Sorry various people are complaining they want to know what this app does.
Well it’s erm a light sabre toy app that when you move you’re phone it goes whummm whummm and when you swing harder it’ll make a hit a hitting noise.
(from http://symbianworld.org/1347-lightsabre-for-nokia-5800-n97/)
New release to support Nokia 5800 and 5th edition touch phones (upcoming N97 ect),
Reported working on:
- N96
- N85
- n79,
- 6210N
There are reports from symbian freak that sabre only works on v20 + firmware on the 5800 so an update may be needed.
Touch to turn on / off sabre
-
IMPORTANT install to internal memory ( C:/) drive (known defect)
-
For best results turn off auto screen rotation in phone settings (otherwise you’ll get lag in the sound when the screen changes)

New port for Samsung i8510 (or for Samsung V3 phones with G Sensor API)

Sorry It looks like both the N96 and Samung i8510 both have different versions of the accelerometer API, this means at the moment light sabre won’t work on either of these phones.
However a version for the i8510 is in the pipe line and I’ll post it when it’s working.
I don’t have access to an N96 but an accomplice may be able to help me we’ll see what happens…

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.
