"Application" repository??
 
Hi a quick question to ask, I was trying to update DocToGo Viewer Installer, and then install DocToGo Viewer, however once I click the installer, it asks me to add a repository called "Application", and there is a warning message saying "It is not maintained by Nokia".
I wonder if this repository is safe to add??? and surely it should be Nokia repository???? And also I have OVI repository enabled, but I can't find applications like "Angry Birds"??? Anyone please make some suggestions, many thanks.

Does it give the address of the "Application" repository?

Regarding the Ovi repository, you can't use Application Manager to install from that unfortunately, you have to use the Ovi store website.

Ovi apps aren't using user/* sections so they are not visible in AppMgr.

DocsToGo should come from Maemo Select repository (aka Nokia Applications) which is preinstalled on device, you shouldn't need to add it. See AppMgr / Catalogues if you have disabled it or something.

Use the OVI store link on your desktop (or in the applications list). Then find AngryBirds and click on the install link.

Thanks Rob1n, so i should use the OVI store link in web browser to install these applications?

Either that, or the Ovi Store icon, or type in URL store.ovi.mobi in browser, they should all work. Then click on games, find Angry Birds on the list, click it, then click Install (or was it Download) on the page: it launches AppMgr which thinks for a while and then installs the game for you like any other app.

The only difference to Extras is that you have to browse Ovi Store via browser to install stuff, instead of finding apps in AppMgr.
