My N95 Hints, Tips and Help

NiiMe is a software developed in Python that makes use of the accelerometer inside you N95. Basically it allows you to control your mouse via the N95 via bluetooth + the accelerometer.

To get this software you need to install Python for S60 in your phone (if you haven’t already done so), a bluetooth adapter and the NiiMe software on your PC.

Check it out!
You can find a good tutorial here on how to set things up and get them working.

rotateMe – a freeware application for the N95, which allows you to switch your phone screen from portrait to landscape and vice versa, has now been updated to version 2.0 (final). A newer beta version is also in the works. Both versions are still unsigned – please use the instructions on how to sign your own app in one of those earlier posts.

Shakelock is another application for the built in accelerometer.

With shakelock you can lock and unlock your phone by shaking it.

Shake it from left to right to unlock the phone and shake it up and down to lock the phone.

When you install the app you have to change the date of your phone to march 2007 and when it is installed you can change the date back.

New version of flipsilent released on the 13th of Jan 2008
You can find it here
Another accelerator application for the n95.

It is called flipsilent and it has the same function as the future app “shutup” made by samir.

Install it on your phone and apply the settings that you wish for.

It can go to silent mode but it can also end a phone call and all that by flipping your phone upside down.

You can get it here.

I only discovered a few days ago (thanks to this blog) that my N95 had an accelerometer in it. I tell ya I was on a high all day! Since then I’ve found an assortment of little apps to show off this little nifty feature! If you’re like me and behind on the news, an accelerometer is a little chip inside the phone (similar to the iPhone & Nintendo Wii) that allows you to control apps via movement of the N95. Nokia put it in there so that it could determine whether a photo was taken in Landscape or Portrait. I’m actually suprised that they didn’t develop and market this feature in the release of the N95.

NOTE: All these apps are suitable for the N95 and the N95 8Gb.

NOTE 2: Some of these apps need signing. Follow this great guide to sign your own apps.

You can print this guide, as well. For best results, be sure your ink cartridge is full.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE INSTALLED THE N95 ACCELEROMETER PLUGIN FIRST! Click Here to get it!

rotateMe v2.0 as mentioned on this site allows you to rotate the screen with the tilt movement of the phone. Just like the iPhone you can rotate your screen into landscape to view photos full screen.

Nokmote (from the same developer as rotateME) allows you to make selections on your N95 with hand gestures. Replaces your directional pad in every application including games. Change song selections with a shake just like the SE W910. Also available at Nokia MOSH

Moving Ball is a little app which I think was designed by the Nokia crew to demonstrate the accelerometer in the N95.

Light Saber – Turn your N95 into a Light Sabre. Makes the genuine sounds according to the movement of your phone. Includes impact sounds as well. Fight as a Jedi (Green) or on the Dark Side (Red). 5/5 for fun!

Inclinometer gives you a visual of the angle your phone is on. Is designed so you can see the angle of your car when 4-Wheel driving. *This version lacks calibration to compensate for holding the phone upright or mounting in phone holder*

Accelerinvaders is Space Invaders on your phone controlled by the accelerometer. This is the latest version which allows you to put the phone into landscape and play, as well as using phone vibration to enhance gaming experience.
