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 [...]
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 [...]
A few weeks back I brought you info about a VLC port coming to MeeGo Harmattan. It is relatively simple, but some people may find it a bit tricky as it uses Terminal commands, so I am gonna run a step by step guide on how do to it. Step One: Download libvlc5 and vlc-player on [...]
Not sure if we have posted this yet, but I just noticed a tweet from @UpakulRox saying: “#VLCplayer For The Nokia #N9 Is Here bit.ly/q9kSTI” All the links eventually take you to the main project page found here http://www.irunvlc.me/ Apparently it is still in beta, and there are a few issues that have already been [...]
Because we’ll most likely never see one in real life, here’s a couple more videos of the Nokia N950. Unboxing by amandahoic Do you miss the Nokia hands at start up? I do. However, I think that new start screen looks very swish. It’s so keeping with the slick swipe feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iTnSPplqVcs Here’s swiping [...]
Goc found a video comparing iOS powered iPhone 4 with MeeGo-Harmattan on Nokia N950 (dev phone). In this instance they’re comparing mostly the browser. Loading faster than the iPhone 4? Check. Scoring more points on HTML5 test? Check Looking attractive during phone navigation with all that swiping? Check We also see maps and contact list. [...]
A couple of places have uploaded demoes of the game TreeMaker, on their Nokia N950 MeeGo-Harmattan phones. The first is actually the developer of the app, Mikrotie.

He’s a hands on with the ‘other’ MeeGo-Harmattan device, the QWERTY keyboard, 12mp sporting Nokia N950. It’s just for developers folks so it’s not something we’ll be seeing any time soon (or at all) unless ‘you know someone who knows someone’. It is somewhat of great frustration for the Maemo fans who have long been [...]
Last year we were so excited about the potential of MeeGo. Demoes looked good given the time frame and we were hoping for a MeeGo Phone release at Nokia World 2010 that would signify the come back of Nokia. Lateness of the N8 meant that instead Symbian^3 became the star. MeeGo was pushed aside for [...]
On February 11th amongst the hubbub during the day, Head of Nokia’s MeeGo Computers, Alberto Torres left the company. Taking his place and now in charge of MeeGo for Nokia is Sebastian Nyström who is now Head of MeeGo, Qt and Webkit at Nokia. Over at the MeeGo Blog, Peter Schneider, head of MeeGo Marketing [...]
I saw @zehjotkah tweet early this morning about Hildon UI on a Lenovo. A quick search revealled indeed that this Maemo 5 UI was on the MeeGo Lenovo ST10-3t (by smokkku) There’s also another video of Hildon desktop on a joggler device (by fukywak) Looking back to 2009, there was NOTHING really wrong with Maemo [...]
Here’s the Nokia Developer Day keynote titled, “Nokia’s Three Year Ecosystem Vision”from MWC with Nokia’s CTO Rich Green (ex Sun Software boss), some guests and other members of the Nokia team. It’s roughly 50 minutes over four videos. I’ve copied some slides down from first two vids but note, Rich mentions more around those slides. [...]
