Nokia N800
NOTE: I made a package for the N800 which will give you root access from a shell. This is based on the original becomeroot package. You can get it here: godmode.deb

ABSTRACT:
A while ago I was asked if it would be possible to “brand” and completely configure the Nokia 770 for a specific company with a specific set of applications. It took a while but I got it done. Then I was asked to do the same for the N800 (the successor of the Nokia 770). After I was done I thought I ‘d put my steps down, so that other people can do the same. This is the complete guide to making a custom package that will install on the N800 (the instructions for the 770 are in ITALIC), and reconfigure the device to match your company’s image. This is a particular good idea if a lot of people in your management wants to use the devices to connect to check their email for example. The devices seem to be pretty popular with management nowadays.
NOTICE: I did not make this tutorial 8 pages long for the fun of it. Some pages are smaller and shorter the others. Each page is one step. This is to make it easier to read. You can always download the pdf instead. The index will also be on each page so you can jump wherever you want :)

REQUIREMENTS:
To make a custom package, you do not have to be a developer (contrary to popular belief). You just need the following things and a bit of patience or good planning:

  • You need a Linux PC with the dpkg utility since the Maemo platform is a Debian derived Linux distribution. I would use a Debian based setup as this contains the utility already.
  • You need the source user environments for the device that you have or want to roll out. You can download them from here:
  • The user environment and the gconf dump of the vanilla N800 with nothing changed. However you can remove the userguides if you want to (recommended).
  • The user environment and the gconf dump of the vanilla Nokia 770 with nothing changed

    • The build versions of the 2 are 2.2006.51-7 for the N800 and 2.2006.49-2 for the Nokia 770.

  • You need a newly flashed device to work with, like the 770 or N800
  • You need an understanding on how write a small shell script
  • You might need SOME understanding of the Linux boot process however this is not a requirement

Once you have all of this, you need to create a working directory on your Linux machine . Working directory means create the directory and all subdirectories that need to be in the package. If you have downloaded the user.tar.gz from here you can just do the following command on your linux machine:
mkdir MyPackage; cd MyPackage; mkdir etc DEBIAN ; mkdir etc/init.d ; tar -zxf /PATH_TO_USER_FILE/user.tar.gz -C .
Do not forget the “.” at the end of the line and hit enter. This will create the necessary directories and extract the files where they should go from the user environment for your device.
After this is done, you are ready to go and start making your own.
