"you then need to run xterminal and type:

devel-su [press enter]
rootme [press enter]
cd /home/user/MyDocs [press enter]
mv /usr/ / [press enter]

"

is that all the commands u need to enter xterm? or is there more to it?

That's what I found after watching the video at least, and it successfully enabled landscape for me.

Edit: I have not applied the new transitions files yet so I don't know if the landscape change is included with what he posted too.
The transition file is not included, I have done it on my N9, and can successfully say it works. In case you don't have the landscape mod follow this link:

and go through the steps, written by me, so I can vouch they work...

Follow that, I double checked it a couple of times, so I am certain it works.

rootme [press enter]
cd /home/user/MyDocs [press enter]
mv /usr/ / [press enter]

Hi guys, this phone is bascially my introduction in to linux...
but the last step..
mv /usr/ / [press enter]
wouldn't that just take the root usr folder and move it to root.. hence no change ??

We assume everyone can unzip a file themselves, if not, well that's another story...

No, you're moving the file to /usr/ / and it should overwrite the file...

As you are located in MyDocs.. it will take the folder "/home/user/MyDocs/usr/" and move it to "/". It will then merge the content with the /usr/ already there.

If you followed the instructions transitions should work well, though it is very subjective...
