Re: [Announce] MSCIM Switcher status menu applet (UPDATED)
 

My Conversations window froze after disabling MSCIM, so I clicked X to close, reopened and since then no problems.

May have to consider a smoother way to transition though. Please simply close Conversations with the X and reopen if you have problems - no need to reboot.

Thanks for packaging this. I have been using something similar for a while from another post, this is very helpful.

But isn't it necessary to kill rt-messaging-ui and browser/d since these two processes reside in memory?

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

You're most welcome.

I have not experienced problems with the browser, but yes I have noticed that Conversations can hang after disabling MSCIM, presumably because the app is connected to a process that is suspended. I mentioned this in the announcement.

I guess killing rtcom-messaging-ui is safe, apart from any half-typed messages in the chat window. I would like to see if there is a cleaner way also, of detaching from MSCIM somehow. Another idea I had was a middle layer between the input method and the apps, but that's probably unrealistic :D

Have you had problems with MicroB also, after disabling Hildon?

it would be nice to iron out the issues and get this into the repos for people who live in Asia, as it must really ruin the phone to have such short battery life and lose the nice features of Hildon input method!

I had Conversations freeze several times, so have reinstated 'killall rtcom-messaging-ui'. See post #1 of this thread for updated Debian package v0.0.4.

@Xagoln,

I tested ver0.0.3-1 and it works without problem. I checked both hildon & MSCIM input in Conversation, email, MicroB and other web client app. - all got positive reactions with No operation lag. It's great that I could see the virtual keyboard now. haha~ Thank you very much and here I paste my check result of /etc/sudoers.d/mscimswitcherstatus as below, FYI.

user ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/ln -sf /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules_mscim_on /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules
user ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/ln -sf /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules_mscim_off /etc/gtk-2.0/gtk.immodules

p.s.: I just realize that you posted the ver0.0.4_1. Let me check this and keep you posted. Thanks. :)

@Xagoln,

I installed ver0.0.4-1 and reboot as usual. There is a "Kill" pop-up message appeared on desktop. Does it stand for "Killing" of the rtcom-messaging-ui ??

I checked the same way as I did in ver0.0.3-1, NO issue observed.

May I take the liberty of asking you to fix the "Kill" pop-up message during the system start-up ?! It's not supposed to be "good" when user should see it every time after system boot up. Sorry, it's just my personal opinion.

However, I would express my sincere appreciation for your great job on this. :D

p.s.: I'd been tried the way of Manual SCIM on/off switching, but it brought some issue to my N900 and I had to re-flash the system. haha~

Yes, that was a debugging message that I left in by mistake. Sorry - very sloppy of me. I've now removed the message, so grab version 0.0.5 from the first post. For some reason I didn't see the notification in my final testing, or somehow ignored it.

Thank you. I'm just glad if it helps a few people.

I will have a read of this blog now.

I can't read Mandarin well enough to post information there - could you add a link to this thread perhaps?

我不明白你说什么:)

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

@Xagoln,

ver0.0.5-2 quick check done. The "Kill" message has gone and No abnormal issue observed. I made additional check on Contacts(Edit), File Manager, Opera11, cutetube-QML(search), Effing, Sociality and Fourcircle. The results are good as we expected.

Thank you very much for your good work, this certainly helps a lot of people. :)
