View Full Version : SKINNABLE fm transmitter superwidget (fmrdsnotify)

anyone using the FM transmitter regularly probably has a few widgets like me, i have the fm boost + transmit widget, fmRDS widget, and the media player control widget, which i have tried to condense as seen here
http://a.imageshack.us/img267/8606/screenshot2010081015592.png (http://img267.imageshack.us/i/screenshot2010081015592.png/)
what i propose is for all these functions to be in one cleaner "superwidget"
possibly incorporating next/previous track with volume keys (safer while driving)
and also possibly introduce a large +0.1mhz button, (skip transmit frequency +0.1mhz obviously! purpose - if you lose signal quality due to station congestion, skip your car stereo up to a better frequency, press +0.1 button by corresponding amount)
updated again
Thanks to Babel0 taking many of the ideas suggested here and incorporating them into his latest version of his fmrdsnotify widget we now have a fm superwidget (more or less!) this version of the widget has the default media player widget sitting snugly in the middle of it, overlap it when you install!

As you can see its much cleaner, crisper, and all around better than the collection of widgets we had been using previously, incorporates + and - mhz buttons for changing frequency on the fly and it's SKINNABLE!
should be in -devel repo's now! (no responsibility taken by anyone for bricked n900's, flood, fire, death, or mysterious appearance of a bowl of petunia's)
special thanks to maharadja for providing the skin for this widget and help throughout the process, but for those of you who wish to make your own skin (i know, how cool is that???) create a svg file and save as rds.svg, put it in MyDocs and remove/restart the desktop widget.
naming of obecjt ID's
* Label :
Station_Name : Default station Name
Station_Freq : Current Station Frequency
TX_Status_Off , TX_Status_On : Tx label status
* icons are :
FM_On_Icon, FM_Off_Icon : Switch Tx on / off
SMS_Off_Icon , SMS_On_Icon : SMS tags display
Phone_On_Icon, Phone_Off_Icon : Phone tags display
Music_On_Icon , Music_Off_Icon : Music tags display
Plus , Min : frequency of TX increase /decrease
or we have some community made skins for you to try out, simply unzip and save the file rds.svg under MyDocs. (1 at a time or it may get confused as to which skin you want, unti babel0 implementsl a skin chooser! :) ) all thanks to the respectice authors.

I really like this idea! Especially the idea of having a large +0.1mhz button onscreen! countless times I've been close to going off the road while changing the transm.freq. while driving.
I would easily pay a € or 2 for a widget like this!

i was thinking it would be easiest if the current free widgets were joined up therefore charging for it would be unethical at best, however if someone wanted to code it from scratch i guess that would be a different story. however the fact your willing to pay for it shows a lot of enthusiasm so thanks for the support! :)
ps. i dont get much signal congestion where i am but i've heard many people having the same issue as you so thats why i thought of the +0.1mhz button. personally i usually swerve about trying to skip songs with the small buttons on the media player widget so the volume key support would be more useful to me!
Hi,
I m the developper of FM Rds Notify widget... I m working on adding the SMS part as with Qt mobility it is simpliest to do.
And i think like you, pressing power FM button .. maybe i can include such thing in my widget with the power boost feature too

please include an extended lower frequency limit for the transmitter, as my car radio safely starts from 87.5 MHz ... and completely free from normal radio stations in my area ... so pleaaaaase .. :)
Now we still have to play around with shell scripts to override the official widget's frequency ...
Yes got the same issue than you here ... added a rc.local script to change range of fm transmiter

excellent news! the fm boost is included in the fm power widget i'm currently using, so perhaps speak to the developer of that about incorporating it straight in and save yourself some work!
so any plans on also incorporating some kind of media player controls, and/or a +0.1mhz button?
thanks!

would there be a way for the transmitter and receiver to work in tandum so that when the receiver picks up interferance it pushes the frequency of the transmitter to the next free frequency.
If the receiver worked before the transmitter the transmitter could display the frequency it is changing to via rds notify, eg 'changing to 102.2 in 5 seconds' maybe accompanied by a beep. that way youd never even have to look at your n900.

