here we are guys, the time has come…so long has passed since I first announced I was working on n2o5 (November 2010 :O ) and now, it’s time to release it…it really hurts compressing all the work that I have done during these months in one post, but here’s what I’m going to do…please read it carefully, because I’d like to avoid listening to the same known problems 😉
You know I’m not the type of guy who talks a lot about donations, but what’s important, this time much more than the others, is please drop a donation using the button on the right if you think I have helped you get a better phone, a better experience, if I have let you spend a better time with your i8910 and I have made your life easier somehow 🙂 I have moved to a new house, got lots of expenses because of that and, being a student, I’m in troubles now re money 🙂 so, if you can help, even if only a little bit, please do it 😀 otherwise, no problem at all, I hope you’ll like my work and will find it useful 😉
now that the intro has been done, here’s the changelog, this one only contains the changes from n2o4!, and it should include all features of the old versions of this custom firmware, plus new ones: PLEASE READ IT CAREFULLY IN CASE YOU HAVE SOME PROBLEMS WITH YOUR PHONE BEFORE WRITING COMMENTS OR EMAILS 😉
VERY IMPORTANT, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, BECAUSE THEY’RE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT YOU’RE USED TO IN OTHER CUSTOM FIRMWARES!!!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR N2O5:
1) Make hardreset
2) Flash n2o5
3) Flash language pack, if you need any
4) INSTALL the sis package which is in Z:/n2o5_mustHave.sis, using FileBrowser, which you can find in Office submenu. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP BECAUSE IT WILL INSTALL INPUT KEYBOARD FILES, SYSTEM SOUNDS FILES, AND SOME OTHER THINGS. READ NOTE1
5) REBOOT i8910, you’ll hear no sounds and no vibration until you reboot 🙂
6) READ THE README PAGE, WHERE YOU’LL FIND THE ANSWER TO THE MOST ASKED QUESTIONS
6) Give a look at the must have software page and install what you like
NOTE1: IF YOU WANT TO USE SWYPE, DESELECT ALL THE 44 LANGUAGES AND SELECT A MAXIMUM OF 5 LANGUAGES DURING THE INSTALLATION OF n2o5_musthave.sis…IF YOU’LL INSTALL MORE LANGUAGES, SWYPE WON’T WORK. I know it’s boring to deselect all 44 languages, but unfortunately symbian gives no choice, you can’t have them all deselected by default 🙂
Now, the good part,
WHAT’S NEW IN N2O5?? MANY THINGS!! HERE THEY ARE…Entries marked with HOT are exclusives you’ll only find in N2O5!! 😉
- Fixed gallery: the image gallery scrolling should be better now, only thing here is the PRINT string is missing in the Options menu
- Theme: The theme has been modified by the author to fit to n2o5’s requirements…It is based on TouchMeHD by incredibleSheep. Black background and minimalist icons, clean layout, eveything to improve battery life. NOTE: what’s special is that the MUSICPLAYER AND VIDEOPLAYER ARE SKINNED TOO, so enjoy the new graphics!
- Kinetic scrolling values from n2o4, perfect scrolling!
- NEW OviSuite mod! HOW TO MAKE OviSuite work on n2o5? (ADD LINK HERE)
- Email Viewer AND Editor can be used in landscape
- NO DELAY IN OPENING APP FOLDER IN PORTRAIT MODE
- Swype compatible —-> Only restriction is to avoid installing more than 6-7 languages when installing Z:/n2o5_musthave.sis
- Keyboard files in C mod —-> You can change 3row or 4 rows keyboard changing the files in C:/resource/plugins.
- System sounds in C mod —> You can change system sounds easily by replacing the files in C:/System/sounds
- CERTIFICATES MOD!! —> details here: http://www.bernabei.me/2011/04/06/cracking-it-open-we-want-to-be-free-a-new-step-forward/ I have added Nokia certificates, SE, and Samsung certificates all in one to be able to install all official packages! (YOU HAVE TO ENABLE NOKIAMANUFACTURER patch in RomPatcher before installing too) In this way you’ll be able to install MOST (not all) packages directly from, say, the OviStore without any modding to the sis files needed! 😀
- I have added a 20caps certificate too (FreeSign) so that you can use to sign all applications you want with 20 caps!
