Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

@Win7Mac screenshot doesnt reproduce LPM screen colors well ;)
@tonyhuynh {script:sh /home/user/MyDocs/free_memory.sh}

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

@ tonyhuynh, I didn't try the script myself, but you could try "print" or "printf" instead of "echo" in the last line.
Did you run chmod +x?
Sorry, that's the only things I could think of right now.
@coderus: as far as I know "sh" is not required before path/to/script, only develsh for scripts that need admin rights.

As for Billboard Lite 1.0.0 - it can display {compact date}, {full date}, {battery percent}, {battery bar} (from inserts + presets) and as much free form text as fits the screen.
No colors, text size, font family, text allignment or scripts available.
Just installed it on a virgin N9 I'm gifting to a friend as a birthday present. When he unpacks it tomorrow, it will now welcome him with some congratulations. Nice. :)

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

It works now!Tks! after doing same as your and coderus's guides. Looks like it still not work with .py file. What procedures do I need to do with .py file?

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

^ Also, chmod +x
Which python scripts not working? all?
Some scripts have dependencies, eg
battery_remaining.py needs python-qmsystem
used traffic needs python-gconf
alarm.py and bluetooth.py need python-dbus

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

Hi Win7Mac,

I installed python-gconf and tried to make the used_traffic.py (put in /home/user/scripts) to be exceutable but error: "Operation not permitted"

My command was: chmod +x /home/user/scripts/used_traffic.py

Pls help show me possible error.

Tks!

^ That sounds you did it as root... you need to be user instead.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

You are right! I am remined third time of this! However, BB cannot work with this used_traffic.py while it still works with day_of_year.py. I will try with some other files..

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

Hi Win7Mac,

Some files not work like used_traffic.py (gprs_usage.py) or profilematic_active_rules.py. Do you think it because my device not yet encoded "htf-8". So what can I do?

Tks,

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

Hi, utf-8 encoding doesn't have anything to do with the above python scripts not working. gprs_usage.py doesn't output any special characters and profilematic_active_rules.py encodes everything it outputs to utf-8 (which is what BB expects).

Let's try this from the command line first:

write as user:

Where /path/to is the correct path to the script.

Paste the output here for both scripts and we'll know exactly what is going on.

Re: [Support thread] Billboard Standby Screen
 

Ok, I've been using Billboard 1.0.8 for a coupe of days now and I've found this issues:
*The definitions get lost after a power off/reboot/power saving mode on which is incredible frustrating because I have to set up everything again.
*The events are not updated correctly from calendar, I have several meetings and not all are showed with the events or events-today tags.
*The events appear on the events tag when they are for today so the events-today tag is not working properly.

How can I solve this issues, anyone has an idea?

I've already removed the app and re-installed it.
