Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

when you lock the phone, the first time you need to double tap the power button.

If you then let it go black again, instead of opening it, then further activations can be done with a single tap.

(this is obviously reset back to 2 taps required if you do open the phone)

edit+: except now i always need to double tap it to activate.

Where is the thread. I want to help create Khmer Keyboard :) for the FastSMSeVO

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

this worked for me. when i disable forcerotation, it goes back to requiring only a single button press to unlock.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

is there a place somewhere for people to suggest features for the CSSU?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

find another bug.... (in portrait mode)...
when you want to edit contact, by pressing a contact picture, while in portrait mode, you don't get all fields for input.... just a buttons for "add fields" and "save" and "delete fields button is left out" (but when you press "add field" button, contact app stops to response...)
BUT... while you are in landscape mod, and get to edit contact, you got shown all edit dialogue (as normal)... AND you turn your phone in portrait, than everything is normal (eg there are all fields for input...)

keep the good work ;)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I noticed that when in portrait mode you turn the device another 45 degrees (so upside-down) the device go’s back to landscape-mode. This happens, for example, in the main menu. I think it should stay in portrait.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Yes I noticed this too. I agree it should stay in portrait mode or even turn further toghether with the phone.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i have a big problem after installing this all was fine, i done an update a while ago and edited the transition ini then after turning my phone on 1 day i was in a reboot loop, i thought as last resort i would reflash only to find y usb starting to play up & my computer not recognising the phone so after wiggling the usb around it was starting to pick it u[ untill the usub snapped off the n900 and i am still stuck in reboot loop and obviuosly cannot flash, i have also checked on nokia website & i am out of warrenty so not much chance of nokia helping me? i guess i am now screwed but any sugestions would be good?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Suggest what? Without USB you can't charge. Go to Nokia and get it fixed or sell it for parts and buy another phone.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

i can charge cause i have brought an external battery charger off ebay to charge the battery but now i am stuck in the reboot loop i cannot reflash my n900 cause i have no usb i didnt know if there was possibly any other way to maybe get the n900 in to mass storage mode or some sort of way of getting the phone out of reboot loop without needing the usb, i know its a long shot but i thought its worth a try before getting rid of it!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Not really. N900 can be restored (requires BM to already be there), accessed via USB (needs USB) or network (needs SSH and the like, presinstalled).

Several other recovery techniques are available, all requiring USB.

If you get "rid" of it, send it over. I'll solder my own connections. Or pay Nokia to fix it.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Autobuilder is down atm, but I already submitted package called "cssutransitionstuner" there. Hopefully it will appear there at some point. It's standalone app written in Qt to tune the transitions. It places itself into settings -application under "customization" category where it can be launched.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

after a reflash i have problem with the programm menu...
it doesnt rotate any more... email and all other programms do?!

another small question:

will the gconftool command bring the option to the status menu?
i try this, but nothin happend!

btw. what is disable_phone_gesture... this is also in my hildon-desktop gconf.xml

cheers

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

No, it just stops the menu from rotating - the status menu option isn't in a release version yet, and will just run this command in the background. If you've run this command manually, then that'd explain why your menu has stopped rotating.

EDIT: The disable_phone_gesture setting is the one set by checking/unchecking the "Launch by turning" option in the phone applications "Turning Control" dialogue.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Assuming it works well, isn't overly fiddly (e.g. perhaps has a basic mode (z-axis rotation) and an advanced mode (attack angle, forcerotation, ..)), fits with the default styles of the system and doesn't have any extra large dependencies, it should be included in the CSSU.

Not sure what the approach will be to include an app which is in Extras(-devel), though. Since the enabler is through Extras, as long as cssutransitiontuner is as far up the Extras chain as community-ssu-enabler, it should work.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

thanks man!!! i thought this command will bring a menu, that i can fast switch on / off autorotate, shame on me!!

thanks for helping!!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Upstart 1.0 recently released.

Any chance to have its way into the CSSU?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

The app already pretty much fills those details. Only portait mode ain't working, there I could use some help from devs who knows how to make the UI to scale into new orientation.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Heh. We all know how well that works -- right? :P

Thanks for the link.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Hi guys , first off id like to say thank you again for my new phone! you guys did a wicked amazing job on this cssu!
anyway i thought id add my 2 cents, and tell you all (if you dont know already) that if you have omweather widget on ur desktop ,the desktop rotates too, so now you can have one desktop. that way u can keep it in portrait mode untill u need it in landscape! Brilliant!


And here it is! :D

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I really appreciate the FastSMSEvo work, but It will be possible to have the original T9 keyboard from Nokia added to CSSU? (you know, the one built in phone application). Or the keyboard from VertSMS app, i think is the closest kb to the official one

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I would suggest a no on that. I think it should be a separate downloadable-by-user package. It's perfectly easy to place the same thing into either the CSSU repos or the main repository, and make it dependent on the CSSU metapackage. Same, in my opinion, should be done with the status menu applet that MohammadAG is working on for rotation control. I think both are good ideas, but some users might not want those installed, and unlike other packages/improvements that the CSSU packages, I think this is too far outside the must-be-pushed-through-CSSU realm, and fits just fine in the "could be in the repos without the CSSU" category. Using the CSSU to push intrinsic-to-necessary-packages modifications (like Hildon Desktop modifications/improvements/extras) makes sense, using it to push open source replacements for the closed source blobs makes sense too - but there doesn't seem to be any good reason to put in extra packages on top like the status menu rotation control or a transitions controlling UI within the main CSSU release itself.

