News from Maemo world – Flash tweaks, protection, updates

2 August 2010Entry by

Maemo world, as long as N900 develops in many places, with many users writing, commenting and posting. Also all of you – readers take a part in society motion every day.

Flash version – how come does it matter?

Tweak Flash version application

Tweak Flash version application

Recently I’ve found pretty good analysis of Flash versioning and small inconsistency that makes Flash plugin vulnerable to version cheating. That’s why I feel more comfortable with testing Tweak Flash plugin version application, which may be helpful for everyone that wish to have Flash 10 enabled on N900.

Damage protection – microUSB port

Some poeople reported that microUSB port in N900 just fell out. Well, practically it shouldn’t just fall out, the reason is that in comparison to soldering technique used, the charger plug is big enough to act as lever and give moment of force big enough… but without physical babbling, you need to be careful when using charger and USB cable. Nokia N900 may be marvellous in many ways but still it’s NOT rugged phone for military and we should handle it with care. So please be careful! Broken N900 microUSB port

Prepare for application updates

Updates are coming in many applications, sometimes there are problems with updating some of them. If you’ve experienced such situation there is a way I’ve found and use recently.

  1. Check if you really use the application, if not, just remove it. If there is a problem with removing, place a comment in Q&A section, I’ll find a solution.
  2. If you still need the application I prefer method remove-clean-install, so:
  • uninstall the application (if there is a problem check point 1.)
  • open console, gain root access and run apt-get autoremove command
  • install application again and enjoy

I hope this will help you now or in the future. If you have any questions you can always ask by commenting
