Using the N900 in 2023
 

Which applications are still good and usable on the N900 in 2023?

Is there a way to get Telegram running? Is there a good maps application? Is there a working way of getting weather forecasts?

What kind of changes are helpful for still getting the most out of the device?

Is it actually recommended nowadays to use CSSU-testing and Extras-testing?

Re: Using the N900 in 2023
 

CSSU testing yes. But are you gonna use it now for calls also? If not, try Leste.

Re: Using the N900 in 2023
 

Is Leste really that good already? If it is really only about calls, I think they will introduce their call ui with chimeara which is supposed to be released this month.

Not that good actually. Just installed yesterday. If it is the latest I get the feeling it is much slower than previous images. So still some work.

Re: Using the N900 in 2023
 

Yeah, I just tried it as well. I remember it being smoother earlier too.

Can I switch to CSSU devel by just enabling the repo in HAM or is there something I have to be aware of for switching from stable to devel?

Re: Using the N900 in 2023
 

With devel do not do apt upgrade. On the forum there is my thread devel upgrades. Check it. And if I recall right when you enable the devel repo you will get to application manager the cssu devel as a choice to install on the apps list.

If Pinephone + keyboard will reach one day a stable Leste version i will surely make it my daily driver. N900 still is an amazing and beatiful device but is becoming limited each year
