MyMenu

[manzn]

hey folks,

the first message: a new update is still in testing and comming soon (maybe tomorrow)

the second message: after the good response for this (beginning simple) project we decided to rewrite this tool in a "real" programming language.
At the moment we read day&night in the manuals for the SDK.

Our featuremap will depend on your input given and we build a roadmap for the new major release soon.
We hope your ideas for a menu-designing-application will not stop at this time where the "first shoot" is build.

At the moment we decied following features:
* create your own category and menupositions
* create stackable submenus
* order your apps in your own category
* use of own icons
* use of build in categories from .directory (if reasonable)
* reorder the icons in the menues (if possible)

our greatest problem: find the right and future stable programming environment
in the last days we checkt C & GTK+
depending on the choice from NOKIA to support QT in the future development
we are not sure if it is better to build (new) applications in C++ & QT

WHATS YOUR STATMENT?

(And yes: we read the development talk)

Time to help? Time to share your expirience?
Please contacta me under my garage account or a PN on maemo.org

[Jaffa]

can't wait to have it :D
please leave a comment here when it's available, thx! ;)

Catorise v0.0.1 is now in Extras-devel:

http://maemo.org/packages/view/catorise/

More info available in its release announcement:

http://www.maemopeople.org/index.php/jaffa/2010/01/12/catorise_auto_organise_n900_applications

EDIT: it can be discussed in this separate thread (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40265)

[qole]

Oh, the IRONY!


Is anyone actually working on the "show the categories and apps within them based off the category information in the package"?
Scratch that, I am:
Hardcoding apps to categories is so godawfully ugly from an architectural point of view, and can hardly scale once Ovi goes online.Indeed.

I'll fully credit manzn as the inspiration and hope to get a package in extras-devel today.

Applications installed from Ovi will go into the "Other" section, due to the way Ovi on Maemo has been designed. I've some thoughts on how to work around this, though.

I wonder what your solution to the "godawfully ugly" problem of Ovi apps being uncategorised? And how will it scale?

Well, now that there's two of you doing the same thing in two projects, it should be interesting to see what happens.

I guess competition isn't always a bad thing.... Although I much prefer collaboration.

[zehjotkah]

installed catorise, works perfctly, but its not everything where it should be.
games from ovi store under more...
garnetVM is only under all.
installed by apt-get install catorise. because it didn't showed up in program manager but i thought that it could be online yet...
and it does not use the icons from digital nature...

[Matan]

I suggest that all such programs have an option to limit pages to 15 icons (creating sub-folders if needed, so that scrolling becomes unnecessary.

[zehjotkah]

sorry, did not read your site..

[Jaffa]

I wonder what your solution to the "godawfully ugly" problem of Ovi apps being uncategorised? And how will it scale?

Well, you'll have to wait and see, unless you want to be bored with technical details. However, I'm suspecting you weren't looking for the technical details, rather the opportunity to make a jibe.

I stand by the assertion that an architecture of hardcoding a mapping of all possible applications to sections doesn't scale. Since we could only get a proper look at how Ovi is using dpkg, apt and repositories in the last day or so, it requires a more ingenious technical solution. Of which about 3 are immediately obvious; it just depends which is the most efficient to develop & deploy.

Well, now that there's two of you doing the same thing in two projects, it should be interesting to see what happens.

Manfred seems to be concentrating on letting you structure the menu however you want using whatever icons you want. That's not what I wanted. YMMV.

I guess competition isn't always a bad thing.... Although I much prefer collaboration.

Who doesn't? However, manzn wants to go in a different direction and that's fine. Since I'd written the code earlier in the thread to assist MyMenu it seemed a shame not to use it.

[zehjotkah]

deleting a program does not update the icons to the digital nature theme...

[NvyUs]

should we make a new thread for catorise ?
people will get confused discussing 2 app in one thread reporting problems etc for the wrong app.

Yes, that certainly sounds like me! :D

i'm not trying this as long as the rebooting-of-death exists :P

please tell us when this is fixed^^

it's in extras development - but still has issues :(

[rmarcus]

it's in extras development - but still has issues :(

OK...although it was working perfectly for me I uninstalled because of the firmware update...just in case...but I can't find it there.
Is there a command through x-term to install it?

:confused:

[Meelis]

The new Firmware mixed the order up.

Now the folders are alphabeticaly first and then the apps.

Ou well will tweak it a bit

[zehjotkah]

@manzn can I help you in any way?

[rmarcus]

So...what is the command to install it through X-term?
thanx

[zehjotkah]

install rootsh through program manager
then

root
dpkg -i packagename.deb

[manzn]

hello @ all

sorry for my absence - i read much documentation for "How to build a debian package" because i have no plan of this :-D

yeah i know - it seam like nokia build a layout part in the hildon-desktop
at the moment i work on a workaround for this

the main bug for "loop of death" is fixed

[qole]

manzn: Did jeremiah help you?

