I don't know if it's the right way to do this, but I can successfully start an application at startup on my Nokia 770 (N800 might differ) after doing these steps: 1) experiment in terminal to find the exact command with absolute path you can use to launch the desired app; 2) become root 3) modify the file "/etc/osso-af-init/real-af-startup" inserting a new line after the n. 91, where it says "rm -f /tmp/im_disable_tools_menu" 4) write in the new line the command tested at step 1) PS: If you're looking for a simple way to modify the "real-af-startup" file, you can install "mc" (Midnight Commander), it has a builtin editor. On reboot, it should load your app... But, *PLEASE*, wait for other replies because this one is a somehow dangerous way and if something goes wrong you will have to find a way to edit the file back to normal; if there's no way, you'll have to reflash. For caution, you should install open-ssh first. -- Antonio
