Meh. The reason why QT keyboard would not be acceptable to replace hildon vkb is very simple - QT memory footprint. Did you forget n900 comes with 256MB of RAM? And running even simple QT/QML application consumes about 8%-10% of that? While it sounds very good in theory, in practice(under memory pressure) it would just slow the device even further.<br><br><br><br> >-------- Оригинално пиÑмо --------<br> >От: Michael Hasselmann <michael@taschenorakel.de><br> >ОтноÑно: Re: Looking for help from a GTK guy with 2 projects<br> >До: Jonathan Wilson <jfwfreo@tpgi.com.au><br> >Изпратено на: Понеделник, 2011, Ðоември 14 02:45:40 EET<br><br> >On Sun, 2011-11-13 at 17:53 +0800, Jonathan Wilson wrote:<br> >> > Have you considered Maliit?<br> >> > http://wiki.maliit.org/Documentation/Installing#Maemo_5_.28Fremantle.29<br> >> That looks nice but:<br> >> 1.Its clearly stated that its use on Maemo5 is "not ready for prime time"<br> >> 2.Its written in QT (and not only that, it uses QT version labeled <br> >> "experimental") and takes over a lot more of the input system than I would <br> >> like (including not using Maemo keyboard layouts which is something I want <br> >> to keep doing)<br> >> and 3.There is no way Maliit or anything based on it would be accepted into <br> >> the CSSU because of #1 and #2.
