Windows 8 custom firmware for nokia n8


















One big tip: as with any Windows-based system, every time you plug in a device like a smartphone especially in a new 'mode' or into a new USB port there are a bevy of 'Installing drivers Just be patient and let them install - even if it takes 10 minutes or more. After flashing is complete, ignore any scary errors from Phoenix these don't always appear, but There are some post-install configurations that the Delight CFW system needs to put in place, you'll see half a dozen 'phases' pop up on screen, taking about two minutes in all.

Once these 'phases' are done, a final reboot and then you're in business, up and running with Delight. Time to start adding in accounts, applications and passwords, and so on. Have fun! You get slightly more RAM too, with MB free after booting; right the front page of the integral Delight application of which more below.

New for this version of Delight is SMS Themer, letting you bring up a bitmap of your choice behind your text conversations The aforementioned Delight application introduces a wealth of fixes, customisations and clean-ups - a Symbian tinkerer's dream!

Below, I muse on what's different, what's involved and whether you should now take the plunge into this mysterious world. My ethos in terms of covering custom firmware here on All About Symbian has always been "don't touch it while the manufacturer is still issuing updates" - after all, it would be very galling to apply a custom firmware, risking bricking your phone, accepting that the device will be wiped and having to rebuild all your apps and data - and then find out that the manufacturer issues another official update, which you can't then apply.

With the Samsung i HD, it became apparent fairly early on that Samsung's heart wasn't in the device and their last official firmware left the device with almost no system disk space, clearly untenable, so I went all-in on custom firmware , you may remember?

With the Nokia X6 and , it became apparent that Nokia had stopped all further development for S60 5th Edition phones, so again I headed in and got an improved device as a result.

At which point the gloves will be off and I'll start delving into custom firmware. Which brings us to "Delight 6. There aren't, in fact, many clues from this 'Delight' promo graphic to show that the firmware offers anything new - this could almost be yet another theme:.

There's a lot below, so look out for the lines I've highlighted in bold, with comments inline in italics:. These sound interesting - anyone remember which screensavers we had back in early ? Me neither! Ah, being able to create sub-folders will be very welcome to some e. Actually, I find these helpful, confirming which mode the phone thinks it's in. But each to his own I'm assuming this means allowing File manager to access parts of the file system that are hidden from the standard application.

Wouldn't this slow Web down, having a larger and larger cache?
