Setting up N900 after reset and Adding Repository in 2017

Few days ago I was playing with my N900 and was installing U-Boot to boot Kali Linux rolling edition in my N900. But unfortunately i messed up phone and had to reflash my phone. Reflashing phone was quite easy as i opted for flashing with Linux this time instead of flashing it in Windows which now a days (specially with Win 10) is pain.

After flashing i thought to write a tutorial about setting up N900 in 2017 as many things have changed since last time i flashed my phone (it was i guess 2014 when i flashed my phone). Lets start setting up our beloved N900.

[Maemo 5] EazyList

EasyList is a very simple task/shopping list app. You can enter plain text where every newline results in a new list item. The list item is a checkbox. The list is saved and also which items are checked.

• You can also clear all checked items from the list.
• You can uncheck all checked items easily.
• You can sort checked items to the bottom.
• You can sort checked items from A-Z.
• You can sort checked items from A-Z and have the checked items sorted to the bottom.
• Auto orientation is implemented.
• Orientation is automatically set to landscape when keyboard is slide open.
• Also support sync so you never lose your list.

Hiya everyone. Most of us here are almost daily users of N900 and being daily users we all know that Nokia repositories have been down since about 2012 when Nokia pulled the plug. Yep there are backups available of the data stored on Nokia repositories. 

Since 720p codecs were also on Nokia servers, the automatic installation files posted by freemangordon no longer works but there is another way to download and install them. But keep in mind that you will have to enable and install some softwares from CSSU-Devel repo. Apps in CSSU-Devel are not STABLE at all. If you still want to try then lets start.

[Maemo 5] CuteTube Video Playback Fix

Anyone using CuteTube to download and watch videos will know that CuteTube stopped playing YouTube videos but download worked fine. That was because of some change at YouTube's end.
Thanks to Maemo developer freemangordon, there is now a fix available but you must be using CSSU either Testing or Thumb as it needs some updated lib files which are only available with CSSU-Testing or Thumb.
To proceed you must know how to enable and disable repos as you need some libs from Extras-Devel repo too. If you dont know what Exras-Devel is, then read about it HERE.
Enough talking, lets get start with the procedure.
