Ah yes, freedom. You don't like it? Go away. If I followed that narrow minded philosophy I'd be high on a mountain top beating Big Mac toting iPod carrying republicans with a crowbar trying to keep them off of the last square foot of Earth I could retreat to.

So in other news, anyone find any differences with the 2K6 Final yet?

Neither the Flasher770 GUI app, nor the command line version, flasher.macosx works for me. I get this error: Invalid FIASCO subblock count (2). I'm on Mac OS X. Wish I had access to a PC or Linux so I can apply these updates "officially" but I don't. Any ideas on how to make it work with a Mac?

As I've already done.


@the poster who mentioned freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech becomes much different when you begin reporting something. It's not as simple as people make it out to be. There are expectations that the editors and reporters should work up to. Sure there are slip ups as in every business, but do your best to maintain it and there isn't a problem. But if the reporters and editors don't live up to it you get yellow journalism which is what blogging has slowly become.

Has anyone found any changes from the beta to the final release (speed or features)?

Can't see many changes - some of the bugs reported (like 'updating' appearing in the top right corner when using the file manager) seem to have been resolved...

one annoying thing for me is that the virtual memory still only allows for 64MB and NOT the 1GB as promised.

Anyone have a script? (like wolframs old one?)

There's a link to tableteer.nokia.com, which has some downloads of themes, radio channels, and tha Maemo Blocks game. Nothing drastically different from the beta version. I noticed that the browser is more stable than before though [less crashing, no forced system resets so far]. I was able to restore from a backup of my beta settings, but passwords are reset in the browser.

My initial impressions:

- The Media players are much improved over the Beta (but I haven't noticed any difference over the v.2k5 yet). The video and audio that I could play on the old OS I can still play where I couldn't play them on the beta.

- new "tableteer" web shortcut on desktop instead of old Nokia one

- repository is now catalogue.tableteer.nokia.com

- can play mp3s and browse pictures at the same time again.

- the promised SIP doesn't seem to be included ... hopefully can be added later.

- Opera version 8.02 build 1.1.46 system armv5tejl, 2.6.16-omap 1

So it is pretty much functionally the same as the Beta but actually functional. It hasn't crashed on me yet and it isn't choking on the memory ceiling so it looks like they have been busy polishing.

Can someone list all the links in the 2K6 Final for those that want to see what's new? I would do it myself, but I restored my bookmarks which deleted the new ones. Thanks.

If so can someone send me a copy? I used the "apt-get install nfs-common" this worked great, I tried to use the kernel image on maemo, to add nfs and ipv6. That was apparently not a good idea.


&$%^&, did anyone figure out how to grab the image out of a temp file or something on windows when you download the image?

I really dont want to spend another 2 hours reloading my 770, I had just finished, what a maroon!!

EDIT 1
I guess I should have read the whole thread, I can download the bin now

EDIT 2, I downloaded the bin file and unpacked the kernel from the image and reflased it, worked great. I guess I have to wait for someone to put out a new kernel to support NFS
