LightSabre for Nokia 5800 & N97

LightSabre for Nokia 5800 & N97 LightSabre for Nokia 5800 & N97

Light Sabre made its way to S60 5th Edition finally. Using the built in Accelerometer API of the N97 and the 5800 you can use your phone as a light sabre.  It’s offering you several settings such as volume, sabre colour and more. This application is of course freeware and really funny when you show it to your friends.
Although it is developed for and tested on the Nokia 5800 only, it should works with 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 devices like Nokia N96, Nokia N85, Nokia N79, 6210 Navigator, as well as to Nokia E66 which is based on the Feature Pack 1.

  • 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)

    Install it to phone memory, as it is a known problem with the card installation.

  • Kumar

    same here i installed it on c but it still didnt work

  • Kumar

    what a bummer

  • WillowsPuppy

    I get the same prob as many others here – app installs but then won’t launch.

    I think it is a firmware problem, seems to only work with V20, NOT V11 – which is what the phone is shipped with and what most people seem to have (Settings>Phone>Phone managment>Device updates). I’ve tried update using the update option in the ‘device updates’, but according to Nokia i have the latest version, which clearly i don’t.

    I’m not sure i have the energy to fiddle with my phone to get this app working – IMO the developer should really either A) Fix it so it does what it says on the tin OR B) Give DETAILED instructions as to how to fix it oneself.

  • WillowsPuppy

    Those that CAN get it working, what version of firmware are you runningon your 5800XM?

    Only interested in 5800 users here!
