== Introduction ==
N9QTweak by '''[http://talk.maemo.org/member.php?u=30535 Schturman]''' 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 from the [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80600 TMO thread]

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.

=== Opening N9QTweak for the first time ever ===

1) Ensure you are connected to the Internet

2) A download menu for the PDF instructions file is displayed following which your chosen language's ''(English/Russian)'' PDF file is downloaded and saved to '''/home/user/MyDocs/Documents/N9_QuickTweak_LANGUAGE_VERSION.pdf'''

3) You are now set to use N9QTweak!

4) If you are unable to be connected to the Internet, the system will save a PDF file to '''/home/user/MyDocs/Documents/''' with links for you to manually download the PDF instructions file.

'''NOTE:''' If you are unable to download the PDF file(s) even if connected to the Internet, make sure you have enabled background connections. Also try using a different Internet Connection. Alternatively, you may use the links in the other PDF file in /home/user/MyDocs/Documents/ to manually download the full PDF instructions file. Once done, copy the full PDF instructions file to /home/user/MyDocs/Documents and delete the links PDF file. Opening N9QTweak now will not give you the PDF download menu anymore.

The following only applies if you keep getting '''bash not found''' error:

1) Use MeeCatalog from the Store to add from the well-known catalogs list, Harmattan SDK repository

2) In terminal as root type the following:

apt-get update

apt-get install bash

3) Now try opening the app again.

== 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 This procedure does NOT need to be repeated when you wish to update to a newer version of the app.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 [https://dl.dropbox.com/u/17706605/N9QTweakBackup_9.6.6_all.zip CLEAN BACKUP]

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.

== Tweaks Menu ==

=== Tweak A: Speed Up Transitions MODs ===
This Tweak REQUIRES a REFRESH!

'''1. Full Speed Up Transition MOD: includes Landscape MOD for Home & Lockscreen.'''

'''2. Speed Up Transitions with Only Homescreen Landscape MOD'''

'''3. Speed Up Transitions with Only Lockscreen Landscape MOD'''

'''4. Only Speed Up Transitions - NO Landscape MOD'''

'''5. Restore to Default: This will restore your Backup files'''

=== Tweak B: Landscape MODs ===

This Tweak REQUIRES a REFRESH!

'''1. Full Landscape MOD (Home & Lockscreen)'''

'''2. Only Homescreen Landscape MOD'''

'''3. Only Lockscreen Landscape MOD'''

'''4. Rotation of Meegotouch apps'''

This option works only for non-locked meegotouch apps i.e. apps written without QML. For example, after the application of this option, your music player, clock, terminal and browser will all be rotated across all 4 sides of your device.

'''5. Hide statusbar for meegotouch apps'''

'''6. Rotation of QML apps'''

'''7. Vesuri MOD for Stock Apps Rotation'''

This option is not recommended for novice users. Kindly read the corresponding [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85425 thread] first before attempting this option!

This option typically applies only the two .deb files you may find in Vesuri's thread. However, you may choose to apply the patch manually by doing the following as ROOT in terminal:
 patch -p0 -i /opt/N9QTweak/Vesuri/libmeegotouch-unlockorientation.patch

You may remove the '''patch''' by doing as ROOT in terminal:
 patch -p0 -R < /opt/N9QTweak/Vesuri/libmeegotouch-unlockorientation.patch

'''NOTE''' before applying:
 This MOD can't be restored to default using option 9 and it is NOT included in Tweak Z!

'''8. Screen Rotation Sensitivity'''
 
Adjust the sensitivity of the accelerometer. Tweak will auto-refresh the device once applied.

For landscape and portrait (1 & 2), the higher the value set the higher the rotation angle required for the screen rotate i.e. higher value means lower sensitivity.

For accelerometer (3), the higher the value set, the higher the sensitivity and conversely the lower the value set, the lower the sensitivity of the accelerometer.

'''9. Restore ALL to Default ''[Except Vesuri MOD]'''''

=== Tweak C: Changelog ===

Running this tweak will display the changelog for the latest version for the user!

=== Tweak E: Games MODs ===

'''1. Add Save option to Samurai II'''

'''2. Add Save option to Gears'''

'''3. Add Save option to Konas Crate'''

'''4. Add Save option to Roboto'''

==== '''Tweak E-7 APKENV project: Android games''' ====

This option allows you to install files from thp's apkenv project as well as creates desktop launchers for games that work currently!

Before running any option in this tweak you should read [http://thp.io/2012/apkenv/ thp's project page] to understand what exactly APKENV is as well as its limitations.

'''Tweak E-7-1: INSTALL Android games'''

Currently, Amazing Alex, Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds (2.3.0), Cut the Rope, Fruit Ninja & World of Goo work using this option. Place the .apk files in '''/home/user/MyDocs/Apkenv''' and rename them to as follows:
 a. Angry Birds Space -> abspace.apk
 b. Angry Birds Seasons -> abseasons.apk
 c. Angry Birds Rio -> abrio.apk
 d. Angry Birds (2.3.0) -> absurf.apk
 e. Fruit Ninja -> fruitninja.apk
 f. Cut the Rope -> ctrope.apk
 g. World of Goo -> wogoo.apk
 h. Amazing Alex -> aalex.apk

Only after copying the .apk files and renaming as above apply this option which will create a desktop icon on your homescreen for you to run the games! '''The first time you run this option, ensure you are connected to the internet for it to download some dependencies.'''

