CSSU (Community System Software Update) 20.2010.36-2maemo16.5 now available

CSSU (Community System Software Update) release 20.2010.36-2maemo16.5 has been made available today for the Nokia N900. The most important change in this release is full portrait mode desktop support as well as the ability to blacklist apps that do not rotate well (i.e. stock media player). Also (finally) the transitions.ini file is not overwritten with the new release but rather a separate file is provided that you need to copy/merge into the transitions.ini. Full list of changes and fixes can be found here. If you already use CSSU on your N900, you will be notified about this new release automatically. Otherwise, go to this page to install it.

Najbitniji apdejt u novoj verziji CSSU je implementacija qt 4.7.4 sto znaci da ce raditi i meego aplikacije na n900. U medjuvremenu je izasao CSSU 16.8 koji sadrzi neke ispravke oko sigurnosti. Izvor je talk.maemo.org

ja nikako da se nakanim da instaliram CSSU.
sve se nadam da će g.vnari iz Nokije pustiti zvaničan update. 

Nemoj se nadati da ce Nokia da objavi novi update jer nece. Jasno su to rekli. CSSU sadrzi stvari koje nikad ne bi ni dosle iz Nokie.Moja ti je preporuka da sacekas jos par verzija pa tek onda instaliras jer ce biti doradjeniji.

Pustiše g.vnari update.

Announcement - PR1.3.1 official security update

Android 4.0 ported to Nokia N900

With this port of Ice Cream Sandwich to the Nokia N900, developer Alexey Roslyakov has brought the NITDroid Project one step closer to its goal of running updated Android on all Nokia Internet Tablets. As the video demonstrates, the port is still in its early stages, and is billed as a pre-pre-alpha, but it's certainly enough for the device to take its place on the growing list of older devices running Android.

Run Harmattan (Nokia N9 / N950) applications on the N900 with Nemo

Nemo (former MeeGo CE) has evolved a lot and it's no longer just a proof that installing MeeGo on the N900 is possible and.... not much besides. It slowly becomes a full featured and useful system.

For instance, you can use it to run MeeGo Harmattan (Nokia N9 / N950) software on your old N900.... Even just by simply copying the files, without doing any changes, testers were able to run without any problems over 50% of the apps they tried. The other half didn't work "out of the box" but probably with some small tweaks compatibility can be further improved...

Nokia N900 gamepad hack dispenses with beauty, sidles up to sore thumbs



Know what's kicking and screaming its way into obsolescence? If you guessed the N900, pat yourself on the back with this hack. Nokia's internetting tablet that simply refuses to quit has already run the multi-purpose gamut, standing in as a brain scanner / replacement, OS dual-booter and Ice Cream Sandwich biter -- just to name a few. Now, a homebrew mod from Polish hacker Emeryth, has that soon-to-be retro QWERTY slider sporting a custom gamepad to make those long hours logged into video game emulation that much more thumb-friendly. The exposed overlay is based on an ATmega8A microcontroller and plugs directly into the device's USB port, giving gamers an eight button solution, plus a PSP-like analog stick. It's a handy, albeit ugly, add-on that'll help get your gaming heros of old through well trodden enemy lines.
