RockNScroll Beta 1.0 - Unsigned

I have told you yesterday that I was honoured by Keynetik to receive “RockNScroll” as one of very few elected people to have a look at it even before the public release.
It is clear for me to present you all the features of this amazing application in this large preview and I really hope to succeed in fulfilling the quality of this application.
Don’t care if you don’t know anything about “RockNScroll”, I will start completely from the beginning.

What the Application is about

Accelerometer technology is currently amazing most of the users of current Nseries phones. The amount of available new concepts and new applications isn’t stopping.
The most famous developer of accelerometer using applications, Samir, has started the wave of accelerometer application with “rotateMe”, a wave which didn’t stop till now and won’t stop so soon.

Samir’s next project was “Nokmote”, the first application which brought motion input to S60 devices. “Nokmote” was actually developed for playing games and was simply too sensitive to work satisfying for menu navigation.

Shortly after its release, a video occurred on YouTube showing an application you could mistake as a “Nokmote” copy. However, only a little deeper glance showed that “RockNScroll” developed by the world’s leading motion input enterprise, Keynetik, is everything else than that.

“RockNScroll” is a single sensor based application providing motion input to latest Nseries phones like the N82, N95, N95 8GB and also the coming N96. That means you can control your phone only with movements without pressing any key, providing access to nearly all functions of an S60 phone.

The application is not only thought for menu navigation; it offers also a gaming mode bringing new gaming experiences in a similar way like Nokmote. Of course this is just a little extract of what this powerful software can do. Read on to discover more about its other features.

“RockNScroll” gives you the possibility to navigate in the menus of your accelerometer supporting Nokia device by using different gestures. With little flicks of your wrist in the corresponding direction, you are able to move the cursor right and left, up and down.

Menu navigation consists of course not only of moving the cursor. “RockNScroll” supports a “Push gesture” which is used to confirm a selection and a “Pull gesture” for back or exit command. As you can see, Keynetik thought about all necessary possibilities to make menu navigation as comfortable as possible. It didn’t work with “Nokmote” like this, not only because of the high sensitivity, but also because of the lack of a “Back gesture”.

While navigating, you can hold the device in nearly every angle you like; the application adjusts itself to the phone’s position. Also an advantage in comparison to “Nokmote” which worked only in a certain angle.

1. Up/Down/Left/Right tilt gestures to emulate single press on navigation pad. Will be operable in any orientation (portrait/landscape) and any position (horizontal/vertical/in between) as shown in the video. Good for menus and some games.
2. Some noise filtering. It won’t be totally immune to interference, but it will be usable while in motion (walking, driving, etc.)
3. Adjustable sensitivity levels
4. Scroll mode: Tilt (same as 1) and hold for scrolling to emulate press and hold on nav pad. Good for phone books, media player, etc.
5. Game mode: Orientation and position specific based on device tilt and angle. Meaning you will have to hold in horizontally at 0 angle in landscape orientation. Good for at home gaming.
6. Screen rotation: Rotating device from portrait to landscape.

From the developer

I did 5 more tests and talked to my friends from msn who has n95-8gbs, now I can confirm that ROTATEME is the main issue widely… In order to run RnS in n95-8gbs ROTATEME must be uninstalled also users must disable autostart feature of flipsilent,shakesms and any other acc based apps… Then reboot n95-8gb and now Rns can be started… After starting RnS, users can start any other acc based application…

EDIT: I tested with another n95-8g and this time i had to uninstall just rotateme not flipsilent(autostart off) and shakesms(autostart off) in order to run RnS… Strange… So it seems that Rotateme is the main problem in some n95-8gbs for RnS, but also other acc apps must not be started during boot process … Hope this helps !:pray:
