theres every need to dig further bro cos that link gives something that does not work!
its full of jar files, how do i install that on my pc?
nothing happens when i click on the jar 'pcsuite, sis type' icons?

thats the second theme maker ive seen that dont work
unless im doing something wrong!

There are some amazing mods on this thread but unfortunately, like many others I haven't tried any due to the concern of bricking my phone.

Now my question is, how difficult would it be to create an app that could do all the UI changes via GUI (something like Tweekr) so that people like me who lack Maemo knowledge can also take advantage of these mods.

more status icons:

alarm on
3G 2G 2.5G 3.5G
signal

instructions in the download
back up your own files first
replaced 2G and 2.5G for 2stars

Ajamils,

These amazing mods are also possible for you,
even without an App.
If your using a wireless router the easiest thing to do is set up WinSCP on your computer and SSH on your phone,
thread and guide here:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...ghlight=WinSCP)
that will let you see the files on your phone, so you can edit them, if you can get that installed and connected you are set to go.
Mosts mods have exellent how-to's information included.
And it might look difficult but once you've got the 'hang' of it is
pretty easy to do.

For example, Me, a Meamo N00b AND a woman(!!)
managed in a day (with help of a great members on this board)
to edit;

- The color of my leds,
- changed my status bar to a clear one,
- changed almost every icon you can think of (even replaced the mediaplayer and Alarm icons with nice 3D ones),
- Installed some extra themes
- modified my IM and SMS conversations into the bubbles ones (with my female Pinkish backgrounds ROFL..)

And believe me if I can do it, everybody can....


And what IF you brick you phone???
just make sure you back up things,
read the manuals 5 times to be sure
and do exactly as described,
when hesitating ASK a Pro first.

Worst case scenario you have to reflash your phone.
Ok, I wouldn't be happy about that either,
but on the other hand you will always find somebody who will help you
And on top you learn so much from fiddling with you phone...

Am so glad I took the step into the Modding community and am more then 500%
satisfied with the look of my OWN Personalized like I want to phone..

(am almost afraid to show it to a sales guy in a phone-shop when they don't have it in stock yet,
it would be such a disappointment for them if they see a normal straight out of the box one.... ).

Next thing for me is to design some things myself.....and continue to update my phone.

Wanted to take this opportunity to thank everybody on Meamo.org
for their helpfulness and their willing to share their knowledge, you guys are great !!!!

so you are afraid that changing settings will brick your device but doing exactly the same with gui app doesn't?

yes, an app is doable but it is unsure that it will ever get to extras. and extras-testing is same old possible risk of bricking -story.....

and leetut, you dont know how to do searches from this forum?
e: here are some hints that you have user error with the app
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=38729

bro funny thing is this forum seems to have the easiest search function of any forum ive used!
so yeah i have searched this forum, what do you suggest i search for?
i dont 'have user error with the app' what so ever?
the app just does not work i.e. will not install, nothing, nada, zip, you get me bro
there is not even a program to install in that link you gave?
just 4 .jar files
they wont install in my vista32 pc?
so theme maker (both versions ive tried) do not work!
therefor ill keep changing the themes on my phone, is that ok boss

mscarrot,

Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I finally did some mods (changed LED colors, added reboot button). Since I couldn't get WinSCP to work with my N900 (constant connection errors) I did them the hard way.

Now looking forward to some more mods

Thanks for the info on the Reboot button, its just what i needed! And yes it works folks.

Be careful with what your doing if ur a newbie at hacking/tweaking/modifying
