New ASUI and settings test binaries.
  • fix: don't clip last X usage hours to 24
  • fix: restore control panel screen settings on shutdown and battery_empty signals
  • horizontal lines every 10% on battery graph
  • merged the n800_lock_mode and the new softpoweroff_mode into a power_action setting
  • used same alignment for all labels in bottom area of battery graph
  • screenshot button that provides an interface for the screenshot-tool package

asui dt;asui it;asui ds;asui is to download and install both.

Two settings were merged into a new one so if you had changed either you'll need to go to the bottom of settings:button modes and update it.

screenshot button
  • a long press anywhere in the button uses screenshot-tool to take a delayed screenshot
  • the plus and minus buttons increment and decrement the delay
  • run apt-get install screenshot-tool as root to use this feature
  • images are stored in /home/user/MyDocs/.images/ or N8x0/Images
Long press takes screenshot when used anywhere inside the button, which means the delay buttons can't auto-repeat when they are long pressed.

Another ASUI test binary.
  • screenshot button doesn't block ASUI while waiting for delay
  • play sound after screenshot has been taken
  • time_in_state percentages for each cpu clock on governor/dsp dialog
  • changed to short tap instead of long to open governor/dsp dialog

For me, screenshot-tool takes twice as long as the delay value before it snaps. Let me know if this happens for you so I can have ASUI halve the time it passes to screenshot-tool.

New test binary.
  • fix: widget editor page number was in the wrong location for portrait mode
  • button positioning can be changed by the user

Screenshot code was moved out of the ASUI binary and into a script (not included with this test) that is launched by ASUI. So if you want to test the button editor and don't care about screenshots for a day or two...

Rotation buttons can be moved but not to the secondary page. Landscape and portrait also share the same layout.

the irony here is that the battery graph feature may be one of the oldest wishes for the tablets.

@auouymous
A couple of suggestions...
The battery icon shell colour could be used to provide information about the discharge rate (could be defined as battery_left/remaining_time): white=low (6-7 hours with 100% battery), yellow=medium (5-4 hours), orange=high (4-3 hours), red=very high (3-2 hours)
The battery graph just grows and compresses more and more data into the screen, then resets and starts again. Wouldn't be better if it were a moving window of a given (may be configurable) number of hours?
Could it be possible to make power button long press shutdown work with ASUI? Or would it be too complicated?

Changing the shell color makes it harder to see the interior color but I could render one of those discharge colors above/below the battery icon. Will look into it.

It is a moving window and is configurable by number of days 0-7. Events older than the configured time are removed. If ASUI crashes or is restarted it will lose all event data since it isn't saved.

There is only a signal that is sent whenever the power button is touched, short or long. MCE calls a systemui powerkyemenu_open method when the button is short pressed and the TODO page documents the problems I had when trying to convert from the signal to this method call. As far as I know there is no signal or method call when the button is long pressed, MCE handles the shutdown internally. But if you know of a way to read the raw power button events...

BTW, why do you want ASUI to handle shutdown? ASUI does listen for the shutdown signal and switches to its charging UI.

Don't use asui it for this!

Could someone with an n800 download and run the newest test binary (asui dt ; asui k ; asui rt), press and release the power button and tell me the two lines printed in console. Then press ctrl-c in console to kill ASUI and restart it with (asui s).

I had no lines printed in the console when I tried the above.
(test binary size = 179460)

I'll look into it.

I've had a couple of kernel crashes in the events/0 kernel thread. Buttons and keyboard position sensor stopped working except for the power button, which brings ASUI, but I was unable to shutdown because the touchscreen was locked and I couldn't unlock it. So it occurred to me that there may be other circumstances where a power key shutdown could be desirable.
