Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

I know this is abit cocky after you've been so kind and generous with your time allready :) but do you know if there is any movement on the WRC app?

(sorry I'm not as technical as you - I don't understand how easy or hard it is to port forward an application)

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

To be honest, I just go to see what you are talking about, and if I understand correctly, it's not something like F1 live timing.

It look like WRC news feetching application (like RSS Feed reader).

I have just search for source code somewhere, but no source code at all ...

It's better to ask them to provide a port for the N900.

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

on a totaly different note now.. I am trying to make a command line execution widget for this (if its possible)

I wanted to run 2 desktop commands if possible infact.. but I can't figure out how to input the code or if its even possible..

the first was for a command line app live-f1 which logs you into and gives you the stats at http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/
the command for which is just:

live-f1


the second is for a customised kernel:

sudo gainroot
/home/user # /usr/sbin/kernel-load /home/user/MyDocs/kernel.txt

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

Well, for the 1st thing, I'm working on that right now, it already work, but I can't figure out why the Icon is not displayed properly on the desktop of my N900.

Also I need to find a way to launch it in full screen, with the right font size.

Concerning the 2nd thing, it would be better to search this forum for detailed explanation of custom kernel installation and more ...

Anyhow here is a good starting point with these 2 thread I found :

- http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=61887
- http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=64170

I am busy to upgrade my device with pr1.3 update, then working back on 1st thing (don't expect a quick reply) ...

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

are you creating a icon to launch xterminal in full screen? (are you using queen beecon widget to create this button?)

have you had any success in creating an F1 button to launch the http://www.formula1.com/live_timing/ in xterminal in full screen and with the correct font size?

Re: WRC App / Formula 1
 

Ok,

I have created the '.desktop' file to be able to launch the program, I have also prepared an Icon but I'm unable to set this icon for the '.desktop' file :-(

Also I don't know how to specify the full screen & font options when launching xterminal.
