All in One Converter Utility from Offscrn!

This is by far the most complete, awesome converter utility there is for the s60v5 phones.

So far, Offscrn has come up with many visually appealing apps and games, However this app is the best combination of usability, functionality and visualization.

Have a look at the very short video showing the multitude of conversion abilities of the app.

Midomi, another music search tool.

I had reviewed/posted Shazam earlier which is by far the most popular music identifying tool out there for pretty much all platforms.
However, here is another app that does the same: Midomi.

The app installs as a trial version however none of the features were restricted and I couldn't find a time limit on its use. So as far as I can tell its free for use so give it a try!

How to sign unsigned apps for Nokia s60v5 phones.

Here's sort of a walk-through to get you all setup to sign unsigned apps and then be able to install them on your phone.

Now there are many websites that let you sign up to get cert & key, However I've had the best return time with this site: http://cer.s603rd.cn/
Click on the thumbnail for a larger view.


For people who don't mind waiting and don't want to deal with the Chinese site mentioned above, there's this website: http://www.s60certkey.com/ that lets you do the same. However, since this site piggyback's on another service it'll take awhile before you get your cert & key.

Once you have your cert & key, transfer them to a folder on your phone (I keep mine on the memory card, but it honestly does not matter).

Download Free Signer here. And install to your phone.
Run the app and go to 'Settings', Where it says 'Sign Cert' and 'Sign Key' browse and find the cert & key respectively.

Now you are ready to sign apps, Simply 'Add Task' and navigate to the unsigned app. Make sure that when you 'Add' the app you select Sign sis and Self Sign sis. Then click Go and you will have your signed app.

I believe this should be it. If you need any more clarifications Please let me know.
Hope this helps!

TouchoFarto v1.0, farting noice maker on Nokia 5800 & Nokia N97.

Yes, this isn't an app most people are looking for neither is it useful for anything.

But nobody can deny the fact that they'll most likely install it and test it out just for the fun of it.

Note: This is an unsigned app, so you'll have to sign it before installing it.
If you'd like me to post a step by step guide to getting your key&cert, signing apps and installing them, please leave a quick comment on the post below.

Light Sabre for Nokia 5800 & Nokia N97!

Here's the famous Light Sabre application for s60v5 phones. I believe this is a must have app for all Star Wars fans out there...

For those who don't know what this application is, you definitely have to give it a try. It uses the phone's accelerometer to gauge movements and makes swinging noises like the Light Sabres from the Star Wars movies. Additional, options like 'powering up/down' the sabre, different colors etc make the application fun to use.

Google Translate Widget

I found this Google Translate widget at one of the forums for s60v5 phones and I've got to admit, it's a pretty neat app to have on your phone.

Transport Tycoon for Nokia 5800 & Nokia N97!!

For those who haven't played this game, this was by far one of the most challenging and amazing games created back in the 90's. I believe it was originally created to run on DOS (which was what I played it on) then was ported to Windows.

Eventually, came out Open TTD an open source free version of the game which improved upon the game graphics and AI. And now it's finally here to be run on the Symbian OS.

Follow these steps to get the game up & running on your phone:

1. Download and unzip the file to your desktop (Kind off obvious, I know)
2. Copy all the .sis and .sisx to your phone and start installing them, the order doesn't matter.
3. Finally copy data.rar to your phone and place it in E:\openttd\data\ directory.
4. Run the game and go to Advanced Setting>Interface>Interaction>Left-click scrolling and make it to green /on.
5. Enjoy!!