(I'm also thinking that, if there are any closed source packages that can be swapped out with open source replacements without depending on the CSSU as a delivery mechanism, those should be packaged separately too - sure, most reasonable people will want to upgrade to the CSSU, especially when it hits non-testing, but they should still have the option to install the open source replacements that don't truly need the CSSU separately.

Just make sure to include a description of what they do, and the users who want/need it will find it easily.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I was wondering if one of the maemodder patches could be added disabling the wifi "enabled,disabled" message when changing wifi connection?

am not sure if this has been asked before?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Hi,

I tried to recreate this to no avail. Are there any special requirements to this? Such as only having that one desktop enabled or something?

Thanks in advance.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Surely if the CSSU now allows users the possiblity of configuring the transitions they should be albe to do so with a built in package rather than then having to go and download the package from repos.

Otherwise I can just see the numerous questions on the CSSU thread when end users download the stable version in due course then asking how they configure the transitions which has been listed on the changelog as being configurable. I personally can not imagine anybody who downloads the CSSU will not want to at least try configuring the transitions to start with, even if they then decide to go back to the stock version (which i would of thought is pretty unlikely anyway from my own experince so far)

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

is it possible to have a drag to drop status menu, i think we had that before pr1.2, instead of clicking the status menu to open it, we drag it down, is it possible to have it ? (like the notification are on android )

Could you raise an enhancement linking to the patch, please?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Nothing special, i just installed omweather and put the widget on the desktop, and discovered but accident the for some reason the widget,i guess, forced the desktop to portrait mode.....just by pure luck , as they say......thats just really weird, it stopped doing all of a sudden! damn!:mad:

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I was only joking!!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Just because you want to change the transitions settings doesn't mean you'll want to do it through a GUI. By the same logic, why not package Theme Customizer in with the CSSU? It lets the users edit their themes comfortably, without digging in to the file system, and without having to edit various CSS/xml/whatever files to change, say, font colors.

Same for apps that let you edit the power menu without editing /etc/systemui/systemui.xml manually, or which let you rearrange stuff in the status menu, etc. So why don't we just cram all of that in there? Because at the end of the day, app space is limited, and people who don't want a package shouldn't be stuck getting it installed and un-installing it every time an update for a larger package they do want comes around. If you don't have it packaged with the CSSU, the users who want a GUI lose very little. I assure you, there will be approximately the same amount of stupid questions on some topic either way. The same users who can't find the "CSSU Transition Settings" or whatever you call it in their list of apps-available-for-install in the app managers will probably come here asking how to edit the transitions even if it's automatically installed to their settings menu. Not all of them, but enough to fill the forums with the same questions over and over.

At the end of the day though, if you have it packaged separately, those who want it are only marginally inconvenienced by having to download one more thing, maybe look a little more closely to the main wiki page to see that you need to download the separate app. But if you have them packaged together, the people who don't want those packages are not just slightly inconvenienced, because they have to manually delete them (which if it's part of the same .deb, would require some manual removal of the relevant files, and if it's a seperate .deb that's brought in during installation as a dependency, would probably result in fiddling with dependency errors or control files, every time an update rolls around). And no matter how far in the minority a group is, if their unnecessary inconvenience is far greater than a majority's really minor inconvenience, it's not really fair to let the minuscule advantage to the majority be addressed at the cost of causing the greater inconvenience to the minority.

P.S. I see themes can (as of a couple of updates ago going by the bug comments I found this out from) include a .../backgrounds/applicationmanager-portrait.png to give HAM a portrait background. That makes me rather happy.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I guess hildon-desktop can only switch to portrait mode if OMWeather widget is on any of the desktops..

Tried rotating hildon-desktop without installing OMWeather & it does not rotate like shown in any of the videos....

Is there another way to rotate hildon-desktop without installing OMWeather?

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

it started working again.... the only other way i know of how to rotate the desktop is holdin down ctrl,blue arrow, shift and press L and it should rotate ur desktop.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Just my view but I would imagine most end users who will download the stable CSSU to get access to the protrait transitions and so will want the GUI, which I cannot see will take up that much memory space?, and once downloaded they wll never delete. Editing the power menu seems a different ball game to me.

However it is clearly down to MAG & Jaffa what they decide they went to do at the end of the day.

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

I tried ur combo and it seems to work but is there any other widget that also forces hildon-desktop to rotate just like the OMWeather widget??

If not then is it possible to make hildon-desktop rotate just like all other screens in a future release of the CSSU??

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Yeah it should be easily doable... but I guess the devs will try to develop something first to rearrange the icons and widgets as like I see it now it just doesn't make much sense if you cant see half of your icons and stuff. This will be the more difficult part of it though... let's see, they did a great job until now!

Re: The in-development Maemo 5 Community SSU
 

Indeed. HAM now includes some bastardised versions of the "alpha" (blue) and "beta" (orange) default themes I did with GIMP :-)

It's damn hard. I've been playing with some algorithms. The prototype changes:

http://bleb.org/software/maemo/View2.png

...into...

http://bleb.org/software/maemo/View2-portrait.png

It tries to keep an approximate relationship of the order of the items, but at least will give a starting point to maintain your own layout where things are roughly in the right place. And, most importantly, visible.
