Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

One more:

I modified the bluetooth status script to show the correct icon for connected or disconnected states. No icon is shown when BT is off.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/python

# Print bluetooth status icon off/disconnected/connected



import dbus



bus = dbus.SystemBus()



bluez = bus.get_object('org.bluez', '/')

adapter_path = bluez.ListAdapters(dbus_interface='org.bluez.Manager')[0]

adapter = bus.get_object('org.bluez', adapter_path)

powered = adapter.GetProperties(dbus_interface='org.bluez.Adapter')['Powered']

btstatus = bus.get_object('com.nokia.policy.pcfd', '/com/nokia/policy/bluetooth_override')

connected = btstatus.Get(dbus_interface='org.maemo.contextkit.Property')[0]



if powered:

    if 'default' in connected:

        print '<</usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icons/icon-s-status-bluetooth-active.png>>'

    else:

        print '<</usr/share/themes/blanco/meegotouch/icons/icon-s-status-bluetooth.png>>'

Ok, for gprs i think we need a script (i don't know how to do it) to reset the counter automatically every month. What do you think about this?.

Use the script with profilematic to check everyday if it's the day to reset. Not fully tested, before using it see your values with

Code:

gconftool-2 -R /cellui/settings/datacounter

and save it somewhere so you can manually recover.

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# reset the data counter on a selected reset day



reset_day="05" # change to your needs

day_of_month=$(date +"%d")

datetime=$(date +"%d.%m.%Y.%s")



if [ $reset_day = $day_of_month ]

then

gconftool -s --type string /cellui/settings/datacounter/transfer/gprs_home_tx_bytes "0"

gconftool -s --type string /cellui/settings/datacounter/transfer/gprs_home_rx_bytes "0"

gconftool -s --type string /cellui/settings/datacounter/general/gprs_home_last_reset $datetime

fi

thanks, didn't know that profilematic can do this, then you can trim the script to

Code:

#!/bin/sh

# reset the data counter 

datetime=$(date +"%d.%m.%Y.%s")

gconftool -s --type string /cellui/settings/datacounter/transfer/gprs_home_tx_bytes "0"

gconftool -s --type string /cellui/settings/datacounter/transfer/gprs_home_rx_bytes "0"

gconftool -s --type string /cellui/settings/datacounter/general/gprs_home_last_reset $datetime

It's always been that way ;)

{propertyname?abc} is "output abc if propertyname is not empty"
{propertyname!abc} is "output abc if propertyname is empty"

The "not empty" part is also why {wazapp-status?abc} doesn't do what you expect - it won't be empty when you are offline (it will evaluate to "offline" instead).

The reason why the "?" doesn't output the property name is that you can do something like this:

Code:

{song?Now playing: }{song}{song?

}

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Thanks, the Bluetooth status icon scripts have been merged. I wonder if we should also (in a subdirectory) include scripts such as resetting the data counters, forcing the update by re-setting the text, etc.. in the "billboard-scripts" repository, even if some of them don't really depend on Billboard - what do you think?

Coderus, do you know how to set an event to the timed daemon using a shell or python script? I know that on the system bus there is:

Code:

com.nokia.time /com/nokia/time com.nokia.time.add_event(QDBus

RawType::(iuuuuus(a{ss} x)

but I have no idea how to use this. Do you?

Probably a good idea. There is some demand for these and some sort of a repo for them can't hurt.

Edit: I just remembered there is one more script that has to do with Billboard in the ProfileMatic thread.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Hi !
I would like a 'nameday' (swedish) script, it would be nice to show it on the Billboard screen.
Has anyone the knowledge to do that ? ( I can't).

If by "nameday" you mean something like this:

http://stjarnhimlen.se/ndag/ndag2001.html

Then you could start by transforming that page into a text file (one day per line) in a way that you can parse by a script and then write a small shell script that greps the right day out of it, e.g.:

Code:

~ $ cat nameday.txt 

01.01. Nyårsdagen

02.01. Svea

...

08.01. Erland

...

