Nevermind.There are people selling mini usb to mini usb cable but no mini usb to normal usb.
I guess since OTG isn't a common function it's hard to find the cable.

yeah,but the otg function is really useful.

Trust me,with fully functioning OTG you can dump netbook.N900 can pretty much replace netbook/laptop.

yes,N900 memory is big enough to copy some file,not enough can add sd card somemore  thumbup.gif

Sane people : "32GB is enough for me to save all my files"-Most of the users
Adventures people : "I want to install NITDroid,better install it with separate SD card.4-8GB should be enough"
Insane people : "I need 32GB of internal memory + 32GB of sd memory to save all my things"

I'm still in adventures people list.

macro and details of pictures are hardware based and they are due to the photons impinged on the sensor.

on the other hand HDR is a smart way of coding a software by combining 2 or more different exposure pictures and averaging it thus allowing the foreground and background to be seen clearly. I believe this can be done or implemented on symbian through coding.

However if some of Fcam features can be coded as thirdparty apps for symbian as well. So far I have not seen any kernel mod for symbian~
*
Symbian became open source not long ago.Give it some time & some people might try to mod it's kernel.But since symbian isn't exactly derived from linux maybe there are very limited people with knowledge to mod it.
Maemo already taken over all the nerds.

QUOTE(RViN @ Sep 27 2010, 01:13 AM)
Even when you look at Windows Phone 7 you realise how far ahead Meamo is in terms of a mobile platform.
*
One look at Windows Phone 7's "desktop" and you already know that it's full with nonsense stuff.Apple & Google made iOS & Android's desktop simpler but Microsoft made in much campier.

meLi,

What do you mean working with new version?

You're using Titan kernel right? New version FCam you mean FCam 1.6?
No problem?

I'm using fcam v1.7 with titans kernel too.
Working just fine.

yeah, manage to install sygic 9 into my new n900. thanks to mr aspire2006 and Josh.

just got my n900 last saturday and it has been a very pleasing experience so far. still so much to explore and its like i dont really need my laptop to bring to anywhere now. this set literally replace the needs of having a notebook lol.

anyway do u know how to reorganize all the apps inside it? everything that has preinstalled or installed by me is kinda cramped into 1 big page, previous nokia has this option to copy/move the apps and paste it to wherever we want to. cant seems to find a way to do it now though

Women > Electronic stuff

Damn...My computer headphone just died today.Been using as earphone substitute for my phone so now I'm earphoneless/headphoneless.
If by end of this day I cannot get any decent headset,I might just order BH-505 from someone.

I'm wondering if it might brick the phone since it's still in Extras-Devel? smile.gif
*
I've yet to hear a hardware wise bricked N900 case caused by NITDroid.Some supernoobs messed up their installation & had to reflash.Thats the worse case I heard so far.
Majority of the apps in Extras-Devel might cause software problem sometime.Seldom hardware problem.

45 minutes of tireless search for new headphone & the best looking option right now is Nokia BH-505 for RM200 doh.gif

New update about pre-alpha OTG
I think it's possible to use our default nokia usb cable(CA-101) connected with a female to female usb connector in order to use OTG.
Basic requirement to use OTG is Micro-AB type of USB cable(B refers to female connector which the cable connecting to phone in CA-101 cable & A is the female connector which you can buy from any pasar malam).
From what I have researched miniB & miniAB pretty much have the same basic structures.

user posted image
This is the female to female usb connector.

So anyone with guts go ahead buy the connector & try out the OTG.
I have to wait till Saturday to mess with this because my exam last paper is on friday sad.gif

Ask Aspire...he's doing bulk for BH-505 smile.gif

So...if I'm pretty much a noob, do you think I should install Nitdroid so I can play some good Android games? smile.gif
*
Asked already.Bulk is back on.Hopefully goes well.

Only reason why installed NITDroid was for the games only laugh.gif
So do chicaman.

If you want to play games with proper graphics like iOS games,I suggest you to go ahead and install NITDroid.The games amount might be less than iOS but still more than Maemo.
Minor amount of games might not fully working because of incomplete hardware coding.

This will be a ironic case.
You have to download FAPman through App Manager.It'll be the last act of App Manager if you decided to use FAPman permanently.

Let you connect to USB as a host instead of client smile.gif

Lot better
Correction,OTG allows N900 to act as host & client

Follow this method 1st.http://wiki.nitdroid.com/index.php?title=N900-Autoinstaller
If you have any problem reply here.

P/S:If dj_steve haven't updated the auto installer there is good chance you will get stuck at formatting ext3.

Solution here

QUOTE
To be able to install the "sudo gainroot" command you need to install a package called rootsh from the application manager first!

1. Open up the xTerm and become root with this command:
  sudo gainroot

2. First un mount the microsd card
  umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

3. For this step you need to know the capacity of your memory card. The Android partition can only be 2GB, so you need to create a FAT partition that is so large there will only be 2GB left. The number must be in MB, example some recommended sizes are 1, 100, 2100, 6100, 14100, 30100. If its 8GB you can choose a number like 6100MB, if its 4GB you can choose a number like 2100MB. If your memory card is 2GB or below, you can choose 1MB as a number If you do not do this correctly you will not be able to use Android Market!
sfdisk -uM /dev/mmcblk1 << EOF
,<YOUR NUMBER IN MB>,C
,,L
,,
,,
EOF


4. Unmount microsd again as maemo sometimes tried to mount
umount /dev/mmcblk1p1

5. The actual formating!
mkdosfs  /dev/mmcblk1p1
mke2fs -L NITDroid -j -m0 /dev/mmcblk1p2


The bolded part are the parts you need type in X-Terminal before proceeding again with auto installer.

If you have too much of issues,drop me a pm.I'll sort it out tomorrow.Still studying for my test tomorrow.
