Resurrect your N9

2022-06-30T20:12:28Z

176.132.107.209: /* Enable automatic network connection */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3, PR 1.3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[Ubiboot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse was a package browser for OpenRepos. It allowed you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. As Warehouse uses an expired certificate - DST Root CA X3 (since the 29th of September 2021), it does not work anymore today. The workaround is to download the .DEB files of wanted applications from https://openrepos.net/ and to transfer them through Bluetooth. Once transferred, run the installation on your n9 from the "Transfers" notification view (by a simple touch on the filename in this pane).

=== Files Managers ===
Two files managers are directly installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FileCase (https://openrepos.net/content/cepiperez/filecase)
* myExplorer (https://openrepos.net/content/itsenov/myexplorer)
Two other files managers are NOT installable after being transfered through Bluetooth:
* FilesPlus (https://openrepos.net/content/zaidk9/filesplus).
* QAD File Manager (https://openrepos.net/content/enigma/qad-file-manager-free)
See the "Apps" section (below) for it explains how to install them (with Terminal and command line "sudo aegis-dpkg ..." ).

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install '''N9RepoMirror''' first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your WiFi/your network
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer Mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts, e.g. via ''nano''. Add one line to redefine the IP to point for connectivity-test.ext.nokia.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer easily installable because some certificates are too old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution:

* Pre-requisites: developer mode must be activated!
* Install Aegis-install hack from CODeRUS: https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=90750 . N9-QTweakall can install it (EE option).
* Download the needed .deb file from openrepos.net and transfer it to your N9, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run Terminal and run :
''sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb''
(default password of root is rootme)

Edit 1 : I recommand you to use openssh. It enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC to your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run easily any command you need. User is user. Password is rootme. User's password is modifiable through n9qtweak.

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast and Gismeteo are good replacements.'''

Meecast is well integrated in Harmattan (widget in lock screen, event view and standby screen). It's available on https://openrepos.net. It still works in 2022 with the Openweathermap.org source.

Gismeteo uses MSN as source. It's available on https://openrepos.net as well and still works in 2022.

=== Calendar ===
''' Partially Working '''

Synchronization is not trivial in 2022. As main providers have stopped support, we must search for more confidential providers that still support Harmattan or EAS :

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seem to be OFF. KO.
# A long time ago, Google supported EAS but stopped to do so by 2013. KO.
# But memotoo.com still provides today a quite good alternative : it provides a calendar/tasks/contacts solution accessible through an EAS connection. Create an account, connect and search for "harmattan" in the Sync section for instructions. Really easy. Domain is memotoo.com, server is exchange.memotoo.com.

* CalDAV protocol :

# Google abandons CalDAV by 2013. KO.
# NextCloud CalDAV (Zaclys, Framagenda...) is not compliant with N9 CalDav agent (logins fail). KO.
# Orange CalDAV (Sabre server) is half compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent (only upload works, not download). KO.
# Mailo.com provides mailing, calendar, contacts and files management (DAV) capabilities. It provides many integration possibilities through many protocols including CalDAV and this one is compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. The CalDAV settings for your beloved n9 is : https://caldav.mailo.com/calendar/your-mail-account-in-mailo@mailo.com/1
# Fruux CalDAV (Sabre server) is 100% compliant with the N9 CalDAV agent. Fruux supports N9 and Sailfish through dedicated bridges. Step by step procedure :
## Register a Fruux account. Wait the validation mail...etc
## Connect to Fruux and go here : https://fruux.com/sync/new/
## Scroll down and click on "Nokia N9 Calendar"
## Give a nickname of your N9, click Next.
## Now, copy given IDs (user, pwd, url) in a safe place and send them to your N9. Save
## Back to your N9, add a new CalDAv Account and use the IDs.
## Everything works so far (sync in both ways).
PS : For Android devices, it's easier : Fruux provides a CalDAv Synchronization Agent (see here https://apkpure.com/fr/fruux/com.fruux.android ). Run it and log in with your regular Fruux Account (sandwich menu : options). By this way, we can share Cal Events between the N9 and Android devices.

=== Contacts ===
''' Partially Working'''

* EAS (Exchange Active Sync) protocol :

# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) stopped to work by March 2022. The office365.com domain or eas.outlook.com server seems OFF now. KO
# but memotoo.com still provides a Contact sync support through an EAS connection. See Calendar section just above.

