugged. What happens next is that the N9 is being repartitioned for Nemo (on the device, you will see some green text/writing on the screen; just wait for it to finish) , you'll see the led blinking for 10min or so.
# You will also notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will show a folder named “Alt_OS”. This is the newly-created partition.
# Next, we will extract the Nemo image into the newly-created partition. Enter this command in the Terminal (for Linux only):

sudo tar --numeric-owner -xf nemo-handset-armv7hl-n950-*.tar.bz2 -C /media/Alt_OS/

Now, unplug the device from the USB Cable. The screen should tell you to "push Volume Up" to boot into Harmattan, or "push Volume Down" to boot into Nemo.

'''TIPS:'''

# Sometimes, the name of the partition is Alt_OS_, with a single underline/underscores after “S” instead of the default Alt_OS (without underscore). Sometimes it has two (2) underlines/underscores. In my case, it had three (3) underlines/underscores.
# Sometimes, the path of the Alt_OS partition is /media/'''yourusername'''/Alt_OS.
# To be sure, before extracting the Nemo image, you may want to check the correct name by entering the Linux command of “lsblk” (without the quotes).
# As a matter of “best practice” it is recommended to have a File Manager open and navigating to "Alt_OS" during the extraction command to verify that the files are being extracted to the correct location.
# By experience, booting the device at this stage will result to either a reboot loop or the device not turning on at all. Sometimes, upon unplugging of the USB cable as mentioned above and selecting "Volume Down" to boot into Nemo, nothing happens (device is unresponsive and stays black). '''It is highly recommend not to turn on the device until you complete the setup/process from this point onward.'''

== Flash the Device with Ubiboot-02 ==

'''NOTE: for this step, the device should be turned off.'''

Flash the ubiboot-02 Kernel with the command below. Replace <yourmainfirmware.bin> with the filename of your N9 FIASCO image if you have renamed it differently.

sudo flasher -a <yourmainfirmware.bin> -k zImage_2.6.32.54-ubiboot-02_23032018 --flash-only=kernel -f -R

Once the device reboots, keep the USB cable plugged in to enter “maintenance mode”. You will notice that the File Manager of your Linux Distribution will open and will mount/show all the partitions:

Nokia N9 '''(this is the “MyDocs” directory)'''
rootfs '''(this is the “/” directory or partition of the Nokia N9's Harmattan OS)'''
another partition with a long series of alpha-numeric '''(this is the /home/nitdroid directory/partition)'''
Alt_OS '''(this is the Nemo directory/partition)'''

Double-check that the files we have moved earlier are in their correct places. Once confirmed, you can "eject" all the partitions from your File Manager. Unplug the USB Cable and the device will restart. When it restarts, you should now see the Ubiboot menu.

'''Congratulations, you now have Ubiboot completely set up with a Quatro-Boot configuration of Harmattan, NITDroid, Firefox OS and Nemo!'''

== Known Issues ==

This section attempts to document some user-reported issues and solutions with respect to Ubiboot usage, installation, etc.

=== Charging ===
Ubiboot handles rtc and usb events to boot up device from power off state:

a) to Ubiboot telnet console (when connected to PC USB), device will not be charged.

b) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to charge (when connected to wall charger).

c) to configured default kernel (harmattan) to trigger alarm.

"Case a" works flawlessly.

"Case b" sometimes does not work, but reboots and then starts up Ubiboot console/screen (not charging).

"Case c" needs some precondition. Make sure you have shutdown your device from Harmattan. Otherwise the alarm may not be triggered in NITDroid or will not be triggered in Nemo.

=== Alarm Clocks ===

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1355247&postcount=374
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1355278&postcount=377

The default behavior of the device, particularly with the default OS (Harmattan), is that clock alarms can be triggered even when the device is turned off. The posts above suggest that you need to ensure that the "last OS booted" should be Harmattan prior to turning the device off, because between Harmattan, NITDroid, and Nemo, the alarm clock system behavior of Harmattan is most stable. Based on the above posts linked, alarms of NITDroid and Nemo (when the device is turned off) don't behave as good as Harmattan does.

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 18:19:14 GMT

smartblu9: /* Apps */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Notes (with synchronization) ===
'''Working'''

Here are 2 possible solutions.

* If you assume a "Note" is a "Calendar Task", create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your Notes as Tasks through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 18:04:46 GMT

smartblu9: /* To Do List with synchronization */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== To Do List with synchronization ===
'''Either through Calendar "stock" app or third-party solution'''

Only two solution AFAIK in 2023 here.

