Very interesting,

I returned all the default files, boot video etc config files back.
Can i override all those files in .local if i make the file structures?

I made .local in MyDocs so i can acces it with usb does that work?

The .local directory has to be in /home/user (it already existed on my N900) - you can certainly symlink it (or any of the subdirectories) to within MyDocs though.

Someone can upload here the original files of general_wlan2.png and general_wlan.png. I accidentally deleted them

Thanks

Did not work for me in MyDocs the N900 acted weird after that, i made the directory's in /home/user/.local/share instead.

I'm surprised it didn't work - I've not tried it myself for that, but for the custom menus I use a symlink to MyDocs (so that, if I make a mistake and end up in a reboot loop, I can still get access to fix the issue) and that works fine.

Can't find general_wlan2.png, only general_wlan.png /usr/share/icons/hicolor/18x18/hildon

Do you have default.conf, /etc/hildon-welcome.d?

How can i make a symlink to /home/user/.local/share in Mydocs?

You can't - MyDocs is FAT32 and that doesn't support symlinks. You have to do it the other way round - move /home/user/.local/share to MyDocs, then create a symlink in /home/user/.local.

What I'd probably do (to keep things clear from the PC end) is:

Code:

mkdir -p MyDocs/Icons/scalable
mkdir -p MyDocs/Icons/48x48
mkdir -p .local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable
mkdir -p .local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/icons/scalable .local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
ln -s /home/user/MyDocs/icons/48x48 .local/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon

Note: I've not tested this, so it may not work!

It all works for me in /home/user/.local/share/ ...
where share is kind of equivalent to /usr/share and takes precedence.

Don't risk trashing your original files, try it in your home :-)
