Xterminal in FULLSCREEN:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


type the following when in xterm to enable FULL fullscreen viewing!


gconftool-2 -s /apps/osso/xterm/toolbar -t bool "false"


Now, when u press the button to hide the top bar, the toolbar is also hidden, giving u a properly fullscreen terminal.


Ctrl-backspace still brings up the Expose view for app-switching.



I don't yet know a key combination to restore the top and bottom bars - so if anyone can help me out, that would be useful - doing it by script seems a bit extreme (although they come up by default on a new terminal, which seems sensible).

There's a guide to LED Patterns on the n900 here.

The easiest way to get a darker purple is to use a more simple (in terms of not using increments/decrements) pattern like the below:

Note that this should all be on one line.

That gives a fairly pleasant dark purple.
Given time I can probably get one fading in and out, but I'll leave that until later.

Uhm, the wiki says not to use the same led engine (does that mean there is 2 multi color leds?) at the same time, but then, how is their white made !?

EDIT: here rB gives RED but rb gives PURPLE ... confused :-)

Two things I would like to see are:
1. Enable the FM receiver without the headphone plugged in.

<argument type="string">/sbin/reboot</argument>
</callback>
</menuitem>


There is now a button RebootX but all is seems to do is start an xterm window, close it and start another one. I think the command needs root privileges...

You could probably do "echo /sbin/reboot | sudo gainroot"

Mine did the same thing.

Might be able to cobble something together with low permissions with setuid possibly. But would not want to do that though.

sudo could probably be abused for this:

After that, change your reboot entry to run "sudo reboot".

Yep, I had it work once but then it started to do what you said. See my second method that abuses D-Bus - that worked more than once. :)

SHUTDOWN SPLASHSCREEN

http://www.mediafire.com/?dmj24mgmwty

put the png image you want to use in:
/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
and rename it 'startup_nokia_logo'
then reboot phone

make a backup of the original file from that location first
and keep it safe incase you ever want the original back

not sure why it still shows the old image when booting up, but this works for shutdown, hopefully someone can help with that

Not really a Mod but you might find it helpfull. I changed the start up and shutdown splash screens for one that has my contact details on. I know it is very unlikely to be returned but there must be some honest people out there. This gives them the oportunity at least.

How to enable Reboot button?
plus more..

in power button settings!




When you press the Power button, a menu is shown containing options to e.g. Switch off or lock the device. And what if you just want to reboot it? Sure, you can use the "Switch off" function and then just press the Power button again to turn the N900 back on. But it can be made simpler and quicker as you can add a separate "Reboot" button to the menu, which will automatically reboot the device without you having to do anything.

All you need to do is to edit one config file and "uncomment" its part responsible for showing the button, disabled by default.

In order to do this, you will to:

* Download and install rootsh from the Extras repository, which will give you root access in the X-Terminal
* Download and install Midnight Commander, the well known file manager which also contains a convenient text editor.



Now the actual modification:

Launch X-Terminal
* type sudo gainroot to enable root access
* type mc to launch Midnight Commander
* in the Midnight Commander, using the keyboard arrows, browse to the /ect/systemui/ folder and select the systemui.xml file
* make a copy of that file, just in case that you do something wrong, so that you can simply restore its original version anytime
* tap the 4 Edit button (at the bottom) to open the text editor
* at the bottom of the file you will notice that part of it (consisting of three ... entries) is disabled within the "comment" marks (starting ).
* move the "comment" marks mentioned above "<!--" (e.g. by deleting and re-typing them in other place) so that the two remaining entries ("Soft poweroff" and "Top in XTerm") are still within them but the "Reboot" entry gets outside of them
* tap 10 Quit button at the bottom of the editor and confirm in the requester that you want to save the file (if you don't see the 10 Quit button you may need to change the X-Terminal font size to 10)
* exit Midnight Commander, close X-Terminal and reboot the device
* after the N900 reboots, you should see the new "Reboot" option in the Menu.


When using the X-Terminal with root access enabled, be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS! Root access enables you to modify (and thus also DAMAGE) all system files, which can even result in BRICKING the device. If you don't know what you are doing, better don't do it.
