SMS Spam is a glowing menace, but if you own a N900, you won’t have to live with it anymore. Giovanni Cognome‘s Auto Remove SMS written in Qt and C++ lets you delete text messages based on their text, sender or the received date. The application is a free download and even has  a background version that can be scheduled with the Alarmed app to auto remove SMS.

AutoRemoveSMS should be available in the extras-devel repository, if you don’t know what that is, read this. If you want to install it …

The MeeGo 1.1 images for the N900 have just been released into the wild and are now available for download. But before you get too excited, do keep in mind that MeeGo 1.1 not ready to be used as a primetime OS on the N900 and that the images have been released following a release cycle, rather than waiting for everything to mature first.

MeeGo 1.1 is a stepping stone to MeeGo 1.2 which will make the user experience to an acceptable level. There is active discussion happening about the present …

There is no easy to use noob guide to dual boot between Maemo and MeeGo on the N900 yet, but if you want a sneak peak at the signs of things to come, Carsten Munk (@stskeeps) has put together a brief demo showing the N900 booting between Maemo and MeeGo pretty seamlessly.

Carsten is the official maintainer of the MeeGo Nokia N900 hardware adaptation and goes on to say:
MeeGo 1.1 isn’t out yet, give us a little bit of time. What will happen if things go right:

The Nokia N900 was one of the first devices on while Flash 10.1 was demoed and this got a lot of people very excited. However a few months down the road its already available for a bunch of other devices, but the N900 has been out cold. However, there may be a silver lining after all.

A very interesting page appeared on the Texas Instruments website (the company behind the N900′s Cortex A8 processor) titled ‘Adobe Flash Plug-In – Evaluation and Demo for TI ARM CortexA8 Devices’. That was picked up …

Twitter on the Nokia N900 has always been a mixed bag. There are a lot of options, the web app Dabr, Witter, TweeGo and so on, but there was always a compromise here and there. The best way to tweet and consume tweets from the N900 in my book has been the web app TweetGo.net.
Enter an all new Qt Web Runtime based Twitter client for the N900 in the form of TwimGo by Tommi Laukkanen. It is adept at all the basic Twitter functionality such as auto-refresh, replies, retweets, favourites, …

Post the PR 1.2 firmware for the Nokia N900, the kinetic scrolling inside the menu became painfully slow and coupled with the fact all apps are now displayed on one page, scrolling to the bottom has started taking multiple swipes. If you have a lot of apps installed, then situation is even worse.
But fortunately, as is with most N900 problems, the community in the form of MohammadAG has found a fix and if you are keen on getting the speed back, follow the instructions below.

Install ‘wget’ and ‘rootsh’ via the …

The FM transmitter on the Nokia N900 is one of my favourite features. The N900 was not the first Nokia to have it but the first to actually have a usable one. This was because you could boost the FM transmitter output and thus get clear sound even in slightly congested airwaves.

But in a city like Dubai or LA, its virtually impossible to get a station where there is no interference from other air waves and this makes the FM transmitter much less useful. But as with most of the …

The the MeeGo preview for the N900 first came out, in order to install it you need to make your own image and then flash it onto the N900. Things have moved along since then and a ready to flash MeeGo image is now available from Nokia’s own servers. So if you have been wanting to install MeeGo on the N900 but have been waiting for it to become just a little easier, the necessary guides are here.

But before you embark on the MeeGo journey with your N900, please keep …

As you may be aware, we have been holding the ‘Maemo Master’s Invitational’ here on The MeeGo Blog for the past four weeks, and its time to move into the final week of the contest.

So basically, you pay the same price that you normally would have, but …

Marco Barisione’s just released an app called ‘Ringtoned’ for the N900 that brings the ability to set custom ringtones for each contact in the N900′s phonebook. The best part about this app is that it integrates well with the N900 as there’s no standalone setup, you can asign a default ringtone from the Profiles menu as usual and for custom ringtones, just go to the Contacts application, select the contact and press the new ‘Set custom ringtone’ button in the menu.

Search for ‘custom ringtones’ in the application manager after …
