im trying use this, but i think i must have downloaded something wrong earlier because when i type root is get.

Nokia-N900-42-11:~#

shouldn't it be?

/home/user #

i do get this access if i type sudo gainroot. but still cant install since it cant find the correct dir.

wonder if i should reset my phone to factory setting if that helps because i dont wanna do a reflash. what should i do?

Then open terminal (you need to have rootsh installed), type root, hit enter then type:
Code:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/transitions.ini /usr/share/hildon-desktop/
i installed rootsh..and then i opened x terminal..did exactly ur steps but nothing happened...should i hit enter after i write the code?

cp is copy command and it functions:
cp source target
SO you can make backup for example:
Lets first change directory
cd /usr/share/hildon-desktop
And then make backup of file in this directory
cp transitions.ini transitions.backup
Now you have two files in this directory. You can check this with command:
ls
And please remember linux is case sensitive system and you can use TAB for auto completion for directories and filenames.

.edit
You probably need rootsh installed. After installation you can enable root user access in xterm with command:
sudo gainroot
Means that now you have superuser/root access (be careful) you can overwrite anything and delete anything. All the system files also which transition.ini is.

Seriously,

I actually bumped into this thread by accident,
modified the file, and I am 10 times happier with the phone UI now.

The change is amazing, and no reboot needed.

made the transitions.backup and also copied it to /home/user/MyDocs
about to copy over the new transitions.ini
how do i use the back up if i need to? as it's .back up not .ini?

@sdhanna
I´m not following you right now.
You can use cp command to copy over just by changing target.
For example:
cp /backuplocation/filename.extensionwhatever /targetlocation/filename2.ini