~ $ awk "/^$(date +%d.%m.)/ { print "'$2'" }" nameday.txt

Erland

So the "nameday.txt" contains the names on each line (DD.MM. NAME), and the awk command gets today's name based on that. I've added a script to billboard-scripts, but you will have to write (copy'n'paste or process) your nameday.txt yourself :)

Well, I haven't found one... I'm guessing it's a struct of some kind you have to feed it but I'm completely clueless as to what the syntax is. Oh well, I guess I'll manage with ProfileMatic and it's timing rules.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Hi

I would like to use the "color-battery-bar" property in such a way, that it would change color when battery level goes below 30%. I have tried to find it out myself, but as I know absolutely nothing about coding this is not easy.

I tried with http://docs.python.org/2/tutorial/ and came up with idea of using an IF-statement. But I can't make it to work, maybe somebody could help me? I am way too lost here...

if [ {color-battery-bar} {battery} >30 ]
then
echo {{green}}"%"
else
echo {{red}}"%"

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

@Boxeri there are no interpreter in Billboard. you should make your own color bar for custom colors.

Ok. Can I use color codes? As I don't know how to make a script that would even change the color to begin with, I am certain that trying to create my own color bar would be next to impossible for me :p

Maybe you want something like this:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



# lshal command thanks to joerg_rw #



status=$(lshal | grep -v grep | grep battery.charge_level.percentage | awk '{print $3}' | head -1)



if [[ $status -ge 30 ]]

then

echo {{green}} $status %

else

echo {{red}} $status %

fi

It will echo for example as 75 % in green and 29 % in red

I installed 1.0.7 via inception and what happened my standby screen which usually changes position once per minute or so, now changes position 20+ times per second!!!

uninstalled billboard and rebooted, problem remains.

installed it again and now it's ok. I have no idea how that happened :-)

Thanks again for this Thedead!

I am, however, doing something wrong as Billboard is not giving anything with this script. I ran it in terminal and it did give the battery status there. But when save it as battery.py to /home/user and write to billboard {script:/home/user/battery.py} there is nothing as an output.

Yes, I noticed that also. But even though I tried with .sh, I still could't get it to work :confused:

Is it ok to make it with notepad and save em with UTF-8 coding? Am I doing something wrong there?

you should do {script:sh /home/user/battery.sh} or if want to use {script:/home/user/battery.sh} you should do chmod +x /home/user/battery.sh

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

I can confirm that wazapp-status in 1.0.7 does not do it's job. My wazapp crashed a few minutes ago, and I did not start it again because I'm waiting on the standby screen to see if billboard will understand that wazapp is crashed but no - it still says "online".

Maybe not update but empty it? Return it to the state in which it is after a device reboot, before wazapp launched for the first time.

Right now I'm on a WiFi router with broken internet connection. Nothing works, but wazapp thinks he is online, but it's not. Billboard thinks we are online too. Useless plugin? NHF.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Again, thedead1440 was kind enough to help me with a script.
We extended his script for colored battery %, tested a bit and this seems to work, even with other text in the same line:

Code:

#!/bin/sh



status=$(lshal | grep -v grep | grep battery.charge_level.percentage | awk '{print $3}' | head -1)



if [[ $status -ge 50 ]]

then

printf "{{green}} $status"

fi

if [[ $status -ge 25 && $status -le 49 ]] 

then

printf "{{yellow}} $status"

fi

if [[ $status -le 24 ]]

then

printf "{{red}} $status"

fi

You only have to put the % in the BB-text, the color for it (and the rest of the line) will be the same as for actual percentage.
This will give you 100-50%, 49-25% and 24-0%. :)
Now if you want further info in that same line after the "%" in a different color, just add {{color}} before the text to come next.

EDIT: The following is already solved by slartis' *Ultimate Customizable Event + Alarm Attribute Getter*™.
Here's what I can't get to work:

- {{blue}}{events}{events? ☚} only works as desired if there's 1 event.
If there's 2 or more, only the first is shown blue (the rest is white) and only the last has the ☚ (which is obvious)

and

- {script: /home/user/alarm.py} is not showing at all with the last line of script edited to

Code:

sys.stdout.write('\n'.join(sorted(get_queued_alarms())))

instead of

Code:

print '\n'.join(sorted(get_queued_alarms())) or 'No alarms'

This modification is supposed to enable special characters in the BB text, but I get nothing at all.

Any help on this would be great.
Would it be possible to get events and alarms via shell script too?

Would the people who complain about a FREE open source whatsapp client developed by talented people in their spare time keep their complaining in the wazapp thread, please.