this has been discussed in other threads and unfortunately so far the answer is "uhhhh, dont think so, maybe," so until some genius can think of a way to get that (obviously preferable) method working, i thought the +0.1 button would be an easy to implement alternative.
festivalnut
2010-08-11, 22:01
alternative to the +0.1mhz button -
store 4 or 5 preset frequencies, corresponding to car stereo presets, pressing widget button will set transmitter to next stored frequecy and restart.
i know very little of coding but perhaps this could be achieved with a simple script and queen beecon widget to change the transmit frequency used by the fm transmit//bost widget???
thoughts or ideas?
wow, a thread with progression and no squabbling.
am i in the right place?
like.
I made my own widget with QBW cause i didn't like the size of the origninal fmtx-widget. I have shrinked my shortcuts so i wanted it to be the same size as they. You might be able to do this with QBW. If you ask NO!NO!NO!Yes! nicely he might help you with it. He is a nice guy ;)

thanks for the suggestion, must confess i haven't used queenbeecon too much, so i'm gonna look into it myself a bit more first before i bother him for help, would be a little rude going in completely ignorant because then i'd basically be asking him to do all the work for me!
don't mind asking the community in general if they'd like to take the idea and run with it, and take the credit since they'd be doing all the coding etc which i'd never learn, but if it is a matter of a simple script then i'll do some homework before specifically asking someone to do it.

oh dear, has anyone else's fmRDS notify widget disappeared altogether? (i know it sometimes disappears on upgrade or reboot, but this time it wont add again! :S )
i've tried un- and re- installing, still wont add the widget,
hopefully its a sign babel0 has something interesting up his sleeves, and not a sign that i've messed something up! :/
I ve done a mistake while adding SMS functionnality need to update it again...
You can start it by hand from a command line by just typing fmrdsnotify &

thin it looks much neater than what we have already from your original concept! but may i suggest arranging icons vertically, and further spaced apart?
this way you can place it at the far side of the screen and could operate it without looking while you are driving, much safer! :)

Like the idea, like it alot. Id like the widget to be small. Possibly the same width or height as mediaplayer widget depending on is it going to be vertical or horizontal. I have no trouble hitting even smaller buttons whilst driving... hah famous last words.
I could make a rough example what i mean but i only have n900 atm. so no photoshop today...

Have you guys checked FM Transmitter status menu applet thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=43395&page=3
With that jacekowskis binary from here: http://jacekowski.org/Maemo/FMTXD you don't need FM boost anymore because the power level is always set to 120 and the frequency goes below 87.5.
Before going ahead with the mod I recommend reading the full thread. I have the FM Transmitter status menu applet with jacekowskis binary set up and it works very well.

well vertically my thumb uses about 1/3 of the screen, so would need to be relatively large, (whole screen) horizontally would require less space but would be harder to use while driving,
as it is with all the seperate widgets i seem to be using 1/3rd off a whole desktop i've designated for media. so even with an extra frequency function incorporating it all would be less messy than current usage,
that said, how bout a quick opinion survey? such as a) i want it small and pretty or b) i need it slightly bigger and functional?

Hey friend, any idea how to install that script, there are no instructions!
I use only one desktop screen for everything so I want it small and pretty. Same size buttons as the media player widget so you can just place it underneath.
Am I the only one?

i like the green/red on off combo off the current fmtx widget, matched with the fmrds green/red status's. and for the vertical one i'd say 3 large buttons, fm on/off, skip to next preset or +0.1mhz depending which solution is implemented (if any) and skip to next song. dunno bout where the fmrds status would fit into this though...
for the small and pretty one smaller buttons would allow for previous track and rds status easier. perhaps a black and white style to fit more themes?

