Reasons:
1) There are several Tweak-Apps which have mainly the same tweaks, but if there is a tweak that isn't in one of them, you have to install the other one
2)All mods/tweaks that aren't in an app must be installed separately, and if there are updates ( new mods/tweaks/extensions gets updates every day ) you have to do the whole thing again
3)Many mods/tweaks/extensions can be only enabled through the Terminal, but there are lots of people who doesn't know how to use it or they are afraid to do that
4) And many other reasons

What i want is an app ( with GUI if possible) which contains all mods/tweaks that are available for the N9 (only if the makers agree to work together or to use their mods/tweaks )
Are there some moders who agree to work together and make such an app ??

Thanks in advance

I for one have always wondered why no-one tries to integrate their tweak options in the "Settings" panel application. Is this not possible?

i like tweaking my n9, therefore I have both n9 Tweak and Quick Tweak, plus some mods that aren't available on those two. It would be nice to have an gui app for this, the kind that show example images of before and after and auto-updatable.

I also like to tweak my N9 because the possibilities given by Nokia aren't enough

I also want such an app you described.
i hope that some moders will make this

Yes , I agree. somewhat similar to how there was a Winter board/Summerboard app for the first gen iPhone. That App was very easy to use and powerful.

After some quick digging around in the API docs:

Storing and managing application settings

MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan platform allows the user to configure system and application settings conveniently in one central system, GConf, which can be accessed through the device Control Panel. The Control Panel contains Applets - also known as Settings pages - which are separate pages for individual application settings. To make your own application similarly user-friendly, consider creating an Applet for the user-editable settings of your application and making that page visible in Control Panel.

An example .desktop file looks like this:

Code:

Type=ControlPanelApplet
Name=Settings Example
X-logical-id=decl_exampl_1
X-translation-catalog=duisettings
Icon=

# This has to be specified in order that the .desktop file can also be
# used as an action (for example for search to know how to open the applet)
X-Maemo-Service=com.nokia.DuiControlPanel
X-Maemo-Method=com.nokia.DuiControlPanelIf.appletPage
X-Maemo-Object-Path=/
# this has to be the same as Name
X-Maemo-Fixed-Args=Settings Example

[DUI]
X-DUIApplet-Applet=libdeclarative.so

[DCP]
Category=Applications
Order=10
Part=example.xml

And the corresponding example.xml which defines which values to display and what widgets to use for them:

Code:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<settings>
  <group title="Group 1">
      <text key="/apps/ControlPanel/Example/Text1" title="Please specify a text" >
      </text>
      <text key="/apps/ControlPanel/Example/Text2" title="Please specify a text" >
      </text>
      <selection key="/apps/ControlPanel/Example/Enum1" title="Please select a value">
        <option title="1" >1</option>
        <option title="2" >2</option>
        <option title="3" >3</option>
        <option title="4" >4</option>
    </selection>
  </group>
  <group title="Group 2">
    <boolean key="/apps/ControlPanel/Example/Bool1" title="Please switch me">
    </boolean>
    <integer key="/apps/ControlPanel/Example/Integer1" title="Please select a number" min="30" max="60">
    </integer>
  </group>
</settings>

Easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy - so get with the programme devs!

Ive already made an entry in device for different themes. But my knowledge of coding is too little so I cannot make it a reality.

There is some info in this thread but basically it seems you need a widget that edits the /meegotouch/theme/name key, setting it to the name of the folder in /usr/share/themes. I would recommend you do this as a list for now instead of as separate buttons, e.g.

Code:

...
    <selection key="/meegotouch/theme/name" title="Select theme">
        <option title="blanco">Blanco</option>
        <option title="fdb">F.D.B. Theme</option>
    </selection>
...

Disclaimer: I'm not a Qt/MeeGo/Harmattan dev, and the above is based on assumptions made after only the briefest of looks in the API docs. There are other users here who know far more about this than I do!
