Nokia N9 QuickTweak tool v9.5 (for PR 1.3 only)
Hello
This app have a different set of tweaks like Speed Up Transitions based on versions from PR1.1 that created by F2thaK
(Thanks)…
I also used some stuff from Almehdin’s script and I got a big help with some my commands from hxka from Russian
forum (Thanks to both of you). This script work properly only on PR 1.3 and base/blanco theme !!!
This package including option to Backup files from your phone before you start to tweak.
I tried this app a few times and it’s work perfectly and quickly, but still I'm not responsible for the damage will cause to
your phone . (video of F2thaK v2.6)
If you use Home screen settings app, use N9 QTwaek carefully – it can cause REBOOT LOOP !
DON’T use rotation from tweak A, B and background changer from tweak W !!!
If you use some tweaks that you need write something, PLEASE write letters exactly like in default or example strings, big or small letters. You will see this in the question like (def. LIGHT), this mean write big letters, or (ex. ffffff) this mean write small letters. If you will do mistake, sometimes this can cause REBOOT LOOP.
If you broke your device and you need to reflash, you can use my instruction or read this post.
Before installation, make sure you have "allow other sources" set in settings and developer-mode activated.
Installation:
Download and transfer the .deb file (thanks to Ammyt & hxka) to your phone.
Install the .deb file by the usual way (double tap on file).
Go to application Homescreen. You will see a new icon (Thanks to 3llipsis) at the end of the list and you can see the
PDF instruction inside the: /home/user/MyDocs/Documents
Tap on it and it will ask you for password of devel-su (default: rootme)
Choose letter you want and press Enter (you can write big or small character).
NOTE:
Run “Create Backup !!!” (tweak K) on your first use of this app, you need to do this only once ! When you will
update to new version, you DON’T need to do this again.. You also don’t need to run “Restore” before updating !
To update to new version, just install new .deb file (double click). If you forget to create backup, you can download my clean backup. Just extract from ZIP and put to your phone, to: /home/user/MyDocs.
After creating Backup, start to play with tweak A, because of some tweaks that uses same files and if you restore A,
this also can restore some other tweaks and you will need reapply them…
You can choose more of one tweaks separated by one space and press ENTER. (ex: A B D E ... Enter)
Some tweaks need refresh or reboot and if you want to use more tweaks in the same session, just put this letters at the
end. Or use what you want, but don't refresh them until the end of the session.

For ex. after applying you can use your Player or Clock with upside down, Terminal and Browser in all 4
F. Lock screen & Low power screen MODs – This will add operator logo to your lockscreen (Thanks to superjunior). You

Added new option for transferring your custom colored icons to Tweak F-5. For now, Tweak F-5 have this list of
colored icons for lowpower screen & statusbar (your backup also have ONLY this icons set):
You can change them if you want by creating new icons and putting them to the folder named “.newicons” on your
phone: /home/user/MyDocs/.newicons
After this, go to the tweak F, choose option 6, then press enter. Your new icons will override this icons list. Now go to
tweak F again, choose option 5 to apply them, then press enter. Reboot needed at the end.
By this way you can add and apply more/other icons like "qneptunea", but before doing this, you will need to backup
your other icons manually...
Activate Fullscreen image for Lockscreen – it’s activate a big-fullscreen image for Lockscreen Landscape
MOD, but before you apply this, you need to do something... Read this (thanks to jflatt).

Choose the number of pic that you want to apply and [hit Enter]. No need to reboot !!! And now you will get fullscreen image on your Landscape Lockscreen. Added option for “Give a name to your pictures” – it will be easy to remember which picture you want to apply.