[manzn]

@qole i wrote him a mail today again :-(

[rmarcus]

install rootsh through program manager
then

root
dpkg -i packagename.deb

It says it cannot find the file...where do I download it from?:confused:

[zehjotkah]

from site six of this thread..

[Meelis]

Same here, try to read some of the previous posts.

Tho manzn could also put some of the basics to the first page ;)

other possibility is apt-get, checked it is up there

apt-get install mymenu

[geneven]

The two apps confused the heck out of me. I prefer the mymenu approach.

Hi, everyone,

The PR1.1 update changed a little how menus are read, now it uses the freedesktop.org spec (http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-latest.html) as much as possible.

Now hildon-desktop looks for a hildon.menu file not only in the system directory (/etc/xdg/menus), but also in the user's configuration directory (/home/user/.config/menu). The menu in the latter overrides the system, so it's a lot better to make personal changes there instead of modifying the one in /etc. The override is done using a <MergeFile> directive, so it's important to keep that one in or h-d won't be able to find the desktop files.

H-d also follows the spec regarding the order of applications. Everything that's not set in a <Layout> section will be put at the end in alphabetical order. You can look at the new system hildon.menu to see how ordering is done now.

The default user hildon.menu also tells h-d to look first in the user's local data directory for desktop files. That makes any desktop file put in /home/user/.local/share/applications/hildon override the system's desktop file for that app. This could be used, for example, to add Categories to desktop files that don't have it or to change an application's icon.

I hope these changes make it a lot easier to customize the launcher as much as you want. Don't hesitate to contact me for more info, or to ask in maemo-devs; and sorry for the delay in communicating all this.

[Rob1n]

Now hildon-desktop looks for a hildon.menu file not only in the system directory (/etc/xdg/menus), but also in the user's configuration directory (/home/user/.config/menu).

Just a note to say that this is also a lovely new way to brick your phone :mad:. Issues with the menu system can cause a reboot loop, requiring a reflash of both firmware and eMMC (as the local menu changes are on the eMMC).

Oh, yes, thanks for pointing that out. Although we've tried to minimize the effect errors in the menu files have on h-d, you should be careful when editing them.

Simple editing errors (I've made more than a few myself) will just get you an empty menu, which can be solved by deleting the /home/user/.config/menus directory. To get an xterm from the desktop without the launcher, use the convinient Ctrl+Shift+X. If you restart h-d and that dir isn't present, h-d will re-create it with the default hildon.menu file.

[manzn]

[amorek13]

thanks you are the best

[nicorumiz]

@manzn

I'm kind of a noob of Linux and N900...

Id I add this rep

My Maemo 5 (Fremantle) Repository:

Catalogue Name: Qole
Web address: http://qole.org/repository
Distribution: maemo
Components: fremantle

Will I find the last updated mymenu application?

If not I think I can do it trough the Terminal....Where should I save the package on the device?

Thanks

[manzn]

@nicorumiz

i wrote qole this moment a pn - when you can wait it will maybe tomorrow on qole's rep

for Terminal install follow this:


1) you need rootsh -> pls install

2) dowload follow deb: http://maemo.3ion.at/mymenu-0.4.4_armel.deb
3) start xterm
4) sudo gainroot
5) change to the directory where you download it (with cd /home/user/.....)
6) install with this command:
dpkg -i mymenu-0.4.4_armel.deb


for uninstall insert this command:
dpkg -r mymenu

[nicorumiz]

@manzn

Thanks...

I saved the package in /home/user/MyDocs but in the terminal I was in /home/user


Installation completed with no errors, work great!

Thanks!

[DaSilva]

Can't you release it to extras now that you have created a working .deb file (which is great!)?

[qole]

MyMenu is in my repo (there already for several hours, before manzn sent me a message) but I noticed that when all the maemo repositories are dead, my repo won't refresh either... A bug in the Application Manager...

[Dosenblech]

@manzn
i just updated the app.
everything works fine!
good job - thnx :-)

[vyper1]

@Manzn
Thanks for your app and it installed without a glitch:) My only question is and forgive me for being a noob but how do I get the apps from the Ovi store to go in the correct categories? So Angry Birds is under games etc etc.
Thanks

[b666m]

can anybody please post some screenshots of this app? ;)
how the menus / icons look like etc :)

[casper27]

This is the menu once its active. Alot beter than the original.:)

[Meelis]

works good. After instaling had to reboot, but other than that looks very good.

[amorek13]

it was addressed few posts back i believe he is working on it should see an update shortly

[amorek13]

it a good think you said something my angry birds are completlly missing after menu install

[casper27]

Press the update menu button in system. This now updates and has put all apps in right place including Angry birds ect from ovi store.

[vyper1]

it was addressed few posts back i believe he is working on it should see an update shortly

sorry amorek that was supposed to be 'without a glitch' i've edited original post.

[manzn]

Hy erverybody,

Apps Update is online (i hope, i have all offscr apps in it)

I hope that the extra repo is soon aviable, then i upload this version up to the repo :-D

nice day
Manzn

[Meelis]

After doing the "update-menu", it through up a recorder window what I could not get rid off, the mobile itself on the background was working, could click on the Status bar, after restart was fine and the update went without errors.

[paai]

Great application! Installed as per specs, and runs fine. Should be standard on the N900!


Paai

[amorek13]

manzn thanks again can you move speedy to network please thanks

[manzn]

Hy all,

new update for the Apps:

Office:
Abiword

Other:
Countdown Timer

Games:
Evil Plumber

Network:
Speedy

System
Powatool
System Event Scheduler
Glogarchive
File Transfers

[nicorumiz]

In order to update the App should i remove the old one before or just do dpkg -i and will overwrite all the files?

Thanks

[manzn]

@nicorumiz

not this is only for the apps the update, not for the app as itself - you can find the update-button under system

[zehjotkah]

can we replace the icons with the ones from the program manager?
i like those more, but i don't like catorise so much...
and i think that defining in which category the programs will go, will be only possible with mymenu.

[Soulfarmer]

Hmm, I didn't get this installed. 0.4.4 version didn't go thru.

Edit: removed it via app-manager and tried again with xterm dpkg and it went fine. Now I just have to see whether I like it or not :)
Thanks anyway for the dev(s)!!

[amorek13]

manzn can you move currency convert to education what you think?

[manzn]

@zehjotkah at the moment the iconset is freezed - we work on a new version, where you choose which iconset you want to have

@soulfarmer - go to your app-manager - refresh and install mymenu from the extra repository

@amorek13 as soon as possible :-D

PS: MyMenu in now in Extra-Repository available

[Soulfarmer]

@soulfarmer - go to your app-manager - refresh and install mymenu from the extra repository


I got it to work just by removing it and reinstalling from xterm. Guess I was bit too hasty, but worked nevertheless. :)

[tom_at_lp]

SENSATIONAL - from a simple Script the hole process to an APP - congratulation ....

[manzn]

@amorek13 done - is on the server :-D

[Meelis]

Like I have said already before, good work. The best mod available!

Some directory changes maybe?:
Maep - from Networking to Navigation?
Mancala - from Other to Games
Sketch - from Office to Graphics?

For me they would seem more logical like this but thats me.

[peterk1]

@manzn
in extras oder extras-devel?

[manzn]

@Meelis thx for the input - i'll correct it

@peterk1 Extras-devel

[manzn]

@Meelis done

@all if there any apps what you are missing pls report here or mail to maemo@3ion.at

thx manzn

[aniMAL_]

manzn - Is MyMenu on Extra-devel or Maemo Repository yet? I only ask as I haven't seen it?

If not, is it still a manual install process?

EDIT: Got it now ;)

[manzn]

@aniMAL_ Extra-devel - you will find it under the Section Desktop

[noobmonkey]

Hehe it is a fine line on these forums :) - i find after 10 posts in a day i do start to get a bit "Search, SEARCH SEARCH GOD DA.M.N.." hehehe, so it's nice to get away and see some decent applications.

Really is a good idea :) - more then happy to help provide common phrases or lines of English for bits if needed :)

at the moment there are 317 apps in MyMenu :-D

[Caesar]

is there any way to have the internet shortcut in the main menu instead of network? or will it be possible in an upcoming version to put it there, since i have no development application, which leads me to a free space, where internet would be perfect;)
thanks for both an answer and for mymenu in general, very amazing app

[ddwalker]

Is there a way to move an application to a different category? Can I just edit /home/opt/menu-update/category?
Thanks,

no not at the moment :-(

the category file will be replaced every update

[Bratag]

Not sure why - but the last two times I have tried it the update process just keeps running forever. Seems to perform the first part of getting rid of the custom file - but doesnt get a new one.

[ddwalker]

no not at the moment :-(

the category file will be replaced every update

Is this going to be added in later versions?

[Jaffa]

You can move things using Catorise (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=40265) by editing /opt/catorise/menu and it won't get overridden. However, the list of categories (http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Developer_Guide/Packaging%2C_Deploying_and_Distributing#Sections) is fixed.

Yes, I tried catorise as well. One thing I need from it is to be able to move an applications, such as phone app, to the top level. And I like the icons in catorise better.

[Crom]

This app looks nice, but i can,t install it..
It starts to install and the screen flaches two times under the installation prosess and then the message "Can't install Mymenu" displays, only in Norwegian.
Is it because i have norvegian setup on my phone?

[b666m]

any detailed error/problem message?

[Crom]

No, only the yelow line over the screen who usualy says 1 program installed sucsessfully or something like that.

Hi!

