RENAMING MENU ITEMS

go to /usr/share/applications/hildon/
change the text after 'Name=' to what ever you want
i was hoping to remove the text from the menu but if i delete the name and leave it blank it always shows 'Project-Id-Versio' instead of showing no text, cant seem to figure that one out, but im just a maemo-n00b! hoping someone else can find a solution to totally removing the text from the first menu screen





* but leaving the name blank causes this:

... didn't find out how but by removing the "Name=" the app will not show up at all!

And by testing names, it froze two times.. I'll stay out of that for a while

menu froze for me a few times too, then i learned that when saving the new name on pc via winSCP have the menu on phone open, menu will close itself when file is saved, wait 5 seconds then open phone menu, you may see 'no applications' but menu quickly loads in after that, i also noticed the app dissapearing if i removed 'name='
im also looking for how to change other text in apps if anyone knows how

infact i fixed it yesterday by uninstalling OpenSHH from phone, and WinSCP from pc
and reinstalling them

but i wake up today and its not working again
and reinstalling does nothing
Replied here.

I think it's generally considered a bit of a faux pas to cross-post, especially over such a short period of time...

Cheers,

(not sure if this has been posted in this thread yet, I don't remember seeing it)

To mod or get rid of the grid background that displays in the web browser while pages are loading/rendering, change the following:

/usr/share/tablet-browser-view/background.png

Thanks for that but I wish I had good linux knowledge so what I thought could be useful to use WINSCP as long as you can set up n900 ssh server to transfer files very easy from windows PC. But how do I set up SSH between n900 and pc?

needless to say how to do but in case..

Code:
$ root
make backup!

Code:
$ cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/statusarea_ba* /home/user/MyDocs/backupbattery48x48/
$ cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/statusarea_b* /home/user/MyDocs/backupbatteryscalable/
Put the new battery icons

Code:
$ cp /home/user/MyDocs/doombatt48x48/* /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/
$ cp /home/user/MyDocs/doombattscalable/* /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon/
$ reboot
Dude that is awesome! Is there any way that this type of thing would ever be a downloadable-type package? Awesome either way dude!

I think it could be a good idea to edit your first post and add the wiki link for newcomers.
