Re: Give me a reason not to sell 810
 

I dont think the mer project is focused too heavily on the n8xx. They seem to be supporting alot of different devices like the smartq5 ect. Last time i was in the chat room people were saying the latest builds of mer were pretty much unusable on the n8xx.. Hopefully us n8xx users will be able to use mer and not have to buy new hardware to do so. There'
s no way id buy a smartq5 to use mer! Id get an n900 if it came down to it.

i would hope you sell it as soon as possible! i belongs in the hands of someone who has use for it. besides, it might bring the price down a few pennies, should i ever need a replacement.

I did this a long time ago. Currently my N810 has stock diablo on it as it got shelved for sometime.

You can read what I was able to accomplish using Mer as a base a while go, however:
here (way outdated setup procedures)
here
here
and here

I have not tried the newer Mer's yet. Don't know if anything significant has changed. Theoretically, as long as it's still using a Debian/Ubuntu base.. the same thing could be accomplished still by removing and adding the appropriate packages as I did.

There also existed several threads here on t.m.o on getting LXDE and GDM/Gnome setup and configured on the N810.

It's old and its an antique object lol. Selling it won't make much different. You would only end up with an extra 80 bucks in your pocket and it will be gone in just a few minutes of fun.

Re: Give me a reason not to sell 810
 

Ah, ok, I thought it was something different.
I actually tried lxde on mer at the time and made some modifications to the wiki.

I wouldn't mind buying it from you if thats the direction you're going.

try installing Firefox, and browser-switchboard to make it the default browser.

It has brought browsing right up to date on my N810, seems to be quicker than the default browser, and has tabs, location detection for google maps etc, and can sync passwords and bookmarks with firefox on a PC via weave.

I have also installed the frediablo theme to make diablo look a bit more like Maemo5. The dark theme alone gives it a fresher feel.