This is my first post in the forum. I've been watching this forum for a couple of months, waiting for N900 to become available and seeing the development of some good apps among a creative and supportive community.

Now the proud owner of an N900 and have happily tweaked it to my needs, unfortunately i've managed to break the Menu.. I installed MyMenu yesterday and was happy with the way it had organised the icons, things went a bit wrong when I tried update-menu. The screen froze up and I forced an reset.

At this moment, the menu has reverted to normal - except the 'More...' icon is missing. This means I cannot access Application Manager or X-Terminal. All applications are inaccessable except for the native apps, shortcuts to Application Manager or X-Terminal do not work.

Think I need to re-flash this or is there a quick way to resolve this?
Either way, I would really appreciate a step by step process to help repair it.

Thank you, J

As a first step, you could try pressing Ctrl-Shift-X, this will open an xterm. From there you can try to get the original menu back, or get MyMenu into shape.

[[DarkGUNMAN]]

Thank you for the prompt reply, it gives me some hope that i can repair this. Now that I have a command prompt, what do i need to enter to access Application Manager? Failing that which commands do i need to enter to download and install MyMenu again?

"exec hildon-application-manager" works here.

[[DarkGUNMAN]]

Thank you Rob1n. Managed to download MyMenu again, all apps are working fine again. your help is very much appreciated!

Goes to show how supportive this community can be.

[kazuki]

this is the menu nokia should have given us. this app is great. the only thing missing from this app is the ability to move apps around to different folders and creating/deleting folders in the menu.

[christexaport]

Is there a guide for this app? Is there a GUI? I installed it, but it doesn't show up in my menu at all...

[jahberre]

I've installed mymenu, any program on my desktop works, in main menu doesn't appear the option of other programs, what happened?

[plaban]

Please change the default icons.I don't like these.Please replace these icons with some more prettier icons[may be with some 3d effects].

[christexaport]

I reinstalled and it works now. Is there any configurability of this app other than refreshing the desktop? And when are more customizations available? Next update?

Sorry if I'm asking a repeated question, but the two similar apps gave me confusion, so I'm asking only about MyMenu.

[[DarkGUNMAN]]

i have found that my applications will no longer function if i don't have MyMenu installed. When it is uninstalled or there is a problem with the Menu Update, only the basic system icons are visible. The 'Other' icon is missing and all desktop shortcuts stop working.

I'm guessing that i need a fresh copy of the hildon.menu file to repair this.. could anyone post a copy so i can test?

[luigi]

;508112']could anyone post a copy so i can test?

Please find it attached. Could you, in turn, give me a .tgz of your /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/User Guides. I accidently lost a part of it :D.

[[DarkGUNMAN]]

Upload limit is about 500k and the zip of User Guides is 5.2mb. Which parts are you missing?

[luigi]

If you could provide me with a zip of the directory User Guides/.css, that would be fine. It now defaults to a style sheet that is more difficult to navigate. Thanx.

not at the moment but i believe they are working on it manzn correct me if i am wrong

no not at the moment - harder than we thought to build MyMenu on C++.

A big thx to tom_at_lp for his big help - he works hard on MyMenu to build all your/my wishes :-D

[amorek13]

i am also getting an error mp-fremantle-generic-pr(2.2009.51.1)

[sorodoros]

Problem tab in details indicates this.

[Wichall]

Using the current firmware but also get this error, doesn't make sense...

[Moolan]

Using the current firmware but also get this error, doesn't make sense...

Same here:(:confused:

[Diko]

Great app indeed.

[bluewizard]

i am also getting an error mp-fremantle-generic-pr(2.2009.51.1)

Same Error. I have the current firmware. Any ideas?

[rolan900d]

No problem on my end...
But I need more map options.
My system folder is floaded.
Would like to see communication, Games 1 and games 2, Editors and explorers.

Also the De-lite needs to be in games...

[evangelion1979]

hi
I have a problem with a mp-fremantle-generic-pr(>=2.2009.51.1).

somebody with a little help

[daniel diplay]

I have the current firmware on my N900 and the mymenu upgrade always says that my firmware is not upgrated... what can I do?

[late666]

Yeah, any solution for that?
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it won't let me reinstall for the same reasons..
I miss my mymenu...

[HtheB]

Is it possible to add Turkish language for MyMenu if the phone is set to Turkish?

[Wichall]

I think this is a dead project :(

[sorodoros]

Has anyone PM'd the developer?

[Kamikaze]

Does anyone have the icons used in MyMenu please? In particular I want the die icon for Games.

Thanks

[squirreluk]

Hi, some of the apps appear is seperate categories and in the others category, is there anyway to remove them from others?

[amorek13]

manzn you ok?

[manzn]

Hy folks,

I must apologize for my absence - had much to do.

But now I'm back and the same with a new apps update:-D
About 60 new apps have been categorized.

