Well I have finally borked my n900 and need to reflash it for the first time since Christmas.

I have updated it a little since then with the cash power kernel etc.. have been playing with themes and games but not a lot else. It has been getting a little cramped recently and now I am unable to launch any programs from the desktop, cannot access the folders within app menu due to the message "no applications" and can only make calls by opening up the handset and typing to select a contact. It is now nothing more than a basic ringer lol

So, that will be this weeks project and I was wanting to ask you maemo-ians what patches, apps etc.. Would you recommend for a freshly flashed n900?

Thanks

1. Flash using either the 8GB or 5GB custom emmc.
2. After flashing the latest firmware from Nokia, install CSSU.
3. I have karam's speed and battery patch but not the one's from the repo, haven't updated them for a long while. dunno what the latest buzz about those patches are but they do help.
4. NITDroid. I don't usually use but it's nice to have options.
5. Backupmenu. Definitely a must-have.
6. h-e-n. (power kernel required)

you can look at my way of installing apps/program after re-flash....
HERE the step....
till now i got no problem (no random reboot,hildon crashes & etc)....
