FM Transmitter status menu applet that doesn't hide when FMTX is disabled
Long story short, I didn't want the FM Transmitter status menu applet to hide after I disabled it. Unfortunately, it's closed source and I didn't want to have to add another applet just to enable it. Looking at it, it wasn't complicated so even I could write a clone. It's pretty much a 1:1 clone (with the showing of error messages broadcast by fmtxd over D-BUS, usage of Nokia strings for localisation, and everything). IDA Pro FTW.
Only things I did differently was to ensure that the button is always there in the status area and I made sure that all memory was freed... With the FM Transmitter off: http://qwerty12.qole.org/maemo-statu...204-175150.png With it on: http://qwerty12.qole.org/maemo-statu...204-175214.png Download: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...7&postcount=13 Place the .so in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop, being sure to backup the previous one. |
Re: FM Transmitter status menu applet that doesn't hide when FMTX is disabled
This is exactly what I need, but I ran into a problem. Could someone help me out with the following problem:
Attempt 1: I tried to rename the orginal file, but I got "Access denied" Attempt 2: I copied/pasted the original file and wanted to replace the original for the new file, bit also "Access denied". I used GPE File manage. Thanks in advance. |

As a wild guess, you probably need root perms? Try sudo gainroot first (assuming you have rootsh installed, if not get it form the repos).

Thanks for your reply Pigro. I will do some research on gainroot and rootsh (this is all new to me).

Re: FM Transmitter status menu applet that doesn't hide when FMTX is disabled
May I ask for some help of the pro's in this forum?
I have RootSh installed, but I assume that I have to back-up and replace a .so file via X terminal/sudo gainroot . Could someone give me a clue on which commands I need to use in order to back-up and swap a file via XTerminal? Thanks in advance. |

How about a new applet that will always be there but with
the difference that you can start/stop the tm transmitter directly without to wait that the settings app pop up from the bottom screen something like this [FM Transmitter __| \ / ] [Frequency _____ | / \ ] so i can just click on the right side of the applet to quickly turn the transmitter on / off |

To backup:
Code:
cp /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/fmtx_status_menu_item.so /home/user/MyDocs/fmtx_status_menu_item.so.origTo replace it (assuming the file was downloaded to MyDocs/"Nokia N900" Code:
cp /home/user/MyDocs/fmtx_status_menu_item.so /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/Of course you need to do all that (except the backup part) ^ as root |