The widget itself will only be this so you can place the mediaplayerwidget on top of this one.
Any comments?

lol loving the idea of art designers "going rogue"!
like the design too, particularly the on/off button icon. and overlapping the default media player widget is a stroke of genius (closed source equals massive pain i believe! maybe not so much for media controls? i dunno.)! however you seem to have left out the RDSnotify status (or were you planning to have that hidden/ left in settings?) which would be a shame, specially with babel0 on board for the programming!
also with the size of the buttons and all 6 so close together this would be very difficult to use while driving, so not so good for the bigger n functional mock up, but definately fits into the small and pretty corner! :)

would there be a way for the transmitter and receiver to work in tandum so that when the receiver picks up interferance it pushes the frequency of the transmitter to the next free frequency.
Transmitter and receiver can hardly work at the same time.
One problem that I ran into is that the FM radio application only works when the headphones are plugged in. It uses the headphones as an antenna, but you can still use the stereo speakers on the N900. The transmitter, however, only works when the headphones are not plugged in, so I couldn’t test running the transmitter and the receiver at the same time.
It is quite probable that the FM transmitter would, if it were operating at the same time as the FM receiver, desensitise the FM receiver, causing its Automatic Gain Control (AGC) to wind down thus preventing good signal reception, even with the transmitter and receiver tuned to different frequencies.
But:
The transmitter can also receive the signal level on the tuned frequency. This enables transmitter application to scan all frequencies, checking for vacant ones, and suggesting empty frequencies to the user for selection as transmission frequencies.
--------------------------------------------------
So, has anybody done an application which would push the frequency of the transmitter to the next free frequency?

well, I could make an bigger one. But what do you prefer? a nice small one or the big chunky one.Personnaly I only have the mediaplayer on(no changing in freq 'n stuff)
about the sms and tag status, i could implement that on the top of the widget. ill make a change to the .psd
it will take some time because i only have my N900 atm.

well i've mentioned in previous posts my preferred implementation would be something easily operated while driving, without having to look, so bigger buttons spaced further apart, less of them, (3main large buttons, maybe more smaller ones if need be) and probably vertically aligned so they could be dragged to the edge of the screen.
but it seems a lot of folk prefer the small and pretty option, anything that helps clear up the clutter is welcome anyway! :)

SVG is a vector format PhotoShop cannot export as SVG ?
This is the SVG of FM RDS notify widget https://garage.maemo.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/src/icons/rds.svg?root=fmrdsnotify&view=markup
With SVG you can name part of widget and i adress them from code.
SVG can be produced with free environment like Xara or Inkscape... I think Adobe Photoshop can do that too

@ babel0, i'm sure u know about the bug where rdsnotify randomly disappears? its only a minor nuisance at the moment since u can jjust re-add it when you notice, but i assume you'll have a look at this for the new version? as it'd be a bit more annoying if all the fm controls disappear altogether! :S

Youhave to export SVG of the whole widget. And name button or label inside SVG. For that you have a propertiy Object ID.
Give them some good name like POWER, PLAY, NEXT. If you want light on them then create a second object at same place with a different look and call it POWER_ON for example.

Hi,
Very good, that's what i want. Some thing to adjust :
* You merged label with status for SMS / Tags / Call
* Antenna on bottom look like a bitmap but we can do with it.
Do you want the player inside this or you prefer to create your own player ?

could you lowering down the minimum of the FM transmitter frequency? start from 76.0Mhz to 108.0 MHz? Increase by +1 or click to scroll like the standard FM transmitter app. This will be very handy since some radio got as low as 76Mhz. Not in USA but in other countries. Illegal for Nokia to make but for the community it isn't.

i wanted to use the standard mediaplayer widget in this one. or do you prefer a complete new one?
and for the tags, do you want changing icons to indicate the status? example: an smal white music note for music tags off, and a green music note for music tags on?
and for the antenna icon, they are, in the end, all bitmaps. i just imported the .psd in illustrator and exported it in svg format.

Maybe just showing icon looks better... don't know will try like that firt.
For the mediaplayer i will try to automatically load it into this widget on start

i'm using the uk firmware which appears to go from 78 to 107.9, don't know if babel0 is planning to implement the increased frequencies in his first release, would be another useful addition if he did, but if not i believe it has been achieved through the us e of scripts already, and since it doesn't clutter the desktop with another widget or require re-initiating often it may be easier to just use the scripts yourself than program it into the widget.

