[Announce] N900 qtedger (N9 Swipe to N900!)
 

The qtedger is an app that gives the ability to have swipe to n900!

Thanks to elros34 , who made this app, now we have a user friendly interface where we can change the behavior of each swipe and choose if we want it or not to run on startup! Furthermore we can now have different profiles for each app so we can have different behavior on each app :D

For installing the qtedger do the followings:

For thumb download the qtedger-1.2+thumb.deb, copy it on emmc of your n900 and write the following on terminal:
For non-thumb download the qtedger-1.2.deb, copy it on emmc of your n900 and write the following on terminal:

Here is a screen of the ui:

It depends on cssu and on libstdc++6 (>= 4.7.2-0+cssu0)
If you have any problem, be sure that you have installed the cssu and the libstdc++6!
You can see here how to install the cssu and for intsalling the libstdc++6 use this:

Latest and last version.
Now most of the programs may have their own profile.
Close option close all osso-xterm windows and doesn't work on microb instead, better use:

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

it looks promising! I think that I am going to try it right now ;) Maybe with some more work and improvements it is goind to be just perfect :D
(What command do I need to write on terminal and run it? :p)

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

first download, go to MyDocs:
cd MyDocs
unpack it:
tar xvzf edge.tar.gz
then:
cd edge
and run:
./edge_detect

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

wow it really works :D
thanks for this elros34!
it seems to work in portrait mode as well ;)
I am already getting used to it :p

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

It's first version so portrait mode it's not supported (only left side works) but maybe in furture

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

I think that both sides worked for me :p

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900

plz help

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

Worked for me. Keep it up, good job!

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

sudo gainroot
cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/edge/ /usr/bin/
chmod 755 /usr/bin/edge/edge_detect
/usr/bin/edge/edge_detect
I think maybe my problem comes from my screen protector,@zlatokosi you are with screen protector,or not

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

You need to be root for this... Are you root?

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

elros34 I know that this is the first version, but I have some ideas... Is there any way to have different swipe signals to different places? For example, if you are on homescreen and swipe to right it will get you to task manager, and then if you are in the task manager and swipe to right it will get you to menu for example...

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

still didn't work for me
i tried
sudo gainroot
/home/user # cp -r /home/user/MyDocs/downloads/edge/ /usr/bin/
/home/user # chmod 755 /usr/bin/edge/edge_detect
/home/user # /usr/bin/edge/edge_detect
output was-
Maemo applications must be run with the run-standalone.sh script!
QGtkStyle was unable to detect the current GTK+ theme.
on swiping the screen it showed-
swipe to right: 71
swipe to right: 153
swipe to right: 200
swipe to left: -220
swipe to right: 120
swipe to right: 95
swipe to right: 156
swipe to right: 68
any more help...

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

I'm scared that this app will be too heavy to our n900 but it's clever idea :) I've no clue how to detect where am I - in task manager or in app.
Depends: standard qt library and CSSU (I've thumb).
Remember that you CAN'T run this as a root. Do it exactly as I described
ravi_kumar, fourth post.

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

Man,don't think than before i posted my problem,I tried with root and without root,maybe the reason in which hiden success is cssu-thumb2

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

I think CSSU stable it's enough. Try to run script left.sh because it's effect depend on cssu.

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

Well I used these commands:
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/edge
./edge_detect

This means I used root right :p ?
If yes then it worked as well....
As for the portrait mode, I noticed that it works but not that good from both sides...
Is there any way to add up and down swipe as well??

elros34 did you wrote it on your own or it was something that you found and ported it for n900? did you edit the edge_detect file? Because opening it with qt won't help editing it...

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

It's dosen't matter how I to try to run your script,just i haven't any update from community,by the way thanks for good work,when install cssu or cssu-thumb2,or i shoud to try remove my screen protector,maybe finally my descktop it swipeeeeee

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

bill_klpd, you have right I don't even know that dbus works as a root(sudo gainroot didn't work). Give me time, I works on correct portrait mode and up down swipe.

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

disappear,
Program detect swipe but you don't have patched hildon-desktop (from cssu) so scripts doesn't works

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

Yeah don't worry! :p
Take your time, I know that this is not that easy!
I noticed that in portrait mode, it works better in some places on the sreen, such as when you swipe at the end of the screen.
I also use the cssu(unstable), so I think this is what you will need to get it work...

Edit: I used it with sudo gainroot and it didn't work for me as well.

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

Not to bad to editing your first post,about depends,on this way many people not feel confused.
regards

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

elros34 are you editing the edge_detect file as well??

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

It's project from scratch.
New version with support orientation, up down swipe. For now without support commands from scripts.

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

wow that was fast :p
it works much better :D
well I was thinking that if we can find out how to add a back signal(there is no back button, and this is going to be difficult), add some effects and find out how to have different swipe signal in different places, then the n900 will look so much like the n9 :D

Can you make it open the Hildon-Status-Menu at the top edge?

Re: (Announce) N9 Swipe to N900
 

First post updated and title changed!

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

Nice job :) .

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

It's simple. Install xdotool and add "xdotool key BackSpace" to settings.ini. I was thinking about nice swipe effect long time ago you can try it's complete useless: Attachment 32689. I was working on merge lipstick with this but now it's too heavy and buggy.
I can't but you can ask in cssu thread.

New Thumb-2 version. I hope that now there will be no random swipe detection.
In settings.ini there is a mistake it should be "xdotool key ctrl+BackSpace" and /apps/osso/key-actions/ctrl_backspace_in_tasknav 2. It allow to gain this effect.

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

The qtedger works much better I think! Thanks again! Why can't you make it open the Hildon-Status-Menu? Because right now you can only open it on the home screen??

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

Because I don't know how:).

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

Aaa ok :p
I don't know how you are making the app, but I assume that you are making it to run a file with the swipe right?
If yes, what about the file: /home/usr/bin/hildon-status-menu.launch ??

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

When you run this it will create new status-menu and nothing more.

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

Well I am not sure if I understood what you mean...
Did you tried the /home/usr/bin/hildon-status-menu as well?

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

I use something like this to show task/app menu.

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

Ok, I thought you were choosing just a file...

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

you people are just awesome. will check it as soon as my N900 is fully charged.

Re: (Help) N9 Swipe to N900
 

using qtedger, it detects the left swipe but doesn't opens the task manager

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

tried it. its great. 2 steps in first post are a bit wrong. first of all file name is edge_detect not edge (archive name replaced as when erlos34 uploaded it, its name was edge).

correct unpacking command is tar xvzf edge_detect.tar.gz

and one more thing. edge_detect file doesn't extract in its own folder. so cd edge command is no longer needed until anyone repacks the archive to add a folder. only ./edge_detect is needed.

expert/users that know about N900 much knows how to extract it but this may be a problem for noob users.

Thanks everyone for your hardwork. its really cool.

Re: [Announce] N9 Swipe to N900
 

Ok... I will change it when I will be back in my pc, I wrote it a little bit in a hurry!
I hope that we will make our n900 look even more like the n9 :D
