Does anyone know anything about Jabber clients for Symbian? The best I found was one called ICQ Mobile, but it doesn't support OMEMO, or at least I haven't figured out how to enable that support.

I know of no symbian-native clients, but there are J2ME clients like BombusMod

Most of them are long dead though

I've used and tested it, but the problem I have with it is that it's impossible to connect to your user account; it always has a login problem.

macro, alexkurisu Maybe BombusMod is very old and just not compatible with current TLS? If so, you could setup your own instance without or with very old TLS, too, but that would be extremely insecure.

The problem is that I can't even log in properly. I think I'll end up creating my own XMPP client. The issue is that I don't know how to program, I don't know how XMPP works, and I don't know anything about making programs for Symbian or J2ME.

xmpp-proxy ran somewhere, possibly even on that phone itself, would give you a plaintext port to connect to and still connect securely to your modern XMPP server

still nothing is going to give you OMEMO for free on a client abandoned years before OMEMO existed

I know that perfectly well.

I'd like to make my own XMPP client, but my limited knowledge prevents me from doing so; I guess I'll have to study.
