sorted..was installing dev ...lol oh well thanks and workking now

Hi, this is my first post so please be kind to me

I have downloaded the tweakr 0.0.12-3 file to my phone Nokia N900, is there a specific place to as to where this should be stored?

Currently it is stored in - file manager - Nokia N900 - docs

No previous history of Linux or maemo before so my posting will be those of one who could take a bit of time to get used to things so any help is greatly appreciated.

the file needs to be installed, you will have to :
- put the tweakr file under "Nokia N900"
- install "rootsh" in the application manager (if you can't find it in the list, click on the top bar of the application manager, "application catalogs", "maemo extras", and untick the "disabled" box. Should allow you to find and install rootsh).
- launch "X Terminal", type "cd MyDocs", enter, "sudo gainroot", enter, "dpkg -i tweakr_0.0.12-3_armel.deb", enter.

that should be enough to install, now to use Tweakr, go to the settings, the Tweakr icon should be at the bottom.

And welcome in the Linux world and in the Maemo world

Many thanks for this.

it has now worked

Hello again -

I think I must be doing something wrong somewhere but for the life of me I cannot figure it out so I must be the most simple person ever to grace these forums.

The tweakr icon (which comes up as a ?) is listed and these are the steps that I have been doing.

Settings - personalisation - profiles

I then amend / tweak the profile accordingly and then save it,which brings me back to the main personalisation screen.

I then open tweakr and click on "save current profile as new profile" and then give it a new name "Night" and then I click save again.

However when I look in the status menu i do not get the spanner and screw driver icon and when i check in profile presets nothing is listed including the night profile I thought I had just created.

Obviously I am doing something wrong somewhere but where lol.......if I had half a brain cell then I would indeed be dangerous

I am determined not to let this beat me, so any help or assistance is very welcome indeed.

Here is a walkthrough on how to install Tweakr if you are facing problems - http://maemocentral.com/2010/01/09/t...-to-your-n900/

Also, you can use an application called 'Powatool' to remove the 'Profiles' menu from the status bar and have even more seamless integration. Details in the post above.

Thanks for this killer app!

One things though, icons for the application don't seem to be showing up on my device. I've tried re-booting and have even switched a theme. Any ideas?

Why is it listed here but not available in HAM?

the first time i installed tweakr i had no probs, the 2nd time the icons didnt work like u mention.. the difference was the 2nd time i was using the global version firmware, the 1st time US firmware..........

just re-flashed my n900 to US firmware, will update when i know if this fixes icon problem..

Because its category is not user/*...

okay so its nothing to do with firmware.. i think ive lost the icons when i flashed my device...........