Explanation (2 images):
If you activated landscape mode, and you want to show the two images, one for portrait (on all 3 screens),
and one for landscape (on all 3 screens), you can activate the option 1, make 2 pictures (one for landscape
and one for the portrait.)
1. Create 2 pictures named:
1) “Pdeskbg1” with an 480x854 px dimension and with .png extension (Pdeskbg1.png) for portrait.
2) “Ldeskbg1” with an 854x480 px dimension and with .png extension (Ldeskbg1.png) for landscape.
2. Put this images from your PC to: /home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/.backgrounds
3. Open N9 QTweak app (password of devel-su, default: rootme), choose w [hit Enter], then choose 1 [hit Enter]. 4. Your setting will take effect after reboot. You can choose to restart immediately or not.
If you use only portrait mode, it is enough to make one picture (Pdeskbg1.png) and on all three screens, you will have
exact same picture...
Explanation (6 images):
If you activated landscape mode, and you want to display different pictures for each screen, you can
activate the option 2, by preparing six different images, so you will have 6 different screens (3 landscape
and 3 portrait).
1. Create 6 pictures named:
1) “Pdeskbg1” with an 480x854 px dimension and with .png extension (Pdeskbg1.png) for portrait.
2) “Ldeskbg1” with an 854x480 px dimension and with .png extension (Ldeskbg1.png) for landscape.
3) “Pdeskbg2” with an 480x854 px dimension and with .png extension (Pdeskbg2.png) for portrait.
4) “Ldeskbg2” with an 854x480 px dimension and with .png extension (Ldeskbg2.png) for landscape.
5) “Pdeskbg3” with an 480x854 px dimension and with .png extension (Pdeskbg3.png) for portrait.
6) “Ldeskbg3” with an 854x480 px dimension and with .png extension (Ldeskbg3.png) for landscape.
2. Put this images from your PC to: /home/user/MyDocs/Pictures/.backgrounds
3. Open N9 QTweak app (password of devel-su, default: rootme), choose w [hit Enter], then choose 2 [hit Enter]. 4. Your setting will take effect after reboot. You can choose to restart immediately or not.
OO. Lock your favorite application - You can lock 5 applications with password (Gallery/Video/Mail/Messages/N9QT).
You have 4 options (Refresh needed at the end):
This lock NOT work if you open your Mail or SMS from the lockscreen or notification screen.
1. Lock app - You can change default password and lock your app.
2. Unlock app - Unlock your app one by one or all together.
3. Remove LockApp and restore to default - Unlock all your app and remove lock app
4. Fix problem with duplicated icons - If for some reasons you will get duplicated icons, this option can fix this
problem, but this action will disorganize all your icons on the homescreen !!! (thanks to Iktwo, guillermorojaz).
You can lock all this applications in one click or by choosing more of one application separated by one space and press
ENTER. (ex: 3 5... Enter).
PP. ONE click applications remover – This tweak can UNINSTALL from the system all of your apps that located in
specific folder (thanks to Craig_Mabbitt). You have option for 3 different locations:
1. /home/user/MyDocs/.downloads
2. /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
3. /home/user/MyDocs/Programs
QQ. Uninstall orig. apps (only PRO users) - This tweak ONLY for Pro/Advanced user !!! Please, use this tweak ONLY
if you know what you do! You need to choose which package you have mp-harmattan-001-pr or mp-harmattan-005-pr.
This tweak will UNLOCK system packages and will give you option to uninstall/install them back. You can see the list of
application that you can uninstall or restore them back (big thanks to CODeRUS). You have option for locking your system
packages back. When you will run this option, it will restore all your removed application and lock system packages.
BUT, be careful:
* Although you will see a message that system packages is locked, you STILL can remove system packages - DON'T
do it !!!, because this action can KILL your system !!! After locking, DON'T remove system apps !!!
* If you deleted some apps that NOT in the list of apps in this tweak, you need restore them before locking !
* This option also fixing a lags problem.
RR. Create/Restore backup of your tweaked phone – This tweak can create backup after tweaking
(/home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakedBackup). And this is a faster way to restore your tweaks and apps. This tweak will
NOT install packages, that you installed from tweak T !!! It will ONLY save/restore your tweaked system files and some
packages like "patch meerar extraplugins inception aegisctl python binutils lockscreen" if they was installed before.
NEW! The restore option not only transfer tweaked files back to your system, it also install all .deb files form:
/home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All
If you don’t want to install all this apps, just remove them from this folder. Or if you want to install apps from other folders,
just edit file: /home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakedBackup/appinstaller.sh
Instead line: dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All/* write path to your apps.
If when you created this backup, you don’t have Inception installed on your phone, DON’T run restore option until
installing/activating Inception ! Open mode users have separated option.
Differences from tweak X:
Tweak X - can create .deb files for USER, for SYSTEM app or for ALL apps. ALL apps wil be saved in /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All For install ALL apps from tweak X it use this directory with command: Code:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All/*
Tweak RR - is more complicated: 1. Backup option - It will create a small script with command for install ALL apps from: /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All
2. Now it will create backup of ALL tweaked files 3. It will create script with names of packages that installed from N9QT like inception, wget, python, unzip etc... 4. Restore option - here you need to choose what you had installed before Open mode or Inception, It also important ! 4. Restore start from installation of packages that located in: /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All via command: Code:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All/*
That mean, before you run restore option from tweak RR, I recomend to edit the first small script: /home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakedBackup/appinstaller.sh and Instead line: Code:
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All/*
Write path to your apps or if you prefer it will be installed from this location, I recommend do selection in this folder. Just go to: /home/user/MyDocs/BackDeb/All and remove all apps that you don't know what is this (dependencies etc..). Leave only apps that you installed. Also I recommend remove from this folder Inception package and all applets that you installed from tweak T. Inception included in second script and applets you can reapply from tweak T after restore RR. You DON'T need to run tweak X after restoring Tweak RR !!! Maybe this did sabothage to your phone.. Also, for example I don't use backup for apps from tweak X, I catched original app with "Catch apps" icon from tweak O. Now, all my apps located in different folders and for tweak RR I just edited the first script (/home/user/MyDocs/.N9QTweakedBackup/appinstaller.sh) and instead one command, I wrote a few command (dpkg -i) to the different folders, where is my apps located.. For dependencies Tweak RR run command: Code:
apt-get install -f -y
at the end of the process.. Also see my post how I used tweak RR to fully restore my phone after reflash.
K. Create Backup !!! – Creating Backup from your system files. This will create folder named “.N9QTweakBackup” in
your: /home/user/MyDocs.
Z. Full Restore – This will restore ALL your tweaks, can uninstall new IM’s and restart or refresh your phone. Uninstall

