Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

@sakya. I also tested in your newest release: same problem. Good to know you will fix it in the next update. Thanks mate!

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

@sakya: is it possible to flip the direction of the "slide to unlock" widget, or even to rotate it???
for example, if you hold your phone in your left hand often while in portrait mode (and i do) it is more convenient to pull slider from right to left, instead of left to right....
also, even to put slider vertical (what is i think a more convenient than any horizontal position - more "finger friendly") ... and that puts a lot of more possibilities to mod
thx for reading this, this is only my suggestions ;)
great work btw ;)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

I can't read through all the 55 pages of this thread now, so please forgive me if this was already asked (and yes i tried to search)...

For me sometimes, when i press the power button, instead of the qtlockscreen, the original lockscreen comes up, and everything freezes. The only way i can unlock the phone then is to open the keyboard (my unlock key on the side of the phone is broken, so maybe that would work as well, i don't know). Does anybody else have this happen? Is there an easy way to fix?

Thanks.

sakya once told me to try this .

Code:

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen &

instead of killall qtlockscreen and it did work , but i dont know what has happened after updating to the newer versions this problem automatically solved .
like now i use killall qtlockscreen , press the power button , default lock screen appears but after few seconds sakya one's override it and sometimes even if it doesn't i use the default slider to unlock and the next time i press the power button to unlock i see sakya's lock screen .

If you run /usr/bin/qtlockscreen & without killing the current lockscreen you'll end with two lockscreen running, don't do this.

To restart the lockscreen use:

Code:

pkill -HUP qtlockscreen

only if for some reason the lockscreen does not restart automatically execute it manually with

Code:

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen &

@vi_: This is the ram usage on my n900 using the default config:

@Sakya

Qtlockscreen is still not working when using bash as default shell.
Is there something to do to make it work with bash, too?

Is just the autostart script that fails (I think this is the case)?
Does the lockscreen work if executed manually?

Code:

/usr/bin/qtlockscreen &

If so, the problem is just the script

Code:

start on started hildon-desktop



respawn



script

  exec su - user -c "exec /usr/bin/qtlockscreen"

end script

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

Is it possible to have more intermediate battery values. For example Conky shows 76% while the lockscreen is at 70%. Or the values are not correct. Now conky shows 100% while the lockscreen shows 90%. This is a bit misleading.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
