This list of [[Nokia N900]] accessories is made to only list accessories that are specifically made for the N900, with the only exception being carry cases and batteries that may fit other cell phones as well. The makers name ''by xyz'' will link directly to the product on the makers page, where available. And if theres no link, you can Google your way out of it.

** 3 X Rubberized Hard Cases Cover Skin For NOKIA N900 - by [http://stores.ebay.com/ITsurpRise itsurprise] These hard cases fit very well, and with no undesirable rubbing/interference. However the colors aren't too exciting. Black is a nice understated look. Similar cases are available from other sellers, particularly some with spectacular colors from 'londonmagic'. However this seller doesn't appear to be active (as of June 2010). Some cases will need to be shimmed (with insulation tape, etc.) for a more secure fit, and interfering edges, tabs, etc. may need to be filed.

I have this case for my N900 (PDair vertical pouch with belt clip). The quality of the outer leather and stitching is very good, but the inner faces where the phone slides in seems to be vinyl rather than soft leather or suede. The tension on the phone body seems just right, neither too tight nor too loose. The case is possibly just a couple of millimetres too shallow to protect the N900 at the open end , but that might be just a little picky! A nice case, but not the ultimate, I'm still looking for better.

* Black Leather Vertical Flip Carry Case Cover Pouch For Nokia N900 - by AAJ Trading

Ive tried this case from Amazon, this does not fit the N900 well, or maybe its just my case.
Secondly there is transparent plastic strip which holds the N900 in place and it covers the bottom 1/3 of the screen, moving the stylus over it or even doing a slide motion is obstructive. This is my personal opinion, please feel free to correct this post if somebody had a good experience with this.

''This is correct, my N900 will not even fit inside this case, the plastic part that covers the bottom will break if I try to push more than 1cm of the phone in. This is a very bad case which is a shame as it looks nice when closed up.''

<strike>I agree, the AAJ Trading flip case is useless. I can't get my phone in and if I did it would cover up the USB port and also not allow the use of the keyboard.</strike> ''After looking at some of the pictures of other cases I see I was trying to use it wrong. The clear plastic goes over the keyboard not the screen. They it goes in okay. You still can't charge it in the case but at least it is possible to get it in and out quite easily. This case is acceptable now.''

* Noreve Authentic Leather Case - [http://www.symbianoasis.com/2010/01/nokia-n900-leather-protection.html Ambition Leather Flip Case ]
It's a beautiful leather case amde from authentic leather. The flip opens to unveil the camera lens at the back of the device. Check out the images to understand what I mean.

- Bad points first - it's expensive, and a little bulky. On the other hand it's extremely well made and a perfect fit for the N900. Very tough, and great protection for your phone. A suede pad behind a stiff leather panel protects the screen. I've had mine since they went on sale (8 months or so) and despite bouncing around a workshop and a muddy 4x4 it still looks like new.

:: The "full body coverage" sadly means you get a lot of small foil parts which must be placed ''exactly''. But even if they are put in the correct place, there are still some blank parts on the body! Especially some of the corners are not protected. Beside that, protection looks very good and handling is improved while usage of the touchscreen is not impaired.
::+ Good protection
::+ Clear vision
::- Sticky surface as in all military type protectors negatively affecting the use of stylus

== Holders ==

Holders posted here should have been specifically made for the N900 and have take its keyboard and "landscape only" mode into consideration, with GPS/map use in mind.

* Table/desk Stands
** [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43593 Laser-Cut Stand for N900] - Landscape only table/desk stand for use with keyboard in or out, including an easy accessible stylus holder. Available in plywood (wood colored or black, and possibly other colors) and acrylic (transparent). International shipping.

* Windscreen Car Holders
** [http://shop.brando.com/universal-windshield-holder-rotatable-360-degree-enhanced-version-_p01432c0309d060.html Brando Universal Holder - Rotatable 360 degree] - For the 'landscape only' buy the wider version which can hold securely the N900 and you can even use the keyboard at the same time; it rotates 360 degree so easily can serve the N900 phone functions. The downside is that the holder is quite big.