Because of the update problem, I hope to have the solution soon.

thank you for all
manzn

[rolan900d]

Looking forward to it!
Also to some more folder options..
In some folders like system I have more than 30 apps

[felbutss]

could this be made as a control panel app??? so we can customize ourselves????

[anapospastos]

tnx mazn

We re expecting this update.. with greek language available and many apps categorized right:)

[late666]

I'm still unable to install it..
Is there any way to fix it?

[Caesar]

any news for the update, manzn?=)

[late666]

Is there any way to force install it? It worked fine even after the firmware update, the only problem was it couldn't update the app itself, but I don't mind that, I really want this app back..

[munkiii]

Is it anyway possible for me (and other UK users i suspect) to install on older version of MyMenu that works with PR1.1 ?

UK unbranded (non-vodafone) N900's still haven't had the PR1.1.1 update so now (after a reflash) i cannot install MyMenu anymore.

Is it possible for the creator, or anybody who has access to them, to post up here an older version for us PR1.1 users to install?

[rolan900d]

Here are the older versions...
Pick the ones you like:

http://www.linuxprofi.at/images/stories/n900/categorieeditor.png

http://www.linuxprofi.at/images/stories/n900/Eintrag%20%C3%A4ndern.png

In this future version of mymenu, it will be possible to change every icon of mymenu and of every programm :-D

and it will be possible to change apps to an other category

ps: @plaban have you better icons (must be free!!!) pls send to maemo@3ion.at

[anapospastos]

Below each category it will says how many items exist? for example--> science - items 15

Looks great...
When will you release this baby?

[manzn]

@rolan900d

....hmmm..... such soon as possible - at the moment tom_at_lp is working on this code - release date i don't know - if he says it is ready :-D

@anapospastos

at the moment there are over 400 apps in MyMenu categorized

sciene&learn - 15
office - 36
multimedia - 40
programming - 5
games - 113
graphics - 5
network - 79
system - 66
location - 13
other - 56

[anapospastos]

I mean if each category will show how many apps exist in it. If I have 13 apps in network it will say "network - 16 items"?

[YoDude]

hey dude...



ps: @plaban have you better icons (must be free!!!) pls send to maemo@3ion.at

I have used icons in the past from the Crystal Project (http://everaldo.com/crystal/) and they render very well on the N900

http://i8.tinypic.com/5x7ge3k.jpg

It's a pleasure to say that, after long months waiting, the new version of the Crystal icon set is available for the public.
The Icons were already finalized about six months ago. In fact, it was necessary to bend the time, almost like the mythological battle between Zeus and Kronos, so then I could finally finish the the website redesign and launch the new set of icons.
Uncountable hours of work and some nights without sleeping were dedicated to this project. I hope you guys enjoy the final result.

It's always a pleasure to serve you

Yeah, can't find version 5-2 as well.

[rolan900d]

late666....

what is that guy (avatar) telling you?
:D

[PipoXtreme]

for onedotzero there is no app icon available ?! can you implement this as well..;)

[late666]

late666....

what is that guy (avatar) telling you?
:D

He's pretending to lick me ear.

[nicorumiz]

@manzn

there is a file that we can edit in order to create more categories or move programs from one category to another one?

For example, I would like to have all my easy debian programs inside one folder in the mainmenu (for ex. a folder with a name Easy Debian) because right now they are under system,utility and Internet.

Thanks

Nico


[Edit} never mind...I just found out about the new version that you are going to do (previous page). If you can add the possibility to add category will be great!

[anapospastos]

Any news manzn??

[manzn]

Hey everybody,

NEWS: new Apps Update is online :-D

(incl. Sygic Mobile Maps 9)

Happy Easter!

[rolan900d]

Great news....

Will check this one out!

[HtheB]

Hey everybody,

NEWS: new Apps Update is online :-D

(incl. Sygic Mobile Maps 9)

Happy Easter!
A lot of apps are still not moved to the right section...

Like a couple games:
PicoDrive, Teeworlds, PSX4ALL, Brain Party, FortuneTeller, TecnoballZ

Office app:
OpenOffice

Network app:
JoikuSpot

Multimedia app:
msid


Will these be in the correct sections either? :P

oh yeah, 1 more request:
Can you add a new icon (a Debian icon) for the LXDE apps!?

this will be very usefull, since the System section is full of the debian stuff. It will be very nice to have a "Debian" section with all the Debian apps in it.

[rmarcus]

Guys...I can't find this new version, only the 0.4.5-1.

Any thoughts?

[HtheB]

Guys...I can't find this new version, only the 0.4.5-1.

Any thoughts?

You just need to open the "update- menu" app. It's in the System section.

[rmarcus]

You just need to open the "update- menu" app. It's in the System section.

Thanx buddy, but the thing is...I don't have it installed, and the version on the application manager does not install.

now what?

:D

[HtheB]

Thanx buddy, but the thing is...I don't have it installed, and the version on the application manager does not install.

