Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Don't feel like reinstalling all apps again. Will wait for PR1.2 to come. Keep the good job you are doing, I will monitor the topic closely. ;-)

PS. I had to reflash phone several hours after getting - bricked it editing keyboard layout file to get "|" and "~" isntead "pound" and "euro". It is an easy operation but then all aps must be reinstalled...

PS1. Is it possible to try to get only sound and vibra notification from your app? Deleting the code that presents icons on status menu? That will be fine with me for the moment.

Well, you don't need to delete any code, because it's not the notification code that won't make the app start. The problem with your phone is that it won't start up any python status menu plugin, regardless it's nature (I don't know about any c plugin - do you have any at all?).

You could use the instructions from this post in order to get the sound & vibration notification (they are controllable from the control panel).
Add the "#!/usr/bin/python" line to the top of the file as well.

In order to start it each time the phone restarts, you should create a file (doesn't matter what its name) and place it in /etc/event.d, with the following content:

Code:

start on stopped pymaemo-optify

stop on stopping xomap



service

console none

exec /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/CallNotify.py

I'm not sure about the results, so do it on your own risk, but if it will work, it will start the callnotify without the status menu icon (assuming you've changed the py file as described in the post mentioned above).

I am so stupid - of course I have only to run your script. That's what I did now. I usually do not reboot the phone often(except when testing smth ;-)). But it is one command in root bash history to run after restart. ;-)
Thank for the help! ;-)

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

Okay now CallNotify is working for me again.

I really don't know what I did. I do know that I changed batteries so maybe that did the trick to get everything running again.

Now I'll just never switch my phone off and all should be well :D

Hi again! Yes, of course, you could do that :p or if you prefer solving the root cause, you can just use the small troubleshooting steps I posted as a reply, and we'll work through it together :)

Re: [Announce] Call Notify

I had just installed the callnotity 0.0.6-3 and doesn't works. It was never installed on my N900.

If I go to settings/extras/Call Notify I get the following message:
Internal Error. Application 'Settings' closed.

Hi zaedej! You can find the app under the extras-devel repository. Nevertheless, it's not recommended for newbies to add this repository without knowing what they are up to. You should read this first.

After you enable the repository you can find Call Notify with a bunch of other softwares in testings.

Please note that I do not recommend installing this app without any basic knowledge of working with the terminal.
This is app is still in testings and it might not work for you after installations, and then i'd like to do some checks to see why, and this requires working with linux terminal (x-term), FYI...