== Cables ==
=== Data Cables ===

* Mini to Micro USB adapter with Charge-only/Data switch by [http://shop.brando.com/mini-usb-to-micro-usb-adapter-w-on-off-switch_p04160c0006d001.html Brando] (useful if you want to charge from a source other than a computer or Nokia charger, such as a car USB adapter or an external powerpack such as [http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/us/products/xp8000 Energizer's XP8000]) - Requires a Mini USB cable (available at Brando's website too). The switch does the mandatory D+/- shorting according to USB charging specs, so it's a great alternative for those reluctant to do a simple cable hack, to make all those random chargers out there work with N900

=== TV / Audio / Video Cable ===
* Nokia TV/ Audio/ Video output cable Nokia CA-75U by [http://www.shoppingtelecom.com/shopcontroller/ShopRequestAdaptor.php?REQUEST01=4000&REQUEST02=4003&catid=&afid=3&itemid=81277 ShoppingTelecom]. To make the N900 work with this cable for a simple hookup to your home stereo you need to short the yellow plug (use tin foil / whatever you feel might do the job)

== Batteries ==

=== Internal batteries ===

==== Official Nokia battery ====

* The standard internal battery included with the Nokia N900 is the 3.7 V 1320 mAh [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/batteries/nokia-battery-bl-5j Nokia BL-5J] providing a total of 4.9 Wh of power.

==== Extended batteries ====

* The [http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/nokia/nokia-n900/mugen-power-nokia-n900-2400mah-extended-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html# Mugen Power HLI-N900XL] is a 3.7 V, 2400 mAh after-market replacement battery designed for the N900, providing 8.88 Wh of power at the cost of replacing the back cover and increasing the thickness of the phone by 7 mm. It is reviewed [http://gerrymoth.co.uk/?p=58 here].

* The [http://www.eastmaze.com/High-Capacity-1500mAh-BL-5J-Battery-for-Nokia-Cell-Phone-p1394.html# High Capacity 1500mAh BL-5J Battery for Nokia Cell Phone] is a 3.6 V 1500 mAh battery that fits inside the N900 like a BL-5J. Have ordered two of these from Hong Kong and will update you if they are any good.

* According to an extensive [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568 thread] where several types of aftermarket batteries were tested, the most powerful direct substitute of the stock Nokia battery so far (June 2011) is the 1420 mAH blue Scud battery, which performed better than its own claim, showing a real 1510 mAh capacity.

* '''''In update, as of [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568 Sep 2012] the best replacement BL-5J battery is the PolarCell replacement. It's easily available in Europe and has a better capacity than the best (1420mAh) blue scud.'''''

=== External batteries ===

'''Warning''': many external power packs [http://thenokiaguide.com/2009/12/16/the-n900-and-external-battery-packs/ are reported not to work well] or not to work at all with the Nokia N900. There are two principal reasons for this:

# The N900 uses a [http://danielwould.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/n900-charging-from-dumb-charger/ strict implementation of the USB specifications], which means you need a dumb charger (or a cable) that adheres to the spec. (However see [http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Accessories#Cables "about D+/- short"] on this page)
# The N900's internal battery holds 4.9 Wh of power, so charging it fully from a charger based on one or two 1.2V 1800m Ah AA rechargeable cells (totalling 2.16 to 4.32 Wh of power) is simply not possible and never will be.

'''Therefore, this section lists only external batteries that are explicitly marketed as being compatible with the N900 or are confirmed as such by multiple reviews. '''

* The [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/chargers/nokia-extra-power-dc-11/specifications Nokia Extra Power DC-11] is a 3.7V 1500mAh external battery pack, providing an additional 5.55Wh of power. It is marketed by Nokia as being compatible with the N900. However, users report that while it can top up the N900's battery, the DC-11 is not capable of recharging it from flat.
* The [http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des Proporta USB Turbocharger 3400] is reported to work well with the N900 [http://nokia-n900.com/proporta-usb-turbocharger-3400-additional-power-in-your-pocket/ both in this review] and also [http://thenokiaguide.com/2009/12/16/the-n900-and-external-battery-packs/ here]. It holds a 3.7 V, 3400 mAh external power pack (providing an additional 12.58 Wh of power) and provides a charging current of 700 mA at 5.5 V (3.85 W). Note that the basic version does not come with a mains adapter and so it charges only via USB. The [http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4661&t_mode=des Proporta USB Turbocharger 3400 World Pack] is the same device with the addition of a worldwide mains USB charger and a car charger. This increases your charging options, but be aware that it will not increase the charging speed.

