Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

I managed to drag my taskbar off the bottom of the screen... any idea how to retrieve it? I tried clicking and holding at the bottom without any luck... is there a config file I can manually update?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

killall hildon-desktop.

It will disable all the applets but they will come back after reboot.

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

i have a minor issue , if you remember me asking about how to make the application menu optional since ive done that i noticed that when i tap and hold on an item the animated icon isnt circling or even appearing at all. also , in app manager when it is refreshing , the little icon in the banner isnt circling or even appearing either. any ideas on how i can fix this?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

I finally got everything installed, thanks! However pushing the power button on n800 does nothing. double click will bring up the menu. Also D pad doesn't seem to be correctly mapped when rotated.

Retried apt-get update and its failing some items

Thanks
Dylan

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

Ok, I've read this thread several times... N00B question:

How do I install this on an N800 booting from immc2?

This is one of the features I miss from my T3:o

Thanks

As long as you have booted from mmc when installing sliderotate.

Oh and fanoush, as you may have noted, I use your server to download the tools for flashing, I hope thats OK with you.

I can host the files myself too if needed.
Nice work on the flashing tools btw.

No problem. Actually I prefer direct link to latest version on my site. Hosting outdated local copies is not best idea.

I'm guessing that this is the reason its not working. any suggestions?

Re: Automatic screen rotate for N810

The install-xrandr-kernel is VERY crude and has no error checking.

Stop the application manager and rerun the script.

The errors mean that you can't user apt-get because Applicatin manager has locked /var/lib/dpkg/lock to prevent multiple instances of apt installing stuff.

I will create a better script when I have the time for it.
