I like this location better, I've edited this one into my start.sh.

Changes to /home/root/start.sh

# start toolbar and wait till it runs
#/usr/bin/matchbox-panel --size 39 --no-menu --bgcolor White --no-session --default-apps mb-applet-icon-container &
/usr/bin/matchbox-panel --size 39 --bgcolor White --no-session --default-apps mb-applet-clock,mb-applet-icon-container &
app=mb-applet-icon-container

Lines that begin with # are comments and are ignored.

The above change inserts the applet-clock and enables the pop up menu. I'm still working on how to pop up the pop up menu. :)

I'm working on preparing the needed applet clock upload right now (dinner time here)

Well at least you managed to upgrade to 2.7.1. For me the device hangs after restarting. :(

Now now... you should have known better, right? Didn't iRex warn beta testers that the upgrade would disable the discovered exploits? ;)

so you forgot the & at the end of the line.

Scotty, I'd pull this update - or make it shell-clickable. Updating startup.sh is one of the most dangerous things to do on the Iliad.

You misunderstood me. The device hung when updating to 2.7.1 on a bog standard device. Nevermind, after walking counter clockwise around it while reading the release notes backwards I reset it and now it works. Thank heaven for that, I've become quite addicted to it in the two months I've had it.

ok I am much relieved for you. Anyway, the warning still stands:

Changing startup.sh is really dangerous. If you get it wrong you will brick your iliad.

TadW, ask tribble to sign a NDA :D :D :D if you have some other hack for him.

If I ever setup a business sometimes and I do a NDA, I will allow for mimic communication without the support of paper. Only face and hand gestures. :p I can imagine the YouTube videos.

I put this file in /usr/bin with emelFM2, I reboot but I don't see any clock...

Could somebody explain to me how modify start.sh
(when I clicked it in emelFM2 it didn't open...)

I don't think any of Scotty1024's hacks are supported anymore, which is a shame... :( If it wasn't for the reflash util, these should be marked "Danger...!"... :D
