Just unpack the .zip file then extract the files, click on a .wgz file and it will instal like a normal app, the apps icon will be in the menus applications folder.

Is that the widsets app? N95 v21 fw dnt need that java app to run proper widgets

frogfalls 26 Mar 2008, 19:16

I am a bit confused with this matter. Could anyone explain what would we expect with this new firmware version ( V21) regarding widgets? How it works and so on, I am not sure about how it should works.
Cheers

Just download the files i posted in this thread and instal the individual widgets, they instal just like normal apps but use webruntime to run

frogfalls 26 Mar 2008, 19:34

I did It, now I understand how it works, thx Biggzy

RogerPodacter 26 Mar 2008, 21:15

so is it worth it? how fast are the widgets? i heard that they can be slow. also isnt this just hte same as using the regular browser RSS feature?

Bareen31 27 Mar 2008, 03:14

Could some kind enough to explain the different between Widsets and Widgets? Not the "S" and the "G" please.

RogerPodacter 27 Mar 2008, 03:40

i think they are the same exact thing, people just call it differently.

WidSets is an app into which you can load certain modules like RSS readers, search boxes etc. WidGets are stand alone, flash-based, apps which you can install and run directly on v21 (classic) or v15 (8Gb) firmware. Mostly the same kind of things are available for both, things like news tickers, RSS readers, search pages etc.

I have also R66v8 installed:

After the update, I'd to execute the R66v8-SIS again, and it worked again . . .

The SIS-file I executed, is on the DVD-ROM 😉

It seems the widgets we have at the moment are pretty pants really. I was thinking of having a go at writing one which will connect to the live feed on my webcam, so I can check it anywhere.

Like Orb?

I suppose, except the live feed camera(s) I'm going to be setting up will be on a Linux box. AFAIK the Orb PC software is only available for Windows machines.

Have upgrade to V21 but I dont see where I can start using Widget/Web Runtime. Please help. I am on APAC product code.

zxon 29 Mar 2008, 23:33

I don't think you see the "option" anywhere. You just install the widgets like applications. See earlier in this thread for a ZIP file with some examples in it.
