Guyz...it's been a while..

Argh..i wish i can install cssu using the deb package.. Got limited wireless connection recently..

Btw..need to reflash back my phone..haha all inside the phone already become messy..hoho
Wish me luck!!

maybe he tinkering the phone too much causing it to fetch extra memory space to boot

yeah i was having the same thoughts

I dont know? but that's what happened. Special case maybe?
Gave me quite a scare.
Initially I tot my eMMC was dead.

the problem is memory. there are some tricks to fix this. i have a script that runs at 5am everyday to defragment the swap partition. with 12 days uptime the phone feels like it has just been freshly rebooted. no lag at all.

unfortunately, due to the latest cssu update, i had to reboot my phone. lost the uptime. but i know my solution works.

hi all. new to this thread. been a n900 owner for 2 years. bloody good phone and i still love it to bits!

Hmm, I just realized it, the current CSSU seems to be the smoothest N900 experience I've ever had so far. Even now I can't stop tapping the screen and browsing from screen to screen just to feel the smoothness... I had 6 homescreens LOL.

type this in the xterm: gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/ui_can_rotate -t bool true

if you want vertical scrolling type this after entering the command above: gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/scroll_vertical -t bool true

Added on January 27, 2012, 4:35 pmhye guys. just found out about this thread/forum recently. didn't know that there are a lot more Maemo users out there as well! so first of all i'd like to show my N900 that i've owned since May 2010 (almost 2 years now). it's in stock state now after playing with numerous stuff (Nitdroid, Debian, Ubuntu, CSSU, etc). i get bored easily so when i was done playing with all of it i reflashed it. so here's a couple of pictures of my beloved device:

the leather casing that i am using is from PDAir which i bought for 30 USD. another brand that i would recommend for a premium feel would be Melkco, but the magnetic stud seems a bit bigger though.

and if there's anyone wondering about 32gb memory cards on the N900, here's a photo of my Sandisk 32gb Micro SDHC Class 4. i got it shipped from the states. apparently there's a new memory card format called SDXC, which its capacity is currently at 64gb Class 6, the highest so far. i did not have a chance to test it yet, so if anyone who has tried it, do let us know if it works.

All right, I forgot to tell you guys that someone over at talk.maemo.org has finally made 720p playback (and recording) possible on our beloved N900!

Here

Although, smoothness is another factor. But then again this solved another problem I had with... um, 480p MKVs encoded in H.264 profiles higher than Baseline (which, IIRC, the N900 can play without any problem).

Disclaimer: attempt this at your own risk.

@FlameReaper-bro..i still not success to set portrait wallpaper..can u tell me how u do it?
what i have done so far..
-copy paste the command u give to xterm but nothing happen...
-when i try to type the command, it ask me specified certain value, double check n confirm i write it right..
tq...

you already install CSSU stable ah? if you already install that then the command should work.

no...im not install CSSU stable but CSSU testing...

Well if you want a end-user experience and don't want to risk the instability of the testing version, then i would recommend you to install the stable version. But if i am not mistaken the command should work the the testing version as well.

jin_akira ,where do you get that Pdair case...n how much ?

i bought it at their site bro for 30 USD (i forgot how much it became after convert). they shipped it to me after 10 days like that after making the order. i highly doubt that they sell in Malaysia cause accessories for the N900 are really hard to find. if you can't buy it online, try checking THIS thread out. i haven't try it out myself, so you should ask around there first.

Nothing much, just my homescreen out of six showing the media widgets.

nice. show all six..

Showing all six. Wallpapers hasn't changed, but now using the Harmattan (N9) icons pack.

nice one bro.. u certainly had done a lot of work there..

im just finish reflashing my device.. OC until 950MhZ i was messed up a bit edi...

I got myself the Xperia Pro for about a month+ already; need a qwerty...

Despite that, I still go back and use my N900 occasionally... nothing can replace the N900 up till date... it's still the best internet tablet smartphone... best PC like experience...
Even with all the "boombastic" browser and latest Flash in Android, chrome-like Dolphin browser, Firefox, Opera, etc... none can beat the dinosaur-age Maemo browser.... My productivity and what I can do in, went down when using Xperia Pro... no true-multitasking is a real pain, selecting certain text to copy is real pain, no short-cut keys like "ctrl+A","ctrl+v", "shift+cursor", etc. is a real big pain, no mouse cursor activation can sometimes be problem when navigating DHTML or interactive site.

Playing videos with Maemo was the LEAST problem, except for high bitrate and/or resolution... With other OS, so many issues and limitation.

Why oh why... how I wish Maemo is continued to be enhanced and updated... and a new device like N900 with better spec is introduced; With today's processing power and ram + Maemo OS, it'll be a gem...
No, N9/MeeGo is NOT a replacement, it doesn't live up to what Maemo offers, except maybe for true multi-tasking.

Unfortunately, fluidity and apps are all the rage now. If you asked me, Nokia isn't really going to sell much of these Maemo devices because using it is a little bit too complex for all the average users out there. We enjoy it cause we know how to avert the shortcomings and use it to it's fullest potential. It'll be disastrous however to make this a mainstream device if they can't find a way to make it more user friendly.... it's concept was also way beyond it's technology advancement during that time hence leading to a lot of bugs and unfinished aspects of the phone...

Still an avid N900 user here though.
