nokia S60, freeware!!

Hi there,

Since a lot of MR forumers use symbian S60 phones, let's make a thread where all of us can get free apps/games/tones/wallpapers/themes/utilities, etc...
I'll start off... I didn't find/make these all by myself though, ... they're a compilation, from posts made here and in other forums, and from websites. Full credit goes to the persons who made them and found them. I have just sorted them and listed them here, do feel free to add more.

Anyone here installed the original N78 themes? I installed it on my N82 (v30) and i found a bug when i received a call. Name & number of the caller didn't appear on the screen where it's supposed to, only a white shaded rectangular screen appears.

i hope the theme creator could fix this. TIA.

one solution is to use a theme that's compatible with both platforms.

..........................

here's a few tips and tricks for the N95... but some work of these work on almost all the N-series too.

*If you dont long-press the menu key - another way to see if you have apps running in the background is to view the menu in icon mode. Usually there's a small "C" on the upper right of each icon, or on the folder where it's located, indicating that an app is currently running there. This is very useful coz it enables you to gain more memory.

* Ever had a time when you forgot to lock your keys after closing the slider? The n95 lets you input a specific time when you want the keys locked. Just to menu/tools/setting/general/security/phone and sim/.... then choose user-defined in the 'phone autolock period', then just put in how many minutes you want.

*Unlike the 6280 and E65, the N95 does not hang up the call when you close the slide. So after the dialing the number you're calling - you can close the slide and have a more compact phone to hold.

*Increase your RAM by deleting the "Welcome" application in your phone. Delete also other apps that you're not using - like the 'Search" app.

*(from hofo) Want to "hide" some pictures so that it doesn't show up in your Gallery? You can move the photos to another folder in your phone. Like the "my videos" folder. These photos can still be seen and viewed by a 3rd party photo viewer or a file manager - but at least, now when you open the gallery - they wont show up.

*If you have a lot of videos (mp4, 3gp, etc) on your phone, it's always better to arrange them in subfolders. Dont keep more than 130 clips in one folder, if over that, just make another subfolder then put another 130 clips there, and so on and on. If having more than 130 clips - it slows down the phone to unbearable speeds when previewing them in the gallery.

*Once every few weeks, especially if you add and delete photos in your gallery, you should delete the "_pAlbtn" subfolder in your "Images" folder. (Use a file xplorer to view and delete this, or use your PC). This would refresh the entire gallery - and would ensure that your thumbnails are updated. If you delete this folder and dont view the images - it will temporarily give you more space in your memory card. (you can delete it using a file manager app - like ActiveFile or Y-Browser or Xplore)

*Set your call LOG to 10 days or less - this will help in speeding up your phone.

*When connected to a TV or Widescreen monitor, and you're viewing smartmovie movies, try this out. Instead of sliding the slider to make it horizontal, a better way is to set smartmovie to 'portrait' mode. It shows up as landscape on the TV - and there's definitely less pixelation on the picture. (than when sliding the slider to horizontal and 'forcing' the phone to compensate.)

*(from friedblogs) Make your Ringtone horrendously loud by turning ON the 3D Ringtone.

*Unless you have a good reason not to, just change your network to "GSM" only... to conserve battery. This will stop the phone from always searching for a 3G signal.

*Also turn the WLAN search to off when you're not using it. This conserves battery as well.

*(from friedblogs) Using GPS, click on options/view/satellite info, then after you got a good satellite status say 3 to 5 you can then click back and it will make your connection faster.

*Oh... just in case you dont know it yet, you can hold down the pound key (#) when in the standby menu, to activate the 'silent mode' in your phone.

*Don’t use the red ("hangup") key to exit an application. In many apps, this just keeps it in the background, eating up memory and slowing down your phone.

*You can change the shortcuts on the home screen to the apps you use most frequently by going to Settings/General/Personalisation/Standby Mode/Shortcuts.

*To save battery too... if you're not using WiFi, try to turn off "wifi scanning'.

*Ever have a problem when installing themes.... and the dreaded "expired certificate" error message pops up? This is mainly due to the fact the licensed signed certificate that nokia gave for the thememaker has a 1 year validity period - if you're just installing this old theme, and its more than a year old, you'll get that message. Simple solution is to go to the calendar of your 95, set the date back one year, or maybe 8 months - then install the theme you wanted. Restart the phone, then set the correct time again, and you're done.

