Introduction

N9QTweak is a collection of tweaks and settings for your N9/50 device. With this app users no longer need to worry about applying various tweaks manually with added complications.

Installation

1) Download the .deb file either via AppsforMeego or from the TMO thread located at http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80600

2) Transfer it to your phone and tap on it to install

3) A new icon will be created on the Homescreen at the end of successful installation. Clicking it will run the application.

4) A password prompt for user devel-su will appear where you have to enter a password (default is rootme). This password will not be visible as you type just press Enter after typing it.

Important Notes Before Running Any Tweaks

1) Run "Create Backup" [Tweak K] on first use of the app. This procedure does NOT need to be repeated when you wish to update to a newer version of the app.

2) Updating to a new version DOES NOT require you to run "Restore" from the app to undo any previous tweaks/mods.

3) Installation of new version is the same; just double click the new .deb file from your phone

4) In the event of not having a backup and requiring a clean backup download a CLEAN BACKUP from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17706605/N9QTweakBackup_8.6_all.zip

5) It is recommended to start with Tweak A first as Tweak A has some similar files to other tweaks which can result in other tweaks being restored too in the event Tweak A is restored if Tweak A was not installed first

6) Multiple tweaks can be appplied at once with one space between the letters before pressing ENTER [e.g. A B D E ... then pressing ENTER]

7) Some tweaks may need a refresh or reboot. You can apply them in the end of your session or in the end of the letters you want to apply at once. A single refresh or reboot will apply all the tweaks that require a refresh or reboot.

    Two options are available under this main option:

There is a possibility of getting a SAFE MODE icon on your status menu after a reboot. DON'T PANIC!!!

Just click the icon and choose "YES" which will do a refresh of your status bar and everything will work fine again.

The above non-fatal issue is caused by Status Updater. You might want to Uninstall it to prevent the non-fatal issue.

Important Notes w.r.t. MT-Toggles & System UI Extensions

Installation of Unrestricted System-UI and/or MT-Toggles is NOT COMPATIBLE with System UI Extensions.

To use either while having the other installed, just uninstall the other using the options available.

Sub-Options

At times after a reboot, HackyBrightness will not work with only Standard Brightness applet working. Fix this by running this tweak and re-inserting your "ROOT" password.

2. Rearrange status menu plugins:

Installation of System UI MODs will mess up the arrangement of all applets.

This option arranges all your INSTALLED APPLETS ONLY.

Names of applets must follow as those in the list!

If you require to re-arrange ALL APPLETS do it manuall in this file: /etc/status-menu-items-order.conf

3. Logout quick status updater:

When Quick Status Updater stops working, use this tweak to logout and re-login.

2. System UI Extensions

This tweak is still in BETA so tread with caution!

Pre-requisites for using System UI Extensions:

- Removal of Unrestricted System-UI & MT-Toggles, if present

- Uninstallation of previous versions upto 0.0.3f before any new upgrade is done.

- New upgrades can be done by just installing over the current installation for versions higher than 0.0.3f.

This tweak will add a new entry in Settings -> Applications -> Status Menu Extensions

You can Deactivate any toggle by LONG PRESSING.

Re-arrange toggles by using a SHORT PRESS.

Tweak U: Zoom in Video Recording & Silent Sounds

This Tweak Requires a REBOOT.

Another option in this tweak is to have a BOLD or LIGHT FONT.

Some pics:

Tweak AA: Uninstall Original Apps [UNDER TESTING]

ONLY to be used by PRO/ADVANCED Users!!!

Under Testing currently, will replace Tweak QQ in the future.

If tweak QQ has been used before, restore all apps back by using Tweak QQ-4.

If further apps were uninstalled not in Tweak QQ restore them before restoring using QQ-4.

To use Tweak AA, you need to choose whether you are running mp-harmattan-001-pr or mp-harmattan-005-pr.

When removing apps, MAKE SURE the mp-harmattan-001/005-pr package is NOT being removed too! This will break your system otherwise!

A typical Twitter uninstallation should look like:

The following packages will be REMOVED

account-plugin-twitter

l10n-app-twitter

l10n-app-twittershare

libmeegotwitter1

twitter

twitter-meego

twitter-qml

webupload-service-twitter

0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 8 to remove and 0 not upgraded

Again, ENSURE there is no mp-harmattan-001/005-pr package to be removed too.

If you see the mp-harmattan package being removed too, cancel the removal, restore all apps using this tweak along with a re-installation of mp-harmattan before trying to uninstall an app again.

Tweak BB: Display Tweaker
