Many (including me) were particularly annoyed with the introduction of the PR1.2 menu, which had slower (much slower) kinetic scrolling.

Here's a modified hildon-desktop package which has this reversed, and includes all fixes post PR1.2 (call UI glitching etc...).

Download link: http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/...+0m5_armel.deb
It will not install via the application manager

Package should only be installed on PR1.2, it will not conflict with future updates (if any).

To install the package (rootsh and wget have to be installed):

Code:

root
wget http://mohammadag.xceleo.org/public/maemo/debfiles/hildon-desktop_kinetic_2.2.138-1+0m5_armel.deb
dpkg -i hildon-desktop_kinetic_2.2.138-1+0m5_armel.deb
killall hildon-desktop

If you can't/don't want to install wget, download it to your PC, copy it to the "root" directory of your "Nokia N900" device (/home/user/MyDocs) via USB/ssh then

Code:

root
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/hildon-desktop_kinetic_2.2.138-1+0m5_armel.deb
killall hildon-desktop

An apt-get upgrade will reinstall the PR1.2 one (possibly because it prefers versions in the repo), so you may want to pin it.

Code:

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable 
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences
