[Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

Hello,

I made a replacement for the built-in profile control panel and status menu plugin.
This one let you add and manage more than two profiles.
Unlike tweaker these additional profiles are "real" profiles and not only different settings for the general profile.
That means this profiles are handled by the libprofile and profiled-dbus (com.nokia.profiled) just like the silent and general
profile. For example, they can be selected and changed from other applications through dbus-calls.

It is called profilesx and you can find in in extras-devel.
It is in beta state, all planned features are working, but I have
to cleanup the code.
I am not a gtk-programmer, some parts realy took an amount of time.
I struggled with the ui-design to let it look like the built-in profiles ui.
Feel free to laugh about my silly status menu icons :-)
Any improvements are welcome.
As I am not a native english speaker, maybe someone can help me with the program /package
description.

Some notes:

You can not use the power button menu two change between the
profiles if the current profile is not one of the two predefined.

Sound preview doesn't work if the active profile is the silent profile,
don't know how the built-in settings dialog plays the preview.

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

thanks !!!!! testing

thanks
great app!!!!!!

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

nice appl but for me usless until it could cooperate with time scheduling of created profiles.

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

you can already schedule profiles with tweakr and alarmed.. this will work with alarmed and maybe silencer

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

with alrmed I can see only profiles I created with tweakr. would be nice not to have tweakr profiles and "original" profiles and could manage them with alarmed f.e.

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

well ses and silencer dont work with these profiles, so im switching back to the good ol' tweakr and alarmed (which works even with alarmed not fully installed)

and you can only see profiles made by tweakr because theres no other way to make them! and anyway, 2 of the 3 default profiles that show in tweakr are original nokia ones...

Sounds playing in Silent profile (w/out modifying policy file which won't work in this case) require voodoo with PulseAudio and properties... If I figure it out, I'll post something up...

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

not sure what youre getting at but I dont have a use for this app atm as I already have a working setup, being scheduled timed custom profiles with tweakr and alarmed.

but ATM alarmed wont install due to pr1.2 dependency issues.. but even without it installed, my already set timed profile setup works!!

:D

once we get pr1.2 I can install alarmed and this and change my profiles to profilesx ones..

Oh, yeah, baby!

PHP Code:


		
			
#include <gst/gst.h>

  g_timeout_add_seconds (10, (GSourceFunc) g_main_loop_quit, loop);

  g_main_loop_run (loop);



  return 0;

}

This is shitty, shitty code but the things to take care of from here:
* Set the event.id and module-stream-restore.id properties
* Create a "pulsesink"
* Set the "proplist" property of the pulsesink to property list created
* Set the "audio-sink" property of your playbin2 sink to the newly created pulsesink

To all of you that have problem with not being able to schedule profilex's profiles. It is possible with fcron.

@qwerty12
This is great, qwerty12. Any chance you can explain what are
these properties and why do you know this :-)

btw, I just realized the status-menu icons aren't there until
you reboot your device.
I call gtk-update-iconcache in the install script, but it doesn't work.
Is there another way to make new icons visible without reboot?

[group]
name = player
flags = limit_volume, cork_stream
sink = sink.music
source = source.voice.raw

The player group is special because it lets you play sounds in the Silent profile. The Media Player also uses this group (search "mafw-dbus-wrapper" in the policy conf).

The media-stream-restore one? NFI. It's not needed to play sounds in Silent mode as is evidenced by the policy config. I also suspect it's rather useless without pa_ext_stream_restore2_write ()

How did I find out about the playbin2 stuff?

It was libcanberra that introduced me to properties. I found out that hildon_play_system_sound () (http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...y-system-sound) would play sounds in Silent mode. Grabbed the libhildon source and the libcanberra source and looked at libcanberra's set of Maemo patches.

Heh, all that said, it finally came down to: strings, IDA Pro, http://meego.gitorious.org/maemo-mul...ode=sidebyside and /usr/lib/hildon-control-panel/libcpprofiles.so

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6694 is a fun read with me adding some entertainment by getting pissed off at Nokia's lack of communication :)

gtk-update-icon-cache is a NOOP in PR 1.1. I have no possible solutions to your problem but I hear PR 1.2 won't have this problem...

P.S. This [ProfilesX] really is wonderful stuff. Thanks for adding a feature Nokia wouldn't. I consider it to be a sign of laziness on Nokia's part when they add support for multiple profiles to their backend but not their frontend :)

The only problem is that, while being in the Profiles menu, when i browse for a song to select as ring-tone or sms-tone, i discovered that the application can see only .mp3 files. (no .aac , no .mid ,etc..)

Please, can you fix this?
The normal ringtone browser can even see .mid files , even tho they are not supported

i think you mean "with a name made up of two words, with a space between them"... something like "My Profile" or "Profile 1".

What u need to do, i think, is uninstall "tweakr". That solved it for me.

I also have a question: in control pannel, did the ProfileX icon replace the standard profiles icon? Or are they both there?

No answer to this yet.

So is ProfileX profiles changable by DBUS or other CLI commands, so alarmd could change profiles?

New profiles created with profilesx can be used just like
"silent" and "general".

You can (if you know what you do) move
/usr/share/applications/hildon-status-menu/status-area-profiles.desktop
away, for example move it to your MyDocs folder.
Than the built-in profiles button disappears.

No, ProfilesX does not replace the default icon. If you wish to
get rid off it, do the same like above with
/usr/share/applications/hildon-control-panel/cpprofiles.desktop

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

If you want to remove the standard profiles section on the task bar wouldn't it just be better to comment out (or remove) the section of

/etc/hildon-desktop/status-menu.plugins

that starts with

[status-area-applet-profiles.desktop]

there are a total of five lines that would need to be removed/commented out.

You will have to be root to do this.

P.S. Now I am going to try profilesx.

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)

I can create a new profile and save it but I do not see the method for activating it. When I click the task bar and use Profile utility the newly saved profile is not listed. When I access profiles from settings I again do not see the newly saved profile. I've rebooted since saving the new profile, which does show in profilesx.

So, how do I make the new profile the active profile?

There are default values, defined in one of those files in
/etc/profiled/

The user defined settings (or those values which differ from the default) are stored in
/home/user/.profiled/custom.ini

funny :-)

New Version 0.4.

Can now play sound preview while active profile is "silent"

@Foxer: now you should be able to select aac files as well.
AFAIK mid files aren't supported at all.

@saxen: If you still want to :-), you can name your profile
"new profile". Whitespaces in profile names do work now.
Thank you for finding this bug.

For those who do not know, you can customize the statusbar icon for every single profile.
In the profile editor, push the button beneath the "statusbar icon" label. There, you can choose between
leftmost button -> no icon
next filve buttons show some predefined icons
rightmost button with the folder icon (in the previous version,
this looks like a "image not found" icon), lets you select your own icon.

Already thanked you in the first post, but I cannot thank you enough!
This makes other profile tools obsolete.
I used powatools to hide the original profiles icon in the status bar.

I think this was mentioned in the thread; will coming releases have ability to select order of the profiles?

Now I only miss one major thing, and my N900 would be more or less complete:
ability to set ringtones to individual contacts ( or group would do just fine)

Thanx for a GREAT job!

I have the 0.4 version installed but the status icon do not show up in the status area. This probably because I am able to select the icon in the control panel, but the icon settings are not saved. The profiles reverts back to blank icon.

any idea what could be wrong:
