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 This procedure does NOT need to be repeated when you wish to update to a newer version of the app.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.