== Gaming ==

* Game-gripper gaming controller for [http://www.game-gripper.eu/buy_n900.aspx Europe] and [http://www.home.game-gripper.com/buy/n900 the rest of the world].

== Memory Cards ==

=== The device ===
The [[Nokia N900|N900]] has a memory card expansion slot, which can be accessed by removing the back cover. It is next to the camera lens. This is not to be confused with the SIM slot, which is under the battery, because they are not dis-similar in size. In the device's standard configuration, it does not need to be turned off while inserting or removing a memory card. Using such a card will increase available storage which can be very useful when running other OSs, such as [http://nitdroid.com nitdroid].

=== Compatability of cards ===
The N900 supports [http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ micro SDHC] cards, it does not offically support [http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc/ micro SDXC cards].

Although there have been several confirmed reports of [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84871 working Sandisk 64GB microSDXC cards.] However these may not work in there supplied format.

micro SD memory cards are available in range of sizes/capacities (GB), data transfer speeds ([http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ class]) and types. When the N900 was released, the maximum capcity micro SD cards was 16GB (now commonly available).

The fastest cards available in SDHC format are UHS-1 (Jun 2011), there is some suggestion that these [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61798 can work in the device (TBC)] but there are confirmed reports of a number class 10 cards working well.

=== Maintenance ===
Memory cards are fragile and should be treated with the same care as any electrical device with exposed terminals.

Memory cards of this type are designed to be easy to remove and insert. However, in order to achieve an optimal lifespan, cards should be taken out of and put back into the device as little as possible. Continual extraction and replacement will cause wear to the contacts, of both the card and device.

Cards that present as malfunctioning often do so because of damaged contacts. Eroded contacts can be repaired, using a little contact spray. In order to clean the device contacts, put a litlle cleaner on a card's contacts and insert into the device before the cleaner dries; repeat if necessary.

=== Cards available ===
Unfortunately, not all cards are equal. Some perform as advertised, while others have less storage and/or are slower than advertised. This is particularly so with higher capacities and speeds. Furthermore, unbranded or unexpectedly inexpensive cards should be treated with extreme caution.

The tables below are results of experiences using the N900 with the each card.
The ontent of the table (1) is a collation of user comments and is intended as a guide to other N900 users of what works, rather than a definitive list of which cards to buy. Many of the cards will be available in regions additional to those reported thus far. Table (2) lists any problems found when using some cards with the N900. Because card-use is very varied, it might be that a given card (size, speed & brand) will appear in both tables.

Single digit values for Capacity & Speed have been prefixed by '0' so the table sorts properly.

=== Car Chargers ===
[http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=416562&postcount=15 Discussion revealed] that some early or generic car lighter to USB adapters will not charge the N900 without modification. The charger must conform to a 1998 USB charger standard. If in doubt, check the product specifications to confirm that it is compatible with the N900.

Also, there are reports that high power consumption usage in the car, such as operating the transmitter, media player, GPS, etc. simultaneously, can consume more power than a basic car charger can simultaneously supply. If such usage is expected, a higher-output charger would be more effective.

However this seller doesn't appear to be active (as of June 2010). Some cases will need to be shimmed (with insulation tape, etc.) for a more secure fit, and interfering edges, tabs, etc. may need to be filed.

I have this case for my N900 (PDair vertical pouch with belt clip). The quality of the outer leather and stitching is very good, but the inner faces where the phone slides in seems to be vinyl rather than soft leather or suede. The tension on the phone body seems just right, neither too tight nor too loose. The case is possibly just a couple of millimetres too shallow to protect the N900 at the open end , but that might be just a little picky! A nice case, but not the ultimate, I'm still looking for better.

* Black Leather Vertical Flip Carry Case Cover Pouch For Nokia N900 - by AAJ Trading

Ive tried this case from Amazon, this does not fit the N900 well, or maybe its just my case.
Secondly there is transparent plastic strip which holds the N900 in place and it covers the bottom 1/3 of the screen, moving the stylus over it or even doing a slide motion is obstructive. This is my personal opinion, please feel free to correct this post if somebody had a good experience with this.

