I recently acquired a Nokia C5-03 and am trying to deploy Qt applications to a mobile device for the first time. I'm using Qt SDK 1.1.2 since Qt SDK 1.1.4 does not have the shortcuts for installing Qt components to a Symbian 1 device. I installed Qt, Qt Webkit, Qt Mobility, and other components to my phone using the shortcuts. I have installed EnergyProfiler and EnvSelector from Nokia and both are running properly. I am trying to deploy the simplest application possible from Qt Creator to the phone just to test the process. I used Qt Designer to create an app with just one push button. Of course it runs in the simulator. For deployment, I made one change to the .pro file as indicated in the documentation topic 'Creating Self-signed Smart Installer Packages', i.e I pasted the line 'DEPLOYMENT.installer_header=0xA000D7CE' over the commented-out line in the .pro file. In some cases I chose the option to create a smart installer package but in others I didn't. In all cases when I copied to .sis to my phone and installed it, the installation completes successfully with the message 'Installation complete' and the app's icon appears in the 'installed apps' menu alongside icons for EnergyProfiler etc. However, unlike for EnergyProfiler etc, 'clicking' on the icon does not launch the app. In cases where I created a Smart Installer package and tried to install it, the installation does not complete successfully. The phone downloads 6.47 MB from the Internet and installation continues but eventually fails with the message 'Installation failed' followed by the message 'to continue installation later click on the Smart Installer icon'. Doing so merely repeats the cycle. Can anyone identify the problem or can anyone tell me the simplest way to deploy the simplest Qt application (self-signed) to my (Nokia C5-03, S60 5th edition) phone?.
