With the new update 0.1.11 the problem with the date being displayed in the wrong language when using the Locale option has be solved. Just thought I would mention it.

Does the lockscreen work if executed manually?

Code:

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen &

If so, the problem is just the script

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop



respawn



script

  exec su - user -c "exec /usr/bin/qtlockscreen"

end script

Hi there,
sorry I totally missed your answer.

This is my output:

Code:

login as: root

root@10.161.3.1's password:

IroN900:~# /usr/bin/qtlockscreen &

[1] 18174

What happens is, that "enhanced lockscreen" gets loaded but without wallpaper and slider icon. Funny thing is, enhanced lockscreen isn't even installed anymore ;)

Any other ideas?

Greetz,

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

@ sakya

any chance to make the Time widget something like this ?

Code:

[time]

TimeFormat="h:mm" choose between h:mm or hh:mm

TimeAP="Yes"  choose between Yes or No

TimeFont=";40;normal;0"

APFont=";15;normal;0"

TimeColor="255;255;255;255"

APColor="109;145;255;255"

so we can make Time widget with time and AP (AM , AP) on the same line with different font size and color , because with the current time widget we need to make 2 time widgets to obtain time and AP with different font size so when the time is something like 1:11 it will be far from AP widget and when the time is like 12:00 it will be near the AP widget

Ok if that goes in (which will need themes to adapt), i suggest changing the last remaining TextAlignment to TextPosition at the same time too :D

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

hi sakya,

could you add support for displaying of german umlauts (äöü)?
Cause I changed the weatherwidget.sh to use the german yahoo site to have german weather conditions, and its very cloudy ("bewölkt" in german) these days here in berlin;)
I also added "caching" of the conditions/min/max values, because if qtlockscreen calls weatherwidget.sh when the phone isn't online I only saw the weather image and no temperatues...

btw, are there any known bugs with the wifi widget?
Cause its not always visible when it should be...

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Hi Sakya got a bit of a problem i'm not really sure if this is anything to do with latest version of QtLoackscren i'm not sure whats caused this but everytime i have look at conky the CPU load is very high even though no extra apps are running CPU load is at 8.70: 7.60: 4.78 etc
which is very high its always at similar levels everytime after i wake up the phone normally it used to be close to 0.00: 0.00: 0.00 after long time of no activity!
Also phone gets laggy when phone is woken up after long time of inactivity when i press power button qtlockscreen shows up fine but when i move the lock slider it doesnt move but if i swipe it it unlocks! But if i lock it again and unlock it then the slider moves!
Is this harmful for my N900?
what can i do to solve this?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

I'm sorry but I don't really know where to look for you problems.
I use my N900 at 600mhz and the only situation I can see the lockscreen when unlocking using the hardware button is:
-Open the stock media player and play something (probably other landscape only program will do the same)
-Lock the n900
-Press the power button and let the lockscreen rotate into portrait
-Unlock with the hardware key
These way I can see the lockscreen (sometimes, not even always) for less than a second, probably due to the rotation (the stock media player is only landscape and the lockscreen was rotated to portrait).

Do you have something going on when locking/unlocking like lockdaemon?
Did you try to change the theme? I'm using the default one.

Btw I installed the speed patch and I can confirm that this solves the "2 seconds lock" when the power button is pressed.

@romiiio: well, in conky (or with the top command) you can check what process is taking that 7/8% of cpu.
The problem with the slider is a known problem (read the first post), but as I said the speed patch seems to solve it.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Sakya, i know u have gotten this request before, but how abt adding textRotate element for DateTime widget etc. Now of course that would depend on widget size being set by user properly like in Slidetounlock case. textRotate will be rotating text b/w 0, 90, 180, 270. So basic four options should do it.

another thing i had in mind was Clock widget but i am not sure how that would work. Perhaps import one of the desktop clock widgets like yahoo weather widget was recoded.

i love the designer mode, thanks a million

But having said that, you will still have to go through the ugly way of handling 12 hr versus 24 hr format. As soon as you mention AP and it turns into 12 hr format, AP will show but if you don't mention AP, it will turn into 24 hr format so AP has to be pushed out of the screen into oblivion lol .. ugly but workable solution

thats what I did with the Android theme that I uploaded it :(

any way thanks alot :)

Is that so, I have always been a bit scared of installing these so called speed-patches that some guys says making miracles.
But if it solves the QT 2s lock issue that would be a reason to try it out.
Have encountered any problem with a patch installed, Crashes etc?

