Forum Nokia Contest: Are you the cutest?
Participation
To participate in the code competition, you must create a working code example that utilizes Qt and Qt Mobility APIs. The code can be a traditional end-user functioned application or something that is useful for developers, such as a new framework or a new Mobility API implementation.
Note that Forum Nokia would also choose suitable code examples, applications, frameworks and resources to this contest to be published in source code on www.forum.nokia.com wiki.
Participants can create several examples and each will be eligible for an award. If you submit five applications/frameworks, you have a much better chance of winning than if you submit just one!

I've started learning from the source, and you?!
Which device takes the best photos the N97, Tilt2 or Motorola Droid?
When it comes to color reproduction the winner is N97! Read the complete article.

Compiling EPL Symbian Kernel
I'm going to talk about Symbian OS at UFPE, the talk is entitled: How to build your own gadget with Symbian OS
It can seem too early to talk about it, but it's not! I've build the Symbian^3 Kernel on Windows! Now It's time to do some hacking on the platform. Hope to get a beagleboard to go forward.

Symbian C++: How to use Accelerometer on Symbian 5th Edition
I'm publishing this Symbian C++ source code snippet since there is a lot of issues between S60 Platform Services and accelerometer on Flash Lite 3.x. I can describe a few here:
1) The accelerometer sensor data stop working on idle screen;
2) You have to set a high frame rate on the Flash side to get real time sensor data;
3) When connected to a socket server the Flash Lite runtime reduces the frame rate to 1 then like the previous statement we can't get real time sensor data;
4) In the chart example the memory gets full after about 12 minutes, the app crashes and usually shows a phone message: 'Not enough memory to load file'. (Thanks Steven to point it out)
The source code is based on Forum Nokia Wiki articles. Hope this help someone!
Flash vs Qt: The next battle?
Both Qt and Flash platform have something in common: a cross-platform runtime environment.
IMHO, Qt could be a Flash killer in the near future.
Adobe introduced Adobe AIR on March, 2007, to provide a cross-platform runtime environment for building rich Internet applications using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax, that can be deployed as a desktop application and maybe mobile.
While Adobe AIR developers can benefit of using Adobe Flash, Adobe Flex, HTML, or Ajax skills to build applications that deploy to the desktop, Qt developers benefits from a successful open source framework, with high performance on embedded, mobile and desktop.
There are some rumors of Adobe Air to mobile phones that could bring ActionScript 3.0, the current robust OOP programming language of Flash to mobile phones but the question is: Will Adobe be able to deliver AIR runtime to mobile phones with the same performance achieved by the trolls?
...and...
Will trolls be able to maintain Qt flexible and scalable with so many deliveries (Maemo, Symbian, Windows, ...)?
It's my point of view, please, comment if you have any ideas or feedback about this.

Tum: Twitter client for Maemo and Symbian S60
I do not finished my undergraduate degree yet, I have a long history behind it. People sometime treat me like an idiot. I'm not a dumb or I don't like to study.
Every single day I study what I like, I try to acquire skills informally, talking with experts, observing others, through trial-and-error, maybe I am going to be the next Brazilian president ... kidding ...
I've been working in my very spare time in a twitter client for Maemo and Symbian phones. It's called TUM, acronym to Twitter User Magnificent. You can see a video from an old version at this Youtube page.
Please, note that I have changed the name of the project because there is already another Twitter client called QTwitter.

Find the nearest gas station near you with Fuel-UP! Widget! Now available at Ovi Store
I'm proud to announce that Fuel-UP! Widget is now available at Ovi Store. This widget idea is from a consumer and was developed during Nokia Developer Summit 2009, in Monte Carlo, Monaco
Fuel-UP! widget helps you to find the nearest gas station based on your current location and orders them according to price. It ’s a community based service! You are invited to share in real-time world wide gas prices! You can create new markers and update the old one with the correct price of the fuel. Fuel-UP! lets you manually search for Gas price or use the built-in or external GPS module to dynamically search for gas stations near you.
Qt for S60 pre-release “Tower” released: Webkit support!
"Tower" is the fifth pre-release from the Qt for S60 porting project. It is based on the Qt 4.5 codebase. Release focus has been on improving graphics and network performance, better GUI integration, and porting even more Qt modules to S60.
New modules in this package are:
- QtSql: SQL module with sqlite3 backend
- QtWebkit: Experimental Webkit support for S60
- Phonon: The Phonon multimedia library (currently without a backend)
Other highlights:
- Windows Installer with pre-built Qt for S60 for both emulator and phone
- Added support for QLocalSocket & QLocalServer
- Added API for setting softkeys
- Experimental support of the new Symbian build system
- Experimental handling of out-of-memory situations and exceptions
A detailed list of changes is available at:

Later today I am going to play with it ![]()
How to use S60 Platform Services to create accelerometer based user interaction with Adobe Flash Lite
In this article I and Mario Barbosa are going to show tips and tricks to use accelerometer sensor data to better create user interaction and improve game and user interfaces. Enclosed in the article you will also find two full implemented swf and the respective source code to download. Please, enjoy and give us your feedback!
The S60 platform allows Flash Lite applications installed on S60 mobile devices to access data from the physical sensors of a device using the Sensor Service API.