If you are unable to run the games even after doing the above, it means the .apk file is not compatible and you require another .apk file. You may simply replace the .apk file in the directory without having to run Tweak E-7-1 again! Games are auto-saved as long as N9QTweak is used to install them via this option!

'''Tweak E-7-3: UNINSTALL Android games'''

This will remove the desktop launchers only! You may choose multiple games to be removed by separating their numbers by a space i.e. 1 2 3 etc

A desktop icon as well as the ability to run this tweak at start-up are also possible when running this option.

You can edit these files whenever you want and then just reapply this tweak again!

'''4. Restore ALL to Default'''

A REFRESH is need for application of the tweak.

==== '''Tweak W 8: Launcher Indicator & Icon Changer''' ====

Choose a '''Spinner or Progress''' indicator while waiting for apps to launch!

You can also change your '''Desktop Icons''' as follows:

Put your custom icons in '''/home/user/MyDocs/.launchericons/''' according to the following folders:
 
 64x64 – for icons located in: ''/usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps'' (refresh needed)

80x80 - for icons located in: ''/usr/share/icons/hicolor/80x80/apps'' (refresh needed)

Icons - for icons located in: ''/usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icons'' (reboot needed)

opt - for icons located in: ''/opt/your_app/find_your/icon'' – in this folder you need to create a full path to the icon of your application !!! (refresh needed)

If you are not sure where the desktop icon located, you can check it in: '''/usr/share/applications/NAME_OF_APP.desktop'''

The folder named '''original''' includes the same folders for backup of your original icons if you want. This tweak will '''NOT''' create a backup, you need to do a backup manually.

Also in folder '''opt''' - you need to create a full path to the icon of your application !!!

In this [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85769 thread] you can find a some nice icons.

The following command is useful if you wat to replace your icon without REFRESHING your homescren which in turn closes all open apps:

As ROOT:
 sed -i 's/Icon/Icon2/;s/Icon2/Icon/g' /usr/share/applications/*.desktop

All icons on the homesceen will be refreshed WITHOUT closing any apps! Some intermittent lag of a few seconds is to be expected to allow the system to cope with the changes!

==== '''Tweak W 9: Statusbar Background Changer''' ====

A custom image for the Statusbar. Currently, transparent images DO NOT have the required effect.

Method to achieve desired result:

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.

=== Tweak RR: Tweaked Phone Backup/Restore ===

This Tweak will create a backup of your tweaked phone in '''/home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakedBackup/'''

This method is the fastest way to restore your tweaks and apps after a reflash etc. The restoration of apps is done by installing all the '''.deb''' files located in '''/home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All/'''

To prevent the restoration of apps or restoring apps from another location follow these steps:
 To prevent restoration, delete all '''.deb''' files in '''/home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All/'''

=== Fixing Reboot Loop(s) ===

==== Mounting the N9 to a PC (Linux Users Only) ''[Fix MALF State]'' ====

'''WARNING: The below steps will put your phone into Open Mode!'''

'''Note: The instructions are valid on the N9 even though using N950 kernel'''

'''Note 2: The below instructions would work if you know which Tweak(s) you applied before facing the reboot loops'''

'''Note 3: For original files required in step 7 below copy it either from the Clean Backup or request for it in the [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=80600 N9QTweak thread]'''

1. Download the following files from their links and save to '''/home/$USER/Downloads/''' where $USER is your username on the PC

[http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php flasher ''(download 32/64-bit according to your system)'']

[http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/n950liberator/vmlinuz-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-adaptation-n950-bootloader N950 kernel]

[http://stskeeps.subnetmask.net/n950liberator/initrd.img-rescue-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-n950 N950 rescue initrd]

2. Open terminal on your PC and type:

sudo su
 {enter your password}
 cd /home/$USER/Downloads
 flasher --load -k vmlinuz-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-adaptation-n950-bootloader -n initrd.img-rescue-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-n950 --boot

3. A message will pop-up saying '''Suitable Device/Phonenet not found...'''

4. After the above message appears, plug in your POWERED-OFF N9/50 to the PC. Make sure your phone is switched off beforehand; to be sure press the power button for 8 seconds to switch it off

5. Wait 1-3 minutes and your N9 should appear as 3 removable partitions on the system:
 /dev/sdX1 which is MyDocs, /dev/sdX2 which is rootfs and /dev/sdX3 which is the home directory (userfs).

6. If the partitions are not mounted, you can check for their presence either by using GParted Partition Editor or typing the following in terminal:
 fdisk -l

7. Now to fix the problem use the original file to replace the modified file in your rootfs partition (sdX2)

8. Once you are done, unmount the 3 partitions by clicking on eject on your system

9. Upon unmounting completing, plug out your phone from your PC and power it on; the issue should have been resolved now!

