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, [...]
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 [...]
Hey this is a pretty cool N9 Hack. For fans of Michael’s N9Hacks series, hope you don’t mind me placing this cool one in where you can change the grid of the N9. I think we’ve seen before where they’ve made the N9 icons larger but not to the point where the grid pattern [...]
I am liking these Live Icon hacks that have been popping up for the N9. First was the calendar and now we have a Clock. (Read somewhere more are on the way.) The clock displays the time. If the screen is not locked, the icon will be refreshed every five minutes. Simply install the app, [...]
The Events screen on the N9 is very helpful in showing whats happening in your life, whether it be social updates, meetings and reminders for the day, or as an overview of notifications awaiting response. The sad thing is though, the Events screen only displays the calendar information for the current day. It is handy [...]
This isn’t really that surprising, that we see Themes for the N9. There is an app, suitably called Theme Changer, that allows you to apply custom themes. It is not without its issues of course. The first major hurdle was emoticons. On theme change, the emoticon files get corrupted, but there is a simple enough [...]
Was writing up a post about another N9Hack, and realised, I haven’t informed you guys about a new “app store” of sorts for the N9. It allows you to download community developed applications. (Similar to N9-Apps.com, but only community apps.) They even released a client for the N9, a while back, and in my opinion, [...]
We brought you news about a dynamic calendar icon demoed on the Nokia N9, a few weeks back. It is fitting, now that there is an easy install for it, that I am including it as part of my N9Hacks series. The calendar icon resembles that of iOS, changing to display the current date. At [...]
Like most community developed hack apps, they can be done using Terminal. Apps just make it easier for those not comfortable with modifying system files. App developer Vesuri has made and app known as “Home Screen Settings”, which simply adds to the settings menu. Once installed, navigate to Settings>Applications>Home Screen. Not only can you [...]
Do you have pre-installed apps you never use but can’t delete? App icons taking up too much space? I know I never use User Guide and it is just sitting there taking up icon space. I used Terminal to hide it, by making the shortcut a “hidden” file. Here’s how; (Obviously replace userguide with the [...]
Today’s hack has to do with the Call-UI. I came across a Mod that I like, mainly because I found the buttons too small for my fingers. What this mod does, is makes the answer, reject and silent buttons bigger, as well as enlarging the contact’s avatar. I didn’t like how big the avatar was [...]
This is something I have been wanting to do for a while. Since the N900 days, many of us looked all over the web for ways to hack that little beast. My idea, is to create posts, that gather not only my own hacks, but also hacks found around the community, without having to surf [...]
Gen tipped this in yesterday, it’s a video showing how to enable landscape mode for Nokia N9. Surprised it’s not shown up elsewhere yet as it’s a very useful tweak for those who want to view their N9′s three main screens in landscape. Makes it feel more N900 like. All three screens are in landscape. [...]
