UPDATED january 27th

Thanks for the mod. I've been using the v3.0 for a couple of days now and definately seen and improvement. This mod definitely makes the N8 one of the best phones ever. This is what the stock n8 should of been.

I will leave some feedback on this new build in a couple of days.

you need to sign the app.

After using a couple of days here are my findings.

UI Improvement - Experiment Mod:
I did not notice any major differences in terms of performace. The menus maybe slightly loading faster the first time it is lauched but after that seems the same. Battery life does not seem to be affected either.

Fast Screen Rotation:
Definately rotating faster now but find at times the screen rotates when I do not want it to rotate. I compared with my wifes phone without the mods and with the mod seems to be about 1/2 faster at rotating.

MSG/LOGS/CONT/CLK/CAL Shutdown (RAM):
This mod seems to be still a little buggy. I found that when the device is restarted you can now see the items in the task manager (May be intended). But when all those apps were closed and launched again I find that I could create/send a new text message due to the contacts not running.

I did not try most of the experimental ones except UI improvement. I do recommend to try them all out except the Messaging (RAM) mod. Also I did get a freeze once while playing angry birds. I don't know if the Mods have caused this or my phone what just due to lock up. By the way this is my second lockup on this phone. The first lockup occured within two weeks of buying the phone (Maybe Nokia Battery App from ovi store) . Then almost two months for my second (Maybe Mod).

First off, great post!  Been looking for camera improvement mod and the way to turn off the sound.

Now the problem I am having is with step 2: "Sign the . sis with your own cert."

The guide I am following is here:  http://symbianv3.com/how-to-sign-sis-files-in-easy-3-steps/

I have made the account but the processes gets stuck once I upload the genialcert.csr file.  The status keeps saying "CAPTCHA inserted.. Please wait.."

Is there any other way to sign the sis file?

Thanks

I have installed the KS mod (did see a difference)
camera mute (worked)
dialer rotation (worked)
Auto focus in video recording (worked)

i did not try the rest as i heard from some forums that the compression and change in video mods would eat up a lot of RAM space and the storing space of photos will come down to 350 only....

So as said try at ur risk!!

Hi thank you for this but your links are not working anymore can you repost them please

Congratulations my friend for the very good mod .I hope to not create anything problems in my phone.Thanks again good job
