Its pretty hard for me to tell whats wrong, if you don't give me any error messages. What does it say when you try to load them? Does the lxp's load.sh script work for you?

It was requested and I think its useful too.

all i was saying if i turn on bleeding edge drivers then i want to use faircrack i just dont understand why it popped up asking me to select connection when at that point its not needed but if it was requested then cool ....


As for my issues they all seem to have gone an its working no idea whats changed but all seems well ...

I was planning on making a settings applet for configuring this behavior, but then my N900 got broken. Look couple pages back.

Its no major issue was just asking question , i did see you rpost about n900 thats a shame really is ....

that would be a great idea im sure it will be usefull many thanks for your work so far its a great applet an hopfully you can continue decelopment when/if you get your n900 back ...

I got a N950 from DDP and N8 from Nokia Care, so I'm putting this project on hold until nokia takes my precious N950 away. I'm more than happy to let someone else continue this project, if someone is interested.

That's definitely a bad info :( despite the fact that, of course, I'm happy You get N950. Pity, cause i thought this could become better replacement for Advanced Interface Switcher. Unfortunately, my skills are too low ATM to maintain updates...

Anyway, of course, it's Your decision. Happy coding on Harmattan!

Yeah.....I knew this would happen. All the good developers get a N950 and drop N900 like a hot potato. Now we mere users can live with dually orphaned N900 or buy crap N9.

Screw this. Fack Nokia. :(

edit:
@laasonen
Sorry this rant happened in your thread. It's not targeted at you but at Nokia.

Fortunately, we have more than 250 talented developers, and I can name right now few especially talented, that did NOT received N900, due Nokia decided to scratch their applications... ;)

BTW, sooner or later, Cordia stable will happen, and we'll all switch to OS real meego with Hildon UI. So two worlds will meet even closer, than they are now ;) If not, N9 won't live long (cause it sucks) and only 250 N950's can't really run "ecosystem", so neophytes won't have a choice but getting back to N900 0_o (or stop coding @ all and go to android ;) ). Seriously, i would prefer first option with Cordia.

---

Still, i understand and even agree with felling of being "betrayed" a little (I didn't wanted to write this, but if You already did...). We've put much effort in testing/debugging/feedbacking certain apps, and then, sudden of nothing, developers just tell us "goodbye, I got N950 and I'm going to have undefined intimate time with it". It's really pity that I don't have enough coding skill (even near) to continue this (at least, maybe we can make Advanced Interface Switcher less buggy by our feedback/debugging).

Still, of course everything done here is voluntary, in developers free time (... - cut some blabla here), so they Can do with their time whatever their wish, and we can't and *shouldn't* feel betrayed, cause it's unfair for developers. Still, I *do* feel a little like that ;)

Laasonen, I really didn't wanted to embarrass You with this post (if I did, it wasn't on purpose) - it was VERY nice to work with such a supportive and "listening" developer. So I hope not offense taken - what i posted here was rather "sociological" observation of feelings (including my own ones), than actual cussing or whatsnot.

The guy said he doesn't have an N900 (his old one broke and he was given an N8), therefore he cannot continue development..right?