* CardDAV protocol : no plugin for such integration :-( KO.

* Google :

# see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html
# Warning 1 : I was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f* install". I guess we have to download them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/
# Warning 2 : Google stops the "Less Secure Apps" option by May 2022.

=== Cloud ===
''' No one is accessible from a "fresh" N9 but ... '''

In 2022, no file manager is still able to connect to any Clouds.

In 2021, FilesPlus was still able to connect Google Drive. The Token was located in /home/user/.filesplus/GCDClient.dat file. It's a Hexa file with ASCII characters. Perhaps hackable ?

If you plan to RESET your N9, copy this file in a SAFE location. You will need to restore it after the reset.

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore HOWEVER...'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

... HOWEVER, you can browse the Mobile Basic version of Facebook on any browser. Just visit https://mbasic.facebook.com on e.g. default N9's browser and enjoy.

=== Google Hangouts ===
''' Working for text messages '''

* Install the Hangouts Plugin ([https://openrepos.net/content/hamedrepublic/hangouts-messenger OpenRepos])
* Then run the account manager and add your Hangouts account here.
* That's all. You can send and receive text message to/from Google chat !
* Notifications work!

Hurry up to create this account on your N9. Google announced the end of the Less Secure Apps option by May 2022.

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

* Exchange Account:
# Microsoft Outlook Exchange Active Sync (EAS) is OFF since March 2022. The domain office365.com or server eas.outlook.com seems to be OFF. KO.
# And unfortunately memotoo.com do NOT provides a solution for mails. KO.

* Gmail: see IMAP & SMTP section just below.

* IMAP & SMTP: pure mail accounts work well as long as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings. Here are few examples:
# Outlook Mail Accounts work well with imap-mail.outlook.com (SSL,993) and smtp-mail.outlook.com (TLS,587) servers
# Gmail Accounts should work if you follow this procedure : [https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229?hl=en#zippy=%2Cstep-check-that-imap-is-turned-on%2Cstep-change-smtp-other-settings-in-your-email-client]

=== Maps ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI servers are down, you have to download maps from http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html or from http://maps.tienda-sistore.com/

The nokiamaps.ct8.pl site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

The tienda-sistore site is officially a symbian site. Actually resources about maps are totally identical and compatible.

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to /cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIs :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Messages (SMS and IM) ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP works.

For Google chat, see hang-out section just above.

Jabber is an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server!

As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers, conferences(multi users chat) and users by yourself.... See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for servers. And see https://search.jabber.network for most attended conferences.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for fetching more easily available resources.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP account (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install InternetRadioPlayer or MeeRadio or CuteRadio
*For MeeRadio, follow these steps :
**Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
**Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user/MyDocs or /home/user/private
**Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
**You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with N9QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

* MeeGram ([https://github.com/qtinsider/meegram2/releases Releases]) - new Telegram client for MeeGo. Based on Qt, is really comfortable and cute. Under development.
* Kutegram ([https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/kutegram Releases]) - native Telegram client based on Qt for many platforms, like Symbian, MeeGo and Maemo. Under development. Actually, it has ugly interface and lack of any functions.
* Telegram-cli ([https://openrepos.net/content/halftux/telegram-cli-lua OpenRepos]) - a CLI interface for Telegram. Supports sending photos, files, groups, and many more. Wunder Wungiel created icon and launcher for it, download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/telegram-cli-icon OpenRepos]
* MeeTeleGram ([https://openrepos.net/content/hedayat/notready-meetelegram OpenRepos])- Telegram client, with ugly interface and lack of any functions.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

Here is the HTML5 score (from best to worst) according to html5test.com :
* MeeFox 1.0.5 : 360/555
* QmlMozBrowser : 351/555
* Opera Mobile 12.1 : 218/555
* N9 Grob : 205/555
* Opera Mini 8 : 145/555
* Firefox 15.0 : unable to perform the test (can't visit https://html5test.com)

N9 grob seems to be the quickest.

Meefox and QmlMozBrowser are slow, plus they seems not compliant (install only 1 among them).

Opera Mini 8 gets a bad HTML5 score, however it can manage the SSL security mechanisms and can download files (i.e from openrepos.net...).

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your N9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You can find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/content/smartblu9/opera-mini-80-harmattan

Otherwise, try to find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play YouTube videos.

You can use http://iteroni.com on default N9's browser. It works really well, direct watching works.

