done.
maybe anyone can point how to share this little mod without getting trouble. ;D

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

I'm not on anyone's side but I do understand where he's coming from. Your thread as a whole is great and is full of nice mods. But do avoid posting a copy and paste of someone else's words. Everyone will think that you wrote them even if it isn't. So you are basically claiming it as your own words.

If it's pretty much a copy and paste from somehwere else (which I can clearly see that it is for that Reboot button), it would be better to just post the link to that site with the instructions. You can however freely modify the instructions and post it as yours if your instructions use different methods/easier wording etc. :)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

thats why you must always put a link to original source. unless you want to ruin your reputation.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Polemics for nothing... if he reposted something he read somewhere else without making a gain from it (he isn't even getting visits on his site/blog with that), and eventually changing it in part, why complain?
He's helping those who cannot find the instructions from the original poster after all... important is to share the knowledge...
Think of opensource software.. do you know which part is coded by who? no, but we all can use it..
(if he wants to post a link to the source it's kind, but I wouldn't find it necessary)

Just my opinion. Thanks for the mods f2thak, or whoever wrote them originally. Keep it up.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

@thecursedfly,
To be more proper, he should have posted the link and that's it. (with a description of what the mod does)
Then you would have gone to that site and read that article from the source.
f2thak still gets thanks for posting that link. Everyone is happy. :D

Not gaining anything? Isn't gaining reputation nothing? You can make a name for yourself without making a single dime. Sometimes, that is worth more than money.

Information is not the same as open source. I write articles / reviews of stuff myself. If someone just posts them in some forum without a single mention of me or my site, people will all think he wrote them. He gets the rep/fame. I get nothing.

Same thing can happen here. http://my-maemo.com isn't getting recognised one little bit for writing that article and spending the time doing so.

f2thak, it's great to have all these mods in one thread. Very useful. Hence this thread became so big in such a short time. I guess we are just saying, be more careful. =)

INSTALLATION COMPLETE SOUND

to change the 'beep' that sounds when app manager has finished installing, to 'beep beep installation complete'

put the file 'ui-information_note' into:
/usr/share/sounds/

sounds great!

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Hi
How you put icons for this buttons ? Can you share this ?
Thanks

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

back from bed.
and i have to say that i can't send everyone an email.

i wonder why these files are copyrighted on an open source phone?! o.O

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Hey Carston,
Nice work! Fix your instructions though, you missed the end of the path.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

les_garten,

I fixed it, and checked all the other files too. Thanks

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Thanks for the tip CarstenDutch, i made my own with colours more fitting to the theme.

I think we'd all like to see this mod of yours. Surely if it was to make it's way onto the internet somehow, it could be shared with everyone. As long as it has a readme stating it is still the copyright of nokia, I cannot see the issue.
Your not claiming it as yours? If you send me it I'll put it up somewhere stating just that. I'll also seek some clarification from Nokia on this.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

I REALLY the signal mod! As well as the batt mod. You have a good eye. The only suggestion I would have on the batt level is fully use the icon area you have. You may be already, just a suggestion. Helps with us folks with old eyes!

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Why not just ask the official Nokia guys haunting this forum?

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

nicely expressed *lol*

but... where/who are these haunters? ^^

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

texrat for one and isn't qole one as well?

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Just a note to say that, rather than replacing the system icons, you can override the icons locally by putting them into ~/.local/share/icons instead of /usr/share/icons (you'll need to create a matching directory structure).

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Thank you,

I think the little battery must be improved (too small in this stage), i will work on that, but have many other things too do also.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

@Rob1n: Can you please describe this a little more detailed please? Thanks!

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Sure. For example, this post has some replacement battery icons, which it instructs to install into /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon, replacing the system icons. Instead, you can install them into ~/.local/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon and they'll override the system icons, but leave them in place.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Thanks, but sorry I am not that familiar with Unix directory structure...
What does " ~ " stand for?
I assume the " . " before local has a special function, right?
And where exactly is this path located in the directory structure?

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Sorry, ~ is the user's home directory - /home/user on the N900. The . before local means that the directory is hidden normally (so running "ls" is X Terminal won't show it).

Using X Terminal, you can create the directory by doing:
and you can change to the directory by doing:
Unfortunately you can't use File Manager to get to the directory, but emelfm2 and mc should work okay.

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

i just wrote an email to the german nokia support with the request of sharing the modded files / codes.
i will write a new post here when the answer arrives.
*keep my fingers crossed* :)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Nice! Though i think the 100% dark green and the 3 red ones are too dark on the black background...?

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

It's just HTML and CSS. I've forgotten where it's stored (/usr/share somewhere, I'm sure)

Re: N900 MODs - share your MODs!!
 

Heres my signal and battery mods, did them to match the default "blue" theme, icon pack includes original icons also.

let me know if anyone wants orange versions.

Signal images go in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
Battery1 images goes in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/hildon
Battery2 images goes in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/hildon/
