Hi George,
I’ve recieved the updata of a new minibible version(0.9.71), but I failed to update with it, and either can I find that version on this website, so I want ask you that if this version gernerated by you? If it is, would you please tell me that where can I get this new version?
I love this app, I’ve been using it for almost three years since I began to use N9.
May God bless you for your awsome work.
sorry for so many typing mistakes
Hi Tyler
I have not pushed any update. It must be a failure of the Store System.
I am not working on MiniBible anymore as I don’t use my N9 anymore.
Hello! George, do you think is possible to have on N9 other romanian translation of the Bible? Now we have RCV and RCCV, but how about the Sinodal Romanian version?
Thank you! A good day!
MiniBible only provides the translations as provided by http://www.crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Bibles
How ever if you have a translation which is packed in the standard Sword module, you simply can extract it to the MyDocs/Sword/ folder.
You will se other modules which have the same folder structure.
After a restart of MiniBible it should be available in the list.
The plain files will be automatically generated on first selection!
Are you planning to develop for Jolla? I’d be glad to pay for the bible
No, I am not planning do port it to Jolla.
But feel free to do it yourself, its Opensource and the latest source is provided just above on this page 🙂
Thanks! I guess I’ll have to learn programming 🙂
Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is great, let alone the content!. Thanks For Your article about MiniBible | Digital home of George Ruinelli .
Thank you for your work on this app. How can i use gerhfa2002 with it on my n9?
The HFA is not supported since it is a locked module.
I suggest instead to use the Neue Evangelische Übersetzung (gerneue)
Thank you so much George! It worked very well. God bless!
Hi, is it possible to install other languages that are not present in that site but are still part of the Sword Project… Like the one here
http://www.wordofgod.in/Downloads/FreeBibleSoftwares/TheSwordProject/TeluguBible.aspx
If it is a standard Sword module, you simply can extract it to the MyDocs/Sword/ folder.
You will se other modules which have the same folder structure.
After a restart of MiniBible it should be available in the list.

Please let me know if it works.
nope, one of the recent updates fixed this 🙂 Thanks for your work!
Can anyone help me to get nepali translation bible.
Hi,
after my Phone was updated to PR1.2 I can not reinstall minibible.It tries to download some depenecies but fails at a certain point (6MB left). Minibible ist therefore not installed. Do you know any way to fix that? I think the problem is somewhere in my phone…
Do you still have this problem?
Can you install other software?
MiniBible uses only dependencies which are provided by Nokia, so it actually should work without issues.
Let me know and I will try to help.
Yes, it’s still there. Ever since I upgraded to PR1.2. I can install every other software I want to though, from SOVI or somewhere else.
Is there any way to manually install the dependencies? like apt-geting it?
Thanks for your help!
Hi derliebewolf
Sorry for the late reply, I did not see your message.
Do you still have this issue?
Hi,
Kindly let us have the link to download bible translation for Nokia N9. I have already installed the minibible on my phone. You may even turn the list under „Supported Bible Translation“ into links to those downloads even if they are premium sites.
Some people can pay for others to download free.
You have to download the bible translations from within MiniBible.
Open the menu and go to Settings > Add/Remove translations.
Let me know if you need more help.
