Heretofore these hadn't been available at all on the older S60 5th Edition phones, so having live information and so much in the way of shortcuts is a major, major boon.Īs it sounds, despite the presence of a widgetised homescreen, an extra few Megabytes of RAM have been made available, with roughly 54MB of free RAM after booting.

Here are the main things that CFW Symbian Anna 7.9 (a Spanish web page, so make sure you browse to it in Chrome, so that you get a translation provided!) brings to the Nokia 5530, 5230, 5800 and X6 (see the link for the full list): A proper widgetised homescreenĪs featured on the N97 and N97 mini, the debut of a homescreen with six customisable widget slots.

I've also done a full 20 step walk through of the steps needed to accoomplish all this, in case you're feeling brave! What we have here are a few of the benefits of the latter version of the OS, added in to the best bits of S60 5th Edition official firmwares.

Despite the name, this firmware doesn't actually take these old devices to Symbian 'Anna' - the hardware couldn't take it.

Do any backups needed before you start and don't come crying to us if you lose something important. It will obviously help that this old S60 5th Edition phone probably isn't your main smartphone anymore. Although the flashing process doesn't actually touch the system disk or mass memory, the phone just won't work right until you've hard reset the phone.

You'll lose everything on your phone, of course.

Custom firmware remain a geek adventure, only set out on one if you're willing to suffer things going horribly wrong. If any of this paragraph makes you uneasy then forget the whole idea.

Oh yes, and I had to run with anti-virus turned off on my Windows PC for an hour while the flashing tool did its job. It took all my geek knowledge, a few pointers from friends, a couple of hours of time and a willingness to experiment and to possibly end up with a bricked device, but I got there in the end.

Using the necessary tools (in this case 'JAF Emulator') and reflashing a firmware from complete ground zero isn't trivial.

the version being reviewed here has large chunks lifted from the Nokia N97 mini firmware) the chance of more bugs and generally unwanted interactions rises dramatically. It's no wonder that bugs are common and when you start switching and swapping files between firmwares (e.g.

The firmware for a smartphone is very complex, many thousands of OS files and modules, all working in harmony.

Now, before I go any further, there are some things you should know: So why not give these devices a massive shot in the arm with some new software?

The Nokia 5530, 5230, 5800 and X6 are now looking very dated, with their small screens, small RAM quotients, slow processors and the legendarily clunky S60 5th Edition interface, adapted directly from the non-touch S60 3rd Edition version without a lot of touch optimisation. But complete firmwares that aim to add in features and tweaks that aren't present in the Nokia-supplied versions are right up my street and interesting to all.

I'm still not going to write about 'hacking', as in trying to find ways to install 'cracked' commercial Symbian applications because that's plainly unethical and damaging to the app ecosystem. We've now got to the point in Symbian's lifecycle that the older variants, in this case S60 5th Edition, are so far from Symbian's cutting edge (and especially so in the light of recent cutbacks) are fair game for us to talk about modifications to the manufacturer-supplied firmwares. here) on the HX custom firmwares, getting far more from the device than Samsung ever did.

I famously did a series of features (e.g. After Samsung stopped updating its i8910 HD. Our philosophy has always been that we won't touch custom firmware (and the huge geek knowledge and use of unlicensed tools that generally goes with it) while the manufacturer is still providing updates for a phone.

"But All About Symbian doesn't talk about Nokia or Symbian hacking!" I hear you say. My old Nokia X6 boots to CFW firmware - this is part of the new intro animation.(!)