''This is correct, my N900 will not even fit inside this case, the plastic part that covers the bottom will break if I try to push more than 1cm of the phone in. This is a very bad case which is a shame as it looks nice when closed up.''

<strike>I agree, the AAJ Trading flip case is useless. I can't get my phone in and if I did it would cover up the USB port and also not allow the use of the keyboard.</strike> ''After looking at some of the pictures of other cases I see I was trying to use it wrong. The clear plastic goes over the keyboard not the screen. They it goes in okay. You still can't charge it in the case but at least it is possible to get it in and out quite easily. This case is acceptable now.''

- Bad points first - it's expensive, and a little bulky. On the other hand it's extremely well made and a perfect fit for the N900. Very tough, and great protection for your phone. A suede pad behind a stiff leather panel protects the screen. I've had mine since they went on sale (8 months or so) and despite bouncing around a workshop and a muddy 4x4 it still looks like new.

:: The "full body coverage" sadly means you get a lot of small foil parts which must be placed ''exactly''. But even if they are put in the correct place, there are still some blank parts on the body! Especially some of the corners are not protected. Beside that, protection looks very good and handling is improved while usage of the touchscreen is not impaired.

== Holders ==

** [http://shop.brando.com/universal-windshield-holder-rotatable-360-degree-enhanced-version-_p01432c0309d060.html Brando Universal Holder - Rotatable 360 degree] - For the 'landscape only' buy the wider version which can hold securely the N900 and you can even use the keyboard at the same time; it rotates 360 degree so easily can serve the N900 phone functions. The downside is that the holder is quite big.

== Cables ==
=== Data Cables ===
* USB Data Cable (CA-101) For Nokia N900 by [http://www.cellphoneshop.net/usbdacaforno4.html CellPhoneShop]
* Mini to Micro USB adapter with Charge-only/Data switch by [http://shop.brando.com/mini-usb-to-micro-usb-adapter-w-on-off-switch_p04160c0006d001.html Brando] (useful if you want to charge from a source other than a computer or Nokia charger, such as a car USB adapter or an external powerpack such as [http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/us/products/xp8000 Energizer's XP8000]) - Requires a Mini USB cable (available at Brando's website too). The switch does the mandatory D+/- shorting according to USB charging specs, so it's a great alternative for those reluctant to do a simple cable hack, to make all those random chargers out there work with N900

=== TV / Audio / Video Cable ===

To make the N900 work with this cable for a simple hookup to your home stereo you need to short the yellow plug (use tin foil / whatever you feel might do the job)

== Batteries ==

=== Internal batteries ===

==== Official Nokia battery ====

* The standard internal battery included with the Nokia N900 is the 3.7 V 1320 mAh [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/batteries/nokia-battery-bl-5j Nokia BL-5J] providing a total of 4.9 Wh of power.

==== Extended batteries ====

* The [http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com/nokia/nokia-n900/mugen-power-nokia-n900-2400mah-extended-replacement-battery-with-battery-door.html# Mugen Power HLI-N900XL] is a 3.7 V, 2400 mAh after-market replacement battery designed for the N900, providing 8.88 Wh of power at the cost of replacing the back cover and increasing the thickness of the phone by 7 mm. It is reviewed [http://gerrymoth.co.uk/?p=58 here].

* The [http://www.eastmaze.com/High-Capacity-1500mAh-BL-5J-Battery-for-Nokia-Cell-Phone-p1394.html# High Capacity 1500mAh BL-5J Battery for Nokia Cell Phone] is a 3.6 V 1500 mAh battery that fits inside the N900 like a BL-5J. Have ordered two of these from Hong Kong and will update you if they are any good.

* According to an extensive [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568 thread] where several types of aftermarket batteries were tested, the most powerful direct substitute of the stock Nokia battery so far (June 2011) is the 1420 mAH blue Scud battery, which performed better than its own claim, showing a real 1510 mAh capacity.

* '''''In update, as of [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=65568 Sep 2012] the best replacement BL-5J battery is the PolarCell replacement. It's easily available in Europe and has a better capacity than the best (1420mAh) blue scud.'''''

=== External batteries ===

'''Warning''': many external power packs [http://thenokiaguide.com/2009/12/16/the-n900-and-external-battery-packs/ are reported not to work well] or not to work at all with the Nokia N900. There are two principal reasons for this:

# The N900 uses a [http://danielwould.wordpress.com/2010/01/31/n900-charging-from-dumb-charger/ strict implementation of the USB specifications], which means you need a dumb charger (or a cable) that adheres to the spec. (However see [http://wiki.maemo.org/N900_Accessories#Cables "about D+/- short"] on this page)
# The N900's internal battery holds 4.9 Wh of power, so charging it fully from a charger based on one or two 1.2V 1800m Ah AA rechargeable cells (totalling 2.16 to 4.32 Wh of power) is simply not possible and never will be.

'''Therefore, this section lists only external batteries that are explicitly marketed as being compatible with the N900 or are confirmed as such by multiple reviews. '''

* The [http://europe.nokia.com/find-products/accessories/all-accessories/power/chargers/nokia-extra-power-dc-11/specifications Nokia Extra Power DC-11] is a 3.7V 1500mAh external battery pack, providing an additional 5.55Wh of power. It is marketed by Nokia as being compatible with the N900. However, users report that while it can top up the N900's battery, the DC-11 is not capable of recharging it from flat.
* The [http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4662&t_mode=des Proporta USB Turbocharger 3400] is reported to work well with the N900 [http://nokia-n900.com/proporta-usb-turbocharger-3400-additional-power-in-your-pocket/ both in this review] and also [http://thenokiaguide.com/2009/12/16/the-n900-and-external-battery-packs/ here]. It holds a 3.7 V, 3400 mAh external power pack (providing an additional 12.58 Wh of power) and provides a charging current of 700 mA at 5.5 V (3.85 W). Note that the basic version does not come with a mains adapter and so it charges only via USB. The [http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4661&t_mode=des Proporta USB Turbocharger 3400 World Pack] is the same device with the addition of a worldwide mains USB charger and a car charger.

== Memory Cards ==

=== The device ===
The [[Nokia N900|N900]] has a memory card expansion slot, which can be accessed by removing the back cover. It is next to the camera lens. This is not to be confused with the SIM slot, which is under the battery, because they are not dis-similar in size. In the device's standard configuration, it does not need to be turned off while inserting or removing a memory card. Using such a card will increase available storage which can be very useful when running other OSs, such as [http://nitdroid.com nitdroid].

=== Compatability of cards ===
The N900 supports [http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdhc/ micro SDHC] cards, it does not offically support [http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/sdxc/ micro SDXC cards].

Although there have been several confirmed reports of [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84871 working Sandisk 64GB microSDXC cards.] However these may not work in there supplied format.

micro SD memory cards are available in range of sizes/capacities (GB), data transfer speeds ([http://www.sdcard.org/developers/tech/speed_class/ class]) and types. When the N900 was released, the maximum capcity micro SD cards was 16GB (now commonly available).

The fastest cards available in SDHC format are UHS-1 (Jun 2011), there is some suggestion that these [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61798 can work in the device (TBC)] but there are confirmed reports of a number class 10 cards working well.

=== Maintenance ===
Memory cards are fragile and should be treated with the same care as any electrical device with exposed terminals.

Memory cards of this type are designed to be easy to remove and insert. However, in order to achieve an optimal lifespan, cards should be taken out of and put back into the device as little as possible. Continual extraction and replacement will cause wear to the contacts, of both the card and device.

Cards that present as malfunctioning often do so because of damaged contacts. Eroded contacts can be repaired, using a little contact spray. In order to clean the device contacts, put a litlle cleaner on a card's contacts and insert into the device before the cleaner dries; repeat if necessary.

=== Cards available ===
Unfortunately, not all cards are equal. Some perform as advertised, while others have less storage and/or are slower than advertised. This is particularly so with higher capacities and speeds. Furthermore, unbranded or unexpectedly inexpensive cards should be treated with extreme caution.

The tables below are results of experiences using the N900 with the each card.
The ontent of the table (1) is a collation of user comments and is intended as a guide to other N900 users of what works, rather than a definitive list of which cards to buy. Many of the cards will be available in regions additional to those reported thus far. Table (2) lists any problems found when using some cards with the N900. Because card-use is very varied, it might be that a given card (size, speed & brand) will appear in both tables.

Single digit values for Capacity & Speed have been prefixed by '0' so the table sorts properly.

