E50 - Installing gnapplet for gnokii

5 replies · 25,367 views · Started 24 December 2006

Hi all,

for a few days i am now a lucky owner of the E50 phone.

Now, i`ve tried to connect my phone with the gnokii-suite on linux to sync it with Kontakt.
Therefore i had to install gnapplet on my phone.

So, i downloaded gnapplet.sis to my pc and sent it via Bluetooth to my E50.
And thats where my problem started: My E50 told me that gnapplet.sis could not be installed. Nothing more, nothing less.

Can anyone give me a hint how to install gnapplet.sis ... or if there is another way to sync the E50 with Kontakt.

Thank you!

My best guess is that gnapplet.sis was complied for the previous version of Series 60. With the introduction of Symbian OS 9.1 (Series 60 3rd edition) Symbian introduced new and very strong security measures. These security measures result in Series 60 3rd edition phones not being backward compatible. Therefore, you, or someone with the requisite knowledge, will have to re-code and re-compile gnapplet.sis so that it will work on Series 60 3rd edition phones.

Anyone know if there has been any progress on this. Is gnokii gnapplet.sis now re-compiled and working for S603rd phones? Thanks.....

gnapplet is not 'yet' compatible with E61.
If something changes, I guess it will be updated here: 'gnokii.org/faq.shtml#newphone'

Actually, I am having the same problem: E61 would like to sync with openSUSE 10.2.

Any ideas?

Still no progress on this it seems - youd think that even Nokia itself should be pushing for Linux compatiility!

*Sigh* I just got an N73 (I wanted to do some Symbian OS programming, that's mainly why) and am also desperately waiting for a working gnapplet for it, hoping to be able to sync then.

I tried using opensync on Debian Sarge (current backports), but it does not work with the N73 at all. Someone made syncing work under Ubuntu, it seems, with the syncml-obex-plugin. But that one is not backported to Sarge (yet?). When I compiled it myself (and all the libs it needs), it would not work either (I tracked it down to an OBEX error 67, which apparently means 'Permission Denied', whatever that means -- I can't make much sense of the debug log files). So my current hope is the Gnokii plugin.

It's sad.

BTW, I am new here, so Hi!
