(0. make a backup of the original files! ^^)
1. place a picture with 64x64 in /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html/ named "avatar.png"
2. replace the three files (html, css, js) in the same folder with my modded files

(Thanks B666m)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
It's not necessary to overwrite default icons in /usr/share/icons/ when using custom icons. You can put them in /home/user/.local/share/icons/ and they work fine (except the loading indicator during boot). I suppose that works for other folders in /usr/share too (for example /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/ -> /home/user/.local/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/).

On my phone it works perfectly for /home/user/.local/share/icons/

But it didnīt work for /home/user/.local/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/ when I tried it...
dontīt know why!

It might be that it works only for icons. I haven't tested others, I was just assuming.

hum... does it say that the path doesn't exist?

If so try:

Code:
$ root

$ mkdir /home/user/MyDocs/backupbattery48x48/
$ cp /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/statusarea_ba* /home/user/MyDocs/backupbattery48x48/

so far ive hacked my N900 quite a bit:

-modified LED colours and vibrations
-removed boot video (can also use custom video, but i prefer none)
-added custom profiles with tweakr
-made camera button and proximity sensor shortcuts to task manager/phone
-customized operator name
-added 'reboot' function to power button
I know you've probably stated how you changed the LED and vibration, but I am new to this forum and asking you to repeat it step by step to me again. I am new to maemo but I am computer savvy and catch on quick. Thanks and N900 Rocks!

There is a wiki link to all the customizations. Forgot the link though. =P
But i do know how to change the touch screen vibration feedback.

RENAMING MENU ITEMS

go to /usr/share/applications/hildon/
change the text after 'Name=' to what ever you want
i was hoping to remove the text from the menu but if i delete the name and leave it blank it always shows 'Project-Id-Versio' instead of showing no text, cant seem to figure that one out, but im just a maemo-n00b! hoping someone else can find a solution to totally removing the text from the first menu screen

... didn't find out how but by removing the "Name=" the app will not show up at all!

And by testing names, it froze two times.. I'll stay out of that for a while :)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 
menu froze for me a few times too, then i learned that when saving the new name on pc via winSCP have the menu on phone open, menu will close itself when file is saved, wait 5 seconds then open phone menu, you may see 'no applications' but menu quickly loads in after that, i also noticed the app dissapearing if i removed 'name='
im also looking for how to change other text in apps if anyone knows how

infact i fixed it yesterday by uninstalling OpenSHH from phone, and WinSCP from pc
and reinstalling them

but i wake up today and its not working again
and reinstalling does nothing
Replied here.

I think it's generally considered a bit of a faux pas to cross-post, especially over such a short period of time...

To mod or get rid of the grid background that displays in the web browser while pages are loading/rendering, change the following:

instead? You shouldn't need to gain root as it's going into a user directory (for people unfamiliar with *nices, ~ is the user's home directory, in this case /home/user and .local is a hidden directory within it) and you don't need to backup as you're leaving the original files intact. Also using mv rather than cp avoids having extra copies of the files cluttering the filesystem up.

install it via app-manager with testing (or devel) repositories activated. :)

go to your preferences/settings and scroll down to the bottom. there should be a category "common" or something where you can edit/change the settings for some installed apps - for example shortcutd. :)

THEME STUFF

just edited a few of the widgets cos i like lots of bling!
using photoshop i added:
'bevel and emboss'
'color overlay'
'gradient overlay'

to:

RSS applet
media player applet
web shortcut applet
contacts applet
calendar applet
app shortcut applet
app shortcut pressed applet

if you want them they go into:
usr/share/themes/******/images

(******* being your current theme)

back up your own files first

This is really useful, simple, clean and only two lines code involve! Simply perfect! ;)

I don't really understand how it works and what more it is possible to do with that because it doesn't work with /usr/share/themes/

Strange..
