    Is there a way to completely uninstall screenrotate and go back to the original kernel and what not? Basicly undo all changes made.

    Also, when I uncheck "use power button to rotate" box in the settings tab, why doesn't the factory default pop-up menu stop working when the power button is pressed?

    Wow, this was amazingly easy to install... Great job!

    A few pages back someone mentioned editing sliderotate.py to change the behavior of the program... is there any way to make double press power screen rotate? The idea being changing shortpress to disabled, and having long press bring up the power menu.

    No more screen rotations for menu or powerdown, and none of the issues regarding bringing up power menu on rotation.. The only issue being needing to use the screen to power down, but it seems a viable sacrifice for having the device not do random things when you tell it to do something.

    Sorry for the ignant question, but I installed 0.0.23.diablo and in popped up with the instructions and then some check boxes. I then went to xterm to code the ./install-kernel and i realized i had no idea what it meant to code that. I tried typing it in a few different ways and it would always tell me it was not found.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Install easyroot:

    http://nitapps.com/dists/chinook/use....0-4_armel.deb

    Open up an xterminal window and type this in:

    root [hit enter]

    ./root/install-xrandr-kernel [hit enter]



    Now can someone help me and show me how to uninstall screen rotate completely?

    This killed my dual boot? Hmm, gotta get my bootmenu back. I was in my boot from SD when I tried to install this, did the sudo gainroot, then the following command, it was flashing then it shutdown. Booted into flash only now.

    Edit: Installed Penguinbait's boot menu installer and it redetected my boot from SD partition giving me the choice again (just gotta figure out how to re-edit the settings on it now).

    And it works (on my boot from SD partition).

    Yup, it kills dual boot, you need to install http://penguinbait.com/bootmenu-installer.deb to get dual boot back.

    Now I gotta figure out how to uninstall this app..... or at the very least get my power switch working like it use to!

    To uninstall sliderotate, just go to application manager, then show installed apps and find sliderotate and uninstall. Or to change the power switch, go to the menu > extras > sliderotate settings and deactivate the box that says use power switch then save and quit.

    Can you change the power switch setting on your NIT and verify it restores the power switches behavior to factory settings? All that setting does is disable the power switch on my NIT.

    I have a feeling uninstalling from app manager won't "unflash" the kernel. Can someone confirm this?

    st5150, I get the same problem. I have to double click to bring up the power menu.