What kind of error does it give?

What kind of error does it give?

Unable to install 'mymenu'. some application packages required for the installation are missing.

:confused:

thanx

[anapospastos]

Here in the repo (http://maemo.org/packages/view/mymenu/) there is no new version available. Any1 managed to install?

[rolan900d]

No....
I think I will stick with Catorise!
More folder options and placement of apps makes more sense that way

[HtheB]

ok...
mp-fremantle-generic-pr (>=2.2009.51-1)

thanx
you need to upgrade your firmware! :)

[giecsar]

you need to upgrade your firmware! :)

It's not about the firmware. I have it updated but mymenu won't install anyway. The error I get is "Package mp-fremantle-generic-pr is not available, but is referred to by another package, This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source".

What now??? :(

[Weedalot]

any news on this one?

[StocChr]

can't install my menu due missing packages, any help?

libqt4 ( =4.5.3 )
libhildon1 ( =2.2.3-1 )

( i already have libqt 4.6 )

cheers

[Jezz]

Any news on getting this sorted? Cant install anymore, even with pr 1.2 :( really need it now all apps are on 1 page!

[StocChr]

mymenu works fine with the new PR1.2
thanx manfred

[Wichall]

mymenu works fine with the new PR1.2
thanx manfred
Does the moving icons around thing work with mymenu?

[StocChr]

no, i can't find a way to move them

[Soulfarmer]

After PR1.2 update I tried to do update-mymenu from the icon... the process didn't go thru correctly and after that I lost all but the most basic icons from app menu. Can't launch terminal even from desktop shortcut. Of course I forgot to set new passwd for root so that I can't even SSH in and try something thru there.
Any ideas how to either rerun mymenu-update or remove it?

EDIT: I had totally forgot keyboard-shortcut, managed to launch terminal from that and then apt-get remove mymenu and apt-get install mymenu and problem was solved. Wheeh, was about to flash my n900 just cuz of this little problem...

[romiiio]

hi der im running the new pr1.2 i installed my menu but wanted to go bak to normal showin all apps again so wen i uninstalled mymenu all my apps in main menu r scattered around i tried to rearrange but wen i press done it stays the same. pls help

[madrista]

same problem here, flashing the only way?

[nonotzkrov]

Its simple.. dload other apps with the same utility.. like colorise.. search here in desktop section with the ur N900 n install.. simple is that...

[madrista]

colorise? your speaking of catorise ? and thats install after failure with my menu but my menu still wont install.

[nonotzkrov]

Yes Im sorry.. i wasnt check what i wrote.. u right catorise.. maybe u can delete file in mydoc called mymenu i use PC suite to delete it.. then install via web from ur N900... its worked in my mobile

[nonotzkrov]

let me write it step by step.. i hope this will help...
when u download the catorise in apps manager u can 1st uninstall mymenu.. then continue to dload n install catorise.. then u will see all icon that have been lost... if u prefer my menu then uninstall catorise.. n reinstall mymenu..

[romiiio]

hi the problem i have is i see all my apps but i cant rearrange them in a order i want them. even after uninstalling mymenu app and even after installing catorise and even after uninstalling both! wen i go to jus normal menu in my n900 without catorise or mymenu i still cant rearrange the apps it goes into rearrange mode i can move apps around but wen i press done nothing happens! this way all important apps like contacts, phone, conversation, web, etc are rite at the bottom n i have to scroll all the way down wach time which im not happy abt as i was able to do this afer pr1.2 update but after i installed and uninstalled mymenu i cant rearrange anymore. so pls help me!

[madrista]

ok the best thing to do is flash your phone. First you make a backup, then you flash your phone. After the flash run the backup and it will ask you if to replace files you hit NO and go right to the end. Restart your phone if it doesnt automatically and everything will be fine. If there is My Menu or Catorise in the app manager dont install it as yet install it after.

Dead project.

[Dr.MZ]

MyMenu what happens to still or is this project dead?
For it was but once announced an update.

And the following programs are not in the correct folder:
- Zen Bound -> games
- showtime -> other
- fm-boost -> system

And two new folders I would like to see:
- Internet (Opera, MicroB, Firefox, Midori, Chromium)
- Conversations (Conversations and fMMS)

In catorise, Zen Bound and fm boost are in the same folders as in my menu.

[Jaffa]

In catorise, Zen Bound and fm boost are in the same folders as in my menu.

Not quite sure what you're saying. What category does Zen Bound appear in?

If it's not Games (or Ovi) raise a bug with the developers and ask them to "include Categories=... in their /usr/share/applications/hildon/zenbound.desktop file, where the set of categories is defined by freedesktop.org (http://standards.freedesktop.org/menu-spec/menu-spec-1.0.html#category-registry)".

