Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

I just installed this as a replacement for camkeyd.

The camera button works, but the proximity sensor does nothing, actually it does not seem to work anymore: when I launch the phone app and cover it, the screen does not blank...

Is this possibly a bug induced by proximityd, or an unrelated problem with my device, and/or the PR1.1 update ?

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

Shortcutd is in the background waiting for events and consumes nearly zero power while doing this. For the proximity sensor it relies on events created by proximityd which in turn however consumes some power. You can use powertop to check this.

Works for me, could be a problem with your device. Already tried rebooting?

It works perfectly. Good job. On the other hand, I don't find it to be very useful.

What I really like to see is the following function:
1. No matter what state the N900 is in, either running some other applications or in screen saver mode, when I press the camera button, it brings me to the phone application.
2. When there is an incoming phone call, and I press the camera button, it answers the phone call.

After all, this is a cell phone, right? I want to be able to use it as a phone just like other cell phones. To be honest, I really don't see much value in having a shortcut to bring up the dashboard. It doesn't save me much.

Edit:
Just saw the following. Can't wait to see the new version. Thanks!

Is the control panel applet a extra programm we must start, change the setting and then close it?
Or will it apear in the settings Menu?

Hmm... it could be useful to integreate it in Post #16 or just a shortcut there to reach the control panel. :rolleyes: (just another kind of idea)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

It will appear in the settings menu.


The camera button generates no events when the screen is locked, I guess there's nothing to do about that.

By the way, if someone (with graphics skills) wants to create a nice icon (png 48x48), that would be very welcome :)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

How about other buttons, such as power button or the unlock button? For example, can we slide and hold the unlock button to switch to the phone app?

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

I tryed to contribute this way. But I'm not sure. On black underground it looks nice. But not really self-explanatory and I miss the allegory I would have. On this grey underground it looks ugly, because of that I add a Icon with a black background.

Potentially something to discuss about. Please, don't judge to hard! ;)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

Okay, second try. It's only a suggestion. So at the moment without a transparent layer.

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

Thanks, we're gonna need something that looks decent with any background color though (without the black box) :)

Re: [feedback request]shortcutd
 

No problem. Here you have. :)

I thought I wait for some feedback before I upload more files.
You and hopbeat have to decide. Is this the right direction or is it to ungly or someone could get a wrong idea of the application?

Could you see at this icon the purpose of shortcutd? :confused:
Whats your opinion?

What about a minimized dashboard view without a N900 symbol around? :rolleyes:
