Yes, or you can do the following:

dpkg -i ./MyDocs/.documents/tweakr1.deb

Btw, I just released version 0.0.13, you can find it here: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1160

It should also soon be in extras-devel, so you can use the App. Manager.

Its done..
THANKS Siovene

You're welcome

No its not working. I typed it right.


I 've got the version 0.0.12-3. I ll just install the new version right?

Yes, just get the .deb and do "dpkg -i filename.deb". It will overwrite the old installation.

A link has been added to the thread for "Shepherd" (or whatever it ends up being called) that is on its way to a release; this app is aimed at altering settings/profiles based on location, time and other sensors.

Apoc mentioned in an earlier post about a request for:

"GPS based profile switching(believe it was mentioned) "

Perhaps 'shepherd' will be a closer fit to the functionality there, and it sounds like he's making it customisable enough that it wouldn't be hard to make tweakr do something as part of it. So it just depends on tweakr being controllable programmatically. Hence...


Request: tweakr to be able to be controlled by a script, so we can programmatically switch profiles without needing the manual UI effort / distracting the screen (apart from indication of settings changes of course).

(then, any other scheduling thing could do it too, eg. a cron equivalent (for those familiar with linux system daemons)).

This other 'shepherd' app talk thread is at:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=31524

Does that mean it was bricked, or did you manage to fix it somehow?

Thanks to gconf and dbus this be already achieved. Let's pretend the preset you want to activate is called "foobar".

First you need to switch tweakr profile:

Then you could use a quick and dirty bash/perl/python to loop all the settings in the gconf key /system/tweakr/foobar and for each of them use dbus to set them for profiled, e.g.:

Then you need to tell profiled to switch to the General profile (that will then use the tweakr preset):

If you want to do this with C code, you can use the gconfclient APIs and the libprofile APIs (apt-get install libprofile-doc and check in /usr/share/doc/libprofile-doc).

Hope this helps.

I have installed tweakr 0-13.1 from extras-devel and it works as it should but I miss the option to "Snap icons to grid":

Is it not included in this version? I would really like to have some support when arranging icons.

Hi, if that button was ever present for you, it's an odd bug. The button is not there because it won't work until a later Maemo software update will come out. It looks like the folks from maemocentral leaked stuff. Not their fault though, the button will appear immediately without any update to tweakr necessary when the underlying libraries will support the functionaliy that tweakr allows you to tweak.
