Stock N95 firmware is slow. Apply these tweaks via RomPatcher:

This is the ultimate flex for a modder: using PIPS (P.I.P.S. is POSIX on Symbian) and Open C, advanced users compiled a full Lighttpd (Lightweight web server) to run on the N95.

By installing a modded kernel that opened port 80, you could host an HTML website directly from your phone’s memory card while connected to Wi-Fi.

The Use Case: You would walk into a coffee shop, turn on your N95's server mod, and share files with friends via a local webpage. It was a peer-to-peer Dropbox before Dropbox existed. Typing http://192.168.1.105:8080 into a laptop and seeing your phone's file tree was a godlike feeling in 2008.


  • Tools: Nokia Cooker, NFE (Nokia Firmware Editor), JAF (box flashing), Phoenix Service Software.
  • The N95's sensor is average by modern standards, but software mods can extract every drop of quality.
