Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

Hello geeks?

Please could someone explain to me how I can begin with the catorise menu editing... i was looking for the text file to change the menu structure but i could not find it when i connected the phone through mass storage mode

How do i go about this please?

thank you.

I am saying the more app you open...at least 15 apps...it created a glitch in Catorise...and makes it unuseable...that's all!

Is it possible to get rid of the Science category? It seems like you hardly store anything there. It'll be better to create a category called "CONVERSATION" and you put contact, email, pidgin, conversation all in there rather than "NETWORK."

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

The file is /opt/catorise/menu, it is not exposed via mass storage mode. You can edit it as any user, but /opt/catorise/catorise needs to be run as root to enact the changes.

I know this isn't a step-by-step newbie-friendly tutorial.

Can you please raise a bug with the list of apps you've opened and take a screenshot of the result. It is almost certainly a bug in hildon-desktop.

I don't "store" anything anywhere. The categories correspond to the ones which which are available to packagers which were based on the freedesktop.org categories. The section is used within the Application Manager and maemo.org Downloads.

The names of the categories are taken from Application Manager's localised text for those categories and the applications within a category are decided by the packagers.

The only thing I've categorised are the built-in applications (which don't have valid information), if you think anything else is miscategorised it is a bug in that package.

If you get flasher-3.5 from tablets-dev.nokia.com, you can --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=disable-lifeguard-reset and then repeatedly press Ctrl-Shift-X during booting to resolve whatever error situation you are in (and the output of df -h would be useful).

Alternatively, you can reflash.

hmmm i was trying to flash it, but it didnt worked.

first:
i installed maemo_flasher-3.5_2.5.2.2 (for xp),
downloaded bin: RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM (Latest Maemo 5 Middle East and North Africa release for Nokia N900)

second:
i put the bin file in flash3.5 folder
then i connect the usb to phone using U to flash

in cmd command i type:
flasher-3.5.exe -F RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin -f -R

then i had msg back:
flasher v2.5.2 <Sep 24 2009>

RX-51_2009SE_3.2010.02-8.003_PR_COMBINED_003_ARM.bin: %m

and thats all, nothing happened

about your first option, i didnt understand where i type those commands

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

I'd stay away from R&D mode if you're not fully comfortable with what you're doing, SubSix...

Stick to the flashing - in your other thread about this, someone has posted a response that should get you flashing okay. You have to put the .bin file in the same directory as the flasher - that's why you got your error message.

Maybe you could delete the other thread as this is all being repeated now :)

Re: [Maemo 5] Catorise: auto-sort applications menu
 

ah true, i was in shortcut folder :P heh
now when i hold 'u' and connect device via usb it find it but when i type:
