Installed latest version and everything is working brilliant Noob. Vibration test is a nice touch and works perfect.
Just one little thing is it possible to make the update button update all the tabs at the same time instead of one at a time? Just a thought. Thanks again mate.

yup will dot that at then before testing version. at the moment it's quicker to do it separatley for my own testing purposes.

will remeber to re-add it though

and great to hear the vibrate works! (i don't use it on mine, so was odd feeling it buzz away again!!!)

Hi, does the test vibrator work correctly? think my vibrator may be faulty or maybe the 900 vibrator is really poor.

noobmonkey | # 176 | 2010-03-02, 18:41 | Report

hmmm it is very poor - works fine for me and a few others, but that doesnt guarantee its not the app at the moment.
in x-terminal you can run

to deactivate (do it even if it is not vibrating...

edit - sorry pulled it out of my code - removed the coding bits... should work now


but a better test is to turn on vibrations in your profile - should let you know if it is working

i see uve changed back to old icon

noobmonkey | # 178 | 2010-03-03, 10:03 | Report

Hmmmm.... i didn't... not sure what's going on with it though......
It seems to use the old icon when it feels, my desktop icon is still the heart....

Must be having a moment!

Ok... there seems to be some descrepency in peoples opinions about rootfs saving tools as they can be dangerous.
Other posts mention cCleaner 'like' apps....

I'm thinking specifically running scripts like: to move fonts etc out of rootfs to save space, autoclean, remove unused dependencies etc......

Now i agree normally these are not for the faint haearted, but if i can confirm where they are and move them safely... is this still considered a risk, and not worth including?

As much as i'd like to help the community and add some useful noob-friendly tools - i don't want to go too far so to speak.

I could split the tools into categories
"Safe"
"Testing"
"Development"

Similar to the repo's to provide an example...
Very interested in any opinions, suggestions, examples or solutions people may have?
