is this a bug that the keyboard wont turn the backlight on?
in the night its very hard to see the keys ^^
it would be nice when its starts working :)

and now
THX for the app :)
nice work

I never programmed any way to turn it on.
I suppose I could; I just need to find the /dev/ file that turns it on.

Hi Robbie,

it works great on my end...
Great work and appreciated here in the Netherlands...
2 questions left:

can we expect a GUI 4 this?
Does this backup all (like apps and other stuff like contacts and calendar)?

Regards

Well, it -is- a GUI, to some extent.
If you mean an application that runs inside Maemo... thats not possible

If you back up both the RootFS and the OptFS, everything should be backed up

The kernel is stored in a separate mtd partition (not on the rootfs!) so you'll need to back it up or restore it separately. I forget the exact partition number, and IIRC the layout is different from the N8x0s but /proc/mtd should tell you.

Ah, perfect! Thanks.

3) I told the testers try to flash with the root image extracted from a fiascoimage.
That flash went fine.

So to two testers everything all right... and two with that error. ... and I do not understand why ..

I assume this is due to bad blocks in the OneNAND flash module. I can't do anything about this with the current setup.
I have an idea for a different way of doing this, but I'd need to have some testers who are willing to have to wipe their N900s.

Robbie i'm here for evething that doesn't destroy definitively my phone and that is reversible with a flash :)

But why these bad sectors create problems only on some N900 and not on every N900? T_T

By the way .. if you need .. PM me .

Yea, I'm gonna have to try that, MohammadAG. Thanks.

Re: [Announce] BackupMenu - Backup & restore OS images(+ other features)

how do i type symbols such as

Quote:

?? The output key does not correspond to what i type on the keyboard, but everything else works.

Also, how do i use the maemo flasher?? We need to press and hold the "U" key and then connect the USB, but having the keyboard open will simply launch the backup menu instead, what do i do??
