Top 25 Freeware for S60 5th Edition

1. Google Maps

The first really huge third party S60 application to get a full touch makeover, this works superbly on S60 5th Edition, on all phones, in both landscape and portrait modes, and with touch-panning of maps and of the StreetView displays (in countries where this is supported). Version 3.2.1 is the latest and has built-in Latitude (friend-finding), Traffic and Wikipedia (layers) support. It's also terrific as a general purpose location-centric search tool (e.g. find the nearest plumber or pizza or hairdresser).

2. YouTube

Yes, there's now a mobile version of the YouTube main web site, but exactly what it serves up is dependent on the device you use to browse it - and there are the delays caused by having to bring up different pages and by waiting for RealPlayer or Flash Lite to do its thing. Better is to use the dedicated YouTube client for S60 5th Edition. It's fast to search and browse from clip to clip, works over Wi-Fi or 3G and the only trick is in getting hold of it in the first place.
Picture quality is QVGA, scaled up, but it's quite good enough for casual viewing.

3. GMail

The third big Google application, GMail is Java-based, which means that you need to take a trip into Settings> App Mgr >Installed apps and turn off the S60-supplied navigation and function 'keys'. That done though, you've got a fully touch-enabled, full-screen view into your GMail, complete with all features, such as 'Stars', 'Drafts' and your full list of emailed contacts. Try it - it'll work better than you expect.

4. BBC iPlayer

For UK residents only, of course, and almost certainly only really practical while in Wi-Fi range, this presents the best of the BBC's TV output in very high quality, in streaming or DRM-protected download form. There are hundreds of programmes on offer, mostly from the last few weeks, plus a number of radio programmes as well, better for listening on the move since the bandwidth requirements are somewhat lower.
It's the download option, available for many programmes, which really impresses, since you can grab things for watching later while travelling, with no worries over needing expensive connectivity. The DRM isn't a problem as long as you watch your downloads fairly promptly (within a week, usually).

Updating your Nokia's firmware at home.

What is firmware and why should I update it?


Firmware is the software that controls and powers your phone. This includes all the standard applications, the telephony functions, the S60 interface and the underlying Symbian OS. In most firmware updates it is the upper level applications and hardware integration that is updated.
Firmware updates are primarily used in order to fix bugs in the software. This is the reason that you may want to update your firmware. If you find you are having a particular problem with your phone (e.g. getting out of memory error messages, or a function not working correctly) then a firmware update may fix the problem. Firmware updates may also, in some instances include new functionality (e.g. the latest N80 update added the ability to upgrade the firmware over the air).
Generally models purchased early in a device's life cycle have more bugs and problems and there can be considerable benefits from updating these devices. However if you have a device purchased later on in the life cycle (6 months after it becomes available) then you are less likely to need to update the firmware, although you may still wish to do so if you are having problems with the device.
You can find out what firmware version you have by entering *#0000# at the standby (idle) screen. This will show a dialog that lists your phone's firmware version, the date of the firmware and the model of the phone.

How can I update my phone's firmware?


1. Go to the Nokia website and download the Phone Software Update utility. You should also consider reading the FAQ which will help you if you run into problems.
2. Install the software.
3. Optionally, follow the phone backup procedure below.
4. Start the software. The initialisation can take a few moments. Once the software has been initialised you should see this screen:
5.Click Start. Plug in the USB cable to connect the phone to the PC (and choose 'PC Suite', if there's a choice of modes, as will be the case if you're using a S60 3rd Edition device). You should also plug in the power cable to the phone. Updating the firmware can use a lot of power and by plugging in the power cable you ensure that the power does not fail during the update process. If it does your phone may become unusable.

6.Click Next. The software will try and connect to your phone and identify it. Once it has done this it will search for updates through your PC's Internet connection.
7. If no updates are available then the program will inform you. If updates are available then you will see this screen. Tick the acknowledge box and then click Update to start the update process.
8. The software will then download the update from Nokia's servers, before writing the update to the phone. You will see this happen in two stages. The most important stage at which the update should not be interrupted is when writing the update to the phone.
9. Once this stage has been sucessfully completed you will be informed that you have sucessfully updated your phone.
10. Optionally, restore your backup as discussed in the Phone Backup Procedure below.

Notes:
* In some cases (including one of our trials) the software may report it has failed to update the software. If this occurs at the end of the process then this may not actually be the case. Reboot the phone (you may need to take the battery out) and check the firmware version. Hopefully all will be well.
* An Internet connection is required to download the firmware update. These firmware updates can be up to 40MB in size (but are usually around half this), which is why broadband is recommended.
* The Phone Software Update is still being tested. If it does not work first time - try again.
* If you receive messages about being unable to recognise the phone, being unable to connect the phone, or that the connection is already in use then you should restart your computer and your phone and try again.
Phone Backup Procedure

Updating the firmware will overwrite any information stored on the internal flash disk (C:). If you wish to preserve this information then you should back it up before updating the firmware. Information stored on the internal disk typically includes data files such as your Contact and Calendar databases, plus application configuration files (including registration codes).

You can use PC Suite to do a full backup or you can use the backup to memory card functionality included on the phone.

