Any thoughts on how to fix it? I also have the problem that is is only half installed at the moment, so when i use it from the Settings menu and hit "save" i get the messages "failed to save the settings". Hence the reason for wanting to reinstall.

psswitcherd is supposed to be in /etc/event.d dir after the installation of the app. As it says the problem's in cp: /tmp/psswitcherd, can you plz do the following:

cp /etc/event.d/psswitcherd /tmp/

and then try reinstalling. If it still fails then you can go here and download the .deb file manually to your device then install this file.

sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file/psswitcher*

So i've got the thingy in the settings/control panel, but when i use it it says that the settings weren't saved. I think the install never happened correctly initially (as it has never worked), but i didn't noticed because it was when i got a bunch of errors thanks to the pygame dependency debacle.

So with the above information, what course should i take? Should i just delete all the above files and try to install again from apt-get?

Could the power buttons also be an option to answer calls?

Also could there be an option like proximity sensor to answer calls?

For example Phone rings, you place the phone to your ear and call is answered. Sounds a little hard I know because the phone maybe in the pocket at one time and the call maybe answered by accident, but just asking.

For feature 2 you presented the problem yourself
