Re: [How To] Have up to 9 home screens on N900 !
 
I added to the page another option that is known (in two cases) to solve the "black background" problem. Run the following commands, which should set 9 desktops with 9 images. After that, setting the desired number of desktops and setting their background should work.

Code:

cd /home/user/MyDocs
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do wget http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/backgrounds/$i.png ; done
gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/active -t list --list-type int [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 ; do gconftool -s /apps/osso/hildon-desktop views/$i/bg-image -t string /home/user/MyDocs/$i.png ; done

About modified-hildon-desktop not restoring hildon-desktop on uninstall - it is a bug that I thought I fixed in 1.12, but apparently I did not. I hope it is really fixed in 1.14. You can restore original hildon-desktop (with or without uninstalling modified-hildon-desktop) by reinstalling Nokia's hildon-desktop package:
Code:

apt-get install --reinstall hildon-desktop

Thank you Matan !

But tell me please if this action fix the problem of adding bg image from desktop ?
or I still need change bg image from command line ?

If it's not fixed, I don't know if I need change something, because of now it's work for me good from command line for all screens and without modified hildon-desktop installed on my phone...
It's work only with new hildon-home and hildon-desktop.launch file that stayed after uninstalling the hildon-desktop v1.13.


P.S. and now I don't have the problems with widgets ;-)

for me I can change wallpaper from pic..
like I go to my images folder and on top there is option for set as wallpaper.. since I cant change wallpaper from background showing black screen with 2 options so I used that way to change and I only can do 8 screen if I set 9 screen the 9th screen has bug whatever I put in there the deleted button keep showing on the widget or icons so Im using it 8 screens now

Well it's because it's not that easy to implement like adding extra homescreens horizontally (because this has been implemented, we are just adding homescreens)..

If you feel it's a waste of time, then feel free to write code or come up with a trick that can do what you're saying.. otherwise, why waste bandwith, typing words and all that just to say that this is a waste of time... :)

This is a bug in 1.13. Force un update by running the application manager and selecting update or by running the commands:
Code:

sudo gainroot
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
