Heard something about red pill mode? I just want to install the file so any help would be greatly appreciated.

red pill mode went with the first major update after release. How did you download the fmms file? Mine was in the maemo repository and just downloaded then installed by itself. Have you added any extra catalouges yet?

maemo extras cataloge ftw! You also need to download fAPN to allow you to set up the mms connection with your service provider. Here is a usefull link to get you going. If your on a different network just search in google for you providers details

you have to open the camera slider, wait for it to load, then push the x in the corner. Once back on the desktop if you click on the battery to bring up the little menu, you will see the option there There is also a couple more maemo catalouges but they are development apps which arent 100% finished yet. Another app must is Qtirreco! Im yet to find any tv/dvd player/sky box/anything it wont control
