Hartmattan porting plans

ModRana is a flexible GPS navigation system and Mieru is a flexible manga and comic book reader. Both application are currently available for maemo from the Extras-devel repository.

My aim is to port both of them to Hartmattan.

unsorted development notes

rsync & run your projects on the device using a shell script

Combined progress

• community OBS account registered
  • my generic Harmattan OBS subproject
  • the GTK porting subproject
• Harmattan SDK installed
• learning QML and OBS
• gathering information

MeeGo and Harmattan development resources

Check out my list of Harmattan & Python & QML & OBS development resources. :)

MeeGo

• MeeGo UX components

how to add a new OBS package

1. osc meta pkg -e home:MartinK:harmattan libportaudio2
2. fill in the template
3. osc up
4. dump files to the new folder (like *.tar + *.dsc from Debian :) )
5. do osc add * inside the folder to add all files under OBS management
6. trigger rebuild: osc rebuildpac home:MartinK:harmattan libportaudio2
7. check out what went wrong with: osc results or osc buildlog from inside the package directory

Mieru

The Mieru port to Harmattan has been finished. Actually, I'm now working in reverse - porting the new Qt Components GUI to work back in Fremantle. It is just that much faster and more usable. :D

• separate Core and GUI code - DONE
• write a QML GUI - DONE
  • page image in a flickable
  • paging works
  • on demand per page, in memory (no need for temporary files) works :)
  • fullscreen toggle works, fullscreen toggle button added
  • automatic GUI rotation on N950 works
  • basically everything that was in the old Mieru GUI now works, but better :)
• check availability of dependencies (and port them if necessary) - DONE
  • ZIP and libmagic are available on Harmattan out of box
  • RAR - done
  • TAR should work too
• get somewhere/implement a proper file open dialog - DONE
  • maybe http://wiki.meego.com/QML/FileSelector ? - yep, used this one, it's really nice :)

modRana

ModRana GUI description.

• check dependencies
  • espeak
  • simplejson, cElement tree, Cairo
• evaluate using current GUI vs writting a QML one
• write a N9/950 device module that supports all relevant hw
• GPS vs magnetic bearing
• multitouch gestures
• got modRana working on N950 ! :)
  • modRana and dependencies can be installed from my GTK porting subproject
  • modRana starts in about 1.4 s
  • the GUI feels snappy
  • fullscreen toggle works
  • Internet connectivity works
  • no GPS fix yet, needs Qt Mobility support (and some Aegis token ?)
  • text entry dialogue does not trigger virtual keyboard, hw keyboard works, it also looks ugly ;-)