* If you assume a Note is a Calendar Task, create an memotoo.com account (see Calendar section). Then manage your notes as Task through the Calendar "stock" app.
* Otherwise, use Notekeeper. Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account. Step by step procedure:
** First, create a personal EverNote account.
** Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.
** Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 17:56:36 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar events/contacts/tasks solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1 . Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync).
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 as well. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Only events are synchronized however (no tasks sync). Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc.
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:

=== To Do List with synchronization ===
'''No "stock" app, third-party solution required '''

Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account.

First, create a personal EverNote account.

Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.

Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 17:39:45 GMT

smartblu9: /* To Do List with synchronization */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== To Do List with synchronization ===
'''No "stock" app, third-party solution required '''

Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNote account.

First, create a personal EverNote account.

Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.

Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "for one year" and enjoy !

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== To Do List with synchronization ===
'''No "stock" app, commercial solution required '''

Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage your personal notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNotes account.

First, create a personal EverNote account.

Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepos.net) on your n9.

Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "ofr one year" and enjoy.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 15:40:45 GMT

smartblu9: /* Apps */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].

* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== To Do List with synchronization ===
'''No "stock" app, commercial solution required '''

Notekeeper 2.1.1 enables you to manage notes and synchronize them with a personal EverNotes account.

First, create a personal EverNote account.

Second, install notekeeper 2.1.1 (see openrepose.net) on your n9.

Third, run it on your n9 and login with your evernote email. After validating your password, you get a blank page. Go back (left arrow) and you get a "authorize device" page. Select "ofr one year" and enjoy.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 15:26:46 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sun, 05 Mar 2023 15:24:33 GMT

smartblu9: /* AccuWeather */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

* AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko works for some. Not fully functional. Available here : [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
* MeeCast is fully functional and well integrated with Harmattan (widget on lockscreen and events view). Use OpenWeatherMaps as source.
* Gismeteo is fully functional and uses MSN as source. However it does not provide widgets.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :

* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555

* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Sat, 04 Mar 2023 11:12:53 GMT

smartblu9: /* Facebook */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

** AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko: [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
** MeeCast (well integrated with Harmattan: widget on lockscreen, events view and more; OpenWeatherMaps source works): [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast v1.1.33.deb]
** Gismeteo (MSN as source): [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo v1.0.0.deb]

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

Facebook has deprecated XMPP support so it does not work anymore.

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Tue, 28 Feb 2023 18:39:27 GMT

smartblu9: /* Web */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel, group and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram groups for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/linuxmobile_world

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository

But, there is also APT repo way!
Just install [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/WunderW%20Repository%20Installer%20v0.0.4.deb Repo Installer].
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
These file managers are directly downloadable and installable on N9:
* FileCase (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FileCase%20v0.2.0.deb)
* myExplorer (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/myExplorer%20v2.3.1.deb)
* FileBox (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Filebox%20v0.1.0.deb)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/FilesPlus%20v1.3.1.deb).
* QAD File Manager (http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/QAD%20File%20Manager%20v1.1.16.deb)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** Download it on N9 from here: http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/N9%20QTweak%20v9.8.8.deb
** Click downloaded file to install

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Works with fix, and two other weather apps are available'''

** AccuWeather with fix by Max Bondarchenko: [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather%20v1.0.19%2B0m8.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/AccuWeather v1.0.19+0m8.deb ]
** MeeCast (well integrated with Harmattan: widget on lockscreen, events view and more; OpenWeatherMaps source works): [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast%20v1.1.33.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/MeeCast v1.1.33.deb]
** Gismeteo (MSN as source): [http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo%20v1.0.0.deb http://wunderwungiel.pl/MeeGo/Repository/Applications/Gismeteo v1.0.0.deb]

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on the openrepos.net site.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Wed, 19 Oct 2022 15:09:15 GMT

smartblu9: /* Messages (SMS and IM) */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. After installation, you have to activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input. And don't forget to enable Harmoji keyboards through N9QTweak : Letter D then option 7 then 1 then reboot.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 19:48:38 GMT

smartblu9: /* Google Hangouts */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Not Working anymore '''

Google deprecated Hang-Outs by 2022. It's DEAD.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Fri, 14 Oct 2022 19:46:44 GMT

smartblu9: /* Cloud */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no freshly installed file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

If your FilesPlus app was installed and configured to connect Google Drive BEFORE 2022, it will continue to do so in 2022 (!). The (permanent?) Token is located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 13:59:43 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com provides good alternative: it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com works well with the CalDAV agent of our Nokia N9 (!). The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 12:53:24 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide good alternatives: they provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com. For mailo.com, Domain is : \your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com, server is : sync.mail.com . Personly, I prefer Mailo.com because it does not requires a monthly renewal of the "free" account.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 12:52:00 GMT

smartblu9: /* Contacts */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide good alternatives: they provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection.
For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.
For mailo.com, Domain is : \your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com, server is : sync.mail.com

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===

'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo/midlets/ his site].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM).

