All these hacks are tested, but the cmdlines here are just off top of my head, so maybe typos or sth can be found. Please report on http://wiki.maemo.org/index.php?title=User_talk:Joerg_rw/tools&action=edit . Thanks!

To make the plastic case melt and burn your fingers and your cat, click http://joerg.cloud-7.de/repositories.install (includes '''test, devel, and tools'''. Attention, will create dups, so check your '''catalog list''' in HAM anyway)

Patch eMMC aka *VANILLA* image file for '''larger /home partition''' (much easier than repartitioning the N900 *after* flashing. So if that's not obvious, this part is meant to be done on your linux desktop, prior to fresh full flash):
<pre>
NEW-HOME-SIZE=4096
# Size is in MB, you probably can increase /home partition to some 28G
sed -e "s/2048/$NEW-HOME-SIZE/" path/to/*VANILLA*.bin >patched-VANILLA.bin
