Apparently, I'm the only guy who can't get this to install.

I clicked on the One-Click Install and the process went awry...
App Installer prompted to: Install Sliderotate 0.0.16

It proceeded to install Sliderotate and crapped out at about 10% saying: Unable to install sliderotate

Any ideas?

I had the same problem, but couldnt fix it. My solution ended up being totally wiping the tablet, installing sliderotate before I did anything else, and then restoring my backup.

I only have a n800, so I didn't even looking into onslide... in fact, it took a few seconds to figure out what you meant :)

I can't test this, but it would seem that the same logic can be used on the function called slide():
Code:
def slide(id,obj):
        f = open(slidestatus,'r')
        status = f.read()
        f.close()
        if status == "closed\n":
                new_orientation = "closed"
                rotate(new_orientation)
        elif status == "open\n":
                new_orientation = "open"
                rotate(new_orientation)
If this snippet, change new_orientation to be normal in the case where you don't want rotation.

Hope this helps.

Geoff

Did a software update to try installing it from a fresh install and still no luck. All sorts of permissions errors. Formatted the internal memory card, did a Nokia update and all was fine. Actually, beyond fine.... I spent half the afternoon looking for iPhone formatted sites and for the first time, thoroughly enjoyed reading on the n810.

Don't think this has been mentioned or maybe I missed it. You can get the "right" rotation by replacing the four instances of "left" with "right" in the previously mentionned sliderotate.py file.

Code:
def rotate(new_orientation):
        orientation = client.get_string('/apps/rotate/orientation')
        if new_orientation == "power":
                if orientation == "right":
                        client.set_string('/apps/rotate/orientation',"normal")
                        rotate='DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xrandr -o normal'
                        xmodmap_conf='/usr/lib/sliderotate/normal.xmodmap'
                elif orientation == "normal":
                        client.set_string('/apps/rotate/orientation',"right")
                        rotate='DISPLAY=:0.0 /usr/bin/xrandr -o right'
                        xmodmap_conf='/usr/lib/sliderotate/right.xmodmap'

OK Houston, I have a problem.

When I use the install script, everything is ok, it ask me if I want to install xserver-xomap (it ask me each time I make /root/install.....) and seems to install it (unpacking, etc...) ans then download a lot of things, then, "Checking kerner image kerner-rx-34_2.6.21.0-osso71-randr2".So, it ask me if I want to flash. I say yes.
Here is what I have :
Are you ready to flash? (yes/no) yes
Erasing 128 Kibyte @ 120000 -- 50 % complete.
Skipping bad block at 0x00140000

Skipping bad block at 0x001e0000

Kernel flashed, reboot to make it active.
Cleaning up... done.

It could just be the operator.
I had the same result. Then when I reviewed the thread and found the command "xrandr -o left" it worked. Look back in this thread.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 
I tried a few hours ago and it said something like Xlib error randr does not exist for display 0 or something like that but it seems to work now :)

It's awsome (for internet ant canola), thank you :)

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 
after installing this on a freshly flashed n810 everything seems to run nicely for a bit, but at some point, while surfing the web or doing something non web-related, My n810 freezes and reboots.

The only other program I installed was becomeroot. the crashes happen regardless of weather i have even used the portrait view. I have tried a reflash and reinstall a few times with the same outcome.

I feel that this is a problem somehow involving the kernel because if I use the install but only allow for xomap (on a completely re-flashed device) and deny flashing* the kernel I don't experience the problem. (i do get some UI issues with home/power button obviously)

also My own reboot method after install is not the vi command but rather just turn on/off without being plugged in. any way this could cause the problem?

anyway I'm pretty new to all this and it is a learning process so any help would be appreciated.

I really love how it works in portrait mode, but this freeze/reboot has got to go.

Thanks

*i think i say flash to much
