OVI MAPS FREE FORVER!!!!!

hey guys....

Thats true.... routing is free and forever on new ovi maps 3.03....

but the issues are :

  • you will need latest firmware on your nokia 5800 XM that is v40
  • you have to remove previously installed versions of nokia maps and ovi maps...
somehow nokia maps updater and the direct download from site didnt worked for me and always failed to install the v3.03 of ovi maps....

But thank god that my v40 is still hacked and I managed to find a version of ovi maps 3.03 from some site.... and after applying rom patches....

I tried installing the ovi maps.... and voila!!!!! it installed perfectly.....

Now its working too good..... i tried it... and believe me.... it works as charm....

so guys try out it.... you will never regret....

There is no track me option in my version of ovi maps.... :(

Its good if i can have that....!!!

PS : If you are not able to find the working copy of the ovi maps 3.03
write your mail id in the comment.... I will mail you the link!!!!
enjoy!!!!

5800 v40 firmware pros and cons

Hi guys,

Yeah... the v40 firmware version is available through PC only and it just rocks...!!!

Here are the new significant features :

Pros :

  • the first and foremost is Kinetic scrolling. (not in the application menu.. :(... )
  • new home screen themes
  • Updated real player (you can change aspect ratio of the video!!! )
  • new software update application , embedded ovi contacts and some new options in setting
Cons :

  • My phone restarted it self for about 10 - 15 time in 2 days...
  • New music player on the home screen theme is only available in contact theme... :(
  • real player is still not supporting the play back of flv files... (at least in India...)
  • MAP navigation is not free in my phone.... and asking for the license purchase ...... why nokia is making fool people???!!!
Kinetic scrolling is working great on my phone....

As far as the hacking is concerned....
you can hack V31 first and then upgrade to v40....
as long as you are not doing the hard reset.... your v40 is still hacked...!!!!

So guys dont afraid.... go ahead , update to v40... and enjoy kinetic scrolling...!!!

keep visiting fot the other updates on firmware and hack...!!!

SMS Timer came with Timer!!!

I figured out that SMS Timer was not working with other guys as well...

I guess the free application was having kind of timer which made it disable after some time....

But after installing latest version... Its working quite fine....

The latest version is not free anymore....


But there are few crack version available for hacked phones.... google them and enjoy!!!

SMS TIMER STOPPED!!!!

SMS Timer is onr of the most useful application of 5800 i came across...

But as I am installing around 10 to 15 application a week..... few days before SMS timer stopped working on my phone....

I dont know the reason ... but the most annoying thing is that any such application is not working on my phone now...

Can anybody having such problem with the phone?

5800 font changing techniques....

there are two ways to do it.....

Method 1:

Create a folder on your Memorycard drive (e drive) with name resources/Fonts.

Its case sensitive.

then pick the font you wish to have on your phone.
Make 3 copies of the fonts with names as below:
S60SC_C.ttf
S60TCHK_C.ttf
S60ZDIGI.ttf

Restart your phone and you are done!!!
To switch back to the original fonts, remove the fonts folder and restart the phone...!!

Method 2:

Google the Fontrouter application and navigate it to the font you want to set.
No need to rename the font files...

You can also set the size of fonts and other things.
Software can be enabled or disabled.

In some version it requires to restart phone to apply changes and in others its not required to restart the phone...

So go ahead guys.... have personalized fonts on your phone and show off!!!!
