Wrong language.

You can enable rd mode with the flasher tool (I'm sure someone can provide the link, or just search on maemo.org). Just flasher --enable-rd-mode, then turn on the device with the USB cable connected.

Alternatively, you can try if red-pill mode is (still) available on your device. To enable it, open the application manager, add a new repository and enter "matrix" in the web address, then close the dialog and choose the red pill. If this works, you will have an "install from file" option in the application menu.


Perhaps there is also a package you could install to gain easier root access, this is just how I'm used to do it.

Did they remove install from file from the application manager? That is what I use to install my themes.

Hmm, we might really need to consider a "this post is unhelpful"/"-ve karma"/"anti-thanks" on posts.

Here's a more complete statement:
  1. You cannot install debs directly on the device out-of-the-box.
  2. Themes should be distributed (like every other package) through Extras.
  3. To test your theme, you'll need to install the deb. You have two basic ways of doing this easily:
    1. Install rootsh. Use sudo gainroot and dpkg -i MyDocs/sometheme.deb
    2. Install a install-from-deb package, such as appinstaller and use it to install the deb

appinstaller is only in extras-devel, so not really recommended. Developers wanting to test their packages (whether themes or apps), are probably best going for the X Terminal root.

Replace "mytheme" with whatever you called your theme? Check what the file is called exactly after creating it with the theme maker. Also, try hitting the tab button on xterm while entering a path, that will complete the path if possible (hit tab twice to get a list of files starting with the letters you typed).
