  Has anyone found documentation on how to update standard Raspian OS for the Raspad 3? I'd like to use mine for a portable SDR (software defined radio) and am using a build pre-loaded with Amature Radio specific software (HamPi). It is built on a standard Raspian OS. I'd like to add back in auto-rotation and cooling fan controls along with all the other goodies that RasPad offers. Are there instructions somewhere? Thx!

  So, I found the raspad-launcher github (https://github.com/raspad-tablet/raspad-launcher/blob/main/docs/installation-guide.md). It looks like what I was looking for, but I get the following error when I install it:

  pi@hampi:~/raspad-launcher $ sudo ./install
  RasPad Launcher install process starts
  [ OK ] Update apt...
  [ OK ] Install dependencies...
  Install RasPad Launcher
  [ OK ] Copy raspad-faq.desktop...
  [ OK ] Copy raspad-launcher.desktop...
  [ OK ] Copy icon...
  [ OK ] Copy raspad-launcher...
  [ OK ] Copy raspad-launcher-helper...
  [ OK ] Add excute permission...
  [ OK ] cp panel settings...
  [ OK ] change panel setting owner...
  [ OK ] replace menu icon...
  [    ] Reflash panel...[Fail]
  Install screen auto rotator
  [ OK ] Clone package...
  [ OK ] Install python-sh3001...
  [ OK ] Enable auto rotate...

  
  Error happened in install process:
  Reflash panel error:
    Status:1
    Error:No protocol specified
  Cant connect to display: :0

  Try to fix it yourself, or contact service@sunfounder.com with this message
  pi@hampi:~/raspad-launcher $ 

   

  Has anyone found a solution? Thanks again!

  @Dave R Have you executed it on the desktop or in vnc?

  Thank you for your time. This was done from the desktop. Is there a way to turn off the Raspad GUI and return it to native configuration? I was hoping the launcher would update the icons to be more touch screen friendly, but instead it replaced the original menu with Raspad menu.

  You can refer to this method to uninstall the topic: https://github.com/raspad-tablet/raspad-launcher/blob/main/docs/installation-guide.md#change-menu-back
