camkeyd should be integrated into maemo?
 

I installed this plugin as soon as it was released, and it's never let me down. All of my buddies who use my phone pick up that the camera button also equals menu button easily, and reckon it's ingenious, but as a strong N900/Maemo supporter i feel pretty miffed when i have to explain that the camkeyd functionality isn't actually in-built, and I can see all of them recoil when i explain that nokia thinks ctrl + backspace is the way to go.

So what does the community think of my proposition? Also, and mayhap more importantly, is Nokia legally able to do this?

Cheers guys, hope you like my idea :D

Edit: tried to make this a poll, but it didn't work for some reason, so when you reply just state if you're for or against my plan!

Camkeyd is not anymore supported. Use shortcutd instead. Proximity sensor can be disabled from settings.

.edit
I do not now remember but there is some cases when it interferes usage, but yeah its sweet app.

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

Nope, shortcutd should be the one integrated. :-)

The developer(s) of camkeyd have joined forces with others, and shortcutd will be the option going forward. Details at http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...2&postcount=14, including differences in function and plans.

topic's fixed*

no way, i wouldnt want it integrated

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

camkeyD is awesome. I totally agree, there should at least be an option i Maemo.

Ps. It made me miss the hardwarekeys on my N810 a LOT less!

so far:

2 for
1 against

also, ignore shortcutd, after quickly testing it, i defs feel camkeyd is much better (i hate prox sensor, and even on "off" it still vibrates on contact!) especially in this context. i had to uninstall camkeyd, and i frankly panicked that i couldn't remember how the hell to exit to the anythings!

Another one for here, an excellent app IMO

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

While I use camkeyd, I would argue that any changes via scripts or programs that I make, is a testament to the device, and not a reason to "feel miffed".

Each modification makes your living kernel more customized to you. Therefore I wouldn't want to change this key on everyone's device, just because it works for me.

How about starting a poll?

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

Bah, tried shortcutd instead of camkeyd, and it broke my accelerometer until reboot. Back to camkeyd.

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

Mine dooesn't. Did you restart shortcutd, per the thread?

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

Why not? Not having it turned on by default, I understand and agree with. But if it was in the Settings as a controllable option, the funtions in shortcutd make a lot of sense. The problems that people have with the vibration feedback and the proximity sensor just indicate proper default settings. Clearly some people (the developers) think that the proximity sensor is a useful way to trigger this behaviour, so it should be available--but not enabled by default.

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

IMO the proximity sensor is no good for anything but blanking out the phone during calls.

The functionality camkeyD provides is perfect and should be default. Makes it much easier to use the device. I wish camkeyD could be extended to register long presses for a quick way to get to the desktop.

Re: camkeyd should be integrated into maemo
 

Why incorporate it as standard when we can easily include it anyway?

Like was said above, camkeyd is no longer being worked on, and the proximity sensor can be turned completely off in the config file (/home/user/.shortcutd/config)
In this case, turned completely off means no vibration whatsoever at any point when covering the proximity sensor.

See the shortcutd thread.