I have same result. Always took this speedpatch thing for snakeoil due to lack of actual metrics in the thread, and of course because of the required reboot that always messes the comparisons up with any programs that use a lot of memory.

But as a reproducible metric it definitely did diminish the screen refresh time from 1-2 seconds to zero or very close to it (to a hundred of a second, as sometimes I see the previous screen for a blink of an eye).

Apologies to Karam if this really proves to be working in a long run. :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Hi, sorry for bothering, but I believe I have a bug and a feature request:

The bug: Whenever the QtLockScreen activates, if it has the weather plugin on, it will ALWAYS try to connect to the internet, wait until done and THEN show itself (or, if in the demonstration mode, lock itself). If I'm in slow connections, this is a problem. AND, also, it may help explain why it may be blocking some people from answering calls, because 3g/2g and call service don't like each other so much |:/
My solution would be one of this two:
1)Always cache the last weather at start or whatever (so it won't update only after showing itself, then, having the last possible weather always handy).
2)Free the app to not have to wait until the weather is updated (with threads).
OR, the best of all, a mixture of both. Always cache the weather, and free the app of it.

AND, my feature request:
I would like to be able to put the notification labels INSIDE of the picture's notification. I ask this because, if I try to make it by editing the background picture, if there's no notifications, they will stay there... empty. Well, I wish I would be able to do this:
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/3526/message2k.png
OR, to always be able to show the notifications, even 0.

Thank you!

This is very strange.
The weather widget is updated:
1.The first time the widget is updated (created)
2.When you connect to the internet and at least MinimumSecondsBetweenUpdates seconds passed from the last update
3.When AutoUpdateIntervalSeconds seconds passed since the last update.

You can test this by launching qtlockscreen in debug mode

Code:

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen -d

and then lock your phone, press the power button to activate the lockscreen and unlock.
Look at the debug messages: after the "start update" message you shouldn't see the message

Code:

In the next update you will be able to set TextAlignment to "center" and the text will be centered over the image.

Thank you very very much!

About the weather problem, this is what I meant that sometimes happens on my phone (not just on debug mode, but is more difficult to get it to "bug" - I'll try to track it further, sometimes it just works and sometimes it locks like here [in my half-backed screen]):

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

hi guys,

i already installed qtlockscreen and i have 3 questions:

1. when i am using the mediaplayer widget, the title name is mostly to long in portrait mode. is it possible to have the text aligned in the center of the screen and when the text is to long, it should display the text left aligned ( approx. 400px ). do you understand?

2. is it possible to define the display duration? 2 Mins for example?

3. is it possible to have a fm transmitter widget on the lockscreen?

cheers

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Hello everyone. I just discovered qtLockscreen yesterday, and I have to say it completely renewed my interest in my N900. Started playing around making my own lock screen, and I have a couple of questions:

The first one is the same as the user StocChr asked a couple of posts back: Is it possible to define the duration of the lockscreen? I would like it to display it a lot longer than now.

Also: is it possible to show the lockscreen by tapping the screen? As it is today I have to press the power-button, which is a little awkward sometimes. How about a double-tap to wake it?

I realize that these issues might not be addressed by qtLockscreen, but perhaps by the CSSU? Or maybe it is fixed already, and I just don't know how to unlock the functionality.

Any help appreciated!

Ya. Am waiting for the transparent backgrnd too.
Wanted it because i wanted it for the windows type concept and sakya immediately included in his code for next build.

Sakya is an awesome guy with lot of patience. Thanks sakya for all the work you are doing :)

could you add displaying of german umlauts?
I have changed the weatherwidget to use the german yahoo weather site and the conditions text often contains german umlauts (like bewölkt).
could you also a widget to display the contents of a file?
I would like to display the update time of the weather infos.

There seems a small problem with weatherwidget.sh file.
I made a small change and this one worked for me.
Try the attached file.
I think you know where to place it. /opt/qtlockscreen.

Here is a attached screenshot.

if you feel this looks good, attach it to the source.