- NEW PATCHES IN ROMPATCHER –> NokiaManufacturer (needed to install “nokia only” packages), FWVersionInC (needed for the FW version id change, which is needed for OviSuite compatibility)
- E2Z PATCH!! YOU HEARD IT! E2Z!!! IT IS THE SAME AS C2Z BUT WITH E DRIVE! YOU CAN PUT KASTORS AND ALL IN E NOW! REMEMBER THAT, LIKE C2Z, THIS WILL MAKE YOUR PHONE UNSTABLE!! USE ONLY IF YOU KNOW THE RISKS!
- WALLPAPER MOVED TO C:/wallpaper/wallpaper.jpg AND MADE INVISIBLE TO GALLERY
- PhotoLoading, VideoLoading, ZoomLoading animations changed (thx elalmadecuba)
- Splashscreen changed –> thx elalma
- Charging screen changed, try switching your phone off and plugging the charger in! 😉 AND YOU CAN CHANGE THIS TOO!! The files are in C:/Anim!
- Changed Photocontacts default background images
- Added NokiaManufacturer patch to startup, which allows to install Nokia-only packages!
- Added NoOpenApps patch to startup, which hides the Show Open Apps string in all “options” menus! –> NO WHITE SQUARE BUG!
- SysApCharging moved to C:/Anim/, and hidden from gallery
- StartBackup 1.02, new backup settings!
- Added PHONETORCH –> Yes, the author accepted to give the full version for free to n2o5 users 🙂
- Calendar fix for Spanish language by oisemen
- E:/Others/spbshell is auto created, to allow fast modding of SpbShell skins!
- App orientation fix by elalmadecuba
AND, FINALLY…..THE BIGGEST AND MOST IMPORTANT FEATURE,
NEW TWEAKING APP, i8910tuning!
i8910tuning is a system tweaking app, written completely by me in Qt/Qml , latest Qt technology 🙂 it took LOTS OF WEEKS to code it…
You’ll see how fast and smooth it is! 😉 You can find more info about the features in the Help section of the screens in i8910tuning.
FEATURES (shortly):
– IDChange screen —> Swipe up or down to change the FirmwareID and default browser’s UserAgent! 🙂 The firmwareID change to a Nokia fwid is needed to make OviSuite recognize your i8910! 🙂 and the UserAgent change is needed for some softwares like OviStore, which only works when you have a Nokia UserAgent set! 🙂
– Camera tweaking screen —> it contains many adjustable settings (photo focus mode, video focus mode, audio noise suppressor) + WDR ALWAYSON/ALWAYSOFF SWITCH GUYS!! I MANAGED TO DO IT!!! 😀
Furthermore, in the camera screen you’ll find a button, “Delete empty folders”, which will delete the empty folders created by the camera application! Are you sick and tired of deleting all empty folders when you backup your photos, i8910tuning offers an easy solution to that pain!
– KS Settings screen —> All adjustable settings which are related to kinetic scrolling in Symbian OS, with brief official descriptions
– CPUClock screen —> Overclock/Underclock the CPU of your i8910 now! Need more battery? Need more power? Adjust the settings to your likes and then apply the clock patch in RomPatcher! 🙂
– Microphone screen —> Are you going to record a video in a disco or during a concert? Lower microphone sensitivity using the microphone settings sliders! 🙂
– Utilities screen —> This screen contains some adjustable settings, Call Summary, to enable/disable call summary at the end of a voicecall, and DimLight to decrease screen light thus allowing your battery to last for longer!
Moreover, here you’ll also find the “Delete Gallery Cache” button, to delete the gallery cache! This is needed when you have some broken images in your gallery, which refers to images you have deleted from your phone/memory card 🙂
Here’s a short HOW-TO guide to i8910tuning app…
The UI is made of three block, the upper bar, the main screen, and the bottom bar…
THE UPPER BAR:
The upper bar is to access the HELP manual, and to exit i8910tuning. THE HELP PAGE IS DIFFERENT FOR EACH SCREEN, SO IF YOU’RE IN CODECS SCREEN YOU’LL GET CODECS HELP, IF YOU’RE IN CLOCK SCREEN, YOU’LL GET CLOCK HELP! 😉
MAIN SCROLLING SCREEN:
Here’s where everything is made, you have 6 screens full of adjustable settings ! You can scroll between them just by swiping with your finger, as easy as that! 🙂
Use the sliders, switches, and buttons to change the values of the settings! 😉 More info in the HELP section of each settings screen 🙂
BOTTOM MENU SCROLLING BAR:
This is a menu bar, you can use it to navigate through the settings screens, just swipe with your finger to scroll to the desired entry, and then click on it!
enjoy its smoothness! 😉

Fantastic. I can’t beleive. Thank you so much faenil. Greattttt Job 😉
i’m grateful to you for this work. during the week end i’ll install the firmware, i’m sure it’ll be veeery good.
your creation made me remove my i8910 form ebay yesterday 🙂 it is still alive.
