Shortcutd
This application helps you to make a shortcut on Nokia N900. For the example, camera button may be set to run different actions. It may help you to increase and optimize your N900. You also may use the proximity sensor. But, this is not recommended.

Another application is ready to help you optimizes your N900. It is called with Tweakr. The most interesting feature of Tweakr is “snap icon grid” setting. This setting is helping you to arrange the icon’s position.
Tweakr allows you to change the function of Power key. Usually, hitting the Power key once brings up the phone menu, and holding it down turns the phone off.
