[MeeGo Harmattan] Do you miss an application or Feature on the N9? Look at this !

Are you missing an app in your Nokia N9? Or a functionality that an installable app could cover? two threads (here and here) have been opened by qgil as an attempt to highlight applications that are missing in the Nokia Store, in order to bring the attention of developers of those apps or alternatives.

Template

Use the following example to add apps or comments:
App linked to store - Shortest description.
Why you miss this app. Is it for a feature that other apps could provide? Is it a specific brand or service you are after?
Other people is encouraged to add more arguments.

If the app is not available in the Nokia Store you can link it to another catalog e.g. Windows Phone marketplace.

Hope my prayers for Nokia play to, shazam and whatsapp may be answered :)

[MeeGo Harmattan] The beginning of the end for the N9 : Harmattan Bugzilla Closed for New Bugs !

N9 Developer states the following :

In November 2011, we opened a public Bugzilla to interact with the N9 user community and receive end user bug reports and enhancement requests. To this date, we have received over 1100 bug reports. We thank you for the active contribution.

At this point of the product lifecycle, we have identified the major issues to be addressed in the upcoming software updates beyond the PR1.2 release. While we will continue to address issues already reported, we are unable to accept any new requests in Bugzilla.

The Harmattan Bugzilla will remain as read only for some time. However, we will continue to process the bug reports already in Bugzilla.

We kindly request you to continue further Harmattan developer discussions, bugs and other topics under developer.nokia.com. We hope to receive your continued support and help us further improve the quality of N9 software.

In a word ! DAMN !

* A and B have automatic refresh and H and I have automatic reboot and if you want to use more tweaks in the same session, just put this letters at the end. Don't use A , B , H and I together.. For example, you want to install A , C , F and D - just put the A at the end: C F D A [hit Enter]

Uninstall:
* To uninstall my application, do this by usual way, go to: Settings -> Applications -> Manage applications. Choose N9-QTweak and uninstall it. Another way – long press on N9 QTweak icon on the app homescreen.

  • If you uninstall this app it will leave the Backup files in MyDocs (/home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakBackup) and if for some reason you forgotten to restore your tweaks before uninstalling, you can do this manually or only one time by running the one simple command as ROOT: sh /home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakBackup/RESTORE . This command:

    1. restore your tweaks to default (except the new IM’s)
    2. Delete this folder (.N9QTweakBackup) from your phone
    3. Refresh your home and lockscreens
  • To update to new version, just install new .deb file.
Enjoy :D
