Informatio: , , ,

Sunburned, parched, and otherwise completey spent, but I have finally emerged triumphant...

This occurred over the weekend. Actually, it wasn’t so bad… I’ve reflashed my so many times at this point, that the process has become fairly efficient.

A few hours after beginning the journey I had already installed most of the apps that I consider “important” (i.e., those apps that I use on a daily basis: , , , , , , , etc.). And, thankfully, through the process of having a clean N800, I was also able to get to install again (I wasn’t able to last time I tried).

By the end of the weekend, I had all of the other apps that I use installed (things like games, alternative text editors, various utilities, additional media support, etc.).

So, all in all, I might have spent five or six hours getting everything back to the way it was before I bricked.

I am having a pretty concerning issue, though… When I reflashed my N800, it had the Opera browser installed (which is the standard). If Internet Tablet users want , the new(ish) Mozilla-based browser for , we must install it manually.

When I tried to install MicroB from the application repository, it wouldn’t work — I was told that I didn’t have the proper operating system. So, I went about it another way by attempting to install it from .

That did work!

But, now, MicroB is my only browser… I don’t have the option of switching back to Opera like I’m supposed to. (This did work before I reflashed, by the way.)

Does anyone know if maemo has decided to replace the Opera browser entirely at this point? If so, I guess I’d be fine with that. But, if not, I need to find out what went wrong with my MicroB installation.

So, maybe the journey isn’t completely over like I thought it was… But, is it ever?

Thanks for the information on how to install mozilla after flashing the new firmware. I am able to choose between Mozilla and Opera by opening the web browser and selecting from the tool bar “set engine” (wish I could go hybrid-electric-diesel, but the choices are Opera and Mozilla).

Hope this helps!
