If you enjoy Light Saber and feel like it please donate

After you have upgraded your firmware and restored your phone you will need to:

o Uninstall Light Saber

o Uninstall Accelerometer (if there)

o Reinstall Accelerometer

o Reinstall Light Saber

o Re-start phone for good luck.
I’ve No idea why the restore after upgrade doesn’t work I suspect if doesn’t restore the Accelerometer DLL that light saber relies on.
For other problems please check out the FAQ.

Beta version of Light Sabre 1.5 , should work on Nokia 5500 and devices that support the Sensor API (not N95).

THIS HAS NOT BEEN TESTED , as I don’t have a 5500 so feedback welcome.

Q: Some people are having problems with installation and certificates. If you have a problem

A: Go to

Applications -> App mgr - > Options -> Settings -> Software Installation :

Select ‘All’

Q: Application Won’t start:

A: Check the following:

• the N95 Acceleromter sis file installed
  from http://research.nokia.com/files/N95_RD_Accelerometer.zip
• Have installed to the Phone Memory and NOT the memory card (sorry still not fixed)
• If all else fails uninstall and then re-install light sabre

Q: V1.5 doesn’t have any sound

A: Make sure vibrate is enabled in your current profile or turn off vibration in the settings page in light sabre.

Q: V1.5 Light sabre isn’t sensitive enough

A: The labels in the sensitivity preference are confusing min is the most sensitive and max is the least. durrr.

Q: V1.5 My settings aren’t saved

A: After you have chosen your preferences , select light sabre from the menu the settings are now saved.

Some ideas for next versions I’m considering:

• Remove long clash sample
• Add vibration support ( low level constanst for hum and shock for hit)
• Add new Dialog to allow setting sensitivity of swings and hits
• Add new Dialog to allow fine tuning of volume
• Add new Dialog to allow setting of lots of different sabre colours
• Save settings ( sensitivity, volume, sabre colour)
• Implement a software audio mixer to allow sabre hum to play at the same time as the swing.

Any others ? or just leave it and stop releasing stupid updates
