I went ahead and installed 'gainroot' on the Nokia, and used vi to edit the following startup file:
/etc/osso-af-init/real-af-base-apps At the end of the file, I added a line to run the application: /usr/bin/application-name This seems to work great in general, but I'm observing an odd behavior that doesn't make much sense to me - but maybe someone else can explain and/or offer another solution. If I'm at the Nokia's desktop, plug the unit into the charger, and hit the power button to turn the Nokia off, a black screen comes up with the word 'Charging' with an animated battery icon. BUT, after a few seconds, the application I am trying to auto-start pops up onto the screen, but is unresponsive (the touch screen does not work). Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
