How to personalize your N900 device

Using the same widget on multiple desktops

The folder /usr/share/applications/hildon contains files that contain info about installed programs. Duplicating these files will result in duplicating them in the shortcut list. However, this will result in a side effect causing the program to show multiple times the programs in the "More.." folder.

Application Menu

Camera Sound

In /usr/share/sounds the files camera_snd_title_1, 2 and 3 (1 is the camera shutter sound, 2 is the video recording sound and 3 is the focus sound) just replace them with any working wav sound file OR for a SILENT CAMERA just rename or delete these files! [1]

Command line hacks

Change wallpaper

gconftool -s --type string /apps/osso/hildon-desktop/views/1/bg-image $PATHTOIMAGE

Replace 1 with the number of the desktop that you'd like affected.[2]

Editing SMS and Chat templates

You can change the way you read SMS and chat conversations by editing the html files in /usr/share/rtcom-messaging-ui/html.[3]
