Awesome guide. Clear and easy to follow. Got RotateMe v2.0 beta 5 working perfectly.

Thanks for the guide. Works great, got “rotateme 2.0″ running on my N95 8GB.

One thing though, the *.CSR file needs to be uploaded twice before I get to the page that enables me to download.

Other than that, everything else is just great!

Works just as described. Took about 12 minutes with all the email and back and forth of downloads….

I love breathing life into this phone. Whenever I get the urge for a new phone, I always find something new for the N95. LOVE IT! You rock and thank you.

Thanks dude. It works perfectly but you forgot to specify where the auto_signsis.bat is found.

Those of you who can’t manage the last part just check the link on the end of the post with pictures. That’s how I manged to make it work.

Thanks for the help

“Save the file in Notepad “don’s save as , just Save !! ” then open the file in windows , you’ll see that a new file is created called signed application”

I DID IT! How stupid of me, I missed a full stop from the file name thats why it was not creating the new file. Magical bit of software! Absolutely love it.

It’s a shame they’re blocking various ISP email addresses for legitimate registrations.

Worked a treat, I signed up to http://www.endjunk.com for an email address which worked fine. Thanks for the guide, I didn’t have a single hiccup.

Its required to have a publisher ID now, Won’t let you make a request without it. Plz advice :(

As Soley advised, this can no longer be done. Quote from Symbian Signed –

Your request has failed. Reason:
- Developer Certificates will be ENABLED for users who have a Publisher ID ONLY. (during GMT office hours)
- ONLY if you used a Publisher ID to create a .csr file with the DevCertCreate tool will you be able to use Open Signed Offline to create a Developer Certificate.
- Developer Certificates are currently DISABLED for users without a Publisher ID. Users who DO NOT have a Publisher ID CANNOT request Developer Certificates or use Open Signed Offline.
- Open Signed Online and Offline for users without a Publisher ID will NOT be available temporarily, an update will be provided during Week beginning 25th Feb
- If you have recently obtained a Publisher ID and are unable to create a Developer Certificate using Open Signed Offline please request support through the Symbian Signed forum on the Symbian Developer Network

Any ideas how to get around this now? :)

Cheers

there is no (free) way around it yet, and i bet a lot of people will be annoyed with this (devs in particular) cause it affects the usability and popularity of all unsigned apps from now on
