Re: N9/x0: share how-to's/workarounds/mods/apps/other
 

Hallelujah someone actually shared something for the 1st time in yonks, thank-you!

Starting approx. 24hrs I won't be adding much content /wk, or keeping the guide organized.
This may be the case for quite some time, so...
I need others to help with adding new content, & keeping the guide clear/readable.

With the exception of one, those who have offered to be editors have done very little so far.
Of course they're under no obligation, but it would've been nice to have more help.
So if anyone else is interested in being an editor, just go to the guide & make the request!

Thank-you.

Re: N9/x0: share how-to's/workarounds/mods/apps/other
 

I've added home screen shortcuts for websites, but the icon generated is a tiny screenshot of the web page. Usually ends up being a white blob with some tiny type visible. (ie: yelp, google reader.)

I'd like to swap out the icons with ones that I create, but I can't find where the icons exist.. or if they do.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Re: N9 owners: answer questions & get help!
 

There's an easy fix for this problem! Check out this thread. Worked for me like a charm:

The thing is that Mobile Safari does not use favicon.ico but looks in the site's CSS code for "iphone friendly" PNG graphics and uses them to make the bookmark icon. Such an icon looks good (e.g. try bookmarking bbc.co.uk), but iphone icon-ready code is rather rare.

The browser stores its bookmark PNGs in
/home/user/.grob/l/

The desktop bookmark shortcuts are kept here:
/home/user/.local/share/applications/ as browser-*.desktop

.desktop files are simple text files. You can edit them using nano.

This means there are two ways to fix an icon: 1) you can simply replace an appropriate PNG from */.grob/l/ or 2) edit an appropriate .desktop so a bookmark uses a PNG of your choice.

Now, you can find a new icon or make one yourself, see here for photoshop (and not only) templates:

Excellent...Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

BTW, here's some custom N9 icons I created for different mobile sites that play well with the N9 browser. (Yelp, Amazon, Craigslist, Orbitz, Trip Advisor, Google Reader) Makes the bookmarks look like real apps!

I've made a few as well so far. Maybe it would be a good idea to create a separate thread for DIY icons like that?

Re: N9/x0: share how-to's/workarounds/mods/apps/other
 

Better idea than continuing that topic here....
But first check there isn't already a thread that focuses on this.
We don't want a dozen threads all discussing basically the same thing.

For the past wk I haven't been adding much content, or keeping the guide organized.