the restore process.
UU. N9QT updater ! – from this option you can update N9 Qtweak to new version. It will ask you to insert a version
number, just write a number, for example: 9.4 If this version here, it will be downloaded and installed automatically.
After installation, you will find downloaded version in: /home/user/MyDocs/Downloads
C. Changelog – you can see what new in current version.

Solution for reboot-loop (ONLY on Linux PC):
The source here: http://wiki.meego.com/N950/Fixing_MALF_state (also thanks to thedead1440)
1. Download N950 MeeGo kernel and N950 MeeGo rescue initrd
2. Download Flasher for Linux based on your linux architecture: i386 is for 32-bit systems and amd64 is for 64-bit systems
3. Go to the Downloads directory where your files have been downloaded and double click on the Flasher file to install it
(there will be no separate program for flasher it will be integrated into the system instead)
4. Unplug the usb cable from your phone
5. Turn your phone off
6. Load the N950 MeeGo kernel and N950 MeeGo rescue initrd using flasher:
Go to the Downloads directory again, right-click and select to open terminal here and write this command: sudo flasher --load -k vmlinuz-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-adaptation-n950-bootloader -
n initrd.img-rescue-2.6.32.20112201-11.2-n950 --boot
7. Insert the usb cable
8. Wait about minute until a new USB mass storage device appears on the host You should now have three partitions: /dev/sdX1 with is MyDocs, /dev/sdX2
which is MeeGo 1.2 Harmattan rootfs, and /dev/sdX3 which is the MeeGo 1.2
Harmattan home directory.
9. Find exact partition's names found on your Nokia N9/N950. Mine had /dev/sdb2 as N9's rootfs. fdisk -l
10. Mount rootfs somewhere: sudo mkdir /mnt/n9; sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /mnt/n9
11. We need to know which file (which tweak) caused the reboot-loop. For example we take that the tweak has modified
/usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/meegotouchhome/style/meegotouchhome.css. Open terminal and write:
