I think this last release has more problems than the previous version. I upgraded and now soft poweroff doesn't work and when I lock the screen & keys, the command to get them unlocked is missing characters...

the text of said message seems like its trying to replicate the default message on a n810. notice the use of slide rather then press.
for me powerlaunch is something i install, use for a bit and then uninstall as there is something that irks me. like how it messes with the charge screen when charging while the device is "off". or how it seems to not properly lock the screen.

Regarding softpoweroff, it works fine for me. If you have more details, that'd be great. Also, tso, details about why you think it's not properly locking the screen would be useful.
With respect to "messing with the charge screen", there's not much choice with messing with that screen as it is normally handled by systemui which is no longer running. If you want to help make powerlaunch look more like systemui or perhaps how you would like it to, I'd be happy to assist. But as I never turn my device off, that's one screen I never really see.

Ever since I tried installing Powerlaunch 0.7 on my N800 running OS 2008 (latest release) it has been broken and doesn't work.
I've been unable to uninstall it or upgrade it to 0.8. I've tried the Application Manager in Red Pill mode and apt-get & dpkg force remove\install\upgrade while root.
Now it's preventing me from installing the latest Evince (which I manged to install via apt-get while root but the Application Manager says is broken). No other packages are broken.
I'm not showing that any other package depends on Powerlaunch, but when I try installing some apps the Application Manager lists PowerLaunch 0.8 as being a package required to install the unrelated app.
Does anyone know the proper way of force removing Powerlaunch. Should I post the output of some X-terminal command for more info?
Thank you very much for any assistance.

If there's another problem of uninstalling when neither mce/systemui is running, that'd be good to know.

On the screen lock thing i cant really pinpoint anything except that i believe i have found my n800 with the screen on but buttons locked. A combo that should not be possible Iirc as the screen turns of when the lock is turned off.
On the charge while of part its mostly that one can open the power menu while the device is charging, with on way of getting it to go away again Iirc. And i think the animation do not animate properly.

"/etc/rc2.d/S**powerd exists"
install failed
mv /etc/rc2.d/S**powerd /etc/rc2.d/S**powerd1
installing again
"/etc/rc2.d/S**powerlaunch exists"
mv /etc/rc2.d/S**powerlaunch /etc/rc2.d/S**powerlaunch1
(yes, sorry for the above but it's kinda what happens)
Now, if I move back the files, it still messes up so I symlink manually from /etc/init.d to the S**... etc files and it works.
Somehow, I've always noticed this problem when all the files in the rc2 folder are not symlinked back to the init.d folders - the files in rc2 are the files from init.d not symlinked and with the S** in front.

hmm, one more interesting thing. when i look at the menu now, it says "normal mode" as one of the options. funny thing is that im not in offline mode. sure, the wifi isnt connected to any AP, but nor is it fully turned of, and i have bluetooth turned on but not connected to anything either.
should it not read "offline mode"?
ah, never mind. its fixed in the latest update
