Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

Hehehe, Just made my charging light a rather strange purple colour. What would be usefull is a list of colour combos that can be acheived, especially for non artistic people.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

Reboot option in power key menu (thanx to members in this thread)
Operator logo (changed from vodafone to Biggzy)
Brightnes applet in the drop down status area

thats it so far lol, there will be more soon im sure.

I was thinking the same thing... someone has to try and and then do:

cat /var/lib/dsme/boot_count

and see if it's increasing...

Also, IM/SMS/email should be something like purple, yellow, blue to have different indication depending on the source... :-)

How do you modify the radio power? can you verify it's working? :-)

Also, i keep seeing these camera icons in the power button menu, how do you get those and what are they for? :-)

1. download this file, remove '3' from filename.
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...ildon_desktop3
2. copy to root dir of phone and disconnect phone from pc
3. open xterm, type:

sudo gainroot [enter]
cd /home/user/MyDocs [enter]
chmod a+x hildon-desktop [enter]
mv /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch.org [enter]
mv hildon-desktop /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch [enter]

4. Install "dbus-scripts.deb" FILE ATTACHED

5. Copy http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hdk-scripts to /etc/dbus-scripts.d

6. Copy http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hdk to /usr/local/bin (making sure it is executable)

<shift><ctrl>H takes you to home screen.
LEFT and RIGHT keys change desktops
<shift><ctrl>f launches FBreader
<shift><ctrl>b opens a new browser window, and a few other shortcuts.

# in the application menu (launcher) and window switcher:
q - selects the top left thumbnail/icon
w - selects the top, second from left
...
a - selects the left of the second row

And so on. In addition, in the window switcher pressing shift or FN together with the letter closes the window instead of moving to it.

Currently configuring shortcuts is by editing the python script /usr/local/bin/hdk.

SOURCE THREAD:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38314

trying this out but get a message
unable to install 'dbus-scripts' incompatible application package.

any ideas what could be wrong?
