Nokia 808 Case Replacement (disassemble and reassemble)

In this tutorial, I will show you how to disassemble and reassemble your Nokia 808 PureView.
You can use this knowledge for repairs or to switch the housing to change the colour.

A long time ago, I wrote a similar Review/How To about disassembling the Nokia N8.
According to feedback back then, my tutorial was missing pictures and detailed descriptions... I hope this time I did a better job in documenting the process ;)

Nokia 808: remove tethering/JoikuSpot restrictions for USA

This is a short tutorial about how to enable JoikuSpot/Wi-Fi-tethering on the Nokia 808 PureView, in countries where it is usually blocked (e.g. USA).
I am getting asked about this modification a lot, which is why I decided to write a tutorial about it.

If you are running "The One Reloaded" custom firmware on your 808, you do not have to apply this, my Mod is already integrated in there!

This tutorial is for users of different custom firmwares or (hacked) original firmwares only.

Partition Manager: C Drive Extension Tutorial

Thanks to the latest version of the NokiaCooker by Marco Bellino aka Il.Socio, changing partition size of Symbian devices became very easy.

The new partition manager feature, will give you the possibility to assign unused space from Z:\ to your C:\ drive.
This can dramatically increase the free space on C:\!

I am going to show you how to do it in the following tutorial.

Make sure you read the whole post!
There are many important information's and should also know about the risks and limitation.

How to create your own "full translation"

Since freaxs_r_us is creating full translations for my most popular CFW's (Nokia N8 and Nokia 808), I can slim down the download section on my blog.

Instead of linking to all of his Daily Mobile Tutorials there, I collect all the links in this single post.

Here is everything you need to know about creating translations.

How to fix symbols for power menu button (after changing fonts)

My CFW has custom icons for power button menu included.
Not all fonts do support those icons and since the release of the official PixiEnablers (including Nokia Fonts), I get many requests about the "broken" icons.

In this tutorial I am going to show you different ways to fix them.

How to decrease volume for 3.5mm output

Some people like it, some don't...
As you may noticed while using my CFW, there is a mod by iExtraX7 to increase the volume output for the 3.5mm.

If you are one of the persons who do not like this mod, I am going to tell you here, how to remove it from my CFW. Of course I will also provide all the files you need to do this ;)

Review: Nokia N8 Case Replacement (disassemble and reassemble)

After one and a half year, my N8 got some scars and scratches. It definitely didn't look like a new phone anymore.

I didn't really care about a few scratches, but after the bottom clip (or battery cover, or however you want to call the lower plastic part) broke off I had to do something to fix it.

Custom Widget Skins (*.mif) without flashing

Yesterday evening "joshlog" from daily mobile forum released a mod to load *.mif files from E:\.

Since all Widgets I added to my CFW are on Z:\ you can only change their loooks before flashing, by replacing the mif files in rofs2.

The mod by joshlog allows you to change many mif files from E:\. So it is possible to change the widget skins, battery indicator and many more, without flashing.

How to flash (updated)

This is a tutorial to flash your phone via Phoenix, a full guide to install my CFW.

The following "how to" will explain the way to flash I recommend.
If you know what you are doing, you can use different settings and flash the way you prefer.

Text to Speech languages

You can download and install "Text to Speech" languages from Nokia:
http://europe.nokia.com/support/product-support/text-to-speech

E.g.: for german I downloaded and installed "TTS_German.sis" and "TTS_Nicole-German.sis"
I left the language in "settings -> phone -> speech" untouched (english), because its my main phone language.

The "Msg. Reader" detects the language for text messages automatically and reads my german sms with Nicole's voice.

How to flash

*** a new version of this "how to" for my latest cfw is available here ***

As a reaction of many requests and comments about the flashing process, I will try to explain what you need to do, to successfully flash your phone with my cfw...

I will explain the way to flash I recommend, there are other Settings you can use, if you know how it works!
You should already have phoenix installed (download is available in "Tools" section of my Blog).
