Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810
 
Hi, first of all, I'm a newbie and I recently installed slide-rotate and 'm happy to do it successfully but them encounter problems coz I was using jalimo for executing applications created by myself and it was doing its job great but suddenly after this installation while executing the same command it gives me exception and I tried the swt example provided but it runs well. I'm using N810 with the lates software version. After the installation I flushed the kernel with the command $ /root/install-xrandr-kernel, can it be the cause or is there something else? And actually what happens by flushing the kernel? Also, if I want to get back the previous kernel what should I do? Thanks.

hi its all fine now. by the way if i uninstall sliderotate will it flash those kernel modules as well? if not, how can i flash the module. also does the cmd: /root/install-xrandr-kernel, takes up lot of space coz i found that only 20mb is left in my phone memory as it is supposed to be more isn't it coz i've not put much files in my phone's memory as i only use the internal and removable memory. thanks

./root/install-xrandr-kernel takes up no space, it's just a script that runs on your tablet. So to find out how much space a directory is taking up, run the command du -sh I bet your /home/user directory contains the files taking up all your storage space.

Hmm, can't install latest update it days missing xulrunner (installed for fennec), the bzip package and conflicts with becomeroot.

New version 0.0.24 has dependency for rootsh, which conflicts with becomeroot.
This dependency is for making installation easier for end-users,
Only the installation is affected, the program itself is unaltered.
Also 0.0.24 will remove the debs in /root after installing, minimizing disk usage after successful install.
I will look into the dependency problem later.

What's new or fixed in v 0.0.24?

Only the installation is affected, the program itself is unaltered.

Just to make the installation easier and self cleaning for those who seem to have trouble with root access and deleting 3 files manually.

Apparently it also screws the ones who already have another method of getting root shell (becomeroot). I will see what I can do about it.

Anybody having version 0.0.23 do not need to upgrade. No new functionality has been added.


See above post.

Thanks for the info. Can you confirm which 3 files can be deleted?

the debs in /root since they are already installed.
