How do I find and change this line, in what program etc?!
Thanks
Make sure you're on a wireless network with a pc.
1. Go into the extras repositories and download rootsh as well as OpenSSH Server.
2. Open up xterm (it will ask you to enter a password here, remember it youll need it), type in the following two commands:
Code:
sudo gainroot then tap enter
ifconfig tap enter
Look for the ip address of the n900 (usually a 192.168 number)
3. download winscp from the internet onto your computer
4. Host name: The IP address of the n900
user name: root
password: The password you put in xterm.
then tap login this should log you into the workings of the phone
then go too /usr/share/applications/hildon/sygic.desktop
and change Exec=/opt/sygic/Drive/Maemo/drive -cwd=/home/user/MyDocs/Drive/Maemo by putting -rfull at the end.
I am very thankful for all of the information here as it seems to be answering all the questions I would have. My only downfall is that I have no idea which program to use to open the lines, how to find these lines or how to change them and save my changes?!
If someone could help me on these small point I can get rocking and rolling on my own tweeks.
Ta muchly!

See my post, it's the easiest method, where you don't have to install anything except of rootsh
ok, so I bought it this afternoon, downloaded the zip, copied the files into /home/user/MyDocs
found it segfaulted on run
unplugged from usb and rebooted
and it runs fine to the point of entering activation code.
I select 'automatic'
and enter my code. When I hit 'done' it just sits there for a bout a minute then segfaults with
*** glibc detected **** /opt/sygic/Drive/Maemo/drive: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x0085dae0 ***
followed by stack etc.
any one got any ideas?
edit: when I try 'manual' and enter my code I'm told 'could not find correct activation code for Europe'
ignore me.. I'm an idiot. for some reason I equated 'product code' and 'activation code' as the same thing
and sadly it didn't bother to tell me I had entered garbage in the automatic way, just crashed. ahving gone properly through the manual steps.. all appears fine.
Hi, Either half the world is trying to download this app (Sygic Moble Maps for Maemo or they only have a 75 baud telex connection to the download server. Downloading is taking for ever!
1. Uninstall the Maps software through app manager.
2. Remove Drive, Maps and Res folders and the DEB file from the N900
3. Connect via USB in mass storage mode
4. Run the assistant again and install it on the internal flash!
5. Disconnect
6. Fire up the DEB file, again through app manager, not dpkg -i
7. Reboot
It should work, if it won't contact Sygic.
Just dropping a line thanking you again. I reinstalled and now the application's working flawlessly.
I wonder why the darn thing didn't install correctly the first time...
Well, thank you very much!

I think, you found a bug, thank you for description. I recommend manual activation for everybody...
i contacted Sygic about offcial full screen mode and this is what they said
good thing we got the hack to do full screen.
yes...very glad...why don't sygic just make the status bar smaller... didn't ovi map changes the look of the status bar? don't remember and don't feel like opening ovi map...
