SAM is born! (Symbian-Android Modders group) and world’s first N8 modified CFW (not only hack) is here!

Ladies and Gentlemen, let me present you: SAM!!!!!

I am glad to tell you that from this very day, CODeRUS, fonix232 and me are working together to make the modding screen better and bigger.
While CODeRUS and I will work on modding of Symbian^3 and mostly the N8 (I’ll keep spending most of my time on i8910 in this period 😉 ), fonix232 is making some pretty nice tutorials, mods, apps, ROMS for Android (specifically for the HTC G1), and also, we are working on getting Android, or ANY Linux based mobile OS to our dear N8 (and of course the i8910 too, do not forget about that little precious phoney ). We haven’t had any good result yet, so WE DON’T HAVE ANY LINUX RUNNING ON SYMBIAN PHONES…but we’re trying hard to make it happen…even if chances are very low 🙁

Also I am presenting you the first whole ever Nokia N8 UDA-based firmware, by CODeRUS! With tiring work, he made this great mod, so here it is, take it!

about new firmware and new Qt Libraries release (4.7.1)

Hi guys, first of all I want to thank ALL of you for the nice comments you have left in the latest post 😉

I’d like to remember you some things which I won’t work on because they’re unlikely to become true:

– SKYPE, VOIP CALLS, VOICE DIALING, SPB SHELL BY DEFAULT (I contacted SPB guys, I’m a betatester there, and they told me they don’t want their software to be included in custom firmwares), BETTER VIDEO SOUND RECORDING, KINETIC SCROLLING IN STANDARD VIDEO PLAYER,  FLASH PLAYER FOR OPERA BROWSER, HOMESCREEN FROM N8, CALL RECORDING,…

Keep on posting ! 😉 But please don’t ask for impossible things such as the ones above 🙂

Then…

Some days ago a new Qt Libraries package was released from Qt guys! 🙂 Qt has now reached version 4.7.1 and Qt Mobility has reached v1.1.0!!! 🙂 It’s getting more and more powerful 🙂

The official qt_installer.sis package is now compatible with i8910 too (since 4.7final), so now we don’t need any custom installer! 🙂

Here’s the package, feel free to download it, and try all Qt symbian software you know! 🙂

Download Qt 4.7.1

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!README!!!!!!!!!!!!

INSTALLING 4.7.1 WILL BREAK THE FAENILATOR (another qt bug) , SO IF YOU NEED THE FAENILATOR DON’T UPDATE YOUR QT LIBRARIES….

THE NEW FAENILATOR WILL BE FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH NEWER QT VERSION OF COURSE.