New - on June 2022 Wunder Wungiel released full version of JTube for N9 / N900, that supports now up to 720p. Downloads faster, supports more functions. Still only download is supported, no direct watching!
phoneME required.
Download here: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube OpenRepos] or [https://t.me/maemomeegoapps/167 his Telegram channel].

JTube Lite is a solution provided by Wunder Wungiel on Telegram by first of April 2022. It's a Java MIDlet that requires phoneME (Java VM). Go to the "Maemo/MeeGo World" Telegram group (https://t.me/maemomeego) for explanation and resources. You can search and download the YouTube videos (.3gp format). The Video Player of Harmattan can play them.
You can download JTube Lite in these places: [https://openrepos.net/content/wunderwungiel/jtube-lite OpenRepos] , [https://t.me/maemomeego Telegram group (search for JTube)]

Resurrect your N9

2021-09-19T20:50:58Z

176.132.107.209: /* Nokia Store and Repositories */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[UbiBoot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Another way to get the RepoMirror on the N9 is to copy the download link on OpenRepos (by right-clicking on the .deb file then copy the link), then use a link shortener service, and type the shortened link by hand on the device's browser. It should be downloaded and you can install the file.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse is a package browser for OpenRepos. It allows you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. It can be downloaded from OpenRepos [https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse here].

=== Certificates ===
With time, more and more of Root Certificates are obsolete.

For improving this, you may install aegis-certman-common-ca_1.0.8+0m9_all.deb created by Halftux. He created this with the pem files from latest maemo5 certs (cssu-devel).

See here for instructions : https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1562329&postcount=94

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install RepoMirror first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your wifi
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites : developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT: there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts. Add one line the redefines the server to point to connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

Most of them are no longer installable because certificates are TOO old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution :

* Pre-requisites : developer mode must be activated, N9 QTweak must be installed as well as Aegis. You may check that Aegis is installed by running "sudo aegis-dpkg -h" (from Terminal). For installing Aegis, just launch N9 QTWeak, option EE and option 2 (INSTALL Coderus Aegis-Install). Answer the questions and wait...
* Download the .deb file from openrepos on your PC then copy them into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run the Terminal and run aegis-dpkg
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb

Edit : furthermore I recommand you to activate the ROOT-SSH mode, it enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC onto your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run any command you need. User: user , password : user's password (default is rootme )

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast is a good replacement'''

MeeCast is a good replacement. The MeeCast widget can replace AccuWeather on the events screen, as well as the lock and standby screens. (Install the widget via MeeCast's Settings/Appearance menu.)

=== Calendar ===
'''Partially Working '''

Almost everyone abandon CalDAV. Fortunately Mail for Exchange option works very well with simple basic outlook accounts (!). The trick is to define the domain at office365.com , server at eas.outlook.com and port at 443 (see mail section). It provides Calendar and Contacts synchronization.

I didn't find other tricks for other cal providers.

=== Contacts ===
'''Partially Working'''

Microsoft Exchange : works with a simple Outlook account, see Calendar section about synchronization with Ms Exchange.

Google: see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html

* Warning : developer says : DO NOT USE syncgcontacts IF YOU HAVE ALREADY AN Microsoft Exchange Account.

* Warning : i was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f install". I guess we have to downloads them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/

=== Cloud ===
'''Only Google Drive is accessible through FilePlus '''

In 2021, no file manager are still able to connect to closed Clouds (SkyDrive-OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive ) as well as to WebDav resource (NextCloud...) . Basically SSL handshakes fail.

The only exception is FilePlus that can still connect to the Google Drive (and fetch the files... of course).

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

=== Hangouts ===
''' Working in a very limited way and furthermore you have to decrease the security level of your Google account'''

* Install from openrepos the hangouts plugins.
* Then run the account manager and add your hangout account here.
* That's all. You can chat through the native message app but in a very limited way (only text and no auto discovery of contacts that use Hang Outs !)

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

My basic outlook account works well with the "Mail for Exchange" account type. The trick is to define the domain at office365.com , server at eas.outlook.com and port at 443 (see mail section). It provides Calendar and Contacts synchronization as well.

Gmail accounts seems unreachable since recent security "enhancements".

Others pure mail accounts seem to work well as soon as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings.