*Ever think of turning your n95 into a webcam? Check out this link:
http://www.motvik.com/

*Pimp your n95 with lots of apps!
http://vaibhavsharma.wordpress.com/2...pimp-your-n95/

*The ultimate loose/wobbly slider fix: (for those unfortunate to have a wobbly slider).
http://n95slider.blogspot.com/

*Do you want to watch full DVD movies on your 95? Check out this link... it tells of HOW to convert dvd movies and play them on your N95.
http://thenokiablog.com/2007/04/10/h...the-nokia-n95/

*Do you have themes that are installed on your phone but doesn't show up in the App Manager menu? Here's a guide to explain how to remove them safely.
http://news.mobile9.com/s60apps/2007...moving-themes/

*On the other hand, as opposed to the previous tip, if you want to install themes that have been removed from the phone - here's a guide to doing that too:
http://news.mobile9.com/s60apps/2007...emoved-themes/

*Do you want to have a zoom browser without using the default 95's browser? One of the things that some are complaining about the default browser is that the pages (and the default zoom) show up as very big pages. You have to adjust the zoom levels or go to the page overview to find out where you exactly you are in the page being viewed. Opera Mini 4 Beta solves this in a simple and ingenious way.

more tips and tricks:

* If installing an "unsigned" app, and there's lots of them out there (many are free!)... and the phone refuses to install it. You can turn off the certification check. Just go to 'Tools/App manager/Options/Settings' and set 'Software installation' to "All".... and 'Online certif check' to "Off".

* One handy way to get around the menu icons (in the menu screen) quickly is to quick select them. The N95 displays 12 application icons on a menu screen at any moment, just like other S60 phones. The numeric keypad also has 12 buttons. You can select menu icons by pressing the keypad button that corresponds to the location of the application item on the screen. For example, pressing "1" activates the topmost left application, pressing "2" activates the top center icon, and so on.

* Normally, as in other s60 phones, you can delete an application thru the App Manager menu. But there's a much quicker way of doing this. In the menu screen of whatever app you want to delete... just highlight that icon, then press "C".

* (from webukonline) Don't keep switching back to the Standby screen using the Hangup button. This was OK on old versions of S60, but in almost every instance it closes the current application on the N95 - in other words, it acts as 'Exit'. If you want to keep the current program running in the background, press Menu/Apps instead, twice if you want to get to Standby screen.

* The N95 if you notice... is that not fast when it comes to shot-to-shot speed. This is mainly because the default setting for 'Show captured image' is 'On'. Loading and decoding a megabyte plus of JPG does take a while - do yourself a favour - if you can live without display of what you've just snapped, turn this setting 'Off' and you'll be able to snap photos only three seconds apart, much quicker than the default!

* Never mind the pretty but very slow 'multimedia menu' - you can go straight to music player by pressing and holding the multimedia key.

* In the Calendar menu, '#' moves you immediately to the current day, while '*' toggles between the different views. And if you need to start a new 'meeting' entry at any point, just start entering text.

* Camcorder tips: (from webukonlne) The VGA video capture is one of the unique selling points of the N95, so make sure you make the most of it.
- Make sure you use a top-spec, high performance microSD card. At 28MB/min you're going to need it. A SanDisk Ultra II is ideal. Don't buy a cheap copy off eBay, get one from a genuine vendor.
- Don't use digital zoom - you're simply throwing away quality. If you need to get closer to your subject then get closer!
- Don't try and film too close to the N95, as there's no auto-focus in video mode. Stick to subjects more than a metre away.
- As with still photos, film only in good light; you'll be very disappointed by anything shot in dim conditions.
- Don't pan around a scene too fast. Despite the spec of shooting at 30fps, the N95's video will appear slightly jerky.

* In ver.11 - there's a bug in the N95 firmwares that you need to be aware of. If you change ANY of the scene modes (ie: macro, portrait, etc) the "sharpness" setting gets set to "high". (from the default of "normal"). To use the N95's camera in a scene mode, remember to always go down to the bottom of the camera control icons and reset the 'Sharpness' to normal, otherwise your pictures are going to end up lookin too sharp.

* Dial down the megapixels a little. Ask yourself this, do you really need a 5 megapixel camera every time? Each image will take up well over 1 meg on your memory card. If you need to print on a bond-paper sized paper - 3 megapixels will do just fine. Why waste precious space if you don't have to, right? So just adjust the resolution in the Camera Settings.

* If you're going to use GPS and you're in a car - do yourself a favor, and buy a 12v car charger beforehand. It would certainly be worth the convenience of not worrying all the time if your phone is going to conk out on you... especially if you're lost and is depending on the GPS to navigate yourself out.

* Sure we've all heard of file transfers done through IR or done through bluetooth, but what about WiFi? Ever wished your N95 can connect to another wifi phone (like another N95 or an E65) and do file transfers between the two?

MyPhone v.2.1

description: ...It's a flash theme to convert your N-series phone, with an iPhone UI.
http://www.softwaremarket.nokia.com/...id=254&lang=en

Supported Phone Models:
Nokia N96, Nokia N95 8GB, Nokia N95, Nokia N93, Nokia N92, Nokia N91, Nokia N82, Nokia N81, Nokia N80, Nokia N78, Nokia N77, Nokia N76, Nokia N75, Nokia N73, Nokia N71, Nokia E90, Nokia E71, Nokia E70, Nokia E66, Nokia E65, Nokia E62, Nokia E61i, Nokia E61, Nokia E60, Nokia E51, Nokia E50, Nokia 6290, Nokia 6220 Classic, Nokia 6210 Navigator, Nokia 6121 Classic, Nokia 6120 Classic, Nokia 6110 Navigator, Nokia 5700, Nokia 5500, Nokia 5320 XpressMusic, Nokia 3250

MyPhone now comes to V2.01. Enjoy the fun at rearranging every single icon at your will and the freedom to define 3rd-party application with the icons we prepare for you in advance.

