Hack the N95’s News reader template!(IT HELPS ONLY IF YOU ARE A REGULAR FEEDS READER ON YOUR N95 WEB FEEDS)

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.

[ad#chi60]

Text size is simply too large and it makes feed really hard to use and not eye friendly. Even worse, feed reader isn’t affected by the font settings in the browser itself and there is no way to change the font size just like that.

You would need the following:
Ready made freaking RSS templates
yBrowser or any other 3rd party file manger like Fexplorer, Active file, X-plorer

1.)
Restart phone and run yBrowser(ANY FILE MANAGER)
2.)
Go to root of C:\ drive

3.)
Highlight
feeds_view_template.html
4.)
Delete it!
5.)
Now download the template given below and extract the content from the rar file somwhere on your PC.
6.)
Upload the feeds_view_template file to your phone, via the cable in mass storage mode or simply send it via BT.
7.)
Once uploaded run the yBrowser again, find the file and choose:
Options / Edit / Copy
8.)
Go to root of C:\ drive and choose:
Option/edit/paste

Note: But i won’t advice deleting the original file. just copy it to your pc and save a copy there or in the memory card in case you want the default one back…

That’s it, run Safari and enjoy in new eye friendly layout, hope you like it

I have seen a problem with “stuck” installer files in S60 3rd
Edition phones for a couple of times. The information from Application Manager shows that the applications are not installed. However, they cannot be deleted because there is no Delete menu (see screenshot below). They cannot be re-installed either because it always fails with “Unable to install” message. Those files are basically just stuck there.

From my opinion, it looks like a bug in S60 3rd Edition (not sure if this has been fixed in S60 3rd FP1). I don’t really know how to reproduce this problem, but it has happened to my phones several times. Once, I saw this problem after one application failed to install. In other occasions, I saw this problem after resetting my phone to the default factory settings.

What should we do if we have this kind of “stuck” installer files in S60 3rd Edition? One way is to delete the installer file manually via Windows Explorer. Unfortunately, we cannot use any file manager application because those files are located in a protected folder.

* Firstly, connect your phone to a PC via USB.
* Choose Data Transfer (a.k.a. Mass Storage). Do not select PC Suite because you won’t be able to browse protected folders in PC Suite mode.
* Open Windows Explorer on your PC.
* Go to \private\10202dce on the phone’s folder.
* There, you should be able to find the installer files (.sis). Just remove them using Windows Explorer.

You can also acess & even delete these file using phone just go to file manager

And use Search (find) the folder private
and in that go to the 10202DCE and delete the file which are not installing

It was November 2005 when I first held my brand new Nokia Ngage QD and my journey to the world of symbian began. Before I bought NgageQD I had Philips 350 and boy that was a really bad phone. Learning from that experience I searched the internet for best mobile phones that won’t cost me too much as I was only a student at that time.

During my search to find good mobile I got introduced to series 60 world and after knowing some more I became a fan of s60 devices.
NgageQD was the cheapest s60 device available here in India at that time but I didn’t had even that much amount to buy it. Just for my luck my brother bought that phone for me as a reward to my help in managing his marriage party and also for my dance i did in the reception. Here a short clip from that dance attached at the bottom of post.

After that time i was completely immersed in that phone and began to try and learn each and everything I do with that phone. I searched internet for hours to find new applications, trying them, getting bored up soon and searching again for more. It became my life and i was thinking 24×7 about the phone.

One thing to mention here that I had no computer at my home. I never had one and still don’t have any. I use Cyber cafes to do all the internet related stuff. Most of the cyber cafes have deep freeze installed in their computers that doesn’t allowed me to install PC suit or bluetooth drivers to install. I got another challenge and after doing some research I learned to crack deep freeze passwords. Then I was able to connect my phone to the computer.

After loading so many softwares to my phone ( most of them were cracked) I became fan of the (in)famous cracking group BiNPDA. Then I thought of cracking softwares myself and the searching began again to figure out “how to crack mobile softwares?”.

I found some tutorials ( written by 18+2) to read. I downloaded all the required softwares (IDA pro, winhex and others), learned the assembly language for ARM processor and reverse programming. But i never really cracked any software because I only wanted to learn and I couldn’t give so much time as I was a medical student and was in my M.B.B.S. final prof.

While searching for good apps I found two of the killer apps that changed my life. First one was not one app it was group of ebook readers like mobipocket reader, repligo reader, isilo reader etc and the second one was Opera mini. These two softwares let me get most out of my cellphone.

Having ebook reader 24 hours in my hand I got treasure of knowledge as I am a voracious reader. I used to find free and pirated ebooks load them to my phone and reading them from rising in the morning till dropping into sleep really late at nights. I read all types of ebooks like fiction ( Harry potter series. The Da Vinci code and all other books written by Dan Brown, my childhood favourite Robinsson crusso, lost world and others), self improvement books (Chicken soup series, The Alchemist, monk who sold his ferrari, etc.) many medical books and some programming books (HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, Python, ASP.NET) and many more. I learned a lot from those books ( except from programming books as I cant do the practical stuff as I dont have a PC).

Opera mini was the most important software I found. It gave me access to the internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. I learnt lot from internet using my phone. I even made my first blog using opera mini.

I have read a long back that ” knowledge in any field never gets wasted”. By seeing my this knowledge of mine about mobile phones and internet my good friend DEV, who is owner of a cyber cafe now lets me use internet for free in return of the knowledge i share with him which i have learned from my Ngage QD and now my nokia N72.

If someone can help me dig more into this really amazing world of symbian and other mobile, feel free to contact me.

And thats my symbian story…