=== MAPS ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI server are down, you have to download maps here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html

But this site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIS :'''

Go here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Message ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP is usable and works well. It's an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server !
As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers by yourself... Here are few ones I found: jabber.hot-chilli.net, muc.xmpp.org, jabberix.com. See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for others.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for discovering multi user chats provided by these servers.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP accounts (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
''' Working '''

Install gPodder or PodCatcher.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional libraries (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
''' Working '''

*Install MeeRadio.
*Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
*Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user (no space in its name).
*Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
*You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
''' Working WITH handset '''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
''' Not Working anymore (SSL handshake fails)'''

Quickddit provided most of basic functionalities and connection to your Reddit account. Unfortunately, SSL handshake fails now, so nothing works.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

Telegram-cli still works but it's very limited and works in command line (only text msg is possible ina one to one way).

MeeTelegram is a BETA version, it works well but in a very very limited way as well.

A new alternative arrived in 2021 : meegram2. In Beta but promising. Source code is on GitHub.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

The java midlet Opera Mini 8.0 is a partial workaround.

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your n9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You may find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/

Without Opera Mini, you must find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not Working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially Working '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play Youtube videos.
Luckily, Meefox 1.0.5 still works. It lags but it works !

[[Category:N9]]

Resurrect your N9

2021-09-19T20:50:28Z

176.132.107.209: /* Nokia Store and Repositories */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[UbiBoot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Another way to get the RepoMirror on the N9 is to copy the download link on OpenRepos (by right-clicking on the .deb file then copy the link), then use a link shortener service, and type the shortened link by hand on the device's browser. It should be downloaded and you can install the file.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse is a package browser for OpenRepos. It allows you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. It can be downloaded from OpenRepos [https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse here].

=== Certificates ===
With time, more and more of Root Certificates are obsolete.

For improving this, you may install aegis-certman-common-ca_1.0.8+0m9_all.deb created by Halftux. He created this with the pem files from latest maemo5 certs (cssu-devel).

See here for instructions : https://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1562329&postcount=94

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install RepoMirror first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your wifi
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites : developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT: there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts. Add one line the redefines the server to point to connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Most of them are no longer installable because certificates are TOO old (the install process fails because of that). However here is a solution :

* Pre-requisites : developer mode must be activated, N9 QTweak must be installed as well as Aegis. You may check that Aegis is installed by running "sudo aegis-dpkg -h" (from Terminal). For installing Aegis, just launch N9 QTWeak, option EE and option 2 (INSTALL Coderus Aegis-Install). Answer the questions and wait...
* Download the .deb file from openrepos on your PC then copy them into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run the Terminal and run aegis-dpkg
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb

Edit : furthermore I recommand you to activate the ROOT-SSH mode, it enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC onto your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run any command you need. User: user , password : user's password (default is rootme )

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast is a good replacement'''

MeeCast is a good replacement. The MeeCast widget can replace AccuWeather on the events screen, as well as the lock and standby screens. (Install the widget via MeeCast's Settings/Appearance menu.)

=== Calendar ===
'''Partially Working '''

Almost everyone abandon CalDAV. Fortunately Mail for Exchange option works very well with simple basic outlook accounts (!). The trick is to define the domain at office365.com , server at eas.outlook.com and port at 443 (see mail section). It provides Calendar and Contacts synchronization.

I didn't find other tricks for other cal providers.

=== Contacts ===
'''Partially Working'''

Microsoft Exchange : works with a simple Outlook account, see Calendar section about synchronization with Ms Exchange.

Google: see here http://meestuff.blogspot.com/p/syncgcontacts.html

* Warning : developer says : DO NOT USE syncgcontacts IF YOU HAVE ALREADY AN Microsoft Exchange Account.

* Warning : i was unable to install it correctly since some python-qtmobility libraries are missing on my N9. I didnt manage to install them with "sudo apt-get -f install". I guess we have to downloads them first and then to install them with "sudo aegis-dpkg ...". You may find them here : http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/pool/harmattan/free/p/python-qtmobility/

=== Cloud ===
'''Only Google Drive is accessible through FilePlus '''

In 2021, no file manager are still able to connect to closed Clouds (SkyDrive-OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive ) as well as to WebDav resource (NextCloud...) . Basically SSL handshakes fail.

The only exception is FilePlus that can still connect to the Google Drive (and fetch the files... of course).

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

=== Hangouts ===
''' Working in a very limited way and furthermore you have to decrease the security level of your Google account'''

* Install from openrepos the hangouts plugins.
* Then run the account manager and add your hangout account here.
* That's all. You can chat through the native message app but in a very limited way (only text and no auto discovery of contacts that use Hang Outs !)

