New to N9
I just an N9, what an amazing device! I have been looking through the forums and see all these tweaks I can do to the device. And I don't know which ones to install. Is there a recommended set of tweaks and updates that most everyone has? Is there a place to get apps that are not in the store? Basically, I am coming into the N9 game really late and hoping to get it running as smoothly as possible without having to spend hours going through every possible tweak, update, and patch out there.

Re: New to N9
I highly suggest installing this;
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ight=n9-qtweak And this; http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...light=fastern9 The first one has all the imaginable tweaks you can think of, including adding other non-Ovi store repositories for software. Second link is for speeding up transitions, etc. Really does make the whole experience quicker, especially once you have a lot of applications installed. I used to have stuttering issues when scrolling up and down due to a lot of icons.. after FasterN9, it just flies. slaapliedje |
And once you install Inception using N9QuickTweaks, you can overclock using this link:

Re: New to N9
And then again, some people have not installed any of those tweaks, but instead prefer to have own scripts and own SW on the device, including a custom-built kernel...
It all depends on what do you want to do with your device, do you use it just as an andvanced (iDevice-like) feature phone or do you use it more like you would use a computer :D |

You can probably find as many preferences for tweaks as there are users on this forum. And thats simply what most tweaks are. One person might want the UI behave differently from the next one. I for myself have one phone running openmode kernel and one incepted device. If one likes to tweak the basic linux userland and system stuff (partitioning, swap usage, startup processes, shells etc.) stuff by hand, then the openmode is easier and less prone to errors. Much of that tweaking is just for fun of it and rest might be for some functinality/feature that particular user finds useful and wants to enable on the device. If you want to overclock or add occasional user interface tweak, then Inception will suffice. About installing apps out of store. Go to: Settings->Applications->Installation and allow installs for non-store software. Then just search the web for what you can find. As a bottom line, N9 is just fine. If you feel it lacks in some area then search for some tweaks for that particular purpose apply them and see if you like it any better. Otherwise, don't worry about it and enjoy using your phone. Remember that hardware has it's limits and don't expect miracles. Harmattan is pretty impressive as it is. |

Re: New to N9
Hi there,
I am fairly new to the N9 too and I still couldnt figure out how to set the data connection on the phone right. Either its not connecting at all on 3G or WLAN, even in the intervall I set for example in the mail app... or it just stays connected forever. Now that I installed Wazapp, it just got worse. If its not connected, and I come from lockscreen, the Connect tab just opens like every 2 seconds and forces me to connect, even if I have no reception for 3G... This is like the only big letdown on the phone so far... but I have the feeling I just didnt got the options for the connections right. There is no autoDisconnect app, like in maemo, which disconnects from mobile data connection/wlan after a specified time? |
Re: New to N9
I find status menu Tweak to be indispensable ! :)
Its available with N9 QTweak suggested by slaapliedje |

@schokopudding
what's the problem with network? if you need it, turn it on (either wifi or 3g) If you don't need it, turn it off...(this is if you are using manual connection) if 3g is set to connect automatically,you are always online...(except if you don't have reception ;) ) wazapp requires a permanent connection either over 3g or wifi if you don't have reception or wifi you need to shutdown wazapp (this is a stupid problem no one seems to care about ;) ) |
Re: New to N9
I know i can leave 3G data on all day, but its draining my battery.
If i leave Wazapp closed, and Im on PSM, 3G is only connecting if an App needs it, and it shuts down data connection afterwards. Im just tired of using Wazapp, if it requires to stay on data connection for the whole time. Isnt there an option to just set the Wazapp account to "offline" and "online" via terminal? So I could get it to connect for 15min every hour or so via profilematic. And even if I have Wazapp on and I lose data connection, its really a pain in the *** to close it down, as the connection prompt will come up so often and quickly I barely can close wazapp... |
@schokopudding
I know about the connection issue of wazapp and it is really irritating but unfortunately no one else seems to mind and I cannot fix it,sry |
