Re: Pebble Bluetooth Watch App for N900 or N9?

Has anybody gotten any further with connecting the Pebble to the N900? I am stuck using my Nexus phone just because I love the Pebble! I'd rather use my N900...

Re: [Announce] Autoconf 2.67 for Fremantle

Yes, I got that! :D

I was simply surprised that apt-get wanted to remove so many packages just from adding one more repository to the list.

Thanks for the explanation.

Re: [Announce] Autoconf 2.67 for Fremantle

Thanks! That seems to be it.

However, there's something very strange in my system if I try apt-get update and then apt-get install autoconf2.67. The system says I need to remove 631 packages! ...

Re: [Announce] Autoconf 2.67 for Fremantle

Thanks. Would you please tell me where the sdk repo might be? I cannot seem to find a pointer to it by searching on this forum. I can find the SDK itself but I don't want that.

Re: [Announce] Autoconf 2.67 for Fremantle

I am trying to install bbdb (version 3) on my N900. However, this needs autoconf. When I try to install either 2.67 or the obsolete 2.64 version, I get the error

Re: Due for upgrade. Where to from N9??

I went to a Nexus 4 a few months ago. Lovely phone. It doesn't have any extras on top of Android so is nice and clean and Google seem to provide updates regularly. I'm also on a SIM only contract...

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

I am curious to know your experiences with FirefoxOS. Does it feel as open as the N900? I know that there is no real comparison in terms of hardware between the Keon and the N900, of course.

Re: How many of you still use N900 as main phone?

Well, I'm back (yet again) to using my N900 as my main phone.

Re: Roxterm: Another terminal emulator.

On a different note, I switched to roxterm from osso-xterm primarily because it takes up less screen space (the line with "Tab Esc ..." that osso-xterm displays). On the N810, there is still the...

Using screen in xterm/roxterm

Hi,

I use my tablet in text mode (via osso-xterm or roxterm). My preferred working environment in Emacs and that works just fine. However, I do like using 'screen' to have multiple shells etc...
