Pros: It works
Cons: You will NOT be able to uninstall the 5.2008.43-7 upgrade on the modified booting OS. I have no idea what does that mean to the tablet, now or future. I did mine on a MMC boot, and the internal flash 5.2008.43-7 upgrade is NOT affected,i.e., what you did to OS on MMC boot, in general does not translate to the OS in flash system. In general...

Prequalification:
- 5.2008.43-7 upgraded
- advanced-backlight installed

Enable Extras-devel
- AppManager>Menu>Tools>Application catalogue...
- New
- Cat name: maemo Extras-devel
- Web address: http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/
- Distribution:

- Disabled:
close AppManager.

My N810/N800 are both booting from /MMC1.

The 770 setup is MMC boot with 48 MHz clone, http://www.internettablettalk.com/fo...mmc+boot+speed.
The 770 does NOT work, it does flip, but it also messed up the touchscreen, the hardware button works though.....anyhow, I cannot make it work. It is still fun to see it flips.

Pics:

5) 770 home page

Enjoy,

Great job!

You beat me to it

I had the thought this past weekend that I should post a quick rotation guide... I'll have to give this a try when I get home...

Silly question: What does the "size" command do? I don't remember having to use it before....

Thanks
Snoshrk

The size is the output from the xterm when the commands are issued. It is for cross-checking to make sure things are going allright. I am pretty impress with the rotation, even video rotates!

Hey Bun...

Tried this last night.... can you edit cmd1 & cmd2 so that they do not have the "..." in them? A straight cut&paste on the tablet choked on the hidden bits.

I have an upgraded N800, and I remember that installing screen rotation took me only 1 click ....

I dont remember the exact thread, but I'm sure it's very easy

Code snippets from the wiki, might be a little easier to cut & paste on the tablet...

@Snoshrk: Thanks for pointing out the obvious, the original post has its URL html format shortened into "..." and causing the trouble as you have kindly pointed out in above post. It is now working, one can point, cut and paste. Thanks,

Yes somewhat, if running OS 30-2, 4.2008.36-5 feature upgrade is still showing as an available update in AppManager under Check for updates.

No. After one installed the rotation modification, 5.2008.43-7 feature upgrade under Show installed app, it now show an icon like a broken installed app, a red with 3 black squares. If click, it said "Unable to uninstall..." I guess its from using a hacked version ("unlocked"). Please some guru elaborate here... Thanks