=== Car Chargers ===
[http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=416562&postcount=15 Discussion revealed] that some early or generic car lighter to USB adapters will not charge the N900 without modification. The charger must conform to a 1998 USB charger standard. If in doubt, check the product specifications to confirm that it is compatible with the N900.

Also, there are reports that high power consumption usage in the car, such as operating the transmitter, media player, GPS, etc. simultaneously, can consume more power than a basic car charger can simultaneously supply. If such usage is expected, a higher-output charger would be more effective.

== Flashing the device ==
The following flashing procedure has proven the most stable to me:

{{warning}}Always use a fully charged battery!

* Turn your device off, disconnect USB
* (As root) flash the FIASCO firmware image:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
* When you get "No suitable USB device found" connect your N900 through USB.
* Wait for the flashing to finish.
{{warning}} Don't reboot

* Flash original eMMC image:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
* Wait for the flashing to finish.
* Reboot the device by _reinserting_ the battery

Upon first login, enter your locale settings (Timezone, local time, etc.).

Run latest official Nokia SSU (upgrades your device firmware to V1.3.1) by launching App manager / Update from the applications menu.

== Getting root access ==
[http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access 1001 ways of becoming root]

* Add the Extras-Testing repository to the Hildon Application Managers catalog
name: Maemo extras-testing
uri: deb http://skeiron.org/repo/repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
dist: fremantle
components: free non-free

* Add the Extras-Devel repository as well
name: Maemo extras-development
uri: http://extras-devel.merlin1991.at/ fremantle free non-free
dist: fremantle
components: free non-free

* Disable OVI repository (conflicts with CSSU)

* Wait for repository update to finish (Hildon Application Manager is slooow) and install 'rootsh' from the system section.

* To get remote access over the network (way more comfy) install SSH server by launching XTerminal from the application menu and running:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install openssh
You will be asked for your new root password.
/*TODO: Change PW hash to enable passwords > 8 chars */

* Finally launch xterm and run
ifconfig wlan0

* Write down the IP address - from now on you can use the SSH client of your choice to connect to your favorite pocket computer - enjoy!

= Upgrade to CSSU-thumb =
[http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU What's CSSU?]

[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84829 What's thumb2 ISA?]

{{info}} cssu-thumb contains a kernel based on kp51r1, therefore you automatically benefit from all kernel-power features (undervolting, overclocking, framebuffer, ...). See [http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power Kernel Power Wiki] and [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85665 Kernel Power 51r1 on tmo]

== Repositories ==
Disable extras-testing - it will be replaced by its thump-compiled counterpart from the CSSU repository. Make sure Nokia and Maemo Extras repositories are enabled though.

To avoid thumb-compiled binaries being overwritten by upgrades from non-thumb repositories use the following /etc/apt/preferences file

= Backup your device =
* Don't backup unnecessary stuff, so
rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*
* Reboot with keyboard open
* Select default kernel
* In backupmenu press 'b' to start backup
* Press 'q' to backup both rootfs and optfs
* Select 'p' twice to store backup on /home/user/MyDocs
* Wait for backup to finish
* Connect USB to Linux box
* Press 'w' to export eMMC as mass storage device
* On your Linux box check 'dmesg' to identify device names (e.g. /dev/sdX), mount /dev/sdX1, switch to the mount point (e.g. /media/usb) and run
tar -cf /home/user/MyDocs_backup.tar

= Adjust eMMC partitioning =
/* TODO: Evaluate better filesystems and possibly alignment */
* With eMMC still exported as mass storage device using backupmenu point your favorite partition manager to /dev/sdX

To avoid concurrent I/O access to swap and optfs (both mmcblk0), move swap to your SD card (mmcblk1)
* On your SD card create a swap partition /dev/mmcblk1pX of approx. 1.5GiB
* Edit /etc/event.d/rcS-late and change the line
/sbin/cryptsetup -d /dev/urandom create swapenc /dev/mmcblk0p3

to

/sbin/cryptsetup -d /dev/urandom create swapenc /dev/mmcblk1pX

N900 The Perfect Setup

2013-01-31T08:39:42Z

188.155.55.161: /* Essential software packages */

=Introduction=
This page serves the purpose of assembling a complete and current howto-guide for the perfect N900 setup.
The initial information here is based on my personal experience and the rich trove of experience which is talk.maemo.org.
Please keep this page alive by adding your improvements and keeping it up to date as Maemo evolves.

