So this looks like it's because of the new firmware.

By-the-way, I can activate the menu options but it entails measuring the distance of the menu option from the side with a ruler, then measuring that distance from the top of the screen and pressing at that distance with my finger up against the left edge of the screen. Unsurprisingly this makes the Launcher almost impossible to use! |

Yes, I have discovered that touch coordinates are rotated 90 degrees to the display. So in most cases OK button or Cancel are outside touching zone at all, making it impossible to quit application or launcher. Even holding power button doesn't do the trick. Eventually after few tries, being connected to PC, launcher or application hangs, causing reboot. That's the only way to exit launcher.

You can try something. Write
Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate Code:
echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate |

Code:
echo 0 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate $ROOT/launcher -qws -stylesheet $STYLESHEET echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fb0/rotate I did not try it myself however. As for the last line, I am not sure. If nickel doesn't work after returning from the launcher, try Code:

Out of curiosity, I tried myself to start the Kobolauncher from nickel, and it works on my Touch. I upload my launcher.sh here. If you try it on a model different from the Touch, please let me know whether it is working. (If on other models nickel is unresponsive after returning from the launcher, slide the power slider into the on/off position and hold it for 20 seconds. After that you can power on again.)
Edit: It does not work on Glo, cf. this post, and it is rather unlikely that it works on Aura HD and Aura. Last edited by tshering; 03-06-2014 at 03:15 PM. |