After the installation i’ll make a little donation (i’m as a student as you and i’m not very rich 🙂 )
Sorry for the english,
Cheers from Italy.
non preoccuparti 😉 fai quello che puoi 🙂 ti capisco 😉 se non ce la fai non donare nulla, non è importante 😉
ei faenil scusa il disturbo ma io non capisco perche succede questo : installo le librerie qt 4.7.3 poi dopo mi fa tutte le procedure io riavvio il telefono poi installo le qt mobility ma mi dice impossibile installare ti prego rispondimi=)
è fatto male il pacchetto mobility 😉 quando ne avrò uno funzionante lo metterò 🙂
grazie faenil….come sempre!!!!! solo una cosa….in rompathcer…cè “nocamfolder”…..a cosa serve???
serve per fare in modo che tutte le foto fatte vengano messe in una cartella unica, senza sottocartelle.
Perfect !!! 🙂
non mi apre i8910tuning!!!!!! sò che devo installare le qt, ma dutante l’installazione mi fa error -33….e poi un unico tasto EXIT…..lo clicco e dopo alcuni sec, installazione completata……ho provato a riavviarlo…ma niente…uguale…..nessun i8910thuning
l’errore penso che lo da solo con le qt mobility, che non servono per i8910tuning.
Devi installare il pacchetto qt 4.7.3…non dovrebbe dare errori
Bro Please guide me 🙁 how do i enable 3D taskmanager 🙁 I need it desperately, I tried to install 3dtaskmanager.sis but it didn’t work 🙁 u should have updated this i8910tuning app 🙁 disappointed
what about reading the pages that I wrote for you users before telling me that I disappoint you? that makes me sad…
Read “readme for n2o5” page and you’ll find what you need.
READ, THEN ASK. That is the rule
Thank You Faenil…and for your efforts for this…ill find a way to submit a donation (^ ^
thank you 🙂 I hope you’ll fine one 🙂
hi faenil. thanks for your work. but why you don’t like lithuanians?
Russian English, Russian, Latvian, Estonian… where is Lithuanian?????)
I had to remove it because I had a max of system languages 🙁 Otherwise OviStore wouldn’t work 🙁
sorry…but you have Lithuanian keyboard anyway 😉
Test video please!
does this not work on windows 7
faenil bro please provide a guide about how to install ur new fw using windows vista ! tnx in advance 😛
there’s no way
Thanks for your effort faenil! just wanted to report that i am facing some trouble with flash HS even though i used the [quote=faenil]n2o5 with Gadget in E mod and KineticScrolling menu, this is for those who want to use custom flash homescreens[/quote]
also, when i change the font using fontrouter, i8910tuning app gets messed up! any fix for it?
overall the firmware is epic!
can’t help if you don’t tell me what problem you’re having 🙂
about fonts, that’s a known problem with Qt. If you want to use Qt softwares, you can’t use font changing softwares
Many thanks Faenil, really good and smooth FW. Btw, I could not manage to run swype (modded by u) despite I selected 2 languages (Eng & Tur) during the installation of n2o5_musthave.sis…Besides, I tired to install another version of swype that I previously used. But this time, the phone is frozen when starting up (so, needs to be reflashed). Anyway, thanks for your efforts, my second donation is on the way:)
thank you man 😉 Did you reboot after installing n2o5_musthave and after installing swype?
Send me an email to faenil@http://bernabei.me if you can’t solve this problem and I’ll try to help 🙂
Thanks faenil, it’s now OK :). Btw, I already donated 😉
thank you man 🙂 that’s much appreciated 😉
helllooo..am still stuck with this problem.. is it linked to the keyboard rows modd ?
Hello Faenil. Any way to make flashing on Linux possible?
Jonas

Very thanks. Good job Faenil.

Why MY E: Drive formatted . I lost many things.
Can I recover them ???? It lost All old Backup files in e:\Backup..
Please Faenil Stop E drive Formation Next times I try to reset.
