Check this pic for error....

Please does anyone have original and btw know where does it supose to go?????

Kind regards :D

I am in a similar situation--but with a corrupted notification icon button (i.e., the icon that shows up on the top left when you have a VM/SMS/E-mail etc). Like you, a reboot doesn't fix it. I have not installed anything in testing or devel. I did notice that it showed up after the latest firmware update, so I wonder if it is associated with that.

via ssh. just use the search. there are some how-to's in few threads.
(or copy the folder in xterm to MyDocs and after modifying the files copy them back. *dirty one*)

The gray background is because of selection to get the screenshot and see the white borders.

wow, gotta LOVE this one! BY FAR the best batterysymbol-mod, although its propably also one of the simplest :D

anyway, what i wanted to say: i installed these, and the device updated and showed them on the fly!
why did that happen? is it because its charging (dues to the usb-connection) and its refreshing the symbols?

btw are there also statusarea-files of this?

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!

I' ve already made many hacks from this thread but I want to ask something which is not mentioned. The reboot button problem which bricks the device after some reboots (48 count by 3) is it solved in PR1.1?

Why the duplication? There are already articles on customisation, that aren't in a personal user's page. For the well-established modifications the community will be better served if people edited the main "Customizing Maemo" page, as Cas07 has suggested at the top of his page.

Yes, sure. Please feel free to modify and share. We actually implemented chat theming support for upcoming upgrade. It will allow anyone to easily create downloadable IM themes and smiley themes. I will mention this in this thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=36618

Well it's rather simple (but requires some graphics work on your part).

The unlock screen is part of the theme and contains the background for the sliding part (the "ball" that slides is not part of the image). Since I'm using the default theme, the image is located in /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/lockslider.png

(I've attached it as well)

I just used it as a template to GIMP a slider background on it on the correct spot and then overwrote the default theme image with mine:

(do this as root)

Code:

cp /home/user/MyDocs/lockslider.png /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/

And that's about it.

(here's my panoramic desktop and the lockslider image for reference: abandoned.tar.gz)

I was tired of this axe hanging over my head. I looked and I was at 42 today when I read this. So I just started rebooting, I figured I had flashed and been in R&D mode enough I could fix it.

Well that was wrong!!! When I hit 48-51 I was waiting and it didn't reboot just went dead!

Then... I pressed and held the power button to fire it up. It did act different than a normal power up, but it powered up.

I then checked the boot count and it was on 6. So they must have hacked in a work around. Basically a forced shutdown.

could otg usb be done via hardware-modding?