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

My basic outlook account works well with the "Mail for Exchange" account type. The trick is to define the domain at office365.com , server at eas.outlook.com and port at 443 (see mail section). It provides Calendar and Contacts synchronization as well.

Gmail accounts seems unreachable since recent security "enhancements".

Others pure mail accounts seem to work well as soon as you know their SMTP and IMAP servers settings.

=== MAPS ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI server are down, you have to download maps here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html

But this site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIS :'''

Go here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Message ===
''' Partially working'''

First, install Harmoji, an Emoji SMS Fix. It consists of a patcher utility and a drop-in library that fixes a bug in libsms-utils, causing incoming SMS containing Emoji characters to be silently dropped.

Recommended version is 0.6.6 and it's available here : https://code.google.com/archive/p/harmoji/downloads. Reboot after installing.

Second, install ExtraPlugins. It provides many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. Nowadays ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are DEAD. Only Jabber/XMPP is usable and works well. It's an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server. You can even phone to any jabber/xmpp contacts whatever their own server !
As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you must discover available servers by yourself... Here are few ones I found: jabber.hot-chilli.net, muc.xmpp.org, jabberix.com. See here https://www.jabberes.org/servers/ for others.
I recommend you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for discovering multi user chats provided by these servers.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP accounts (in Account Manager).
* Optionally install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

NB: Harmoji fixes the Emoji issue on jabber/xmpp incoming messages as well. See here for all information about it : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=86704&highlight=harmoji

*Install MeeRadio.
*Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
*Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user (no space in its name).
*Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
*You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Telegram ===
''' Partially Working '''

Telegram-cli still works but it's very limited and works in command line (only text msg is possible ina one to one way).

MeeTelegram is a BETA version, it works well but in a very very limited way as well.

A new alternative arrived in 2021 : meegram2. In Beta but promising. Source code is on GitHub.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. Additionally, available browsers do not support modern internet technologies.

The java midlet Opera Mini 8.0 is a partial workaround.

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your n9. I notice that sites with JavaScript are rarely usable.

You may find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/

Without Opera Mini, you must find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news)...

Resurrect your N9

2021-06-25T10:23:42Z

176.132.107.209: /* Enable automatic network connection */

As of 2015 and later, the [[N9]] is an orphan in the world of mobile phones. No other [[MeeGo]]-based phones have been released to the public, and much of the corporate support offered has now been gone. Firmware and flashers are no longer available from [[Nokia]], the Ovi Store has withdrawn all N9/N950 apps, and the MeeGo.com forums are no more.

The good news is that the N9 lives on, with the support of members of the Maemo community. Whether you've just acquired an N9, or are dusting off an old device, this page will help you get up to speed.

== Firmware ==
You may wish to consider whether to re-flash your phone's firmware. Even if you are already on the latest firmware (40.2012.21-3), you may need to re-flash if you are interested in the following:

* '''Open-Mode Kernel''' disables Nokia's Aegis security system. This is easier to install on a freshly re-flashed device.

* '''[[UbiBoot]]''' allows you to boot alternative kernels or operating systems. Requires the use of the Open-Mode kernel.

* '''Changing Firmware Variant''', e.g. in order to gain localised applications. There are limitations to which firmware variants you can change to/from. See [[Flashing N9]] for further details.

Regardless of your reason for flashing your device, you MUST read the [[Flashing N9]] page thoroughly in order to understand the risks, and how to flash your device successfully.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=82693 Firmware flashing discussion thread]''

== Inception origin fixer ==

In case you do not wish to touch your system more than just strictly necessary, you might consider [http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1359379&postcount=1 this hack-installer]. It is a package that will offer you a way to fake "this package comes from Nokia" to any package with an expired signature.

== Nokia Store and Repositories ==
A mirror of Nokia's software repositories is hosted on [http://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. This contains copies of the free system software and apps for the N9, including most (if not all) of the free apps that were available on the Nokia Store (which no longer works). Another mirror, [http://mirror.thecust.net/harmattan-dev.nokia.com/ thecust.net] contains the developer packages required for enabling Developer mode.

To use these repositories, you must disable Nokia's repositories, and replace them. Installing the '''N9 RepoMirror''' package will do this for you.

