Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

@sakya

I have a suggestion :
make a widget to change between silent and general for example slider like in android :)

QtLockscreen is awsome and must be in cssu , and the standard lockscreen should be fully replaced by QtLockscreen :D

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Well, I thought of something like this without the facebook thingie, instead the media player.

And of course somewhere should be the screenUnlocker which demands a password.

I am not into programming, so I can't judge if this can be possible or not.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Thanks
And about another question ? If that possible to change and if yes, where I can change the words: "1 unread messages" to "1 unread SMS" or "1 new sms", I need something short...
Thanks

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

thanks a lot for that wonderful work, just a suggestion :
can you please make the battery commands configurable ?
I want to read capacity and charging status from bq27x00 not bme.

also, is there a way to make the unlock button fill the bottom rectangle?
I tried, and the farthest I got was make it work however the unlock image goes to the bottom left of the screen instead of the center.
manually writing the position, the image goes to the center however the right part of the bottom rectangle only works, while the left part does nothing.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

tried increasing the 'SizeP' value?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

lol
thanks but it solved automatically :p

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

@Sakya, Do you think it would be possible to assign an optional vibration-effect when unlocking after button press?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

@sakya ; how can i add some text on the screen ?
is it possible ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Hi,
where is the standard images-folder? The N900 doesn't display the Lockbutton anymore, eventhough the path is the same (compared to the Media-Widget-Buttons which are displayed).

Thanks, Blck

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

There is no standars images-folder, the images are embedded in the project and thus cannot be addressed, extracted or replaced in a folder. What you can do is to create a new folder wherever you want (I'd recommend /home/user/qtlock/) and there place the images you want to use/replace.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I have a problem with the time not updating on the lockscreen. It shows the time from when I use the lockscreen the first time after a reboot, after that it's just stuck on whatever time it was when I booted, though the desktop and system clock updates as usual. Not even a killall qtlockscreen changes the time displayed..

Edit:
Nevermind, it was the TimeFormat that was wrong, changed HH:MM to hh:mm, now it works fine.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I don't know why, but the screen can't sharing the IM notification...
I tried and tried, but nothing... The only me or this a global problem ?

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Hope some one can help... with the lock screen when it is locked and I view the screen in landscape the image is full screen and fine.. when I rotate the phone to portrait mode the lock screen image is chopped into two haves half why is this? I can not see anyware that I could make any changes to it!

Loz. Help.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

you need a separate desktop for portrait mode of 480x800 px ,

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

1. Sometimes, the media widget doesn't play anything. After a while, it sorta reverts back to the usual unknown artist and song and when you click on it it doesn't play anything. Not even when you get the song playing in the media player, it doesn't update to the latest song. As though it's broken. killall doesn't work. Only reboot solves this issue.

2. The media player doesn't update the songs when the screen dims. Not even when we press the power button to trigger the lockscreen. It is stuck at the last song played before the screen dimmed and it is stuck there. Only by clicking next/previous the song updates in the widget. I think at least the song should update upon clicking on the power button to trigger the lockscreen.

3. The occurence of the broken time/date in post http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=287 where the picture is http://i1197.photobucket.com/albums/...reenshot08.png, it happens often. it automatically fixes itself when the time changes. The dates however, doesn't. I guess it changes the next day when it updates but that'll be too long a wait. killall doesn't help. only rebooting does.

4. I mean, now I've fixed it to portrait mode but that's because I feel that the background image looks VERY broken during rotation and it does hang there for a bout 1-2 seconds before showing the correct oriented background. It's kinda messed up during rotation unlike hildon-desktop which rotates everything nicely and no broken backgrounds. Could it get to work something like that?

Hope this helps.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

agreed with the last point of Dark_Angel85 .
if it can be as smooth as portrait hildon desktop , it would be awesome.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

The media metadata updates fine for me with the latest version.
The IM notification is not working in the package available now. it works with the svn version and will be available in the next release (this is the reason it was not mentioned in the changelog).
The rotation slow is a known problem.

@eefo: no, there's no way to add a free text.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

eefo if Im getting you right what your saying is I need to create a picture with the dimentions 480x480? Well if so I just done this and sent it to the n900 and still the same as my last post. landscape is fine but portrait is chopped into two halves.!!.

