did you guys notice, Nokia released new firmware for Nokia 5800.... V52...

come on, how old is that phone... 2 years ?

lets hope we get to see Maemo PR1.4 and PR1.5 at least...

PR2.0 is asking too much, because by then someone would have figured out how to OC N900 to 1500Mhz, add 512MB RAM and run Android 3.0 Gingerbread.... nah... just dream on....

yeah, cannot install the flash player final...

i haven't tried to manually replace the libflashplayer.so yet, it might work...

wow... someone bought the pad...

displaying mobile formatted web pages on such a big screen... such a waste...

facebook touch / iphone version will look like facebook interface for the partially blind on such a large screen...

yeah, *#7370# is for symbian only

you need to reflash n900 with 2 images, one for the OS (fiasco image) and another eMMC image for user storage (emmc vanilla) to get rid of everything... a.k.a factory reset

yup, manual update B should do the trick (first time i check what is manual update B in front page )

by image, we mean os image. not a picture...

image is a compressed file containing all the files in the exact manner how its going to be written to the destination disk.

just use it naked.

its already quite thick.... with another casing on top ???

+ 1

or with a good screen protector, you dont even need a pouch if you dont mix your keys and coins with your phone.

you see, the N900 uses matte plastic, with no coating on top. it wont get ugly if you use without pouch.

furthermore, the bezel is metal.

i dont like some phones that have painted surface, like most samsung, LG, even some new nokias have some non-slip rubberised coating that wears off and it gets fugly...

black matte plastic

dude, it wont fade....

5800xm has got rubberised coating... N900 no coating at all.... just plain plastic...

this shows he has been playing with his ipad and never touch his n900 for a very long time...

Added on December 4, 2010, 1:51 amyeah, dowloading the actual nirdroid image file is slow...

u see in conky, see if there is network data transfer...

if no data transfer then you might need to restart....

you know la.... malaysian isp got stable connection....

congratulations.

you might need some useful files from here...

browse from your android browser, search for an app called root explorer.

its file manager on drugs, you can access all system folders with root access.

because they forgot to include a default file browser in NITdroid.

then start surfing this site. lots of freeware android .apk files


http://www.freewarelovers.com/android

just download, browse with root explorer to Downloads folder and hit the .apk file, it will start installing.

do tell us if it works... kernel46 + omap1 and NITdroid using uboot....

since you want to migrate to uboot... meego is GO as well... quad boot

partial = it downloads only the subject of the email and/or some text to give you a preview of the email

full = downloads the entire email and attachments


the difference is,

partial = save on data transfer because it wont download the entire message - less MB usage, useful if you have a slow connection, slower when you open emails - it needs to be online as well.

full = faster to open emails from inbox since the entire email is already downloaded in its entirety. uses more MB, on a fast connection with no data limit (streamyx + wifi) it does not really matter.

but if you're the type that gets tons of junk emails, then i would advice to use partial method.

update your firmware...

latest is PR1.3

USSD function (*#XXXX#) not available in PR1.1

check front page for guide how to update...

install an app - root explorer

its a root enabled file manager...

its free...

Added on December 4, 2010, 8:35 pmyou can either remove or just rename the files.

for example - Launcher.ADW.apk rename to > Launcher.ADW.apk.bak

PS : you can use the default launcher - Launcher2.apk.bak

you will see this file in /system/app

rename it back to Launcher2.apk

and voila.... Launcher2.apk becomes the default launcher and replaces Launcher.ADW.apk

its much lighter and uses less RAM...

root explorer's good eh ?

LIKE I PROMISED EARLIER - files that you can remove safely from the /system/apps folder (or unsafely and break some stuff)

files that i removed safely anyway... it might be a bit more extreme than anyone ever tried.

but i dont use app market / google sync / any google stuff / maps / calendar / mms / phone function / sms / email

here goes.... a long list


the safelist - 100% does not affect anything
-------------
calculator
camera
certinstaller
deskclock
gallery3d
geniewidget
htmlviewer - (pdf viewer)
livewallpaper
livewallpaperpicker
magicsmokewallpapers
maps
passionquickoffice
soundrecorder
youtube

others that i removed (extreme - will break app market / many other functions - but still boots fine and can surf the net using wifi only & install apps from apk file, warning - will break 3G data)
-------------------------

applicationsprovider
calendar
calendarprovider
contacts
contactsprovider
googlebackuptransport
googlecalendarsyncadapter
googlecontactsyncapdater
googlefeedback
googlepartnersetup
googleservicesframework
marketupdater
mediaprovider
mediauploader
mms
networklocation
phone
protips
spareparts
telephonyprovider
vending

also you can replace the ADW Launcher with the Launcher2 to spare more RAM like i said earlier...

PS : you can restore if you break anything, just extract the files from the NITdroid.0.0.8.tar.bz file and put back in the system/app folder with the right permissions.

it will start working after reboot.

to make it easier, i copied the entire contents of the system/app folder to the SDCARD (eMMC) so that i can copy files back into real /system/app if i break anything.

Added on December 4, 2010, 11:23 pmWARNING : do not remove any other files other than what you see listed above, dire consequences.

believe me, i have experimented and i know the extreme.

you'll have a lean and mean NITdroid installation after removing all these files.

and you should have around 150MB - 160MB RAM after fresh boot, meaning apps will launch faster and have more RAM to work with (esp. web browsing is smooth)