* On your phone, open Settings/Applications/Installations, and enable the option 'Allow installations from Non-Store sources'.
* From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror https://openrepos.net/content/ancelad/n9-repomirror].
* Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
* On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-repomirror.

Some users have reported problems with the latest version (0.7.2). Using an older version (0.6.0) seems to help in this instance.

''See also: [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=96018 N9 RepoMirror discussion thread]''

=== Warehouse ===
Warehouse is a package browser for OpenRepos. It allows you to browse, select and install packages directly from your device, in a similar way to the Nokia Store app worked. It can be downloaded from OpenRepos [https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse here].

== Developer Mode ==
Enabling Developer Mode requires the installation of additional developer packages. As the original Nokia repositories are no longer available, you must install RepoMirror first.

To enable Developer Mode:

* Connect your N9 to your wifi
* Open Settings/Security/Developer mode, and enable the option 'Developer mode'.
* After downloading the base packages, your phone will restart. You will find some extra apps such as Terminal are now installed.
* You can now enable further options, including logging, power analysis and IPv6 from Settings/Security/Developer mode.

== Performances ==

Pre-requisites : developer mode must be activated.

*Install N9 QTweakAll :
** From your PC, navigate to [https://openrepos.net/content/schturman/n950-quicktweak here]
** Download the .deb file onto your PC and transfer it to your N9 through Bluetooth.
** On your N9, in the notification view, touch the transferred file, it should run the installation of n9-qtweakall.

*Run N9 QTweakAll, press <Enter> key twice (for passing the PDF part) and follow this steps:
**Letter EE : install FasterN9 (option 3 ) then select the unstable version 1.1.7 (option 2)
**Letter KK : change the priority of smartsearch (option 7) then select Change (option 1). This will decrease the priority of smartsearch from 100 to 10 and therefore prevent the known issues of smartsearch (CPU work load).

== Enable automatic network connection ==

Under the settings page you can define how the phone will connect to different networks. Go to Settings>Internet connection>Edit networks. There you can select which networks will be automatically used and which ones manually. Unfortunately this does not work any more because it requires a working connection to connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com and (you guessed it) the server is not longer running.
BUT: there is an easy fix. Just open the terminal and edit the file /etc/hosts. Add one line the redefines the server to point to connectivity-test.ext.maemo.org.

213.128.137.20 connectivity-test.ext.nokia.com

NB : 213.128.137.20 points to maemo.org

== Apps ==
Many of the N9's apps still work fine out of the box.

Most of them are no longer installable from Warehouse because certificates are TOO old. The install process fails. However a solution exists:

*Download the .deb file from openrepos on your PC then copy them into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder
* Then run the Terminal and run aegis-dpkg
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/myapp.deb

Edit : I recommand you to activate the ROOT-SSH mode, it enable you to open an SSH connection from your PC onto your N9. From this SSH connection, you can run any command you need. User: user , password : user's password (default is rootme )

=== AccuWeather ===
'''Not usable but MeeCast is a good replacement'''

MeeCast is a good replacement. The MeeCast widget can replace AccuWeather on the events screen, as well as the lock and standby screens. (Install the widget via MeeCast's Settings/Appearance menu.)

=== Calendar ===
'''Partially Working '''

Almost everyone abandon CalDAV. Fortunately Mail for Exchange option works very well with simple basic outlook accounts (!). The trick is to define the domain with THIS value : office365.com (see mail section). It provides Calendar and Contacts synchronization.

I didn't find other tricks for other cal providers.

=== Contacts ===
'''Partially Working'''

See Calendar section about synchronization of contacts.

=== Cloud ===
'''Only Google Drive is accessible through FilePlus '''

In 2021, no file manager are still able to connect to closed Clouds (SkyDrive-OneDrive, DropBox, Google Drive ) as well as to WebDav resource (NextCloud...) .
The only exception is FilePlus that can still connect to the Google Drive (and fetch the files... of course).

=== Drive ===
'''Working'''

As OVI server are down, we have to change some links & behaviors.
* Install and run Nokia Drive Enabler.
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Maps.conf and check this line is present in [General] : isSsoEnabled=False
* open /home/user/.config/Nokia/Drive.ini and check this line is present in [Generalsettings] : ssoDone=True
* Change the SUPL resource for GPS FIX because supl.nokia.com resource is dead :
** First method : run N9 QTweakAll and change the GPS Fix provider to "supl.google.com"
** Second method : edit /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf file :
*** devel-su
*** nano /etc/xdg/nokia/location-settings.conf
*** enter in Edition mode with ctrl-o
*** Edit two parameters: PrimarySuplServer and SecondarySuplServer
**** PrimarySuplServer=supl.google.com
**** SecondarySuplServer=a value among supl.vodafone.com, supl.sonymobile.com, agpss.orange.fr
*** Quit and save (ctrl-x...)