“Much Required is No E Drive Format”
answered on the other post comment…
Gracias, al fin tendré un nuevo cel. eres genial Faenil
te deseo lo mejor, éxito en tus estudios, en horabuena.
gracias 🙂
in massaging , new message can’t work. it’s nothing.
did you read the instructions for n2o5? It seems like you did not install n2o5_musthave.sis
ciao Faenil,
installando le QT4.7.3 mi da error -5 e devo chiudere l’applicazione, con il risultato che le QT non si sono installate.
sai dirmi qualcosa?
grazie
the swype does not work…I first flashed the rom. then, installed n2o5_must_have.sis selecting only English, french, spanish and arabic…4 languages.
resarted the phone. I got the keyboard. then I installed SWYPE and again restarted. but then when I click on the space on new message, the keyboards doesn’t even come! not even the alphanumeric one!
is there something I did wrong?
please tell…
To enable Swype, set your phone’s writing language to English.
try if the keyboard works without swype and let me know 🙂
@Faenil
Hi brother, I downloaded and tested ur awesome firmware. Everything is fine. There is one suggestion though.Is there a way to install QT completely on mass memory. I installed it on mass memory, but it creeps into the phone memory and eats a considerable part of it. I m not much fond of QT, I just wanted it to use the i8910 Application. In the Hyper x Rom, we did not need to install Qt to use Hx-Patcher.
@All i8910 Users
Hi friends, I make skin packs for SPB Shell for Symbian OS 9.4. 4 Versions of my SPB Ultimate Edition have come out and have been widely appreciated by all Users. At a time when there are rumours about the dying Symbian OS, my themes are one reason to stay with this OS. My packs give u enjoy 14 beautiful homescreens at the same time, as well as the freedom to customize ur phone in a way u must have not experienced so far. I heartly invite you all to visit my new blog:
http://just-anything-raakaysh.blogspot.com/
Believe me, u will begin to love ur phone again.
I think the modded Qt package is the one with most files on E…
Qt is the future, if u’re not much fond of it, you’re stuck 😀
I couldn’t manage to login in your blog so I’m asking you a question here…hope faenil doesn’t mind…
your ultimate spb doesn’t work properly for me…when I install it the way u say and start spb shell…it says: “custom skins in old format is not supported” and clicking on most things in the home screen just gets me back to applications folder…
I’m now using spb shell 3.7
ciao , non riesco ad aprire il flash n2o5
Why QT mobility is not needed? Out of curiosity, cause some QT apps require QT mobility 1.0.2 or 1.0.3 (Decibel, etc)
Also, screenshot for i8910tuning app is not available on this page, fix?
😀
QtMobility is not needed for i8910tuning app 🙂
wow great work Faenil! you’re awesome!
Just want to say thank you for your intelligense, dedication, and efforts in producing one of the best firmwares ever made for this phone.
You are truly blessed 🙂
ps. i installed the ‘n2o5_KSMENU_NOGADG’ rom, and everything so far seems to be working great. Only problem I found, is that the i8910 Tuning app doesnt load. It tries to load, but then the screen blanks out for a second and then goes back to the main menu page. strange… i just wanted to change the option to nokia 5800 so i can access the ovi store 🙁
you should read this
Now works fine, I had to re-download Hung langpack (earlier it has amount 6MB now 9MB) and now everything is OK.
First of all, congratulations Faenil for this great firmware!!!
Folks, my PHONETORCH is not working as expected. When I turn the LED on I cannot turn it off anymore by pressing the ON/OFF key. It just turns off when I exit the app. Is this happening to everyone or is it just an isolated case?
Thank you,
Cadbusca
phonetorch’s bug 😉 read new post
Thanks Faenil
Raakaysh!! I couldn’t manage to login in your blog so I’m asking you a question here…hope faenil doesn’t mind…
your ultimate spb doesn’t work properly for me…when I install it the way u say and start spb shell…it says: “custom skins in old format is not supported” and clicking on most things in the home screen just gets me back to applications folder…
I’m now using spb shell 3.7
Thanks, great and big release Faenil,Work fine ovi store,ovi maps,Navigation,task3d,Swipe. I flesh my origin softver after 2 years and put n205. everyting is SUPER. Do we have video call on skype?

the swype does not work…I first flashed the rom. then, installed n2o5_must_have.sis selecting only English, danish, american …3 languages.
resarted the phone. I got the keyboard. then I installed SWYPE and again restarted. but then when I click on the space on new message, the keyboards doesn’t even come! not even the alphanumeric one!
When I Un Install Swype, The normal keyboard comes again.
I have tried Reflas And ReInstall of swype.