{{warning}} '''Disclaimer:''' ''This page is a work in progress and will probably never be finished. Some of the procedures might prove to be quite risky. There's no guarantee that your phone won't start to eat your cat. You do everything at your own risk.''

= Recommended hardware =
* A Nokia N900, obviously
* SanDisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 / UHS-1 SDHC Card (SU32-G)
* PolarCell 1520 mAh battery
* Standalone battery charger
* USB A-A adapter
* (Linux box)

= Initial setup =
[http://wiki.maemo.org/Updating_the_tablet_firmware#N900 Everything about Firmware Flashing]

Download flasher from the repositories

/* TODO: Use open source flasher */

Download the firmware flasher:
[http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/maemo-dev-env-downloads/ Flasher & SDK Downloads]

Download the latest official Nokia Firmware Images for your N900:
[http://skeiron.org/tablets-dev/nokia_N900/ Firmware Image Downloads]
RX-51_2009SE_10.2010.13-2.VANILLA_PR_EMMC_MR0_ARM.bin

md5sum: b9f8690318a3be61767826d15b8c1784

== Flashing the device ==
The following flashing procedure has proven the most stable to me:

{{warning}}Always use a fully charged battery!

* Turn your device off, disconnect USB
* (As root) flash the FIASCO firmware image:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
* When you get "No suitable USB device found" connect your N900 through USB.
* Wait for the flashing to finish.
{{warning}} Don't reboot

* Flash original eMMC image:
flasher-3.5 -F RX-51_2009SE_20.2010.36-2_PR_COMBINED_MR0_ARM.bin -f
* Wait for the flashing to finish.
* Reboot the device by _reinserting_ the battery

Upon first login, enter your locale settings (Timezone, local time, etc.).

Run latest official Nokia SSU (upgrades your device firmware to V1.3.1) by launching App manager / Update from the applications menu.

== Getting root access ==
[http://wiki.maemo.org/Root_access 1001 ways of becoming root]

* Add the Extras-Testing repository to the Hildon Application Managers catalog
name: Maemo extras-testing
uri: deb http://skeiron.org/repo/repository.maemo.org/extras-testing/ fremantle free non-free
dist: fremantle
components: free non-free

* Add the Extras-Devel repository as well
name: Maemo extras-development
uri: http://extras-devel.merlin1991.at/ fremantle free non-free
dist: fremantle
components: free non-free

* Disable OVI repository (conflicts with CSSU)

* Wait for repository update to finish (Hildon Application Manager is slooow) and install 'rootsh' from the system section.

* To get remote access over the network (way more comfy) install SSH server by launching XTerminal from the application menu and running:
sudo gainroot
apt-get install openssh
You will be asked for your new root password.
/*TODO: Change PW hash to enable passwords > 8 chars */

* Finally launch xterm and run
ifconfig wlan0

* Write down the IP address - from now on you can use the SSH client of your choice to connect to your favorite pocket computer - enjoy!

= Upgrade to CSSU-thumb =
[http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU What's CSSU?]

[http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=84829 What's thumb2 ISA?]

{{info}} cssu-thumb contains a kernel based on kp51r1, therefore you automatically benefit from all kernel-power features (undervolting, overclocking, framebuffer, ...). See [http://wiki.maemo.org/Kernel_Power Kernel Power Wiki] and [http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85665 Kernel Power 51r1 on tmo]

== Repositories ==
Disable extras-testing - it will be replaced by its thump-compiled counterpart from the CSSU repository. Make sure Nokia and Maemo Extras repositories are enabled though.