The GPS FIX should be quicker from now, at least outdoor.

PS: don't forget to calibrate the compass before driving. The GPS FIX needs an accurate compass !!!

See the Maps section for the second step : download and install the maps, POI, voices...

=== Facebook ===
'''Not working anymore'''

'''*** Facebook is deprecating XMPP support so it does not work anymore. [https://www.facebook.com/help/community/question/?id=10153420636883090] ***'''

For memories, here was the procedure that made Facebook usable :

"The N9 app will work if you de-select 'Chat and Contacts' when adding a Facebook account. If you don't do this Facebook will continually ask you to sign in. The main advantage of using the inbuilt app is that it will add notifications to the N9 feeds page.

Alternatively the Facebook website can be browsed through a web browser, or by installing one of the third party apps available on [https://openrepos.net/category/social-networks OpenRepos.net].

Facebook chat can be used on the N9 as a Jabber account, as they both use the same XMPP protocol. In order to do so:
* Install [https://openrepos.net/content/ekze/extraplugins extraplugins] to add support for more accounts, including Jabber
* In Accounts, add a Jabber account with the following credentials:
** Username: your-facebook-id@chat.facebook.com
** Password: your-facebook-password
** Server: chat.facebook.com
"

=== Hangouts ===
''' Working in a very limited way and furthermore you have to decrease the security level of your Google account'''

* Install from openrepos the hangouts plugins.
* Then run the account manager and add your hangout account here.
* That's all. You can chat through the native message app but in a very limited way (only text and no auto discovery of contacts that use Hang Outs !)

=== Mail ===
'''Working'''

My basic outlook account works well with the Mail for Exchange option. The main trick is to enter this as domain : office365.com. Doing that, I get Calendar and Contact synchronisation. Hurrah !

Gmail accounts seems unreachable since recent security "enhancements".

My others pure mail accounts work well as soon as I found their SMTP and IMAP servers settings.

=== MAPS ===
'''Working'''

See the Drive section for the first (and required) step.

The second step is to download the Maps (2013), the POIS and the Voices.

'''Maps :'''

As OVI server are down, you have to download maps here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_v_00.02.54.223.html

But this site is almost down : it does no longer contain itself the ZIP files. However, fortunately, the WAY BACK MACHINE mechanism works well for the SECONDARY link (web.archive.org).

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache folder.

Advice: each time you run Drive, go in Parameters and UNCHECK Online. This will enable the search of cities and addresses.

'''POIS :'''

Go here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_poi_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/ClientIndex/ folder.

'''Voices :'''

Go here : http://nokiamaps.ct8.pl/nokia_maps_voices_v_00.02.54.223.html

Installation : Unpack downloaded zip archive(s) to cities/diskcache/voices/ folder

=== Message ===
''' Partially functional '''

ExtraPlugins provide many plugins for ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo, Jabber/XMPP accounts. But ICQ, AOL, MSN, QIP, Yahoo are NOT working anymore. Only Jabber/XMPP is usable. It's an open source messaging system. Anyone can install its own jabber/xmpp server.
As almost all BIG companies abandoned this protocol (see Facebook section...), you can only connect to confidential, almost "private" servers (muc.xmpp.org, jabberix.com...).
I recommand you to use Pidgin of Gajim on your PC for discovering them.

Procedure:

* Install ExtraPlugins, it provides a plugin for Jabber/XMP account management.
* Add your Jabber.XMPP accounts (Account Manager).
* Install Multi-User Chats (harmmucs).

=== Music Store ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Nokia Store ===
'''Not usable''': The Nokia Store was closed down in March of 2015.

Much of the Nokia Store's free content is available on [https://openrepos.net OpenRepos.net]. The [https://openrepos.net/content/basil/warehouse Warehouse] app allows you to browse and install apps from OpenRepos in a similar manner to Nokia's Store app.

=== Phone ===
'''Fully functional'''

=== Podcast ===
'''Fully functional'''

Install gPodder or PodCatcher.

