I'm aware of the scripting capabilities of your app. However I don't see how to collect the rds information from the fm app.

dbus-monitor shows the following output. Is it possible to capture this output with a script. And if, can anybody give me a hint on how to do this?

Code:

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=108 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=rdsText

   string "KELLY CLARKSON - DARK SIDE - KELLY CLARKSON - DARK SIDE         "

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=109 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=stationName

   string "ZUERISEE"

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=110 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=signalChanged

   uint32 10

   boolean false

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=111 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=stationName

   string "SIERISEE"

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=112 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=stationName

   string "ZUERISEE"

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=113 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=ptyInfo

   string "Children's programmes"

signal sender=:1.1565 -> dest=(null destination) serial=114 path=/com/akozhan/fmradio; interface=com.akozhan.fmradio; member=ptyInfo

   string "Pop music"

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

First of all, I would like to thank thp for this beautiful application.

Now, I have a little problem getting {network-name!foo} to work: when the phone is not connected to any network, the application correctly displays "foo", but if I connect to a network, it doesn't show anything.

Using {network-name} everything works fine (it correctly displays the network name). Does anybody have the same problem?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Is it working fine with PR 1.3? I don't seem to get the display correct. Instead of

3-June
Battery: 67%

I am getting

3-
Battery:

Tried restart. Didn't help.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

For all PR1.3 users (I've just upgraded as well):

Upgrade to PR1.3
Uninstall Billboard
Re-install Billboard

This will fix the customizations to the CSS file. You can also do it manually without uninstalling/re-installing it (the "cp" command is all one line):

Code:

devel-su

cp /opt/billboard/css/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia.css.billboard /usr/share/themes/base/meegotouch/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia/style/libsysuid-screenlock-nokia.css

Then reboot (or restart sysuid manually).

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

My lock screen is very dim, I am pretty sure it used to be brighter. I can't figure out how it got that way. I tried uninstalling Billboard and LPMC but it still dims to ~50% when I look the phone. Is this an option in N9 Quick Tweak (which I uninstalled a while back)?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

Love the app!! Especially because I can even write random things on the screen. Was wondering if you could add to-do's as well in addition to the events which you already added on there. Great app man

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen

hi,

did billboard support viewing system load like in lpsmagic?

[other stuff]

I tried this, but before restarting the BIllboard area was the default square and all letters were distorted and not everything fit.

After restarting Billboard wasn't showing anything, all I had on the LPM was the clock. Enabling or disabling Billboard made no difference.

I had to uninstall and reinstall in the end. It's working perfectly now.

After rebooting, you might have to wait for 5 minutes or so in order for Billboard to be started. It's started very late in the boot process (nothing I can do about that, and it's actually a good thing), because all the other apps (e.g. camera-ui, messaging, etc..) have to be prestarted first. You can have a look at the "top" or "ps" output right after reboot to see all the stuff that happens behind the scenes on boot! ;)
