This is actually super cool! It may be over a year since the last Software Update, and nearly two years since device announcement, but the Harmattan community are still finding little secrets left behind by the team. By going into Settings > About and tapping NOKIA a few times in quick succession, you get a [...]

With the introduction of inception, the Harmattan community received the ability to replace system apps with their own versions (the status bar modification was perhaps the most well known). Know, thanks to the help of the community, the stock client has received a UI overhaul, with a dark theme thanks to coderus. Its the same [...]

THP never ceases to amaze me. Just when I thought he had out done himself with apkenv, he has brought the Harmattan community Cyclotron. The app (well mod really) takes the swipe to a new level, by allowing the user to swipe diagonally from the status bar to switch between apps. I can’t really do [...]

Apkenv – Run “some” android apps in Harmattan & Fremantle

First we heard that there would be app compatibility layers for Harmattan. Then Nitdroid came along, and like it did on the N900, it gave us a near-complete version of Android to use on our N9/50s. Well, now we have a compatibility layer of sorts, that allows you to run a very small number of [...]

Video: #N9Hacks: GUI for Multiboot

| September 11, 2012 | 9 Replies

This is something I had been waiting for since the N9 got dual-booting abilities (and then multi-boot). It is still an early version, but the GUI is apparently easily customisable. We may see some amazing and polished dual/multi-boot solutions. I preferred having a boot image for NitDroid, let alone an actual GUI where you can [...]

Honestly, I’m not surprised. The Nitdroid Project managed to get ICS on to our N9s before lots of Android devices were updated or even released with that update, and now, it has happened again. Although no official release has been made, there is a video showing the N9 running the latest iteration of Android, Android [...]

HowTo: Fix Mail For Exchange with Hotmail/Live/Outlook for N9

| August 20, 2012 | 34 Replies

Something that every N9 user that uses MFE with a Live/Hotmail/Outlook account has been affected by, is that the N9 no longer syncs correctly. This was caused by Microsoft updating some protocols or something technical like that, and Nokia not rectifying the situation. Here are two really quick fixes that have not only worked for [...]

I’ve been using this for the last month thanks to my friend Arie ( @EverythingN9 ).

This feels a lot like the iOS vs. Jailbreak cat and mouse game. The N9 was just updated to PR 1.3, and one of the 1000 improvements was a bug fix that patched the hole exploited by Inception. Well, V 0.2 is out now, so those that were holding out to update in case their [...]
