[edit] Tweaks

I've done some "tweaking":

• repartitioning MMC (with parted)
• change from vfat to ext3 (camera and USB mass storage still work)
• enable usb networking in PC suite-mode

[edit] Great Apps

• iodine gets you online without using your credit card at airports :)
• openvpn give you access to your asterisk while staying in insecure WLANs

[edit] RescueMenu

Tired of bricking your N900? Don't want to lose your changes in the root-fs? Here's my solution: RescueMenu

Download it from

http://www.jakob.weite-welt.com/RescueMenu/RescueMenu.item

apt-get install bootmenu-n900

and place RescueMenu.item at /etc/bootmenu.d/RescueMenu.item. This file breaks all functionality of bootmenu.sh but it's broken anyway (IMHO).

Next time you reboot your device with open keyboard you get all this features

• access with USB networking via ssh
• access to your whole 32 GB MMC as an usb-storage device
• shell access via USB console (e.g. minicom)
• rsync daemon
• it does not need R&D-Mode to be enabled

[edit] ssh via Bluetooth

Just place this file into /etc/bluetooth/serial.conf:

[Proxy DUN]
UUID=00001103-0000-1000-8000-00805F9B34FB
Address=localhost:22

as root run on your N900:

stop bluetoothd
start bluetoothd

On your client run:

rfcomm bind /dev/rfcomm0 <MyPhonesBTAddressHere>

And use ser2net to attach the device to a listening socket again...

What this is good for?

• use 3G from a notebook without USB cable
• use your N900 as a "WLAN2BT repeater"