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Wed, 12 Oct 2022 12:50:37 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Channel and repo with apps & games ===

[https://t.me/wunderwungiel Wunder Wungiel] created Telegram channel for Maemo and MeeGo, where he uploads apps & games and other stuff:

https://t.me/maemomeegoapps

To access repository via "user-friendly" way:

[http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/repo directly, on his site] - downloadable on N9! Only apps & MIDlets curently

[https://mega.nz/folder/gihHHQpJ#19J8gL4gIA0zXC7fo8Xkeg on MEGA.nz]

But, there is also APT repo way!
Add via "''echo "deb http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/apt-repo stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/channel.list''" on Terminal, then update with ''aegis-apt-get update''.
This will allow you to browse repository via [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/65 MeeCatalog] app and install apps via [https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 Aegis-apt-get].

Finally, you can subscribe to [http://rsshub.app/telegram/channel/maemomeegoapps RSS of the channel] and get new posts on N9 directly.

=== MIDlets ===

It is possible to run Java ME apps (MIDlets) on Nokia N9 using [https://openrepos.net/content/themedji/phoneme-java-vm phoneME].
Wunder Wungiel packed some MIDlets into comfortably to install DEBs.

Full table:

http://wunderwungiel.ct8.pl/meego/#midlets

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# Fortunately Memotoo.com AND Mailo.com provide good alternatives: they provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection.
For memotoo, Domain is : memotoo.com, server is : exchange.memotoo.com.
For mailo.com, Domain is : \your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com, server is : sync.mail.com

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-at-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini or https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/opera-mini-russian for Russian version.

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Fri, 01 Jul 2022 08:06:02 GMT

smartblu9: /* Messages (SMS and IM) */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped. Harmoji adds extra keyboards. You can activate them through Settings / Time and dates / Text input.

If you send SMS, the recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Otherwise you can install the 0.7.3 version, it provides more extra keyboards.
Important : Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/167 his Telegram channel].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:20:28 GMT

smartblu9: /* Apps */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO

You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/167 his Telegram channel].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:20:01 GMT

smartblu9: /* Apps */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can also install this (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/167 his Telegram channel].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:17:20 GMT

smartblu9: /* Files Managers */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 15:14:22 GMT

smartblu9: /* Warehouse */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Files Managers ===
Available files managers are :
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
Download them, transfer them by Bluetooth, install them by touching them in the notification pane of your N9 once the transfer is done.
If installation fails, see Apps section (below) that explains how to install manually (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Tue, 28 Jun 2022 20:09:14 GMT

smartblu9: /* Radio (internet) */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth or USB to your N9.

=== Files Managers ===
Available files managers are :
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
Download them, transfer them by Bluetooth, install them by touching them in the notification pane of your N9 once the transfer is done.
If installation fails, see Apps section (below) that explains how to install manually (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/167 his Telegram channel].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.

BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install Internet Radio Player or MeeRadio.
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user (no space in its name).
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/167 his Telegram channel].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 08:26:02 GMT

smartblu9: /* Contacts */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth or USB to your N9.

=== Files Managers ===
Available files managers are :
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
Download them, transfer them by Bluetooth, install them by touching them in the notification pane of your N9 once the transfer is done.
If installation fails, see Apps section (below) that explains how to install manually (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 07:12:33 GMT

smartblu9: /* Contacts */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth or USB to your N9.

=== Files Managers ===
Available files managers are :
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
Download them, transfer them by Bluetooth, install them by touching them in the notification pane of your N9 once the transfer is done.
If installation fails, see Apps section (below) that explains how to install manually (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : syncevolution fails to work with current CardDAV solutions. KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

smartblu9 — Mon, 20 Jun 2022 07:12:05 GMT

smartblu9: /* Calendar */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth or USB to your N9.

=== Files Managers ===
Available files managers are :
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
Download them, transfer them by Bluetooth, install them by touching them in the notification pane of your N9 once the transfer is done.
If installation fails, see Apps section (below) that explains how to install manually (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : syncevolution fails to work with current CardDAV solutions. KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji
