Both of them good thoughts, though. Makes sense to me.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Here's some info about icon cahe removal https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5450#c34

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

After the update to the new firmware (44-1) the command still returns "Linux Nokia N900-42-11".

A bug?

I hope this will not cause any further problems (app manager checking current version before doing another firmware update?)

Btw; the date at the end of the version string has changed to "Fri Dec 11 13:33:12".

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Thanks for the link. So as suspected it's a hack. It happens to have both postitive and negative side effects, but probably worthwhile overall.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

yed that'd deffinatly better. mine is always on 93 whith no messages. still wander if that is the defined location for apps as that is always full. I cant download the update now because my destinylocation is full.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Sure wish everyone could just see the changelog in HAM. Like this bug. Vote. :)

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

My App manager is missing the icons - I just have the titles. I tried the obvious reboot - any suggestions?

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

could it be that the cpu usage is now lower after the update? my cpu widget shows constantly 2% in idle, i think it was 3-4% before. could anyone confirm that? if its true, the device would have more battery live time.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Are you using 3rd party theme? They don't support new icons yet. Official ones from Nokia should have new icon.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Bingo - spot on. I was using 'Reflect' from extras.

Now I'm using 'alpine' in advance of tomorrow's weather. :D

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

release early, release often.

:cool::cool:

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

No, this is the name your N900 have. ;)
Edit /etc/hostname to change it for something else you like it. :)

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Do we know if this affected bluetooth at all? I just bought a set of bluetooth headphones, which seemed to be working just fine on the weekend.granted I only listened for about 10 minutes on the weekend and they worked fine, but now when I use them, they cut out and back in at intervals of anywhere between 10 seconds to 1 minute. Is this a known usual that I never noticed before or is it new? Is anyone else experiencing this? Just thought I'd ask before re-formatting back to 42 to test the issue.

EDIT

Nevermind, been testing the old firmware, drops just as much.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Hi.

I've found a little thing that has changed. You are no longer bumped up to the top of the applications list after you've installed an app.

Nice.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

So what about red pill mode? Gone forever now? :/

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Grr. I consider that a regression :( I do not want the device suddenly making a noise that everyone else can hear when I'm listening on headphones thinking it's quiet for everyone else.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

I think you might be right. Before the browser was using 4% constantly when it had a window backgrounded containing a static page - from this site. It's dropped a lot.

Or it might just be the fresh reboot effect.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Wasn't red pill mode a holdover from Diablo and earlier? I don't seem to quite grasp what it did, although I do recall many people who have been here a while advising against using it on the N900.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Ironically, I came across a thread some weeks ago with some N900 users complaining that they wanted the ringtone to play in the headset and the phone as well so they didn't have to wear the headset all the time. This was when the ringtone would only play in the headset and not one the phone whislt connected.

Keeping the phone in silent with vibrate on while wearing the headset would be a solution.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Is there an official changelog? Im interested in knowing what really has changed.
seems like my gmail is actually syncing now.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

its always the same problem! with nokia devices. always they make the root memory too low! why isn't nokia learning from their mistakes. how many times didn't we read about people having problems with the n97 saying not enough memory when trying to install and open programs.

they could easily make it 16 GB by now! the internal memory of the n96 was 75 mb after a few months it allready was full and when trying to install ovi maps 3.0 i got the message like 7 times in one installation.

This is stupid it really is! some one should make a fix to readress memory to other partitions!

Second of all this was not the release some people were testing! this is 44.1. the version a few in the community are testing is 51.1 so this is a minor fix. i really hope the next one will come soon and be a biggy

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

It made destroying a working N900 as easy as clicking a few buttons. :D

Don't worry, the only ones who are sad to see that go are the ones who shouldn't have been using it. You're not missing out on anything.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Hint: Red pill mode will allow you to browse the OVI store and install stuff directly.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

i noticed that after the update conversations tries to sign in all accounts until success. in the old fw it stayed offline on some accounts after an error, until i signed off from everything and then back on
red pill gone means we' ve got to dpkg deb files? I would like to have a gui method. Hate console-ing on this keyboard.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Red pill mode has been disabled in this release.
one good change i have noticed which seems to have gone unmentioned is when you install an application in manager. It stays at the application place where you where instead of going back to the alphabetical start that always drove me mad. Little things make me happier.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Not getting it. I have yet to see how a special mode offers more "direct" installation than using apt-get on the command line, or what Red Pill mode had to do with the Ovi Store.

Considering that at the time the N900 was designed the largest chip that existed was 256MBytes, I hardly think this is surprising. At least there is an internal solution (reserving 2GB of the internal 32GB), unlike on the Android devices.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

And how I can remove some libraries which were installed as dependency after application removal? (for exam: gonvert pulls libilluminate0 and after removal of it libilluminate0 still leaves on device). Yes, I know about apt-get autoremove but this is weapon of mass destruction. Blue pill Application Manager doesn't show any library at all.

The second question to people who did install PR1.0.1 about red pill absense - with PR1.0 (42-11) Application Manager shows only 'user' section of repository.maemo.org catalogs and doesm't show 'admin' etc without red pill. How do I get access to this in Application manager? Or we all need to go back to command tools?

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Both of the issues are easily and effectively solved by the use of apt-get.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

I suppose this calls for an auto-cleanup or a "Cleanup" button in the Application Manager. I like having the console as much as any other *nix geek here, but reclaiming space used by unused packages shouldn't require it (especially with apt.)

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Agreed, could you create a bug for this? However, before creating it, make sure it doesn't already exist in the bugtracker. Creating bugs really is the most effective way to improve the quality of Maemo as a whole.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

I just updated with apt-get because no update showed up in application manager... But settings->about still reports old software version.
I think this update didn't perform the /dev/mtd1 update, since osso-product-info shows old version as well.

Is there a way to update /dev/mtd1 so not to have to flash from scratch?

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

My General, I know about 'rm -fr' - it works better. I even still remember last time then I used 'clri' command ... but I believe that automation of process and simplifying our life is a goal.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Actually NO. More precisely - this definitely would be nice but my call is to have a single interface to application management but not many. 'apt' interface is powerful, but there is 'aptude' for a reason. And Hildon Application manager (+ PackageView, of course) gives (ok, looks like .. gave) some power to GUI application management.

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

hmm... they renamed Extras in the application catalogs to maemo.org. Any way to change this back?

/etc/hildon-application-manager/catalogues is no help...

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

In the app manager, click on the catalog and rename it :D

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

I updated mine and its not even close to that image, mine its still tha same way wtf?

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

You can't. In fact, you can't rename or delete any of the pre-installed catalogs from within app manager. Come on now, I'm not THAT daft...

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Dargo, do you have one of the pre-installed themes selected or a custom one? Cathy was having the same problem until she switched back to default theme

Re: 1.2009.44-1 Changelog?
 

Ups sorry, I've a different FW version, but that's a bit strange, why on earth the user can't personalize the name of the repositories o_0.