===== Removing Warranty Void Message after Fixing Reboot Loop =====

If you wish to remove the warranty void message that appears at every boot-up follow the below steps:

1. On your N9/50 do the following in terminal:
 devel-su
 {enter password - default is ''rootme''}
 /bin/dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=/home/user/MyDocs/rootfs_backup.img
 /bin/dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p3 of=/home/user/MyDocs/userfs_backup.img

The above steps will take quite some time so please be patient. At the end of the above you should get a 4GB rootfs_backup.img and a 2GB userfs_backup.img

2. Copy the rootfs_backup.img and userfs_backup.img from your device to your Linux PC. In these steps we presume to have copied the .img files to '''home/$USER/Downloads/''' where $USER is the username of your PC

3. On your PC, download the stock firmware image for your device, save it to '''/home/$USER/Downloads''' with the name rootfs.bin. Take note, we DO NOT use the emmc.bin image!

4. Open terminal on your PC and type the following:
 sudo su
 {enter your password}
 cd /home/$USER/Downloads
 flasher -f -F rootfs.bin -R

5. Plug in your POWERED-OFF device once the '''Suitable Device/Phonenet not found''' message appears

6. Let the flash complete after which your phone will boot-up

7. Don't PANIC to see your data etc is missing and head to '''Settings->Security->Developer Mode->Install

8. After Developer Mode is intalled, your Device will reboot after which open terminal on your DEVICE and type:
 disclaimer-cal remove View-openmode

9. Power off your device and on your PC type the following in the PC's terminal:
 sudo su
 {enter your password}
 cd /home/$USER/Downloads
 flasher --load -k vmlinuz-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-adaptation-n950-bootloader -n initrd.img-rescue-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-n950 --boot

Plug in your POWERED-OFF DEVICE only when the '''"Suitable Device/Phonenet not found..."''' message appears!

The vmlinuz and initrd files required in the above are the same which were used in '''''Fixing the Reboot Loop via Mounting on PC!'''''

10. As per the fixing reboot loop step, you will get 3 partitions of the N9 appearing in your PC as follows:
 /dev/sdX1 which is MyDocs, /dev/sdX2 which is rootfs and /dev/sdX3 which is the home directory (userfs).

11. Once the partitions are detected, we get your images mounted into them. So in terminal on your PC type:
 sudo su
 {enter your password}
 cd /home/$USER/Downloads/
 dd if=/home/$USER/Downloads/rootfs_backup.img of=/dev/sdX2
 dd if=/home/$USER/Downloads/userfs_backup.img of=/dev/sdX3

The above will take some time to finish so be patient!

12. Once step 11 is finished, you can unmount the 3 partitions of your Device from your PC by clicking on the eject button on the explorer window on your PC.

13. After unmounting, plug out your Device from your PC and power it on; you'll see the warranty void message to have disappeared and all your data restored!

==== RD Mode ====

This method will attempt to boot up your N9 using RD mode allowing you to repair any tweaks that you may applied wrongly!

There is NO guarantee this method will fix your N9 but its highly probable that if you messed up tweaks for appearance, statusbar, system-ui etc this method should fix it up for you!

You will need [http://tablets-dev.nokia.com/maemo-dev-env-downloads.php flasher] for this process!

1. On your PC run cmd.exe as administrator and type the following:
 cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher {change the path according to where you installed flasher}
 flasher --enable-rd-mode --set-rd-flags=no-lifeguard-reset

2. Once a message appears saying '''"Suitable Device/Phonenet not found..." plug in your POWERED OFF Device to your PC

3. RD mode is enabled if a message on cmd.exe appears stating RD mode enabled. Now you may plug out your device from your PC and boot it up. A further sign of RD mode being enabled is the wrench icon you will find at boot-up as well as flashing Camera LEDs and flashing notification LEDs.

4. Once your system is booted up, replace the modified files with those from a clean backup or re-install the necessary system packages to fix the reboot loop.

5. Upon Completion, power off your device and disable rd mode by typing the following on your PC in cmd.exe which is run as administrator:
 cd C:\Program Files\Nokia\Flasher {change the path according to where you installed flasher}
 flasher --disable-rd-mode

6. Boot up your N9 after the above and the reboot loop should be resolved; if it still isn't you need to repeat the above steps and ensure you use a clean backup from the N9QTweak thread to restore all tweaks!

+This will restore all of Tweak W MODs to Default!
-Initially, create theme folders in '''/home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/.backgrounds/themes/''' with the name backgroundXX whereby XX= 01, 02 or 03 ONLY! Therefore, the final folder should be /home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/.backgrounds/themes/background01 or 02, 03.
-background01 will only change homescreen images, background02 will change homescreen images in addition to status bar while background03 will allow for separate images for each homescreen. All 3 options allow for the wallpaper to be changed too. Read the following for each of their instructions:
+=== Tweak X: Create a .DEB file from an existing installed app ===
- For '''/home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/.backgrounds/themes/'''background01''', place '''2''' homescreen images named '''Pdeskbg1.png''' and '''Ldeskbg1.png''' which would be the portrait and landscape images respectively.
