think most of the sifus/linux users know this already, just to add some info if anyone dont know it yet.

two command in xterm/linux that is really useful.

1. ls - to list files in the directory. similar to dir in DOS. use this to check if your .deb is really in that folder before dpkg

2. up key in direction keypad - toggle latest command in command prompt similar to F3 in DOS. useful indeed.

well, you can copy paste codes from the sifus/fp but then i find typing things makes you remember commands and makes you a better user.

revert to default?

pondering to do it since yesterday as swappolube is quite good too..

hahaha Jagged Alliance..addicted to that a long long time ago. lol. uber game. one of my all time favourites.
if you are into s-rpg Eiraku, try out SNES Ogre Battle : March of the Black Queen. hardcore stuff.

hehe, got my set about 1 week+ ago, so can do what i cant on wifey's set...

1.1k for a sept '10 zitron set + pouch. wifey's set better deal 1050 june'10 zitron with pdair + boxwave metal case +mugen 2400 battery.

anyway, what i did.

1. flashed using FP flash step B. i have done both OTA and flash and i really recommend using flash due to the lower risk of messing things up.

2. powerkernel 46 + swappolube + kinetic scrolling + status menu - who says resistive touch is slow ?heheh.

3. preenv and webos games. ( still need to move them to mydocs, my 2gb is left only 340mb now) . nfsu, nova,settler, assasin creed, sims3, hawx..

4. xtra decoder, mplayer, sim.

5.sygic albeit 9.

6. maemocjk ! hahaha this nails it.

7. coming soon, will buy a microSD for ubuntu. and then sapgui. sapgui on a mobile phone..baha (though you cant call from it though, last i read)

oh, btw add me to the userlist. sorry for not informing earlier.

pm me your banking details bro. thanks!

success.

i admit reading all those repartition guide maketh me dizzy. end up i follow the hex route. hex the RE.bin and change the ext3 to 21gb instead of 2 gb. did ponder whether to change the swap partition to more than 768mb but they said minimal differences so leave it at that.

highly recommended. safest and fastest way to change that 2gb to 21gb and after that if i am not mistaken you can gpart the 21gb.

credit goes to radicalz38.

http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=351...SD+ext3&page=24

1.download hex editor neo (i am using winxp)
2.open the vanilla emmc file, the one that is renamed to RE.bin in FP.
3.you will see the file size on the left side. CHANGE the hex value and do not insert the value. follow the math as per describe by radicalz38 for the partition size 1gb=1024mb.
4.i reflash both the pr1.3 and vanilla (R and RE) so no comment if you wanna do only vanilla. experiment at your own risk.

5. normal backup wont cut it as you are flashing the internal memory and it will wipe out all your data including your backup image..lol. (my mistake)

recommend using this to backup first and restore it afterwards. ( i only found this after i reflashed to repartition my n900...lol)

bear in mind that for the camera to save pic and vids, you still need the VFAT partition.

cheers. thats what i did and it works for me(21gb of ext3). again, do it at your own risk.

its because you are formatting and installing an OS to a computer. not a phone.

i use this.

http://www.boxwave.com/products/armorcase/...a-n900_3800.htm

might be a bit bulky to some but i find it quite good. snugly fit too.

nods.handstrap helps a lot.otterbox or equivalent enables you to slide straight away. i got this for free so i stop the notion to buy an otter. it is a good case.

hehe power46+h-e-n works flawlessly. btw i try only power46 and h-e-n. didnt dl all the sript.figured everything is inside hen.

test playing a mkv from pendrive. no problemo.

prolly gonna buy a usb-ethernet adapter next month and test it out.

big thanks to super_evil_alien

dl easy debian atm. will ask sifus if i face any problem. hehe.

use faster application manager.

@Eiraku

bleh. i just bought a af-af
one thing for sure, females sure is fragile....huhu.

A Female to A Female.

OC is one thing, but before OC why dont you try swappolube. its effective.

snappy window transition.

after reflash i have yet to install hildon kinetic scrolling but even with swappolube its fast.

i have mugen power. it sure is a powerhouse but the battery indicator doest work properly with that battery.

1. full for xx hours and then red almost empty.
2. after 1,2 empty and full recharge the bar went down almost normal but if you reboot it'll go to full again.

my exp though. now back to normal battery coz i just bought cr-115 car holder. it cant hold n900 with the extension cover on the back.

still is the best phone that i have used to date.

give maemo5 a shot. to me the ergonomics is spot on. people say its abit thick but when youre typing on it or holding its feels good.

check text input in seeting. check whether virtual keyboard is tick or not.
