Hello to all !
as NITDroid is getting more & more usable, i've decided to start this new thread where we will all talk about our mods (like in the "maemo 5 truly epic mods" topic)

- admins, if i chose the wrong category to post this or if it's not a good thread let me know -

My 1st mod is to improve the display (found thx to dj_steve) :

so here is THE thing : changing lcd_density to 240 in /system/build.prop file resolves every problem about resolution (like notification area) with the latest build !!

here is the procedure for those asking :

Code:

1st of all, you need to be on maemo 5 and have a text editor such as leafpad (my preferred, more user friendly than vi) installed and of course you need to be in root to do this ! ;)

run a xTerm session

root (or sudo gainroot, depends if you are in RD mode or not, or if you have installed another package to get the root access)
mount -t ext3 -o noatime,rw /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and
leafpad /and/system/build.prop

then search for the line "f.lcd_density=160"
and replace it by "f.lcd_density=240"
(without the quotes - by the way, if it's too big for you, you can enter any number that you want but i would not recommand you to go beyond 240)

after that save it by clicking the upper contextual menu

exit leafpad

exit xTerm

reboot your device and voilaaaa !

Isnt the lcd density thing like the dpi? If so, a value of 267 would be the correct number for the N900 right (3.5" @ 800x480)?

Also, what is the correct .kl file in /system/usr/keylayout for changing back/menu/home? I succesfully changed the back and menu button to the volume keys using the omap something .kl file, so I guess thats the correct one?

O and you can just use:

Code:

mount /dev/mmcblk1p2 /and

No need for all the extra parameters I think when messing around in the files.

ooh good

nice job titi974

I was just wondering how you did this!

..another "NITDroid Truly epic mods" would discover how to change the "bootanimation" ..

I read to move the new file called "bootanimation.zip" in "/system/media, but ........ how!?

Might I suggest also posting this on the NITDroid forums and adding a nice big sign at the top of your post here? I see nothing wrong with posting it here... but as I've said before... cramming a whole OS into 2 (now 3) threads just ain't going to work.

EDIT: Forgot to mention thanks for the hack :P I've only had issues with a few games thus far.. but this'll make those more playable for sure.
