I started an app called Hammerhead Torch yesterday, with a bit of luck I should finish today :) seemed like a neat little project for my first Sailfish app.

Since the file is owned by root:root, it will probably require changing permissions/ownership of that file so that the app can write to it, at least until I can work out how to turn it on the "right way".

Seems like the kind of thing libhybris handles, but I couldn't find any info on how to actually use it. Anyone know how?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

I have never done something like this (and it sounds like the wrong thing to do), but you might be able to add chmod commands to a %post script (don't forget to undo on %postun if it even works) in your rpm spec file to change permissions on installation…

Here is a way you can do it.

I would create a folder called scripts under nemo home directory so you can keep your scripts together. It is not are requirement.

Create a file /home/nemo/scripts/flashlight.sh and copy the following to it.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

FLASHCTL=/sys/class/leds/led\:flash_torch/brightness

FLASHON=`cat $FLASHCTL`



if [ "$FLASHON" == 0 ]

then

   /bin/echo 1 > $FLASHCTL

else

   /bin/echo 0 > $FLASHCTL

fi

Create the icon file /usr/share/applications/flashlight.desktop and copy the following. Icon=flashlight expects a png file in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/86x86/apps/flashlight.png

Code:

[Desktop Entry]

Type=Application

Icon=flashlight

Exec=/home/nemo/scripts/flashlight.sh

Name=Flash Light

The above will create an icon that turns flashlight on and off.

Hope this helps to get you going.

Edit:

Make sure the script is executable.

Code:

chmod 755 /home/nemo/scripts/flashlight.sh

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

@abyzthomas: it works...almost. It doesn't behave like a regular SFOS application, so it's not obvious about how to close it properly. But that's better than nothing. Thanks a lot.

Actually I think I might have been wrong there. nemo belongs to the "system" group, and (on the Jolla phone at least) some of those LED files are owned by system:system.

Code:

nemo ~ $ ls -l /sys/class/leds/led\:rgb_red/            

total 0

-rw-r--r-- 1 system system 4096 Dec 31 00:03 blink_delay_off

-rw-r--r-- 1 system system 4096 Dec 31 00:03 blink_delay_on

-rw-r--r-- 1 system system 4096 Dec 31 00:03 brightness

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root      0 Jan  3 20:04 device -> ../../../pm8xxx-led

-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root   4096 Dec 31 00:03 max_brightness

drwxr-xr-x 2 root   root      0 Jan  3 20:04 power

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root   root      0 Jan  3 20:04 subsystem -> ../../../../../../../class/leds    

-rw-r--r-- 1 root   root   4096 Jan  3 20:04 uevent

What are the permissions/ownership of the files on the N5?
I haven't actually received mine yet!

So I made an app:

http://i.imgur.com/ZytGbjP.png

I don't have a N5 yet so if someone can test for me I'd really appreciate it! RPMs are attached.

EDIT: sauce https://github.com/sam-hobbs/harbour-hammerhead-torch

EDIT: now on openrepos https://openrepos.net/content/feathe...mmerhead-torch

It works fine editing a file in /home/nemo in the emulator, but I can't create the file /sys/class/leds/led:flash_torch/brightness in the emulator which is really annoying!

So I think it will work, but it might not.

Also, can someone explain what the difference between debug and release modes is in the SDK? I thought release mode just removed debugging symbols or something like that, but I get no errors compiling in debug mode and lots in release mode :confused:

:D:D "muh first app"!

Did you have to change any permissions?

Only thing that's bugging me about it is that if you toggle the flashlight from the cover action it won't update the icon when you open the main page and vice versa.

On "traditional" Qt I'd do this with signals and slots but it's taking a while to get my head around Qml and the docs aren't great either compared to normal Qt, which is understandable.

The best I could do for now is to use onStatusChanged on the main page (see here), but that only works when switching between pages within the app (try main page to about and back, and it will refresh); it doesn't work when switching between the cover and the app itself.

Are there any signals for when different pages gain focus or anything like that?

I hope I understood your underlying problem, because I think it should work without listening for focus: You could make a bool property in your LEDControl in the main qml which you can query in all other qml files with something like

Code:

    Image {

        source: ( led.isOnBool ) ? "qrc:///hammerhead-inverted" : "qrc:///hammerhead"

    }

and would not have to set the source/whatever manually on change, just set the bool.

If that works it'll be perfect! Are you sure there's no need to trigger the window to redraw or anything?

It should work. QML has automagical data bindings for most things. :)

Btw, there's a Settings LED plugin in OpenRepos, why not add the support in it instead? Would be easier to use than a separate app.

It worked! I had to add a Q_PROPERTY in the C++ class, with read/write/notify methods. Thanks so much for giving me that hint, it's was just the information I needed.

There's a new version of Hammerhead Torch on openrepos, the cover and icon button should now be synchronised.

I can't find it, can you give me a link? I wanted to make a Sailfish app because I haven't made one before, but I don't have anything against contributing to that too if people would use it.

That's right, it's not really comfortable on the terminal.
Does anyone know if you can run a script from the surface?
Or do we need here is a small app for the Nexus 5?

Can someone post the result of an Jolla Phone from the following line:

Code:

ll /sys/class/leds/

Maybe we can use the existing Flashlight Apps with the N5,
with a corresponding symlink in Fliesystem.

Edit:
oh, I should upgrade my browser page.

WHAT! This is crazy, there absolutely needs to be another way of enabling the backside led!
This application creates a dummy video feed just to enable the led for illuminating purposes, there should be no need to start the camera for it :p

Remember this is still violently alpha quality. But we can now get Internet access working in Android via the fake wifi connection xposed module, flashing gapps work, logging in to your existing google account to gain access to the google play store all work. Yes whatsapp works (but contact sync does not) you can restore your conversation backup and then send messages to those people however.

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

I have to restart the phone from time to time as the touch screen is not responsive. I am not sure if it is caused by enabling LPM (mce-tool) or the bad state of my nexus5.

Has anyone experienced such behaviour?

Re: SailfishOS 2.0 on Nexus 5

Touchscreen freeze happens from time to time on my N5. I'm using my N5 as my only phone for more than 6 months now, and I've got 2/3 freezes.

Regarding orientation, did you try to restart the sensor framework? This could prevent to reboot the whole phone.

Observations!

1. After the screen wakes up for an alert, if I press the power button at some specific moment, right before it goes back to sleep. It usually happens only if I pressing power button to unlock.

2. Sometimes while on phone a call, maybe when remote end hangs up before you? Not sure, but there is a specific event that is causing it here also.

Solution? Just reboot! :):) Still very happy sailing on N5!!! :):):)

Also can confirm that I have had the issue with the phone going to sleep after a phone call has been terminated by the other party.

And I have also had the phone lock in one orientation and not want to switch when tilted.

Rebooting works wonders in all cases. It is good that Sailfish is fast to reboot, as for example BlackBerry 10 takes eons to reboot, both to shut down and to start up.
