that is such an innovative homescreen!
how you made it?

those making the nice homescreen need a software to do it or can do itself by the default N900 application?

all those homescreen are normal images converted to suit N900 screen size and u overwrite the default images. Format must be in .png

Thats the uniqueness of having linux like nokia n900. U do not need special software to make it work.

requires openSSH to copy paste image to replace the default images.

OpenSSH is not a software to make themes but a software to access your phone root files so u can edit it.
*BE WARN* if u replace or deleted the wrong files u will end up bricking your phone

after reflashing, will everything be ok?

I agree but X-terminal very mafan if the text is very long 1 wrong text must retype again. With WinSCP copy paste settle haha
Like u said can copy and paste command through text too.
To intermediate and advance user yes its unbrickable to beginner its OMFG it spoil my phone

wow how u replace d bg for clock and music player?
mind share where to change d image location in openssh?

what do you mean by data?
what type of data?

just finished angry bird with all 3 stars

so you back up to either pc suite or ovi suite?

yea, thats true.
i asked the nokia salesperson that day.
only skype.

if NOKIA dun abandon Maemo and concentrate on Meego... that is..

or else gonna live with it.

when meego available for n900..
who still want stay with maemo?

true also..
then probably we have to wait for ages for them to come up with the next update.

True. It's a powerful Internet Tablet even if you don't use it as a phone.

Besides, currently I prefer Maemo, the name, the UI, the Desktop, etc. MeeGo looks ver Android-ish to me. Of course, haven't seen the final product, so can't really comment.

Another plus point is that N900 is very "open" and very packed with hardware, e.g. Infra RED, etc. I'm not sure there will be any device have so many types of features anytime soon. From previous Nokia practices, once in a blue moon, they will have one device which is very complete or packs with many hardwares.
Not sure if MeeGo device will be so "open" and "free".

Finally, MeeGo device seems will be in capacitive touch screen as the public favors over it. It's nice to have multi-touch, mainly for gaming, not much use for apps, pinch-and-zoom ain't important compared to accuracy and ability to use finger-nails and/or stylus. And with capacitive, no more use for MyPaint or Sketch app. 
N900 will be a legend by then.
Hm... AFAIK, the 1st MeeGo device from Nokia will be Maemo6/Harmattan rebranded as MeeGo, they called it MeeGo 1st Instance. It'll still use deb packaging system from the last time I read long ago because actually Maemo6/Harmattan is already in development phase when MeeGo plan is announced, so it'll be a waste to drop it off, so instead, they re-brand it to MeeGo. That's what I read in maemo-talk.org, not sure if there's any changes. It's mentioned on "qgil", if you know who he is.

Nice 3D Graphics and Sound



TQ

Can you teach me how to add the OC widget into the Quick Launch menu?

mates, i think i bricked my n900, i was trying to flash it, and i did the second part, which means step 9 onwards in the 1st page guide of updating firmware, after restarting the phone, all it displays is square fonts. Im screwed

thats what im doing, currently at my last step

Very much agreed on the Maemo vs Meego comment. I'm really afraid that Meego will become a dumbed down "smartphone" OS on top of linux compared to the raw desktop power of Maemo.

And about the N900 being the next after death legend (after discontinued only popular), I have little doubt, keeping in mind just how powerful and quirky it is. Feel like buying a few more just for spare and parts lol.

It worked now. Thanks.

iPhone 3GS great hardware? Maybe the Cortex A8 processor. Others are failure... mono speakers! Argh! Low resolution screen and very bad in daylight. Weak Wifi, weak bluetooth.... 3MP camera... Lack of many other things if you compare.
Based on it's hardware, it should just cost around RM1K~RM1.3K. iPod Touch 3G 32GB is selling around RM1.1K and it's already quite expensive. It's the brand that cost more.

I think the creators might port or make for Android rather than Maemo...
BUT Zen Bound, Angry Birds... were in iPhone...

But N900 for gaming will not be so great as it lacks proper multi-touch (touch there're videos in YouTube proving multi-touch support capabilities, but I think the coding is harder, unless they come up with a proper library, etc.)
There's also Piano App demoed in N97 supporting Multi-Touch in YouTube, not sure how true. Perhaps someone can verify.

why when i try to flash it keep showing USB device not found though i waited long enough

it will be soft case type and flexible..sort of gel like..