In fact, because Ovi doesn't use HAM (properly), packages from there will always be a bit hit and miss. Pass the bold bit above on to every Ovi developer you can! :-)

fm-boost defines itself (http://maemo.org/packages/view/fm-boost/) as user/system, so it appears in System. What do you t hink it should appear in? Multimedia? If so, raise it as a bug against that bug.

[anapospastos]

Not quite sure what you're saying. What category does Zen Bound appear in?



I mean that if catorise catigorize them in the same way then it' s just right.

[Dr.MZ]

It is a pity that such a great app just is not developed. It could be here sometimes to read a great many brilliant ideas.

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

[Znuf]

I love this app.

if you want add an apps or change the rep, just edit with leafpad or ssh:

/opt/menu-update/category

;)

[elie-7]

can someone please take of this ****ing app from the repositories, it causes more damage than most of the apps in the devels, it sucks, it messed up my menu, can't rearrange anymore, ****ing hell, please take it of from the repositories .

It's a great app. I love it. It does wat it is suppost to do. If you don't like it, don't install it! It's your own choice!

[geneven]

elie-7: Perhaps you could learn to have a modicum of politeness? And you might try realizing that your opinion isn't the only one out there.

NO!

This must be my most used app on my N900. Please do not remove it!

And please ignore ungrateful ignorant selfish individuals such as "elie-7"

[mr_xzibit]

long live MyMenu!!!! couldnt live without it

[elie-7]

sorry guys i didn't mean it, i should read about an app before installing it, no don't take it of, my fault .
i was pissed because i had to reflash the device to fix my menu, and i am so damm busy at the moment, now i'm back home at 9 pm and backing up before reflashing .
please don't take me the wrong way, thats a great app, makes the menu opens way faster .
and please keep it there.......:)

[TiagoTiago]

how exactly is this better than Catorize?

[LippiVan]

I love this app.

if you want add an apps or change the rep, just edit with leafpad or ssh:

/opt/menu-update/category

;)

THX !!!

that was exactely what i've been looking for!

[mr_xzibit]

hmmm that doesnt seem to work for me. i assume if the app is not on the list its automaticly dumped in "other" so i want to add joikuspot in
network folder. i added it. basicly copying another app

<Filename>joikuspot.desktop</Filename>:netzwerk
saved the file. copyed it back to /opt usin rooted mc.

but it has no effect? ive refreshed menu update. even rebooted but still it haunts me in other!. i have to much crap in other. so my question is......

how do you add or move apps from 1 catagory to another.???

[fajajako]

[ZootHornRollo]

does this work with PR1.3? I had to reflash after all app menus went blank and desktop short cuts were unresponsive to most. Couldn't even get terminal to launch.

- these problems might have been my own doing as after running the my-menu update and it hanging for 15 minutes i 'ended current task'

i just wanted to check before i re-installed it again.

Dont install it yet.

I installed this from extras-testing and it aligned my icons in alphabetical order.. also i was not able to change position of icons... i updated this app from devels and everything worked fine -- got all the fancy folders and stuff... but when i uninstalled it... it removed all the icons(including HAM, xterm and all the installed applications) except some nokia default.. now i am looking for a script or command to repair the icons

Please Manzn can you help with this issue ??

[N900@900MHz]

Installed "MyMenu" no problems so far, great app.
Running fine with PR1.3 and titans kernel v42-v46
menu update, ready within 1 minute.

[siavarshan]

hi there man,i faced the same problem did u fixed your problem?its killing ma device,if u have any kinda solution just let me know Tanx.

[madrista]

hi there man,i faced the same problem did u fixed your problem?its killing ma device,if u have any kinda solution just let me know Tanx.

easy way to get rid of application problems: install a similar app and uninstall it
if you have any program to display shortcuts in status menu try accessing app manager from there, i installed catorise and uninstall it and all the apps were back.

[darguzar]

Come onnn Please can any one solve this problem....

I mean so many of us have this problem but can't seem to solve it...

When ever i try to install mymenu it gives me this error...

Application Package missing : mp-fremantle-generic-pr (>=2.2009.51-1)

Just yesterday i flashed my device even flashed the eMMC

but still getting this error....

I really eant to install my menu but can't........

Can't the guys who made this app help us.....:(

[zehjotkah]

why don't you install catorise?

[darguzar]

becuase that won't let a icons like phone, contact, converstions and stuff out of the content folder....

and it is more easier...

Any ways please can any one help us....

We are in desprate need of help this this has been going on for all most a year for all of us and it is about time some one should come with a solution please....

[RobbieThe1st]

becuase that won't let a icons like phone, contact, converstions and stuff out of the content folder....

Uh... What?
I can move -all- my icons into folders, including built-in ones.

[darguzar]

Can u read where i said..... "let me write in bold letters my be u will try to understand...."

Catorise WON'T LET ME put ICONS LIKE PHONE, CONTACTS AND CONVERSATION "OUT SIDE" A FOLDER....

