[ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Hello,

maenotify is a simple app that will show you the latest missed calls/sms on the screen when it is locked,without requiring to unlock it.
As I had pre-announced it some times ago here.

The project page is here : https://garage.maemo.org/projects/maenotify

The latest version (0.3) is on extras-testing now :
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...maenotify/0.3/

Feedbacks are welcome!

Test&Vote ;)


Best Regards,

Hmmm, my lockscreen went black i mange to get it to work once.


Edit: Locking and go to lockscreen immediately shows blackscreen but if you wait a while it shows correctly.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Cool stuff. PR1.2 will contain a "counter" on that screen with the amount of missed calls / unread SMS, but showing the contents (sender+time) on that screen is an improvement over that :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

hey how does this work? i installed and restarted the phone, called myself and hung up. when i checked my lock screen i got no notifications.
note that i am using a wallpaper of my own and not the one that came with the phone

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

The procedure is correct.
If your personal wallpaper is under /usr/share/theme/your_theme/backgrounds/lockslider.png then you will have no problem using maenotify.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Thanks! I wonder how this will conflict with PR 1.2 once it comes out though.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Me too... This is definitely good feature to have.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Very cool.

As you are already updating the image on this screen, any thought to including an option for displaying owner's name and phone number?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

I would like to "+1" that part! :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Very nice. Will test tomorrow :-)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

That can be doable (but if I recall correctly the phone number couldn't be obtained), but , imho, this is out of the "range" of maenotify.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

I installed. Very nice, but half the time I click the top button and see the slider and time on a black background. with no picture or missed call info.

Good work, though. and thanks for doing it.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

nice. I've a qsn though. What if there are like 10 sms from different contacts? u display the latest 5? also curious what happens when the mythical pr1.2 does get released :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

thanx, great job. but if i got more than 10 missed calls or sms? how would it look like?
UPDATE:
sorry, was too excited to read all comments and asked the same question as above =(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

nice application there mate ;) , downloading right now...
open source ftw! keep it coming :D

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Currently it displays only the latest 3 missed calls/sms. I don't know what will happen when the pr1.2 will be released...we will see ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

I officialy love the developer that create this FANTASTIC APPS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Thanks for this release.

Seem to be having an issue with the notification staying persistent even though I've cleared it.

Any hints?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Thanks! In testing, the notifications show the first time I display the lock screen. If I let the screen go off without unlocking the phone, and then reactivate the screen, the lockscreen has no wallpaper or notifications. If I then unlock the screen, and relock it without clearing the notifications, the wallpaper and notifications show again, but only once like before. After clearing the notifications, the lockscreen was black with no wallpaper or notifications. I am on PR1.1 and using d-livil's r-style gray theme. Also, after uninstalling and rebooting, my lockscreen image now permanently shows my previous notifications. I foresee having to restore the original lockscreen image from backup, or reinstalling the theme.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

@hawaii : the missed calls notification is somewhat persistent since there is no way to get informed when you have been checked out the missed calls.

@Grant : the images are preventively backupped but I forget to restore it when you remove the app , will fix it for the next release, sorry for the inconvenience :(

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

it would be cool if you click the missed call to call them back without unlocking the phone. it could act the same as when you get a call when its locked.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Great application!

As mentionned above, the behaviour is sometimes strange (half the time, my theme is gone and the unlock screen's background is black, plus then the notification is not visible), but it delivers.

Another comment is that the notification's time seems to use Universal Time, rather than the local time. (I.e. I received a call at 7h30, but it indicates that the call came in at 11h30.) The call log, as well as Extended Call Log show the right time, as well as Linux' date function.

Thank you for this app.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Useful app!
But: the app is showing time in GMT+0. Independent of timezone settings.

Updated: sorry, didn't read the last post.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Yes I've noticed this error with the time, I'll look how to fix it.
When the screen go to lock, you'll need to wait a few seconds (take as parameter two white blinks led) and then you'll get the background and the notifications as well.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

O no prob, I have backups of the themes I use. Just letting you know how it worked for me. Extras-testing :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Ummm, no ? The screen is locked because it's in my pocket, and I don't want to make any accidental calls.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

can we add battery status ???????

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Yeah, that would be my question, too.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

hi - great app. just what iv been looking for for some time.
is there a way i can change the FONT?

thanks

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

It is a good app for sure, but I use "Device Lock" as I have a lot of sensitive information on my N900 and the sliding lock is of course not a security measure by any means!

So question for the developer - Any chance something like this could be done for the "Device Lock" screen - maybe including even replacing it entirely with a custom one?

Not asking for you to do something like that, just wondering about the *possibility* of it happening, since you may have run into things that may enlighten me on the subject. :)

This does give me hope though...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

@mnaveed : adding an icon for the battery status should be doable, maybe it will appear in the next release ;)

@dbs11 : at the moment is not possible to change the Font style/size. I think I have to make a configuration gui to let users changes it...

@Inacurate : I will dig on it, I don't know at the moment how it could be implemented

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

installed ..
uninstalled ..
notifications still in my master blue theme ..
i need to restore my correct theme .. how?

anyone can share theme files please :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Yes, this is a little bug. I have already a fix for it.

Here is the original blue theme lockslider:

copy it to /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/lockslider.png

I think that if you uninstall the app when you have no notification, you will not have this problem.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

using the above 'lockslider.png' and location: /usr/share/themes/alpha/backgrounds/lockslider.png, i have managed to get the original lockscreen back without the bug :-)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

great application ... !!! i love it... mmm for deleting the list can u make it when the user open missed calls, clear ur list file .. ?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Perfect .. working with me

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Do you have it for Digital Natural theme ??

Thank you in advance

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

can email notification be added? or is that too deep within modest's clutches. i hate that it only shows me the last email, i have to wade thru all the accounts to check them manually

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

@ahmoda: sorry I don't have the original one :(

@jerryfreak: I can see how to add it, I don't have modest configured atm.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] maenotify
 

Thank you very much for your prompt reply

I just got that file right now


Thanks again :)
