Deleting Hidden Untrusted S60 Themes How-To
Written on
Earlier I wrote about a problem with restoring data to my Nokia E71 after a firmware upgrade. Well, there was also another problem. Once again, I started getting the “Untrusted software found on memory card. To install, go to Application manager.” complaint upon my Nokia E71 booting or otherwise mounting the memory card. Application Manager showed no applications marked as “Not installed”, and reinstalling the applications I tend to have installed didn’t fix the problem.Look, S60 Software Installation with No Hands
Written on
S60 3rd Edition has been out for quite a while by now, and for me, the one thing that has all but killed the pleasure of developing native software for the platform has been the humiliating wait—dismiss dialog—wait—dismiss dialog—wait—dismiss dialog—wait procedure during installation of the software being tested and developed. For one-off installations the installation procedure is no problem, but when you’re a developer it gets old real fast. On 1st and 2nd edition I would bypass the installer by simply transferring the binaries to where they ultimately belong on the target filesystem, using a tool such as obexftp.Finding Out the Best-Before Date of a SIS File
Written on
There are a few Symbian software authors who occasionally write a piece of Symbian code, possibly with no intention of ever touching the code again, package it up as a SIS file, and then “fire and forget” that SIS file to some web site in case someone should find it useful. Or forget until such time that someone complains about the SIS file having been expired. Some of the blame here falls to Symbian’s makekeys tool, which by default generates certificates with the validity period of only one year.