WHICH MEANS ALL THE APP. ICONS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE IN FOLDERS.. U "CAN'T" PLACE THEN OUT SIDE A FOLDER

[geojoking]

Is there any way to change the icons of the categories ?

I just think that the icons don't "go well" with the original icons and I want the style of the N900 to be the same on all levels.

[eefo]

http://maemo.3ion.at/mymenu-0.2.20100101_armel.deb

ApMeFo -DOES- LET YOU DO THAT!

[Jaffa]

Catorise WON'T LET ME put ICONS LIKE PHONE, CONTACTS AND CONVERSATION "OUT SIDE" A FOLDER....

YES. IT. WILL.

If you edit /opt/catorise/menu and set something's folder to _root it will do exactly that.

[Brian_7]

Use catorise-gui

[Jaffa]

Use catorise-gui

I think they mean changing the icons of MyMenu. Of course, Catorise uses the themes categories, so already matches...

[geojoking]

Exactly, I like MyMenu better than catorise, but I'd like to be able to change the icons of the categories so that they all follow the same pattern. I'm sure I can find Nokia icons for all these categories. And with better quality I might add, the MyMenu original icons don't look as sharp as the Conversations app icon, for example.

[eefo]

I installed ApMefo and i got to say if you are not too lazy to sort all your icons it is the thing for you. Catorize also does wonders. i didnt really like MyMenu.. just my opinion.

[gandotratushar]

if you really want to install this, here is what i did:
1) Download the file from https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1209&release_id=3128

2) Install it via command line :
dpkg -i --force-depends mymenu_0.4.4-1_armel.deb

3) reboot

It should install mymenu on your phone.

WOW WOW WOW.......

First of all GREAT Thanks To "gandotratushar"

he is the MANNN.... Our saviour.....

Seriously... it has been now over a year i was not able to get MYMENU 0.4.5 on my N900 and with his instructions i did it...

Thanks Man thanks ALot... i will tell u in detail what to do...

WOW WOW WOW was for the F**kup i did....

when i installed the Mymenu 0.4.5, i went to App menu and tried to change the position of the icons... then BAM... i was left only with a hand full icons which didn't had xterm nither appmanager...

and that was good other wise i would have uninstalled my menu andwould have seriously F**ked up my self... any way then it came in my mind... and i will also tell u the solution for this... i remember sieng posts of many people having this problem of accidenly disappearing all the icons... only if u screw up after installing my menu i can't gurantee any other application...

First HOW to install MY MENU 0.4.5

1. Either download it from here http://maemo.org/packages/view/mymenu/

or click on the link below

http://repository.maemo.org/extras-devel/pool/fremantle/free/m/mymenu/mymenu_0.4.5_armel.deb

or i have also attached it with the post...

2. if u have my menu 0.4.4-1 installed u don't need to uninstall it.. it will update it automatically...

3. save the mymenu 0.4.5 downloaded file in MyDocs, which is the N900 root folder.

4. open Xterm and type sudo gainroot

there u will see

/home/user #

5. type

cd MyDocs

6. then type

dpkg -i --force-depends mymenu_0.4.5_armel.deb

it will start installing.. after the instalation u will se mymenu page saying updating menu...

and wallahhhhhh..... u now have mymenu 0.4.5 on you N900


Now the solution for the disappeared icons...

in my case i had and and icon of xterm on the desktop and it was not working when i was clocking it it was not opening...

so i remembered a shortcut from keyboard...

press Ctrl + Caps then press X

it will open a xterminal..

now all u have to do is type

sudo gainroot

then u will see

/home/user #

type cd /opt/menu-update

then type sh update.sh

exit xterm and got to your app menu and u will se all the icons back...

So that is all...
now i hope people can easily install MyMenu 0.4.5 on their N900s
and can easily understand and my thorough explaination....

Once again thanks to "gandotratushar"

N900 Rocks.....

[Omy786]

is it in devel ? or its been fully realized?

[N900@900MHz]

@development:

i use mymenu with pleasure, but the latest update is not compatible with CSSU. Any chance to fix that??

I like mymenu more than catorise and apmefo....

thanks anyway for the good work already done.

[darguzar]

Don't know man i am just a daily user... just figured it out and with the help of a few posts i finally installed it.... i tried but couldn't find the developer so that i could request him to fix that....

I used your install guide, MyMenu 0.4.5 is installed now.
But i couldn't find the "new" option for managing the menus.
Also now i have some trouble with xterminal

apt-get upgrade isn't working correcty.
In app manger there are some update's but i couln't install them via xterm.
Before forced installed mymenu, the was no problem..
I have power-kernel v47 and CSSU installed,
So anybody sugesstions what to do???
And/or is someone willing to make mymenu compatible with CSSU?? (remove the dependicies)

Thanks in advance

I tried to install this form app manager and i get "cannot install".
I think this is not compatible with pr 1.3 and cssu.
That is why i use ApMeFo
