Tired of having your ringtones listed and played together with your music? Here’s how you can hide the tones from the Music Player.
To prevent a file or folder with ringtones from being listed in the MP3 player:
1. Get yourself a file manager that allows you to change file/folder attributes. Y-Browser will do the job – http://www.drjukka.com/YBrowser.html
2. Create a separate folder and place in it all the ringtones and melodies you want to hide from the player. I recommend using the memory card – this will help you repair the file system in case something goes wrong.
3. Open the file manager from Step 1 (not the build-in File Manager) and navigate to the folder from Step 2.
4. Change the attributes of the folder to ‘System’. For Y-Browser highlight the folder and choose Options -> Attributes then set ‘System’ to ‘Yes’ and press Save.
5. Exit the file manager and refresh the library of the Music Player. Now the folder/files are not shown in the Music Player/File Manager but are still listed on music file selection dialogs (like ‘Ringing tone’ option in Contacts).
You can also hide single files by setting their attributes to ‘System’. I do not recommend this, though.

Now before we start with the installation lets get some basics right…

The latest N-Gage 2.0 is not yet supported by N73 and hence we are installing an older version and patching it up so that the newer games doesn’t error out asking you to install a newer version on N-Gage.

In order to get the BiNPDA games to work the phone MUST be hacked.
Now don’t be alarmed as it is very easy, simple and safe.

Without this the full version of BiNPDA will not install and error out as corrupted file. The normal trial version games from N-Gage website will work fine though

You would also need PC suite installed in the PC, X-Plore or any other 3rd party file browser installed in the cell.

Make sure that you install all the files in the memory card, especially the N-Gage application

All the files needed to install N-Gage and hack the phone can be downloaded from the share folder along with the full version games.

Files to install the N-Gage App —> n-gages60v3 install

Files to hack the phone —> BiNPDA Hack tools

Lets do the installation in 2 stages…

1. We install the N-Gage application.
2. We hack the phone and install BiNPDA root certificate so that the games would install

Installing N-Gage Application

1. Install the file NGageInstaller.sisx – It would take a while to install and you can OK the error when it says “Symbian OS pips missing”.

2. Install pips_s60_1_2_SS.sis

3. Install ngage_autostart_204.sis

Note :
You will also have 2 text files 20001079.txt and copy.txt. We will get back to this after we have hacked the phone.

Now you have successfully installed the N-Gage application in your N73 !!!

Phone Hack and BiNPDA Root Certificate Installation

1. Install s60_3_0_app_trk_2_7.sisx

2. Connect the phone using the USB cable in PC Suite mode (This is for ppl who have been installing stuff over bluetooth or Mass storage mode so far).

3. After installing this go to your apps folder in the phone and run TRK

4. It will startup in bluetooth mode, cancel it and go to Options —> Settings —> Connection —> USB

5.Once you choose the USB connection you should see Status as “Connected” in TRK.

6.Now run SecMan.exe in your PC. Follow the steps shown in Information and you are all set to rock on…

7. For ppl who missed out the steps shown in Information, Click Next when you come to the “Select Metro TRK com port”. Keep “Find Metro TRK port automatically” checked.

8. Afert you click Next you should see some stuff getting installed. Give it some time as it might take a while to search for the port and install SecMan (Security Manager).

9. After the installation is done go to your phone apps folder, run SecMan, options —> Install root certificate

10. Now do you remember text files we saw a little while ago,

The file 20001079.txt has to be pasted in the location c:\private\10202be9\. The file copy.txt just has the instruction to where the 20001079.txt file is to be pasted, just in case if you missed out to see the location in here…

Since the file has to be pasted in a location in the phone memory C:, the phone has to be hacked first to have access to the private folder in C:. In SecMan select “Turn Plat. Security OFF”. Now use X-plore or any other 3rd party file browser to copy the file 20001079.txt to the specified location.

Turn ON the plat.Security once your are done copying the file. This is very important.Be careful with this, and make sure Platform Security is turned ON when playing N-Gage games.

If you are wondering how to install the games after all the above steps, just copy the .ngage file of any game and paste it in the N-Gage folder in the memory card. The next time when you run the N-Gage application the game will be installed automatically. Just make sure that you install the game in the memory card

After following this guide,you will be able to install ANY Application or Game on your N73(Normal as well as Music Edition)  Mobile Phone

Hutch to return in India.

Well if sources are to be believed Hutchison is looking to make a return in India after they sold their enterprise to Vodafone last year.

This time they are going to come as a full fledged 3G operator and to unveil their brand ’3′ in India.

As India is looking for 3G telephony now, it is believed that Hutchison is in talks with a leading buisness firm for a 3G license in the upcoming auctions.

Hutchison is known to be a pioneer in telecom industry and had given tough competition to companies like Airtel, Idea & Reliance.

It is not the 1st time that they are doing this.They use to own the Orange brand and operational in countries like UK, Ireland & Austrailia.When they sold that brand to France Telecom, they started with a new entity ’3′ in all of these places.

’3′ is known for their seamless wirefree braodbrand and super clarity voice telephony thorugh 3G mode.If they are successful in their plans, they can give sleepless nights to Indian Operators once again.Well for Vodafone it would be a dilemmatic situation because the network they are using is build up buy Hutchison itself and now they would see a improved replica as ’3′ who is a rival this time.

Let’s see what happens next.

Keep your finger crossed and Best of Luck for Hutchison and ’3′.

Cheers!!!!