Or are you telling me there is another place to put the picture in order for it to work fully.

Could you please explain yourself in more than a one liner as this might clear up a problem that really isnt.

Thanks again

Loz:confused:

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

lol but we have photoshop working :P

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

ammmm , ok check the command if it is matching with the portrait wallpaper you have just made and sent in your n900 ?


like the path to the wallpaper and the name of the wallpaper is the same in the command ?


because if it isn't working then it could be the difference in the name of the wallpaper and the name of the wallpaper in the command.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Oh dear we have crossed wires here! Ok let me explain how Im donig this from scratch and you tell me were Im going wrong.

1) Add a picture 480x480 to my images folder on the n900 via my pc.
2) goto theme customizer open that and goto the drop down menu and select Change Backgrounds.
3) select Locksreen and add photo from my images folder and select set image.
4) Alply settings and reboot.
5) run a test and landscape is fine, portrait is in two halves!.


So Im not sure when you say comand? what comand? were?.
Sorry about this mate.... just trying to get a full understanding of how this app works... as I can never find full flow chat instructions on add apps to the n900 even more so when trying to create something using QBW.... As a newb to linux these things really do help.

Thanks anyway hope you can help further.

Loz:)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

tadaaa :p
found the problem :P


theme customizer only changes landscape background as Theme customizer is programmed to change the landscape background.


to change the the lockscreen backgrounds follow these steps.

1- copy the path of the folder where you have the backgrounds plus there exact name with the format(.png or .jgp)

2- open filebox and go to /home/user/.config/sakya/ here you will see two .ini files ,
ignore the default one and edit the simple one by longpressing on the file , it will pop up a menu and choose edit

scroll down or pres ctrl+f and type path to background
here you will see two commands for the background.
3- now the path you have copied first .
needed to b pasted here with the name at the end.

for example

i have my wallpapers in /home/user/MyDocs/private

and the name of the wallpapers are
lockslider.png and lockslider.p.png

so the commands for the background will be .
for portrait
BackGroundImageP="/home/user/MyDocs/private/lockslider.p.png"


similarly for the landscape

BackGroundImageL="/home/user/MyDocs/private/lockslider.png"


try this and still any problem , ask freely :)


and yeah after making changes in the .ini save the file and the open x-terminal and type
root
killall qtlockscreen

and then check if it works .

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Nice work.
Just a suggestion, a simple text box as a widget would be nice.
For example I would like to a textline above the lock that says:
"Press and hold to unlock"

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

i have made noob instruction thread for QBW , if you are interested feel free to check :)
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=72342

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

i have already asked for this and the answer was in no , so if you want any text , use photoshop to write it on the background

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I'll add a "text widget", it's easy. I just have to find the time to do it... :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

lovely ;)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Just my luck... why wouldn't have the .config.sakya folder? Ive dug into file box and even writing the path doesnt bring up the folder! could it be I need to download qtlockscreen again?

btw... great intructions and yes I will be looking at your QBW thread... these things are much needed for us noobs to linux or we will just drag behind.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

are you sure you are typing it write ?
if you have the lockscreen working then the folder must be there .
try typing it with keyboard open as it types the whole folder needed by just typing the starting words


and thanks for the appreciation :)

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

Well ive tried with the keyboard and with the virtual and still the file or the folder isnt there...well I now have your instructions so Ill take my time and slowly reinput lockscreen in my phone again and start from the top. Thanks eefo for the help... but cant help thinking my mrs has a jail break IPhone4 and the power smoothness and the way the apps install and work.. I cant help but think... maybe just maybe its time!!!!.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

and for the folder thingy.
do it step by step.


remove everything written and it will show / only

now type home then enter it will take you to the home directory , find user folder in there , then find .config folder and then sakya .
like do it manually .

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

@eefo,
it is /home/user/.config/sakya/....

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement
 

I was just gonna say that!!... i tried this just before you wrote it and got the folder open!! at last... now eefo ive made the changes and when i try to save it says file is read only! and willnot save... so what now?:D

Loz.

Re: [Announce] QtLockscreen: highly configurable lockscreen replacement

1- text editor -> leafpad ?
2- enable root access checked ?
