oh dear. yes that's the point of it as said in first post. rename that file to something else and try again.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

you lost me here!

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

as said in first post those lines in prefefrences file block apt-get from installing hildon-desktop from official repository. I suggested that you rename that file something else and do apt-get update and try to install hildon-desktop again and see if it still gives error message.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Dear NOC, please tell me step by step procedure of copying this transitions.ini file. i have installed rootsh but what to do next? please tell me all commands step by step.
Thanks

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Thanks Mohammad! wget worked fine, and the results are noticeable. Thanks again for the good work.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Can anyone please tell me how to debug this? There is a log file af the hildon-desktop anywhere? If yes what are the lines for Xterm?

Anyone is having this issues?

Help please I don' want to reflash!

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

apt-get --reinstall install hildon-desktop is not working for me. It says:

Any ideas?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

... maybe desktop command execution widget can be responsable for this issues?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

What a bunch of answers! Great! Thanks!

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Mate, widgets are part of hildon-home, they don't have anything to do with hildon-desktop, blaming a problem on something when it's coincidence isn't the best thing to do.

Now I'm not sure where you messed up your device to the point where it can't download binaries from the SSU repo, but I suggest making a new thread where you DON'T blame hildon-desktop and blame some other widget for causing it to hang.

As for others, this thread has nothing to do with transitions, please follow the respective threads for transitions.ini questions, thank you :)

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

I took a closer look at the hildon-desktop source code (actually, at hd-launcher-tile.c) and I think it should be reasonably easy to rotate icons 90o when the device is turned into portrait orientation. In order to do this, you will need to listen to device orientation messages (via DBus, I guess) and call clutter_actor_set_z_rotation_from_gravity() on each icon tile. Same can be done with the widget icons used to start applications.

Unfortunately, I am away from home and cannot try it by myself. MohammadAG, as you are already tinkering with hildon-desktop, would you try following this path, or is it too much bother?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Installed modified hildon-desktop to get rid of screen glitches on incoming call. So far everything is working as expected. I am happy with being able to use phone app in portrait mode. No issues here for me.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Is it also possible to fix bug 10412?
I still sometimes have that bug even with this hildon-desktop version and it is annoying to see the battery drain after sleep for example :(

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

The package in this thread is a recompilation of the Hildon-Desktop found in the official gitorious repository, and it intends to bring users the fixes that were done since PR 1.2, but haven't been released yet.

As I read through the comments of that bug report, it is still vague and not clearly reproducible. It is even possible that is caused by some third-party app.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

I had to reboot as well to get the full effect out of this.

Slowish kinetic scrolling and the Call UI bug all persisted until a reboot.

I did this by btrowsing to this thread on my N900, downloaded the .deb and did the rest through the terminal.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

This is brill MohammedAG...been following your valuable input into the community and just wanna thank you! So....Thanks :) and KEEP IT UP!!!

Maybe in the future we could see less friction in all the menus throughout the phone eh? someday...someday :P

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

DrLaunch doesn't seem to work after installing the patch/hack. I click on the icon and the app doesn't open.. Any possibility of fixing it?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Please read message #90 from this thread and try again.

btw. Works for me.

.edit
I do not wonder why developers sometimes tend to avoid posting here. *sighs*

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

One strange think pop up after update. Sync between Outlook and N900 calendar via Ovi Suite stopped working. Suite flags error code 8004fd22.

According to logs the previous syncs worked before.

Could it be this, or has something else happened?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Hello
I have this problem, while on the internet or just msn, noted as one tries to stop the internet service because it is ringing but this is not displayed, then I introduced the missed call message, and tested and so, give tone to the call and the call simply do not enter.
I and restarted, as shown and believe me is not the solution and as I have read is not good to do all the time, I flashed completely left as the factory and still gives me that problem.

Sorry for my English .

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Oops.. Restart fixed it for me..

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

thank you!!!!
tired of people having a field day when I cant answer my own questions.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

dude, whats up with your negativity?
i SAID i didnt FIND it.
i DO not NEED to take your nonsense! why dont you vent your anger to some troll forums?
there are tonnes of em here.
good god, im just asking for help, im not being a troll.
RELAX!

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Maybe those pining lines from the first post where responsable for this.... There is a reverse method to unpin?
Thanks!

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

ohm. I´m starting to suspect that you have no idea what that command did in xterm. (if so then why did you install this in first place?)

rename corresponding file to something else and try to apt-get update & install hildon-desktop. report here.

