    AnonD-129768, 30 Nov 2013Thank you I am gonna try the camera app seems to be Interes... moreIt's 3rd now, but it was 1st until 3-4 months ago. :-)
    I too wish I had one more to try Delight. I have more than 160 apps in it (works as fast as ever), and a lot of settings and stuff, so it would be hard to re-install it all. But if I had another one I would do it slowly in my free time. Mine is scratched too, but that's because of the old owner. :-/
    Guess what, 40 percent daily interest now!!!

        What, 38% daily interest and no new comments? OK, I have some free time so I'm going to recommend some free apps. While we still have the Nokia Store.

        Quick Lock - lock your display by tapping an icon. This is the fastest lock app I found.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/105677

        Slide To Unlock - unlock the display by sliding or double tapping with two fingers. Sometimes unlocks the phone in your pocket, though.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/223607

        Tap2Screen - easiest screenshot app. Puts an icon hovering above everything so you just tap on it.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/208962

        Remind Me - plays a sound you choose every 3, 5 or 10 minutes if you have a missed call or SMS/MMS.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/36148

        Qcal Nitro - the fastest calculator.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/282317

        CalQTlator - the best calculator.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/254217

        NeoReader - free QR Code reader. Works great.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/35043

        App Stop - you can close some hidden apps you don't need, such as Weather or WRT widgets.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/92945

        QuickRotate - enable/disable auto screen rotation by tapping an icon.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/330302

        ClockSync - on demand it synchronizes the clock in your phone with an atomic clock from the internet.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/180821

        BubbleCompassFree - simple and fast compass.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/279019

        SCam Free - very cool camera app. You can take photos at 100% quality, motion activated photos, time lapse, exposure bracketing, slow shutter, text, sport. A bit slower interface but it's free. And it has the best zoom ever.
        http://store.ovi.com/content/249918

        Hope this helps someone.

                AnonD-172944, 25 Nov 2013i have been asking for step by step guide to upgrade from a... moreIs update to Belle Refresh available for your N8? I remember Carol wrote step-by-step instructions a few months ago, I found them on page 37 (I thought it was around page 40 so it didn't take too long to find) so I'll just copy-paste them, I hope this helps:

                Do a backup of important files and rename it with what ever name you want (don't let the default name) tell you later why.

                now factory reset the damn thing. dial *#7370# and follow the instructions (this will format your mass mem, so if it came with apps on it, they are gone). The format will take from 3 to 10 minutes depending on the memory. So let it do it's job until start's up and asks for PIN (if you have one, which i recommend deactivating during the update, just deactivate to spare some seconds and to much THINKING:)) continue with setting up your country and clock and so on. Set the time and date and go on with the start up (set the time and date good, don't pass them (not required, but for safety in case of a phantom or something:)). Now after starts and while loads the widgets. Let it do it's job, just let it 1 or 2 minutes to load all the crap it needs to load. Then open Nokia Suite then plug the phone in USB. Let Nokia suite install it's plugins. This will take something like 30 seconds. No big of a deal. Now (again just to avoid any possible problems, minding you are scared as hell) unplug your device and restart it, let it load to the full, just let it after restart to be secured has loaded everything. Meanwhile, restart your pc to and let that rig load it's system till goes crazy, by the way, you will need to remember what i've said cause we're not gonna open anything besides Nokia suite. After everything is loaded, finally open Nokia Suite and after is fully loaded, plug your n8 in USB and FINALY Hit software update. Follow the instructions, nokia will make an automatic backup of NOTHING, cause your phone is empty, so that is why your original backup has a name of your own so you won't get confused while manually restore. Let Nokia suite do it's job, your phone will go blank and windows will say several times that your device was plugged unplugged trying to install it. Ignore everything what windows says and just follow what Nokia Suite says. Don't touch your device during the update. Don't set anything until Nokia Suite says it has finished (only if you have set the PIN code i told you to deactivate), and installs additional and so on, when Nokia says you can use it. The you can unplug and you can use it. There you go, you are up and done Belle Refresh is in your device:). As addition, Don't install Microsoft office update, they will eat to much of your memory. Update i think are useless and never installed: Colorizeit, Microsoft Apps, New Social, Nokia Music, upload to skydrive. Stop your negative thinking and go ahead.:)

                            Yes, I know weber said support is until 2016 but... Ever heard of nokia store? *hint* *hint*

                                  No comments today? Okay, it's raining here and I was bored so I tried something and now I have a recommendation: I just installed a mod for improved kinetic scrolling. In other words, when you're in Gallery, contacts, messages, files etc, just swipe once and it will keep scrolling until you stop it. When it reaches the end it will bounce like it normally does. So, if you have a lot of contacts, photos, messages or videos and are tired of swiping and swiping to get somewhere, install this on C and reboot. It works on hacked N8 with Belle Refresh, last version.
