A New Hacking Method!
Nokia's S60 Platform Is Hacked Again!!!

In an attempt to prevent one of the most creative solution in the hacking/modding scene and to close the security hole on all S60 models to stop the hacking activities Nokia has introduced new firmware versions for most of their S60 powered phones and the only purpose of all these minor updates is implementing new anti-hacking measures?!?

Fortunately, Nokia’s second attempt to find a way to kick users of the full system access was unsuccessful once again and our Deltafox has managed to find a new weaknesses and S60 platform is hacked again :] Now it's possible to view all system folders and files on s60 v3 devices, where normally this was impossible due the antihacking measures.

With the risk of repeating myself I'll say that hacking is not necessarily a bad thing, for me hacking is just desire to fully understand something, and I truly want to learn as much as I can about my phone, learn how it works and how to get mo... .. .

How To Take Amazing Looking
Close-Up Videos With Your Mobile Phone

Technology progresses and ability to add high quality digital camera modules to mobile devices has opened up entirely new dimensions for the people by providing the liberty of capturing whenever they want and whatever they want!

Symbian S60 devices based on the great Texas’s OMAP chipset are capable to process video best video among the mobile phone. Phones like Nokia N95, Nokia N82, and Nokia N93 especially are capable of recording video in VGA (640x480) resolution at 30 fps which is pretty impressive but unfortunately all of them lack ability to use auto focus in video mode and none of these Nokia devices isn’t capable to capture video in macro mode!

Let the Music Play
How To Add Album Art To Songs

A very cool feature on most media players is the Album Art, ability to read and show the digital image of the actual cover shipped with the album from the mp3 file. The S60 Music Player (the latest one) supports this feature as well but most of the time we see the same boring 'disc' or 'wave world' icon, depending on your phone model and active them. So I thought, let's add something productive there!

Now logically, any music management software must have this capability to add album art.So my first option was PC Suite. Alas, the drag-n-drop box for album art doesn't work! How about giving a feature that actually works, Nokia? Anywa... .. .

Let the Music Play
Getting the Most Out of the Music Player

Getting my brand new, shiny Nokia N82, I was excited to finally be able to load all of my music onto my phone (with a relatively inexpensive 8GB microSDHC card). The only problem was that there was little to no documentation on the best way to do this and, unfortunately, I've faced endless amounts of googling and forum trawling before getting my phone set up just how I want for music, so I thought I'd write a guide.

This guide assumes that your phone is attached in "mass storage" mode throughout. It's possible to do this process connected as a media player and syncing it with a media player, but I prefer the flexibility offered by mass storage mode. It's a perso... .. .

Symbian Freaks Reveals Hidden Nokia Nseries
Screensavers From the Nokia N95!!

Thanks to the Kev and our forum section today I have realized that are few cool flash based hidden screen savers on the Nokia N95 and I have decide to make it available for wider auditorium by porting the guide to the front page.

Anyway, first of all, if you haven’t already got it you’ll need some 3 rd party file manager that has access to the ROM (Z:) drive.

There are numerous solutions out there but in my personal opinion y-browser and x-plore are the best solutions at the moment, actually to be honest x-plore is simply the best file browser for the S60 3rd edition, it is the fully functional sharewa... .. .

New Tweak from SF team
Hack the N95’s News reader template!

As you may have already know, Nokia N95 runs S60 platform 3rd edition, Feature Pack 1 and it means that it comes with new improved Safari browser and improved RSS reader. Feed reader now supports the Atom format (in addition to RSS) and the browser renders feeds in html format.

Previously, feeds could only be viewed as short text only summaries while the new version is capable to process and show, images, full text and links in html format which is incomparable better solution, but... .. .

Unfortunately, the main layout/template isn’t as good as it should be and therefore whole concept doesn’t looks very well and we getting lot of complains related to the news reader.

Text size is simply too large and it makes feed really hard to use and not eye friendly. Even worse, feed rea... . . . .

How to move and save your messages directly on your MMC
(N-Gage / SX1 / X700 / 6260 / 3230 / etc..)
(updated )

If you have a N-gage, Siemens SX1, Panasonic X700 or 6260 you might know that you can’t change your message storing memory, it’s a factory disabled function. I think it’s because of MMC swapping reasons.

This guide will teach you how to bypass that restriction and move/save your messages directly on MMC instead on your phone memory! This means any kind of messages, SMS, MMS, email, and Bluetooth too!

This gives you many benefits. For example, you will get more free space in your phone memory. But the most important benefit is that you can finally use direct BT sending for transferring of large files (music, movies, games, etc) from your PC or share that content between two phones without the necessity to set-up connection manger and the use of PC suite or other similar software like Desktop file manger.
