gnokii and Nokie N95 8GB

Hi,
I've been doing some research on gnokii and the N95, and haven't found
anything much.  Can anyone tell me if they have gnokii working with the
n95, or baring that, what the plans are for getting gnokii working with
it?

Thank you and best regards,
Arnold

Gnokii on S60 is supported by an application on the mobile end
(Gnapplet). It seems that the native protocol on a S60 device is not
very usable for anything else except transferring your own handler to
the mobile.

Nobody else then me has indicated any interest in developing such
application based on the S60 2nd ed version.

The problem is that current Gnapplet version (for S60 2nd ed.) has been
developed with Linux tools and I have zero experience with them. All
professional Symbian development is based on Windows-tools (which are
freely available on the net). So, unfortunately there are no results yet.

Jari Turkia

Thank you for your reply.  The function I'm particularly intereseted in
is the phonebook.  From your example above, it doesn't look as if the
getphonebook function is working with your phone.  It didn't work with
mine either.  Is there someone working on this?

Thank you for your reply.  I believe the N95 runs Symbion 3rd edition.
I can't get to the gnokii web site today; traceroute stops at a router
in San Jose, California for some reason.  I recall reading something
about a change in communication protocol between 2nd and 3rd edition
(please correct me if I'm wrong).  I tried running gnapplet.sis on the
N95 and the phone would not start it up.  Does gnapplet need to be
recompiled/updated for the N95 Symbion OS?

To be more specific. gnokii main area of interest are FBUS protocol
and AT protocol. Symbian phones have completly no FBUS support (which
is included only in Nokia phones Series40 and earlier). For unknown
reason Symbian phones have also very limited AT command subset
implemented. Therefore using AT commands you can send SMS, but you
can't read SMS, you can's read/write phonebook or calendar, etc. On
the other hand Symbian supports SyncML and Obex which are not
supported by gnokii.

We have (namely Bozo did) created gnapplet to be able to get from the
phone what we want. gnapplet consists of Symbian application (you need
to install it on the phone and run it every time you want connection)
and gnokii driver which talk using our internal protocol.

However this is not the case for Symbian60 3rd Edition which N95
happens to be. Symbian API completly changed for the 3rd edition and
nobody ported gnapplet (yet). There have been several attempts but all
of them failed (as of now).

What you can get from N95:
 - very limited functionality with gnokii using AT driver
 - access to filesystem using OpenObex tools
 - phonebook, calendar, todo, etc synchronization using Opensync (or
any other SyncML compatible software)

Unfortunately there's no single application to manage such phone.

You mean 3rd Edition.

That's right. Daniele recently started to work on this but he faced
the problem of the self-signing site being down -- 3rd Ed. requires
applications to be digitally signed in order to run.

take care,

Thank you for your reply.  So, someone is working on gnapplet for the
n95?  Is the self-signing site being down the only problem with the
porting effort?

Thank you and best regards,
Arnold

Thanks a lot for sharing the config file for N95. Unfortunatly, I  
cannot send SMS with it.

According to Pawel, It is possible to send SMS with AT commands to  
N95 with Gnokii.
Does someone succeed can share his config file ?

Thanks for your help.

LoLoVioLo

not that we are aware of, but the original author of gnapplet, Borbely
Zoltan, might step in at some time

I'm also looking at Python for S60 because version 1.4.2 adds support
for "logs" which seem to give access to the remote number of SMS; I
wasn't able to check this because of my Bluetooth problems

no the downtime is over, the main problem for me is that programming
in C++ on Symbian OS is too different from what I alreadly know

Signing is easily avoided(or reduced to a meaningless thing)... Infact I'd
recommend debranding and jailbreaking (thus breaking any and all Digital
Restrictions Managment facilities for applications) on any n95 device...

###!!!WARNING!!!###
This can be dangerous. I take no responsibilities for anything.
Just because it worked for me it doesn't mean it will for anyone
else.
###!!!WARNING!!!###

That said I found the entire process of debranding and jailbreaking
easy to do. The important bits:
 * PLUG THE PHONE INTO AC!!!
 * DO NOT DISCONNECT THE PHONE UNTIL THE UPDATER SAYS IT'S
   FINISHED AND YOU SEE IT BOOTUP SUCCESSFULLY

In case you wan tto debrand it and jailbreak it first debrand it.

Here's some tutorials:

Are you actually looking to rewrite gnapplet in python?  Does python get
around the digital signing issue in S60 rel 3.1?

I've had a look at the links you provide and I've bookmarked them.  Yes,
it doesn't look too difficult :-).  Except for the PC-Suite bit though.
  I don't have any windows machines at home; they're all Linux.  This is
what I would have to do to get gnapplet version 0.6.24 working on my
n95?  How much of gnokii would work once I'd done this?  What else would
I gain from this, and what would I lose?  I'm guessing the phone
warranty would be history once I'd done this.

Thank you and best regards,
Arnold

What I meant to say is that we have a working Gnapplet for S60 2nd ed.
But on 3rd ed. APIs have changed and the thing could be rewritten to
compile on 3rd. ed tools. In that way it could be based on 2nd ed.

The signing is not really an issue. You can always get past that by
configuring your device's settings, of course that is a nuisance when an
application is being distributed to hundreds or thousands of users. The
commercial applications have a real certificate which is based on
Symbian Certified testing. The certification process is affordable
nowadays, so if any results were available I'm positive we would be able
to get it passed.

Python on S60 is nice for testing and prototyping. It is totally
un-usable for distributing anything to the masses. First off: no S60
phone has Python in it when shipped, secondly: there are huge
limitations what you can do with Python, for example you'd have to first
start the application manually before doing any Gnokiiing.

OK. So that should be 2nd Ed and earlier.

You're right. I'm not an expert here. These were just highlight of the
irc chats.

take care,

I'm going to buy an S60 3rd edition phone in the near future (I hope just
some weeks).

With Nokia's dev tools you don't need to own such thing. I managed to
set up the emulator with a spare Bluetooth-key so that it is possible to
have a Linux on a laptop 1 and run Symbian software on the emulator with
native BT-support on laptop 2. Both the S60 emulator and Linux see each
other via Bluetooth. After completing that I run into trouble with
Cardide.c++ and 2nd ed Gnapplet code (but that's an another story).

This is possible only on Windows and the BT-emu-driver hogs the specific
BT apparatus for itself (until the driver is uninstalled). That's why
you may want to use an external USB key for emulator.

Jari Turkia

I thought I'd summarize this thread to sort out my own understanding of
the current status of gnokii, gnapplet, and the N95 8GB.

Gnokii was written to use the FBUS and AT protocols.  The current
generation of Nokia phones, the N series phones all(?) use Symbion OS
which has no support for FBUS and limited AT command support.  Gnapplet
was written to address this change.

The N95 8GB runs Symbion OS 9.2, S60 rel 3.1.  Gnapplet was written for
Symbion S60, and the current version (0.6.2[45]) was written for S60 rel
2.x. Current attempts to port gnapplet to S60 rel 3.x have not been
successful.  Among other things S60 rel 3 requires applications to be
digitally signed, but this is not the only issue.

The current versions of gnokii and gnapplet work somewhat with S60
version 3.  However, you must debrand and jailbreak the phone (links are
here:

Jailbreaking:

http://www.finestfones.com/2008/04/how-to-install-any-applications-using.html
Thank you Andraz!)
I'm not comfortable doing the above to my phone considering that the
functions I'm interested in (phone book & sms) don't work well on S60
rel 3 with the current version of gnapplet.

Borbely Zoltan, the original author of gnapplet, is planning to buy an
S60 3rd edition phone in the near future (soon I hope :-) and this may
get us to a gnapplet running on S60 rel 3.

How can I help?  I reasonably confident I could help with the testing.
I've had a look at the GnuPoc website, but I don't see anything about
S60 Rel 3, and I'm forbidden from the GnuPoc wiki.  I'll keep looking
for developer information, but any shortcuts will be greatly appreciated :-)

Thank you and very best regards,
Arnold

Correction... none 1st or 60nd edition app will work no matter if it is
debranded or jailbroken... this Only bypases the need to have it signed by
symbian-signed...
