Just apt-get upgrade, assuming you don't have the two packages in /etc/apt/preferences.

i entered that
Code:

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001

Package: hildon-status-menu
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

should i remove preferences file from /etc/apt ?

to edit the /etc/apt/preferences file type in Xterm

Code:

vi /etc/apt/preferences
then hit i and remove the next lines

Code:

Package: hildon-status-menu
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001

press ESC and type :wq to save changes

this way just hildon-desktop remains pinned

EDIT: if you just have hildon-desktop and hildon-status-menu pinned, you can do

Code:

root

rm /etc/apt/preferences

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001" >> /etc/apt/preferences

this is basicaly deleting and creating the preferences again with only hildon-desktop pinned


now you can update

Code:

root
apt-get upgrade

and only hildon-status-menu should be updated (actually replaced with stock one)

I seriously think a facebook petition needs starting, something along the lines of..
" NOKIA give MohammadAG a job now and make it a VP position!!"

Be kind to your N900 and save it from unnecessary processes.
Code:

root

echo "Package: hildon-desktop
Pin: release a=unstable
Pin-Priority: 1001" > /etc/apt/preferences

apt-get upgrade

The single ">" means create a new file for the output, which will have the same effect as deleting the old one without having to explicitly delete it, thus saving you from running the "rm" command. ;)

Now all we need is a portrait keyboard in conversations and the world will be perfect.

Hmm.. now I am unable to overclock my device using the QCPUFreq. Maybe this is just coincidence but I also noticed my transitions.ini was reverted back to original.

Re: [Announce] Status menu in portrait mode
 
AFAIK transitions.ini is part of hildon-desktop, which is replaced with this package. Not sure why QCPUFreq wouldn't work though...
