Advertisements I was reading Ali’s excellent post on his experience with the Lumia 800 (which I agree about entirely) and remembered I haven’t shown you the first hack I placed on my N9. This hack allows you to zoom in and out while recording video. I found it quite annoying to have choose a distance […]

Here’s how it works. Purchase the Nokia Lumia 800 either online or in store with the participating retailers, and if you’re not satisfied, you can return it for a full refund after 40 days from purchase. To me, this is a pretty sweet deal. There are so many Symbian users, and just general users, unsure […]

I came across this by complete accident. Apologies if this has been shown. When you turn on the Lumia, you are asked to create a Live account, in order to access Skydrive and Marketplace, along with other services. Just now, I was fiddling with Windows Live in order to configure some push services with my […]

Use System Info to make sure the fonts are correctly installed and find out their config name. Next you locate the css files relating to the UI element you wish to change, […]

I’ve brought you information on MeeGo 1.3 CE aka Nemo for the N950, and told you there was talk about it on the N9. Well, a few weeks ago, I found a guide on how to install it to the N9. With this method, the N9 installs Nemo, without removing the Meego-Harmattan OS. It is […]

I was bored, and thought I would surf the Nokia Store to see what new N9 Aops I could find. I’m not sure how new this is, but I found a speetest.net app. It is something I have looked for a few times actually, mainly because my mates have it on their Androids and iPhones, […]

I came across some chatter about this last night on IRC, but was waiting to post it until it was confirmed. Thomas Perl (aka thp ) has made a “quick and dirty” camera hack, that allows you to use the Volume up key as a dedicated camera shutter button. Not much to explain about it, […]

#N9Hacks: Browser Mods (App)

| January 11, 2012 | 9 Replies

I have actually got two mods to share with you today, both relating to the browser. The first alters a few settings that change the default action when opening a file. (This applies to the browser, as the browser “opens” files not necessarily saving them. Apparently the file manager saves them.) I have altered the […]
