Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Has anyone else experienced the their N900 crashing when you disable Wifi while there is a connection active.

For me if the power saving mode (from Connection Setup Advanced settings) is Intermediate or Off (which seems to help with SIP choppiness over Wifi) and I disable the Wifi using Advanced Interface Switcher without first disconnecting, the N900 immediately and brutally crashes.

update! didnt use this app before, I didnt find it very useful. might try the new version......

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Update? As in another version hit the repos recently? Cool. Actually, a couple days ago I was using svn to checkout the code in garage and I noticed that one of the folders had an 'last updated' age of about 5 hours, meaning even if that's not what you meant by "update", the dev was doing something.

I was just starting to get decent enough in C and Python that a C recode by me was a feasible possibility in the near (read, a few months, the way things are going) future, too. (C because that was the original sentiment expressed by the maker forever ago; that it would be ideally better to get it rewritten in C.)

Either way, if the developer is back and active, that will be great.

Also, now that this thread is alive again, I wanted to say, I think I figured out what happens that sometimes causes issues with both Advanced Interface Switcher and Advanced Power (an old bug oft-reported for a while) - for some reason, when installed as the first Python package, the device fails to get things working correctly. A reinstall seems to fix things, though, and if you have anything python-based installed first though, this doesn't seem to ever become an issue.

- Edit -

As of this edit right now the SVN repo has folders with updates 3 hours ago, so that suggests that indeed a few serious additional developments have taken place. Cool.

412b, I assume this is you doing the work on this program again. Спосибо.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

IMHO this app sucks. dont like how it looks or works, and it made my device clunky and unresponsive, even after a reboot. uninstalled it and my device still didnt seem right. reverted to a backup using backupmenu and its now back to its former glorious self.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

i'm a bit confuse by this update regarding it prefrences...
you should add a ok button or a save button after changing each prefrences/setup....prefrences button just make everyone confuse either the setup is save or not....i do like the old version than this update...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Three requests:

1. The current wifi button is bigger in "the wifi connected" icon for some reason. I haven't looked at the code yet, but it looks like the normal image, but stretched wider. Looks a bit worse than it did before (partly because now it's bigger than the other icons, and partly because it's blurry on all the edges now that it's bigger). This seems to have fixed itself now.

2. Portrait mode support would be great in the menus. For months now a portrait-mode supporting status menu has been out, and it's included in CSSU. The previous versions, because they were just buttons, could be used from status menu in both portrait and landscape. Now, if you don't have Forced Rotation enabled in CSSU, the status menu rotates correctly, but pressing Adv Int Switcher buttons flings the UI back into landscape. If you do have Forced Rotation enabled, the pop-up menus appear, but they don't resize vertically or allow for scrolling, so you can't actually get to the buttons for interface switching.

3. Let short press do normal behavior like now, and have long press toggle between, say, on/off, without bringing up the menu (or in the case of telephony, let the settings configure between which possible statuses to toggle). (The current open source FMTX menu applet clones do this for fmtx on/off, as does the button in Simple Brightness Applet, for screen forever-on on/off toggling.)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

I have never had the issues of slowness you claim to have experienced. MAYBE I have so much stuff running (it's really not a lot of stuff, so I doubt that's it) that I don't notice - alternatively you might have so much stuff running that your N900 was pushed into slowness by having extra background processes from this. *Shrug*

But for me speed difference isn't visible at all, if there is any. So it's not just this app, if it is at all. In fact, that you had to restore a backup makes me think something went wrong during install or prior, and that was your slowness source.

As for not liking how it works/looks... Eh. I like it, many others do. If you don't, no one's making you use it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

Yes, I'm back :) Got some n900 almost for free :)

Icons are not pre-cached to save some RAM, as result icons are getting from gtk's icons' cache and first it uses the first available (smallest size, stratched and blured), but then gets full size icons and loads it.

Can you attach some screenshots? I'm not using CSSU at the moment because of lack in stability in modest and having not enough free time to tune a lot.
AIS uses standard dialogs and should be rotated correctly, but unfortunatelly it does not, I'll take a look what can go wrong there.

It's a work in progress :) Next stage in current roadmap, in fact :)
Short/long press to bring up menu/switch and vice versa will be configurable for each type of interface ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

I come bearing screenshots:

Attachment 20463
Attachment 20464

That's how it ends up looking in portrait. (It actually changed a bit with this last version. Before the GSM/3G buttons were also completely invisible too, just as the WLAN buttons are. Bluetooth menu looks like the GSM/3G menu right now (Buttons visible but scrunched into thin almost-lines).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Advanced Interface Switcher
 

0.3.7-5:
- short press for menu
- long press (tap and hold) to toggle interface on/off

Next thing to do is portrait mode :)

And I need some feedback and tests on stock kernel and other kernels (kp47 and bfs). Steps to reproduce:
1. Boot.
2. Turn WLAN off
3. Turn WLAN on
4. Connect to wireless network
5. Turn WLAN off
6. back to step 3

My n900 sometimes gets suddenly rebooted after turning WLAN off (kp47, lv, 250-850)
