Is this PR1.2 for the Nokia N950 ?

Are they real ? Fake ? No idea but they have got my mouth watering. Check out whats potentially coming:

Enable Landscape Support for Home Screens in Nokia N9

 

The N950 and the N9, or at least the current software builds, come with landscape mode support enabled in selected applications only. This does not include the "home screens". It is especially inconvenient on the N950 with its hardware keyboard while it is open...

Hopefully Nokia will enable landscape support accross the whole UI in upcoming firmware upgrades.

To get landscape support you have to manually modify the corresponding CSS file. You can do it as follows:

• launch X-Terminal. If you can't find its icon, you'll need to enable it first by switching on the Developer Mode in Settings / Security
• type devel-su and then rootme as password to become root
• type nano /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/
  meegotouchhome/meegotouch.css
• scroll down until you reach locked-orientation: "portrait"; delete the word portrait & change it to locked-orientation: "";
• tap the on-screen Ctrl button and then press X on the keyboard
• confirm that you want to save the file by pressing Y (disable the still pressed on-screen Ctrl button first) and then press Enter
• reboot the phone.

Enjoy your home screens automatically rotating their orientation!

Nokia to release two Lumia 800 updates to fix battery issue

Lumia 800 is a sophisticated and capable Windows Phone 7 powered smartphone released recently by Nokia. Apparently, some users have started to complain about battery issues with the mobile phone soon after the device hit shelves, and Nokia already kicked off an investigation on the matter.


Nokia has issued the following statement in response to some customers’ questions about the power consumption of their Nokia Lumia devices:

“ We understand that some people have expressed concerns about battery life on the Nokia Lumia 800.  Early investigations show that the majority of people are enjoying the full Nokia Lumia experience without any problems.  A software update in early December will include improvements to power efficiency, while a second update in early January introduces further enhancements to battery life and battery charging.  Both are planned updates and will be made available via Zune.  We recommend that anyone who still has concerns contact local Nokia care representatives at their earliest convenience.”

Community SSU 21.2011.38-1Smaemo1 - Stable Version Released

The stable cssu is meant for all those people who didn't want to install the cssu because it happened to break stuff from time to time.

We're trying to achieve an as close to stock maemo experience as possible in terms of stability.

If you've got cssu-testing installed a reflash is needed prior to installing CSSU-stable. It is recommended to have PR 1.3 (20.2010.36) or PR 1.3.1 (21.2011.38) to install CSSU stable.

The stable cssu contains those packages from testing version 16.8 which were deemed stable. Basically nearly everything but modest/tinymail and the camera-ui replacement.

The exact packages + minor changes to those packages can be found on the changelog page for the stable cssu http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/ChangelogStable

Since there are most packages from 16.8 it supports most features 16.8 has, nevertheless there is a dedicated page with all supported features listed: http://wiki.maemo.org/Community_SSU/FeaturesStable

Note: 21.2011.38-1 is the latest official Nokia version. The "S" of "Smaemo1" stands for stable and next of it indicates the Community SSU release version. This string is not edited so the Ovi store doesn't break.

New CSSU update for Maemo 5 version 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo1 is out

New Maemo 5 system update version 21.2011.38-1Tmaemo1 is out and you should see it in the Application Manager (if not, try refreshing it). 





Changelog:

* Added Qt DigiNotar blacklists.
* Fixed modest crashes.
* Fixed camera-ui corrupting videos after switching to background while recording.
* Fixed camera-ui overwriting user data.
* Fixed portrait wallpapers in hildon-home.
* CSSU rebased on top of official PR1.3.1 release.

Please note that this is a testing release - that's what the T symbol in the version string stands for. Stable release should follow soon. Keep in mind that changing between stable and testing releases requires a reflash, so if you prefer to eventually have the stable release on your device without having to reflash it, skip this one and wait for the version marked with S in the release string.

Here comes the Maemo 5 PR 1.3.1 update for N900

 
A few days ago MohammadAG leaked a news about Maemo PR 1.3.1 security update in Maemo.org wesite. I posted that news in this blog. Everyone was expecting a lots of bug fix and improvements. I was waiting eagerly for the update.
Today I refreshed my N900's application catalog and I was so happy to see the software update notification. But I got sad when I found that it is just a minor security update fixing the DigiNotar issue and a fixed security control panel applet. Though I updated my N900 to PR 1.3.1 successfully. The about product shows the version 21.2011.38-1. Non CSSU users can update right away through application manager. I tried with Nokia OVI suite but the update didn't show. CSSU users have to wait for next CSSU update. CSSU maintainer will include this fix in their next update.
Happy updating.
Here's some screenshot for you all.

 Updated components are:

• maemosec-certman-applet
• libmaemosec-certmant-applet0
• mp-fremantle-generic-pr
• libmaemosec-certman0
• maemosec-certman-common-ca
• libmaemosec0
• maemosec-certman-tools