MyPhone powered by S60 OS, it turns your Series 60 OS phone into an ''i''Phone. You can have a smart phone enhanced with TWO user interfaces. MyPhone aims to exceed the ''i''Phone UI from this version.

Features:

1. Fully emulates ''i''Phone UI.
2. Rearrange every single icon as your will.
3. Add my 3rd-party applications.
4. Fully functional, all operations can be done via MyPhone.
5. You can switch ''i''Phone UI into S60 UI and the other way round seamlessly.

Tested on E71:

Tips & info:

1. Use any of the 12 dial keys to quick launch the relative app on each page.
2. You can Rearrange the icon by your preference. You can read our help pdf file for detail information.
2. For some 3rd party applications, you can add it into menu by ''MyApp'' function, or use ''Search'' for quick launch, or switch back S60 UI to launch.
3. This application is based on the Flash Lite platform, so it will go back to s60 app''s UI with system''s limitation when using a particular app.
4. The preview images are in low resolution, and real UI images'' quality is much better.
5. If your phone''s Flash Lite version is 3.0 (N95, N95 8 GB etc.) you need to install MyPhone into your phone memory.

How to install?

When installing to S60 3rd phones, you may have to revise as this: tools-> App.mgr.-> optional-> settings:software installation(all),online certif.check(off). This will help you to solve and skip the "security warning" pop-up.

Our APP is a passive content,it''s safty and security. And it has been proved and tested by sample phones.

After installed the file to your phone, there will be a icon on your phone''s Installat. folder.

Old models such as Nokia E50, E60, E61, E62, E65, E70, N71, N72, N73, N75, N80, N91, N92, N93, 3250, 5500, and 5500 sport need to update to flash lite 2.1 player.

How To Change Fonts On Your Nokia N82 & Give Your Device A Facelift

I've always wanted to change the fonts on my Nokia N82 but have always been too lazy to figure it out. Lately I've been seeing more and more screenshots around the web of Nokia N95 and N82 phones with a completely different set of fonts. You can literally use ANY .ttf font file that you want to give your Nokia N82 a refreshing new look.

After successfully changing the fonts on my phone I am happy to tell you that the steps you must take are very simple and should only take about five minutes the first time.

Follow this guide and let me know if it works out for you.

Keep reading to learn how to change your Nokia S60 fonts.

Step 1. Pick a font that you think you will like seeing everyday and all day. Don't pick one too annoying and chaotic unless you really don't mind squinting at your phone. You can find fonts from your computer under the Windows/Fonts folder. Best thing to do is copy the one you like to your desktop where it's easier to work with. You can also go to www.dafont.com where they have literally thousands of free fonts.

Make sure the file type extension is .ttf, like arial.ttf. That is the standard font type and stands for TrueType Font.

Step 2. Duplicate the same font four (4) times. You will rename the font to the following...

nohindisnr60.ttf
nohindissb60.ttf
nohinditsb60.ttf
S60ZDIGI.ttf

It's extremely important that you have the exact spelling of each of those files. Put those font files into a folder called fonts.

Step 3. Connect your memory card to your computer. It doesn't really matter how you do this, whether it be usb cable, bluetooth, or card reader. Your memory card should be the E: drive, although your memory card might be called something different. Inside the root of the E: drive make a new folder called resource. Do Not mess with the Z: drive.

Now grab the fonts folder you created in Step 2 and transfer it and the four font files into the new resource folder on your memory card.

So now your folder structure should be E:\resource\fonts\those four font files.

Step 4. Disconnect & re-insert your memory card (if needed) and reboot. Power down your phone and power it back up. And voila!

You should now have completely new fonts on your N82.

If you follow these steps correctly there really is no way to harm your phone. If you want to get rid of these fonts and go back to the originals you simply delete the resource folder and its contents.

So far I've tried a few fonts but the one above is my favorite. Some fonts won't have all the symbols that your N82 can display, but so far I've only noticed one which is the New Line symbol that is displayed for a few seconds whenever your making a new line in a message. Not a problem at all.

There Is A Catch...

When using custom fonts you won't be able to use your device in Data Storage or Mass Storage mode unless you follow these steps:

1. Turn off your phone.
2. Take out the memory card.
3. Start-up your phone.
4. Re-insert your memory card, you can now make transfers.
5. Reboot phone and you will have your custom fonts back.

Not really that big a deal if you have the time to fiddle around.

Just to give credit, I found these steps here and here.

These steps should also work if you want to change the fonts on your Nokia N95. If you have another S60 device you can find the exact font file names in the Z:\resource\fonts\ folder. Just rename your favorite font to those files and follow the rest of the steps in this guide. Don't delete, overwrite, or modify the files under the Z: drive.

Note from the author:
Warning: This entire guide worked fine for me, however, I am not responsible if you try this and something bad happens to your phone. Try at your own risk!

.....................

cheers!