.edit
Ahhh. Let´s cut the crap. Do you know how to do basic operations (move,copy,delete,rename, make dir..etc) in xtrem?

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

i know to handle xtern but i'm a beginer. i don't undertand all the lines. i made the update cause i had trust in mohammadand in his reputation and the kinetic bug was also annoyng for me...

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Hi - sorry I realise this has probably been asked and answered before but there are a lot of pages in this thread so please excuse me if you have heard this all before.

Firstly - I've installed the faster scrolling .deb and it's great, so thanks!

Secondly - is there (or will there be) a community updates repository which we will be able to use on the N900 to update to the latest community bugfixes or features? I don't know if there are regular builds made or if people just make code changes and others compile it of their own accord. I don't see Nokia bringing out a PR 1.3 but a way to update to all of the community bugfixes easily would be a godsend.

EDIT: I like how one of the tags for this thread is "great stuff"

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

@puiradu
What slender means is that you just rename file /etc/apt/preferences to something else and try again updating.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Post 8 in this thread... :)

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Thanks - I did see that but I was wondering if there was a path that I could add to use with apt-get or the app manager on the phone (as in do they regularly get packaged to .debs anywhere?) Forgive my noobishness, I've never had a large active part in any open source community bar being a user.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

There will be according to MohammedAG (kudos to him)... ;)

SSU means Seamless Software Update. Add Community in front of that and You've got the answer to Your question.

In other words, it will be another repository just like Extras etc... :)

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

MohammadAG thanks for this :)
Keep up the good work bro!
Maybe you should create a repo with the pre-pr1.2.1/1.3 packages so we can get the fixes early.
I also saw you created a updated package for the pulseaudio stack that fixes stuttering, I'm going to test that tomorrow.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Same here. I am able to sync my Outlook 2007 calendar until this upgrade yesterday. Now I'm also getting the error warning when it tries to sync the calendar. Contacts appears to sync ok

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

Urgent help required. I installed this transferring the file to MYDOcs and entering code:

root
dpkg -i /home/user/MyDocs/hildon-desktop_kinetic_2.2.138-1+0m5_armel.deb
killall hildon-desktop

However, now I can only use four desktops (even though in manage views there are 6 desktops selected). Also I cannot scroll between desktops using keyboard arrow keys (which I prefer a million times to swiping with my finger).

I don't know if the problem is this conflicts with modifiled hildon home. Is there a fix? If not how do I revert back to before I put this on? Will deleting the file from MyDocs be enough?

EDIT: Okay found this: Anyways, to undo, apt-get --reinstall install hildon-desktop

Did that and get message "Package hildon-desktop is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source"

If there is a major conflict between this and modified hildon (which looks like is the case) then I think there should be a warning in the first post.

EDIT 2: Okay I managed to restore. I did:

apt-get --reinstall install modified-hildon-desktop

Now I am back to having 9 desktops and being able to scroll between desktops using the keyboard. Yaaay.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

MohammadAG , You are the man ! Thanks a lot :)

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

i'm confused!
will this cause problems when i have modified transitions.ini installed?

also: i'm always getting "no such file or directory" when i try to install this. "dpkg: error processing .....deb (--install): cannot access archive: no such file or directory"
why???
i tried with both "root" and "sudo gainroot" (seem to be different), but both methods give me the same error message.
the file is located at the correct folder and i didnt mistype anything.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

@msa
Post exact steps/commands you are using. When you change to root you change directory as well. You can always check where are you by typing pwd. So if your .deb file is located in /home/user then when you change to root you have to type the complete path, because now your current directory will be /root .

PS. Always use ctrl+i to get your shell autocomplete - this will save you a lot of typing.

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

thanks for the ctrl-i hint!

but i see the problem now: i ssh'd into home/user/mydocs and put the deb-file in there

but when i enter home/user/mydocs via terminal and check with ls, it shows me a whole lot of other folder that i didnt see when i copied the files through my computer. looks like this is a completely different mydocs?!

what i did:
copy the .deb-file to /home/user/MyDocs
start terminal
sudo gainroot, after this i was at /home/user
cd MyDocs/, after this i was at /home/user/MyDocs/
dpkg -i longassfilename.deb (<- ctrl+i didnt work on that either)
bla bla no such file or directory

Re: [Announce] Faster kinetic scrolling in app menu (PR1.2)
 

@msa
If ctrl+i does not autocomplete it, it is just not there. You can check by running "ls|grep deb" and it will find all files having deb in their name.
