@david_kewell007

you are welcome

read the extra-devel wiki page
to know how to enable it in application manager.

after you add devel repo successfully go to your terminal and type "apt" commands as in my previous post

and when you want to install a webos game you need preenv, and get your games from the net over a store or something else

./sifo

Hello,
go to your terminal :

Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get update && apt-get install preenv

as for whatsapp there is already a client for N900 called "Yappari" please use power search to find it, about 2go i dont know if there is even a java port !

Good luck

@david_kewell007
are you installing games FOR N900 ?!
i will make it short for you

the N900 can install debian_armel,
and the N8 ( a dumbed symbian

) can install jar,jad,sis and sisx so there is not anything common between them which mean you can't !

.
looks like you are totally new to your device i recommend you to read more about it

Hello friend, How are you doing today? Thanks for your help i have gotten a lot on my N900 and its fun, i installed some apps but can't find them on the desktop and don't know how to create the shortcut on the desktop. Any idea how to do that? Are you a developer? i would love to know you more if you don't mind.
