Nemo Mobile

Nemo Mobile is a Linux distribution for mobile devices. Nemo uses Mer as core and the UX is based on MeeGo Handset UX. Nemo Mobile -project continues the work started at MeeGo Community Edition to create open community driven OS and apps. Currently initial Nemo port exists for Nokia N900 and N950 devices. Work is on-going to support Nokia N9. There is also some support for x86 based tablets/netbooks like ExoPC.

Nemo 11-03.1

Missing/Broken

• N950: zypper unable to install libdeclarative-location-1.2.0-1.2.armv7hl.rpm. Error: Public key is unavailable.
• ALL: System UI includes profile-icon in menu. Shouldn't as profiles are not supported.
• ALL: Volume keys do not work
• N950: Small graphical issues. Sometimes not seeing indicator icons in System UI, just seeing turquoise rectangles instead. Also sometimes in widgetsgallery the menubar is turquoise after orientation change.
• N950: holding a finger down appears to make mce go wild, and take ~17% CPU
• N950: I've seen meegotouch-home go crazy and use ~50% CPU. OTOH, I use lipstick, so not a major problem for me now.
• ALL: Camera does not work. After manually installing missing dependency app starts but no viewfinder picture.
• N950: Trying to update meego-handset-camera with zypper fails: libdeclarative-multimedia-1.2.0-1.2.armv7hl.rpm Public key is unavailable
• N950: Trying to update meego-pinquery with zypper fails: "libdeclarative-sensors-1.2.0-1.2.armv7hl.rpm Public key is unavailable"
• ALL: Camera-app does not start - FIXED: Missing dependency.
• ALL: Brigthness control panel does not affect brightness of device
• N950: Desktop width is wrong (looks like 800pix wide). This is because gconf has N900 as value instead of N950 for /meegotouch/target/name
• N950: sometimes VKB and HW keyboard broken
• ALL: Pin-query app does not work (does not draw UI, just black screen). This is because QtMobility.sensors is missing. - FIXED: missing dependency.
• ALL: System UI menu opens too much down (there is gap between the menu and status bar)
• ALL: WiFi works but indicator is broken
• ALL: Lots of red icons in home screen (this is missing themes - only base installed. (put at least n900de to the image)
• ALL: Missing apps: Dialer, SMS, People, Fennec, Peregrine, Calendar, Photos
• ia32:ExoPC boot messages obscure splash screen
• ia32:ExoPC Charger not started. Replace Charger message when power connected
• iaa2:ExoPC Toggle Icon view a few times and screen blanks, can get VT2 access. Seen on previous ia32 builds of CE log files below :- I'm wondering if we need to use Pinetrail kernel on Exopc - Tried it same issue - I'll try and get some debug info
