I have just received ny N810 and I have immediately flashed it to Diablo before making anything else.

Now I begin to install applications from the Downloads section of the Maemo site..

Everything works fine until I install "USB Control". The installer begins working and after a few seconds says that "the installation is impossible" !!

Howabout forget the prog and use a shortcut instead?

you have to have becomeroot installed, get it here, http://eko.one.pl/maemo
bora
user

xterm
sudo gainroot

make your shortcuts (see below).

draw your shortcut, say uh, you are host; or when finished; draw your shortcut uu, you are unhost (OTG). You can keep doing it for fun. works on chinook and diablo.

USB host
uh: echo host > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

USB unhost/OTG
uu: echo otg > /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode

Somehow bring up the onscreen keyboard, Menu>Input method>Handwriting.

I just found out that there is 2 ways one can set the HWR speed, and I am NOT sure which one takes precedent. You can either go into Control panel>Text input settings or Menu>Tools>Settings. I set them both to the minimum, to have the fastest interpretation.

Menu>Tools>Settings>Handwriting speed set to the lowest. This is the biggest counter intuition Nokia has done. minus means fast, the interpretation is eye-blinking fast, while plus means slow, the interpretation takes forever. I believe most people complaining about the handwritten recognition is poor because they probably set this damn thing to a 5+ and thinking that is the fastest! Anyhow, set it to the lowest, you would be surprise the handwritten recogn is better than palm! This is the biggest counter intuition I have ever seen.

Now you are ready to program your shortcuts for repetitive typings. There are at least Shortcuts (Western) and Shortcuts (Greek) and a 16 shortcuts each for a total of 32! You can have your tablets to remember 32 typings you always use, OMG!
Menu>Tools>Teach handwriting:
Input type: choose Shortcuts(Western),
Phrase> Edit: type the phrase you use repetitively, say, "Why are you so difficult?". Just type the phrase, no quotations
Pattern>Edit: draw anything you want except it CANNOT be similar to patterns that already exist, say draw a dumb triangle.

Bingo. From now on, everytime you draw that pattern, a dumb triangle, the phrase comes up nicely, be it xterm, web address, gnumeric or even maemo mapper!

Much more shortcuts info in the above threads. I got so attached to shortcuts, that it is the 2nd thing I made after becomeroot in any of my flash upgrade, it is just way too convenient. There is NOTHING you cannot shortcut, some of the commands are like 3 lines 80 words long command, you shortcut it! HA!
That also works for long bookmarks.
Please post how you like it, TIA,

Becomeroot can't be installed on my N810 with Diablo. So any other way?

@Bunanson: I'm very newbie in Linux OS.. So can you explain to me in very simple way how to input script to improve or modified the Maemo/App installed?

There are many way to get root. I use becomeroot; watchout, it is bora, not chinook or diablo, type the exact repo at the beginning of this thread, the eko repo. They should get you installed. I just tried it, and it work.

A script is a drawing. there is no tricks to it. Say your Maemo/App requires you to enter asdfghjklzxcvbnm, then you made a drawing for that under Tools>Handwriting recognition>Input type and choose Shortcuts. Edit your Phrase asdfghjklzxcvbnm and Edit Pattern, say draw a triangle.

Then everytime you need to input the phrase asdfghjklzxcvbnm, you just draw a triangle instead. Much more discussion here, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...189#post192189, thread #1, #10, #63

On the other thread, the shortcuts thread, I listed quite some shortcuts for most average user. And some small utilities progs here too, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...ad.php?t=21651, this one has USB host button on the desktop. Did you get your usb device working yet?

Bard;

There are lots of ways to get root. I like EasyRoot. Look Here:

Regarding scripts; I think of a script as being like a .bat file in windows... a bunch of commands executed by the shell interpreter. Bunanson described what I call handwriting shortcuts, which I use all the time.

I just know that to become root on diablo really easy. I don't know if I'm wrong, but I read somewhere here i just need to input "sudo gainroot" on X-Terminal to do that. Or maybe it need some app/file installed, before it works, but it works on my N810, maybe because I already install quite many app/file from application manager

About USB Control, I really dumb! it already installed on my N810, I just realize I installed it via app manager-installable app. the one app I miss is just USB OTG. I search on garage.maemo I found USB OTG plugin. Once I install it, USB Control works very good!!
