he he he! (digging the carnage laugh)

ok seriously now!

I just want to say i have also fallen to the "leaked leak" this morning just before setting out for work.....

Didnt take me all of 15mins to find & set up...no forseeable problems here, just have a question as we all know the daunting task of installing all apps again comes next..

do the extra repos still work on this build?
Its been a while i've been in the repos, but i didnt think the "maemo.org cataloge" (installed by default ) would have such apps like drnoksnes e.t.c

I think i read somewhere they wouldnt work...not sure...need help, whos added what repos to pr1.2L

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

I installed it on this sunday and my repos are working fine without any modifications.

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

Sorry if this has been mentioned already.

does anyone know the code for pr1.2rc for the below.

ive tried generic, 002 and so on. searched high an low and now i'm stuck.


If your Settings - About Product is showing <unknown> after kernel mod: (It's not important but for those who care)
1. Launch xterminal
2. sudo gainroot (assuming you have rootsh installed)
3. apt-get install --reinstall mp-fremantle-generic-pr (this name can be different. instead of generic, it may be 002 or 003 etc)
4. reboot

Anyone noticed that now there is a separate volume setting for headphones and speakers. Not sure if this is PR1.2 but when connected to my car I have the volume on full. I uplug and it drops to near zero (my speaker default). Very handy as msuic no longer blasts out if I disconnect my headphones accidentaly when at my work desk :D

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

It was always like this, atleast on PR1.1.1.
And btw, there is a better solution for that, called headphoned or something like that, it stops the media player when it recognizes the headphones have been disconnected. (Kinda IPhone default behavior)

Headphone daemon is what you are referring to.

Did you create a backup before flashing? If you did, all you have to do is select Backup and hit Restore. All of your settings and app should come back. I did that and EVERYTHING was like before except for the loss of Quake3 and Brain Party.

Also, I did the CLEAR DEVICE in the PR1.2L..........brave, I know......and all it did was delete my user files. It KEPT all my applications AND my Full Rootfs problem.

I hoped it would clear Rootfs...oh well. I went ahead and reflashed and in a few minutes I have a brand new PR1.2 and 26GB free memory. Nice.

So everyone, don't expect Clear Device to set your N900 back to factory defaults, there isn't even an option to delete your applications......

I have also noticed that the Lock screen shows notifications now. If you have new messages, they may show below the slide to lock area.

In the media player, when listening to songs and you go back to the album list, you can get back to your song by pressing the new play button in the bottom right corner. If your song is currently playing, there will be a revolving swirl around the play button. I used to have to restart the song if I exited because I didn't see a way to get back to the active song.

I will post more info as I come across things. Feel free to ask questions.

@ Deaconclgi

Funny enough, i did create a backup on my p.c, however i'm not using it (not that sentimental to any data i dont have on my NAS, my laptop could tell you... i frequently format, dual boot & triple boot on the same drive )

& i dont just flash the firmware on my n900 when i do flash it (clocking 5 times now), I also flash the emmc as well so any phone saved backup is jolly well gone cuz you get an out of box (factory default phone)

only info i really need is my contacts & calender info anyway..which can be synced from my other phone or outlook...I enjoy the thrill of going through the motions of going for alternate apps to the ones i have had before (except some staples e.g categorise, )

p.s
you could get back to your "now playing" song on pr1.1 by pressing the little equalizer thingy in the same location as well.(i liked the equalizer thingy)
but at least media player now works as it used to before pr1.1 yipee..movie streaming is the shizzle!

Re: [Leaked PR1.2 RC] Info and Discussion thread
 

So would anyone here go back to 1.1?
Certainly not me. My N900 has been up for 4days and 12 hrs and that is with considerable trashing. Battery life is also much improved. I now have loads of widgets active and can run a busy day without carrying a charger.

There are a host of small things rather than major changes that have, for me at least, turned my N900 from good to great. I have found the odd bug (opening some emails with attachments for one) but none that detracts from a positive experience.