Using the phone:
1. Open the Memory application (usually found in the Tools folder).
2. Choose Backup phone memory. This will backup the contents of the internal memory to the memory card. This process can take several minutes.

To restore your backup:
1. Open the Memory application.
2. Choose Options -> Restore from card. Your backup will be restored. This process can take several minutes. At the end of the procedure the phone will restart.

Hack your Nokia: Change '0' shortcut to Bluetooth on/off on Nseries.

Bluetooth can be turned on/off by pressing the * key on some Eseries devices like the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71. This shortcut is not available on the Nseries phones. By hacking your Nseries S60 phone, there’s a patch that lets you change the ‘0′ shortcut that usually opens the web browser. By turning on bluetooth only when you need it, you can save battery life and prevent unwanted file transfers.
Prerequsites:
The first thing you need is a hacked Nokia S60 phone. You can find out how to do this by reading How To Hack your S60 Phone guide.


The instructions below include editing the original ChangeBrowserOnKey.rmp patch by FCA00000 and uploading it to your phone. The modified code is then shown afterwards for the bluetooth shortcut. If you don’t want to read about the modification, just scroll all the way down for the end result. Note: The code’s formatting might not appear properly on RSS readers.


All I did was change the code so that the bluetooth menu opens. You can change it to anything you want as long as you know the application’s UID code.


Original Code by FCA0000
Below is the original code from FCA00000. Unmodified, pressing 0 will open Opera Mini if you have that installed. Continue reading below to change it to bluetooth instead. Notice that lines starting with ‘;’ are comments


01.; *** ChangeBrowserOnKey0 1.0 ***
02.; *** Change Browser On Key '0' ***
03.; Author: fca00000 , fca00000-at-yahoo-dot-es
04.; Date: 2008.06.01
05.; Firmware: tested on N80 v 5.0719.02 . Might work on preFP1+FP1
06.;
07.; When phone is in the StandBy screen, pressing key '0' opens the default browser.
08.; With this patch, you can open any other application.
09.; You need to know its UID. Then, swap bytes to little-indian to get xxDIUxxx. In other words: 0x12345678 becomes 78563412
10.; For example:
11.; FExplorer UID = 0xE00012DF therefore xxDIUxxx=DF1200E0
12.; Calculator UID = 0x10005902 therefore xxDIUxxx=02590010
13.; OperaMini UID = 0x101D3166 therefore xxDIUxxx=66311D10 In this case, be aware that it takes some time (5 seconds) to open.
14.;
15.; then, the patch becomes:
16.; SnR:sys\bin\phone.exe:398D00100000000000000000:xxDIUxxx0000000000000000
17.; SnR:sys\bin\phone.exe:398D00100100000035000000:xxDIUxxx0100000035000000
18.; As far as I know, nothing is broken. But I decline all responsability, of course.
19.; Anyway, here it is. Enjoy
20.; end of ChangeBrowserOnKey0
21.SnR:sys\bin\phone.exe:398D00100000000000000000:66311D100000000000000000
22.SnR:sys\bin\phone.exe:398D00100100000035000000:66311D100100000035000000


Modified Code For Bluetooth:
Below is the code for bluetooth shortcut. Since the The UID for bluetooth menu is 10005951, convert it to little-endian which results in 51590010. See how the conversion is done? You convert ABCDEFGH to GHEFCDAB. The only modifications done are in the last two lines of the original code.




1.; *** Change Browser On Key '0' to Bluetooth ***
2.SnR:sys\bin\phone.exe:398D00100000000000000000:515900100000000000000000
3.SnR:sys\bin\phone.exe:398D00100100000035000000:515900100100000035000000

• Copy and paste this code to a new text file and make sure to save it with a .rmp extension.
• Transfer it over to the E:/patches folder. Create it if it is not already there.
• Enable it on ROMPatcher (see: How to Hack S60 phones) and set it to autorun so you won’t need to reactivate it after reboot.

Hack Nokia S60 Phones

Here i am posting the instructions to hacking your S60 Nokia phones. Hacking your S60 phone will let you install unsigned applications without a hassle and even apply some patches if you like. It’s much easier uing these steps...
Steps To Hack Nokia S60 Phone:

• Install freeware X-plore, a file manager from Lonely Cat Games. Run X-Plore, press 0 and check first 4 boxes. Don’t exit.
• Install and run HelloCarbide by FCA00000.
• Switch to X-plore and check if you can see the contents of C:/sys/. If you can, then you are halfway done. If not, try step 2 again.
• Download CapsOnOff.rar by FCA00000.
• Copy CProfDriver_SISX.ldd from RAR downloaded above into C:\sys\bin of your phone. You can do this with X-Plore.
• Install CapsOn.sisx and CapsOff.sisx. Run CapsOff application to turn on the hack.
• Download SIS installer mod for Symbian 9.2 and copy installserver.exe file to c:\sys\bin\ so you can install unsigned applications
• Install ROMPatcher by Zorn.
• Whenever you need to install an unsigned application or patch your phone, just run the CapsOff application first. CapsOn brings it back to normal state.

Now that you have a hacked Nokia S60 phone, try installing some unsigned applications! I recommend MagicKey for remapping buttons or the latest version of S60 Screenshot v3.03 to take screenshots from your phone.
This method is pretty much easy like Helloox hacking method..