To avoid thumb-compiled binaries being overwritten by upgrades from non-thumb repositories use the following /etc/apt/preferences file
Package: *
Pin: release a=community-thumb
Pin-Priority: 700

Package: *
Pin: release a=Extras-devel-light
Pin-Priority: 500

* Connect USB to Linux box
* Press 'w' to export eMMC as mass storage device
* On your Linux box check 'dmesg' to identify device names (e.g. /dev/sdX), mount /dev/sdX1, switch to the mount point (e.g. /media/usb) and run
tar -cf /home/user/MyDocs_backup.tar

= Adjust eMMC partitioning =
/* TODO: Evaluate better filesystems and possibly alignment */
* With eMMC still exported as mass storage device using backupmenu point your favorite partition manager to /dev/sdX
* Adjust partitions to your needs (align to MiB, not cylinders), for example
'''dev''' '''size''' '''fs''' '''mountpoint'''
mmcblk0p1 24576MiB vfat /home/user/MyDocs
mmcblk0p2 5120MiB ext2 /home
mmcblk0p3 835MiB swap

It's recommended to leave /dev/mmcblk0p1 as vfat for /home/user/MyDocs as it needs less tweaks to maemos mmc-scripts. For other options visit [http://wiki.maemo.org/Repartitioning_the_flash repartitioning the flash]

Migrating to Community-driven Infrastructure

2013-01-21T22:02:22Z

188.155.55.161: /* Services */

== Introduction ==
As of January, 18th 2013 the *.maemo.org infrastructure has been completely migrated to new locations independant of Nokia servers. Talk.maemo.org forum been integrated with the other infra. Handing over control to community still pending, right now it's still Nemein and affiliates to control that infra.

This page is intended as a central place where status and other operational information can be gathered.

== Inventory (obsolete, please update) ==

As a first step we try to gather information about the present infrastructure at *.maemo.org and *.meego.com. This "inventory" is intended to provide an overview about all components of the infrastructure as well as to provide information that will later on aid during the actual migration.

Currently the following topics are considered important for the migration:

* Legal Issues (Names, Trademarks, Domain Names, etc.)
* Infrastructure (Web Site, Forum, Wiki, Autobuilder + MeeGo OBS, Mailinglists, Garage, etc.)
* Steering (How do we want to organize ourselves? However, please keep this thread on technical details and discuss political issues in a distinct thread at talk.maemo.org.)

=== Legal Issues ===

==== What is the state about the name "Maemo"? ====
"... Maemo is currently a registered trademark of Nokia and the domain name is owned by Nokia. Our previous request to transfer the domain name was denied - I don't expect that to change. We have "maemocommunity.org" as a backup. ..." http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1226264&postcount=8

Negotiations about domain ownership still ongoing between Hildon Foundation board and Nokia (2013-01-20), if community can't get control over the DNS, we might need a CNAME to some alternative domain hat we are in control of.

==== Who owns "maemo.org"? ====
Domain ID:D105692361-LROR 
Domain Name:MAEMO.ORG 
Created On:07-Feb-2005 16:26:32 UTC 
Last Updated On:07-Jan-2013 10:25:55 UTC 
Expiration Date:07-Feb-2014 16:26:32 UTC 
Sponsoring Registrar:MarkMonitor Inc. (R37-LROR) 

Registrant ID:mmr-31461 
Registrant Name:Nokia Corporation 
Registrant Organization:Nokia Corporation 
Registrant Street1:P.O.Box 226 
Registrant Street2:Nokia Group 
Registrant Postal Code:00045 
Registrant Country:FI 
Registrant Phone:+358.718008000 
Registrant FAX:+358.718034496 
Registrant Email:dnsauthority@nokia.com 

===== What is needed for the community to run maemo.org? =====
TMO forums donated to Hildon Foundation: http://maemo.org/community/board/tmo_forums_donated_to_hildon_foundation/

===== What are possible legal issues? =====
===== What are the costs? =====
According to the Hildon Foundation it will take $1000 US per month MINIMUM to ensure all of the infrastructure, including professional maintenance, is retained. This is a ballpark figure to give an idea what we're talking about.
This being said, if two hundred users are willing to donate $5 per month on a regular basis, we would be able to continue providing the current maemo.org infrastructure.

If you're willing to donate, please visit http://hildonfoundation.org/support/

==== What about the personal information of the users? ====
It been evaluated that there's no particularly sensitive personalized user info in anything *.maemo.org. General best practice regarding warranty of maximum protection of privacy for mails, mail addresses, other similar data will apply. No data will get disclosed to any third party. No spam mails get sent by those who are in charge of *.maemo.org maintenance. Also basically there's no change in entity running all the services, it's rather a change in board of directors.

Nothing to worry about for the normal user. If you want info about what's the data stored about you inside *maemo.org, or want this data / your account getting permanently deleted, please contact council@maemo.org
