770/4.2007.26-8/2G MMC boot

1) you should be running 2007He on you 770, the last 2 hacks should be fine.

2) Install Skype-ui, Menu>Tools>App Manager>Browse Installable apps>skype-ui

3) dl skype_1.7.62.48.5_armel.deb to a win PC desktop, http://catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com.../user/s/skype/

4) Use izarc for extraction skyhost. http://izarc.org/download.html, dl izarc and install, this is for vista, pick your izarc version, or google it.

5) associate .deb with izarc (when install izarc, they ask you for file association), click on file skype_1.7.62.48.5_armel.deb for extraction, upon viewing tree system from izarc, in folder skype_1.7...../usr/bin you will find skyhost, extract into your win desktop.

6) copy skyhost into your mmc card: and now your skyhost is on /media/mmc1
a) take card out from 770 and copy via a cardreader
b) USB cable copy
c) BT
d) setup tightVNC, there is a file transfer option. Setup 770 as X11VNC server, just click the x11VNC after
installation, there is no parameters to set, and you will not see anything after you click, it is 'silently' ON. then on your
win PC, run tightVNC viewer (Google and install, you do need to supply the ip address of your X11VNC, something like
192.168.x.x to connect to your 770, click on the icon with two square, that is the file transfer icon)

7) copy /media/mmc1/skyhost into /usr/bin, you need to be at root then run skyhost (install becomeroot will let you gainroot)
Start Xterm
~ $ sudo gainroot
/home/user # cp /media/mmc1/skyhost /usr/bin
/home/user # /chown user:users /usr/bin/skyhost

8) Menu>Skype, voila, start skyping....


Installed skype-ui 1.7.43.38.2.

enjoy!

But because I didn't have os2007HE I downloaded it and flashed my N770 using the Flasher3.0 under Ubuntu using USB1.1
I downloaded the OS from here:
OS2007HE - Latest


After that I had a very clean install to start with.
After I installed skype-ui I downloaded the skype-arlm packeg and extracted it to my desktop. I found the skyhost and copied it to /usr/bin and chowned it to user:users. I I must add that I started skyhost as root before. But I deleted the mentioned two files after that so that skype was clean from root again.

Then I excecuted skype from the menue again, but it still crashes while showing the splash screen, after about 18 seconds after clicking the skype button.

Thats it.

Any ideas?