Edit: gPodder requires a lot of additional library (python-***). If you encounter errors during installation, run this command for automatic installation of missing libraries : sudo apt-get -f install

=== Radio (internet) ===
'''Fully functional'''

*Install MeeRadio.
*Create one .m3u file per station (no space in this file name, please).
*Copy yours .m3u files into /home/user (no space in its name).
*Go in the List tab of MeeRadio, your should see your .m3u files here.
*You may add some station into the "Preferred stations" tab IF the name of the .m3u file does not contain any SPACE.

=== Radio (FM) ===
'''Fully functional WITH handset'''

*Download the following 4 files from openrepos into a folder on the device, say the /Downloads folder:
fmrx-qt_0.2.0_armel.deb
fmrxd_0.2_armel.deb
fmrx-utils_0.2_armel.deb
qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Then login as root user devel-su with password rootme, then:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb
*Or
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/fmrx*
sudo aegis-dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads/qmlradio_0.0.9_armel.deb

=== Reddit ===
'''Functional '''

Just install Quickddit. It provides most of basic functionalities. You can connect with your Reddit account.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Very partially functional '''

Telegram-cli still works but it's very limited and works in command line (only text msg is possible ina one to one way).

MeeTelegram is a BETA version, it works well but in a very very limited way as well.

A new alternative arrived in 2021 : meegram2. In Beta but promising. Source code is on GitHub.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. This can be mitigated by manually adding the relevant certificates to the certificate store.

Additionally more and more websites require TLS 1.2 - which the meego browser does not support; however, Opera mini does.

The only easy solution to browse the sites implementing TLS 1.2 is to install PhoneMe (Java VM) then the midlet Opera Mini 8.0

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your n9. Because of that, many sites does not work properly.

You may find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/

Without Opera Mini, you must find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news).

The other solution is much more difficult. See here : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=101156&highlight=polishing

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not Working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially functional '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play Youtube videos.
Luckily, Meefox 1.0.5 still works. It lags but it works !

=== Reddit ===
'''Functional '''

Just install Quickddit. It provides most of basic functionalities. You can connect with your Reddit account.

=== Search ===
'''Fully functional'''

I strongly recommend you to decrease the priority of the smartsearch Cron. You can do that easily with QTweak in the Files Tweaker section. It decreases the prio to 10%. This avoids some lags.

=== Skype ===
'''Not working anymore'''

=== Telegram ===
''' Very partially functional '''

Telegram-cli still works but it's very limited and works in command line (only text msg is possible ina one to one way).

MeeTelegram is a BETA version, it works well but in a very very limited way as well.

A new alternative arrived in 2021 : meegram2. In Beta but promising. Source code is on GitHub.

=== Twitter ===
'''Not working anymore'''

The stock app does not work anymore.
Until mid 2019, the Tweetian app was an alternative but it does not work anymore as well since July 2019 :-(

Just for memory, here was the procedure to go through the authentification process with tweetian :
* install and run Opera Mobile
* install and run Tweetian
* once Tweetian opened a page in the stock browser, copy/paste the link into Opera Mobile, you should obtain the precious secret number for validating your connection by this way.

=== Web ===
'''Partially Working'''

With time, some of the SSL root certificates have expired. This can be mitigated by manually adding the relevant certificates to the certificate store.

Additionally more and more websites require TLS 1.2 - which the meego browser does not support; however, Opera mini does.

The only easy solution to browse the sites implementing TLS 1.2 is to install PhoneMe (Java VM) then the midlet Opera Mini 8.0

Opera Mini 8 works in a client/server way with an Opera "proxy" server in the middle (between you and the site, this proxy server seems to be located in Nederland). The web Pages are not running on your device but on the Opera proxy server and the HTML output is then send to your n9. Because of that, many sites does not work properly.

You may find the Opera Mini 8 on https://openrepos.net/

Without Opera Mini, you must find some pure HTML 2.0 sites. Here are some I know : http://lite.cnn.io/en , http://www.msn.com , http://68k.news (Google news).

The other solution is much more difficult. See here : https://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=101156&highlight=polishing

=== Whatsapp ===
'''Not Working anymore'''

Wazapp uses a too old authenfication method. It fails at login.

Whatsup is banned on the Whatsapp servers side. And some say that you risk to be ban several weeks.

=== YouTube ===
''' Partially functional '''

The stock client and CuteTube2 can no longer play Youtube videos.
Luckily, Meefox 1.0.5 still works. It lags but it works !
