Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I have an issue. I had Enhanced Lock Screen installed, uninstalled, and installed this instead. I'm using the Cordia theme.

Now, when I hit the power button on Lock, I first see the default Cordia theme lockscreen, then the wallpaper from the supposedly uninstalled Enhanced Lock Screen, and THEN this new QtLockscreen. Is this normal?

And when will there be a GUI? I tried editing the .ini file, but it says its read only. I used Filebox in root mode, editing the file in Notepad.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

use leafpad under root

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

There's a space there in the filename. Either rename the file to lockslider.png or edit QtLockscreen.ini

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

how do i change the config file i have leafpad installed how do i change the wallpaper images? what do i need to type in?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

what about CPU/RAM usage + impact on battery life? (real, in current difference, not perceived one...).

I know, I may check it myself, but I would like to know how it *should* impact something or not - what developer think about it - then, compare it with my results. It make debug(g)ing much easier.

Thanks in advance, Sakya, and also for work you've already done.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

ahaaaaaaa i have fixed the issu

the background should be 480*800 P or L

ok thanks to all

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

what the size of the background?
mine one seperated

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

just a few comments/suggestions to this AWESOME app:

1. my regional settings is set to malaysia and therefore the day written is in Malay i.e. friday = jumaat. how do i set it to English without changing the regional settings of the phone?

2. maybe adding icons to show we're connected to wifi/3G in the lockscreen? i'm sure this will be a nice touch.

3. GUI = mentioned too many times already in this thread.

4. clicking on the notifications brings us directly to the app. i.e. sms' brings us straight to the conversation app, missed calls brings us straight to the phone app.

5. i just can't seem to get the background to fit properly. even by using the default backgrounds i have on my desktop it doesn't fit properly... it looks like it's scaled smaller and tiled. HELP!

that's all for now. this is truly an awesome upgrade

EDIT: also, configuring the length of time the lockscreen stays before fading out would be great. to me, the current timelength is a bit too fast

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I want to adjust the mediaplayer set to center at landscape and portrait, but I tried many setting, still no good, anybody can set it ok?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

for whoever that has succesfully modded your qtlockscreen with interesting layouts...

SHARE SHARE SHARE it here!!!!!

hehehe

EDIT: of course... sharing means both screenshot and .ini codes as well.. :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

should combine the project with enhanceLockscreen.

great work !

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Hi all

I like it, great work.

PS: 1st French translation for your next release i can't test it with this release.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

for the slider widget could you make it so that you can just grab the whole screen and slide it away to reveal another image underneath or maybe the actual desktop?

how does this act with cssu's force rotation?

i'll try it out soon but not till monday i have an interesting layout in mind once i get it to test

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

command for battery widget and the last command is your destination :p

[Battery]
Images=":/images/battery_0.png;:/images/battery_1.png;:/images/battery_2.png;:/images/battery_3.png;:/images/battery_4.png;:/images/battery_5.png;:/images/battery_6.png"
PosL="700;15"
PosP="380;15"
PercentageFont=";10;bold;0"



as i mentioned it before suppose you have a font named torid then the command will be .


PercentageFont="torid;10;bold;0"
and the 10 above is the size of the font

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

has any one else faced it ?

it happened with me twice .
while i was editing the code to get the output wrote killall qtlockscreen and suddenly it stopped working and gave an error no process killed and the qtlockscreen is also not on the lock screen but restarting fixs it .

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

yeah i was about to edit my post as i was reading the code , sakya hasn't put anything in it to change the color of the font .
and have you tried killall qtlockscreen after saving the .ini file ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

i think the qtlockscreen uses the system font color as the default lockscreen also has it's clock in white font at my side , dont know about others .

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

if you have optimize n900 install on your device then no need to reboot after editing the config files...just use optimize to refresh the device....

if you havent change the font colour then yes it will use the default (white) font colour....

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

thanks buddy ,that was the first option came into my mind and i tried but it didn't work .

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

well it works on mine....i'm still editing the files....i'm able to place the album art in the middle & use different background for portrait & landscape mode....now i just trying to place the media button under the album art :D
i will post the screenshot after i done editing it...

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

sakya : yes this is a problem , happened with me again .
tried changing top rec pos and happened again .
do we have to use killall qtlockscreen all the time after saving ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

eefo you got the HTC portrait background?
i want it
thanks

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Many thanks for the comments. :)

Some answers
@Estel: the lockscreen should have no impact on battery life, it uses very little CPU.

@Dark_Angel85: at the moment there's no way to change the lockscreen language without changing the phone setting.

@F2thaK: I forgot to read the color setting for the font used in the battery widget, the next update will surely fix this issue.

@eefo: it happened also to me once. For some reason the process didn't respawn when I killed it.
If qtlockscreen is not restarted when you kill it just launch it from the terminal
I found a bug this morning: to stop the alarm I had to unlock the lockscreen to view the alarm screen. I'll fix this. ;)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

How did you take a screenshot like this? I have no clue on how to do this.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

install load-applet and it will give a camera option in status bar click on it and use camera button to take the pic or wait for 20 sec

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

BUGS: Can't put a rectangle under the mediaplayer controls, hence the extended rectangle.

Sakya, care to share the PNGs used for the battery etc, so that I can blank them and put in the ones from my lockscreen mockups?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

i asked him about the battery .pngs and he said you can just use your own but remember to separate them with ;

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

can you gimme the link ?
