[Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

hey there can someone maybe make a REALLY simpel vuvuzela horn app ?

with a button and the horn sound start... and the option to hold the button so the sound keeps playing...

i know the sound is pissing people off... but come on its the world cup.... :)

Sure.... I'm on my N900 so let me just find my com... BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

Seriously, I'm sure you can find a sound clip on the Internet. mplayer -loop 99999 vuvuzela.mp3

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I completely second that motion. Would be hysterically annoying! :)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I can give it a try... I'm not a real programmer but I've been learning C, C++ and Qt4... And had no idea of which kind of application to make. ^^

I cannot promise anything except that I will try...

A good programmer though will have it done for you by the end of the day!

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

maybe it's possible to import this in moobox ;)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Vuvuzela! Gief!

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Have just added it to Moobox and it works, now time to start annoying the hell out of people!

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

yeah but its too damn hard to get it to play with the accr... and you cant play it on command or is it just me? any tips?

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

An even better idea:
Let the user blow into the N900's microphone and use that to trigger playing the sound. :)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I had originally used a vuvuzela for the tutorial I wrote for pygame and the accelerometer, it played a vuvuzela note when the n900 was tilted back (effect being to mimic as if it was held up to the mouth and the head tilted back..) In the end I replaced it with a hammer (maeHammer), which plays a hammer noise at the bottom of a hammering movement.

In any case, if you download a vuvuzela sound, you can simply use the tutorial to write python code to play it.. either with a keyboard button (use the left button code from the first maeSpaceShip example) or with the accelerometer and change it to read tilts backwards. Copy and paste the code from the thread into notepad, it's a couple of lines of code changes and less than 5 minutes of work.. might be a nice beginner app :)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I would really just like the lightest, simplest programme possible to push the screen and get the sound out loud immediately!

Pls, someone do it quick!

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

We don't need no special app, we have a real computer...
just try this Flash vuvuzela

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

yes this is the way to do it the moobox just dont do it in this case

Why do you have a picture of a cock?

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Yeah, a cock and a pu55y-cat.

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

you dont know what a cock sounds like :rolleyes:

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

lol @ this - we do indeed need an app for it

quick mockup:

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Hehe, great idea. I hacked together a little app in python using pygame.
However, I did not add the soundfile, as I did not know under which license it was released. You can, however, simply convert the file the original poster provided (even on your N900, requires mplayer):

and then putting vuvuzela.wav in a new directory together with the contents of the zip-file i provided.

Have fun! ;)

P.S.: One (among probably many) caveat, though: The soundfile doesn't loop very good. If we find a properly (i.e. CC) licensed one, we can however cut it as we see fit :)

awesome!!!! :d

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

yes , my father hates that noise, so how do i install it ?

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Great work eagle_linux! I installed it and it works flawlessly - touch the screen to play the vuvuzela file, lift your finger to stop playing! :) A great app and with your first post on maemo.org too!

I can't believe nobody has thanked you yet - they ask for a vuvuzela app, you deliver one - what a fickle crowd we have here ;)

Maybe next step is to package it up with a sound file and put it on the repositories! And don't be letting your new found skills go to waste, beginners welcome in the friendly coding comp (link in sig below)

btw If anyone is stuck finding a vuvuzela wav file, I literally used the first result from a google search.

I almost cant wait to get into work tomorrow and have this beauty blaring away all day :D

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I made one that uses the Accelerometer to start & stop de vuzuzela sound... Tilt the phone as if you where blowing the vuvu

the file is hosted here:
http://www.luckies.nl/maemo/maevuvu_0.1.tar.gz


-1. download the tar.gz to your documents folder on the N900
0. Open xterm and become root:
root
1. install python-pygame (if not installed already)
apt-get install python-pygame
2. make a folder in /home/opt with the name vuvu
mkdir /home/opt/vuvu
3. change to the folder
cd /home/opt/vuvu/
4. Unpack the prev. downloaded file
tar -zxvf /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/maevuvu_0.1.tar.gz
5. Copy the .desktop file so you get an icon in the menu
cp Vuvu.desktop /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon/

(sound & picture file licences are unkown)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I think it's more easy if you add a queen beecon widget that plays the file

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Awesome job ny-hardcore! :D

You've got a N900. If you like things easy, you got the wrong phone! lol ;)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I love it!!!!

Tks!

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

haha thanx, but without your tutorial it wouldn't be possible..

do you by any chance know how to package a deb? tried the wiki pages, but don't want to upload it to the repos, just want to make a .deb

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Glad it helped :)

Hmm.. package a deb.. no idea! I had a quick search and found this - http://wiki.maemo.org/Packaging#Packaging_a_.deb - if you haven't seen it yet (I know you've looked in the wikis so you probably have) take a look, maybe it holds some clues.. Keep us posted ).

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

I really, really, REALLY, hate that sound in the world cup games.
Nonetheless, I've got nothing better to do (actually I do, but can't get around to doing them).

Edited the files around a bit, please don't use /home/opt, it'd make it hard to fix broken apps when and if maemo was booted off the eMMC (one could symlink /home/opt to /opt, but you get the point)
Also changed the filenames a bit.

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Thanks for taking the time to create a deb package, do you have time to outline the steps you did to make it? It would be helpful for ny-hardcore and myself, and Im sure others would be interested too.

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

i'm not able to install this when i open this .deb with the program manager... it says it can be nstalled, but then it says, it failes...

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Go to X-term then type sudo gainroot, then type apt-get install python-pygame...

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

heheheh, that was awesome.

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Not sure what MohammadAG did, but...
The main all inclusive Debian Guide for packaging.

But I've been using the instructions In the Py2Deb Wiki for packaging. once you set up your build_myapp.py python packaging takes all of 10 seconds entirely on the device.

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

Awesome Lol... :D Who needs an app when you can have TMO in a worldcup addition. Thank you icuk hahahaha :D

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

After a while i don't even notice it anymore.
Bit OT, but i've been thinking about this alot recently.
IMO It is a very interesting phenomenon mirroring many nihilistic aspects of contemporary life such as the loss of any dynamics like in Brickwall Mastering and Distortion in music, Internet (think "Buzz" or "Forum Noise"), Flashmobs, even the permanent inaudible WLAN and 3G radiation, etc. We are surrounded by noise each and every day and more than ever. Don't know why, but somehow the sound reminds me of the District 9 movie too.

There are even more facets which come to my mind, so my opinion is: Keep blowing those things, because this is exactly where we are today. Looking foward to elaborate on this subject in an extended blog article soon. :)

Re: [Request] Vuvuzela Horn app
 

has anyone been able to find a cleaner sound file ??

maybe one can rip it from the iphone app :)

EDIT:
maybe this one is better then the first file i found.... its more clean but maybe its missing some vuvu feel ?
