Recommended system tweaks

How to make geolocation work?

• On Symbian 9.x / ^3 disable all location sources except unassisted GPS.
• Disable A-GPS. On non-symbian devices it may be called as "geolocation server", "internet support", "supplement server" or something like that.
• Let your device perform a cold start: request geolocation in any app (MahoMaps, Google Maps, Ovi Maps, Sports tracker, anything else) and keep the device under clear sky. It is desirable that the horizon is visible. Wait until it catches sattelites. May take a while.
• Once you are sure that GPS receiver works okay, you may try to enable A-GPS to increase accuracy and startup time. We recommend using supl.google.com as supplement server. supl.nokia.com is dead!
• If you experience issues, try disabling A-GPS.
• If you device can't catch sattelites even in good weather, check that its GPS receiver is operable.

Build without IDE

Github actions

We have an action which builds the app on git pushes. You can pull latest builds from it, check "checks" section of your pull request or commit info.

Windows

Install an SDK for your device, follow its instructions.

Debian / Ubuntu

dpkg --add-architecture i386
apt update
apt-get install gcc-multilib libxt6:i386

Then install 32-bit JDK 1.6.0 and WTK 2.5.2. Edit build script to use your installed tools (instead of "compiler" repo clone) and run it.

Adding your own localisation

• Create copy of en.txt/ru.txt, name it with your language's code and translate all strings.
• Keep in mind that original language of app was russian (russian is original. Not english).
• You can test how it will look like with replacing english file, for example.
• To make it actually work as one more language, you need to make 3 changes in app's code:

1. Go to Settings.java. In GetUiLangFile() add one more case (with next number) to the switch. Make it return name of your file without .txt.
2. Startup selection: MahoMapsApp.java, processFirstLaunch(). Add your language to lang choice group. Name it in english (Russian, not Русский).
3. Settings menu: SettingsScreen.java, ChoiceGroup uiLang. Add your language. Name it as is (Русский, not Russian).

CI on your pull request will attempt to compile the project. If you failed somewhere, it will show that.
