August Updates

Splitting the updates I was adding in the ActiveFile post to a new one, just to be tidy. “Oh, by the way, my 5800′s earpiece finally gave up, am taking it to be replaced tomorrow. So back to the N95 for a while. Dunno if that’ll affect the frequency (LOL) of posts here, but just [...]

ActiveFile v1.43

Yesterday, Alie Tan posted about a new version of ActiveFile (v1.43 RC1) on his website. Among new things there are bugfixes for 5th edition, meaning it works properly with the double tapping system. If you tried the last version you know what bug I’m talking about. Good riddance Y-Browser, only one file browser installed now. [...]

Q Search widget for S60 (and an iSearch mod!)

And after that huge N-Gage post, something quick. Youse guys all know how much I’m picky about search apps. *cough cough* So I’m glad someone out there knew how to make a good search app/widget. Q Search by Russell Beattie does everything I want, fast and simple. Tap shortcut on homescreen, get a text box, [...]

N-Gage on the 5800: the h4x diaries

Summary: Just to let it clear from the start, while I could install the app, I couldn’t play any games. Leaving this warning right in the top of the post might save you some reading time. :P I always wondered what would happen if I installed N-Gage on my 5800 ever since I saw a [...]

Nokia 5800 updated to v30.0.011

Early this morning, reports of a new Nokia 5800 firmware echoed through the internets. I thought I’d wait until it’s confirmed hackeable, as I always do. But after a couple conflicting reports I decided to try for myself. OTA firmware update, same experience as V21. First impression: if you get an endless rebooting phone, take [...]

How to edit files that are currently in use by Symbian

If you scroll down the main page a little, you’ll see I was away from this blog for quite a while, I didn’t even post nothing in May. And so, I wasn’t paying much attention to the comments (sorry guys, just finished replying to them :P). Two comments in my first post about hacking the [...]

Merging fonts, S60 specific glyphs and other stories

Fonts! Yes, one of S60′s oldest mysteries. Why Euro1 firmware phones don’t support asian fonts? It made sense back in the S60v2 times, where memory was scarce. But now there’s plenty of space for just a couple more megabytes that a full unicode font would occupy. For that, there are alternative fonts, pretty much any [...]

Shazam ID for S60v5

Oh hey, new post. This time I’ll “review” the Shazam app for S60v5 that just came out on Ovi Store. And by review, I mean complain about glaring UI design faults. Brace yourself for a bulleted list! So say you’re in the car (as a passenger, naturally, don’t operate your phone while driving yo), and [...]

V21 for the 5800

First OTA firmware update I install ever! Took a screenshot of the installation process too. Yaaaay. Now for the alleged change log that’s been floating around, seems pretty accurate, so it must be true. Following BUGS are fixed, Lock code does not work after FOTA update Logs: Info cannot be seen in missed calls if [...]

The Nokia 6650 has a timer app!

…at least on the cover UI. Ah, the oddly missing features of S60~ That said, just so this isn’t a worthless post, I’ll link a pretty neat timer app for S60v5. Download it (and a lot more stuff) here.