Here is the new UI. With more icons =D
I think this will fit better to BabelO 's work
I've split up the On/Off from the TX: title so you can change them.
Here's a screen with all functions on

that sounds fantastic! skinnable widgets for all! :) how long do you estimate til your there? remember to do an [announce] to let everyone know when its available, (and maybe get yourself some extra thanks you so deserve!) or if your doing some kind of pre-release / beta test feel free to pm me! :)

How is that possible?
I installed UK firmware too and the lowest frequency for FM transmitter is 88mhz can't go any lower. Have you done any modification to it?
Where is the FM transmitter App config file is store?

ummm,,, its possible through either my fat thumbs, lack of attention, or excessive use of herbs... that was meant to say 88... sorry! :S

oh and i've just remembered something thats going to throw a spanner in the works for the +0.1mhz button...
american firmware versions go up in 0.2mhz increments!
or so i believe, feel free to correct me if imm wrong, may even apply to global firmwares.
admittedly not a big spanner, could be as simple as changing it to a +0.2mhz button to keep everyone compatible.
All those settings are available through sysfs, you can force Full range and step of 0.1 Mhz if you want....
All is from the driver and published in sysfs /sys/class/i2c .....
maxximuscool
2010-08-18, 09:20
I already post a hack to get it to work. The frequency range from 76.0 to 107.9Mhz.
So 0.1Mhz incremental from 0.0 to 0.9.
:)
ok, now i get the svg working, but there is some bad thing in it. tx status icon disply wrong. and i need to solve one more thing before release.
also i think it is better to use preset instead of frequency entry.

Look like the antenna icon when not activated is not same size as activated... so when i redraw it, it did not do anything ...
both need to be same same size.
I also have a problem with frequency label. i think i post a release this evening here, just for try.

Freq label is just plain text. I'll make another antenna icon then(with te exact same sizes) hopefully that will help
kinda curious of what you made, is it safe to use? =3

With frequency label do you mean the text under the + / - or the station Frequency (aka on image 107.2)

Ok this is a test version labelled 0.1 so if you have issue with it just upgrade.
You can start it from shell /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/fmrdsnotify
If you want to try most design stuff just copy a file named rds.svg to N900 through mass storage. File should appear under /home/user/MyDocs
to start fm transmitter press antenna

Mine here
you can activate fm by pressing antenna.. but look like button is small..
Tx On / Off is a text so overwite is problem

Like i say if you want to try new layout or anything else just create a rds.svg file and put it on your N900 root storage :)
That looks great :).
Something that would make it even easier to use would be if you created some kind of FM transmitter applikation to use together with the widget. It could be some kind of full screen application which would mean even larger Icons and even easier to use :).
Hmm, I'd still simplify the general layout, here's my two cents for stirring up the conversation.
As in, why there should be extra indicator for TX when the on/off icon could manage the same thing
I did a quick mockup in Inkscape with Meego building blocks, didn't care for the media player width at the moment (but you'll get the general idea) Maybe it could be more maemo-ish but here goes nothing:

Good :)
You can try your svg with this widget, simply put rds.svg at the right place /home/user/Mydocs or connect n900 in USB Storage mode and copy file to rds.svg on the root filesystem.
Btw the naming of obecjt ID is as follow :
* Label :
Station_Name : Default station Name
Station_Freq : Current Station Frequency
TX_Status_Off , TX_Status_On : Tx label status
* icons are :
FM_On_Icon, FM_Off_Icon : Switch Tx on / off
SMS_Off_Icon , SMS_On_Icon : SMS tags display
Phone_On_Icon, Phone_Off_Icon : Phone tags display
Music_On_Icon , Music_Off_Icon : Music tags display
Plus , Min : frequency of TX increase /decrease
Maybe I'll give it a shot later on today. :)

so after a test run, i shall give my opinion :p
the widget works great, rds tags are showing good. i'm using fmboost for amplifying the signal, without it the rds sometimes show and sometimes not(due signal strength).
The fmOn button is kinda small so a few taps are needed to hit it right.
Small to do list(if possible)
Make the FmOn/FmOff button bigger to hit.
Let the icon of the FmOn/FmOff button change depending on tx status
If the sms/music/phone tags are on, let the white icon dissapear and vice versa.
Perhaps implementing Fmboost would be cool?
if these points are due of my crappy UI design lemme know how i can change them to get the right result!
overall a great widget! needs to get in the repo's fast =D

Yes button is small yes a bigger icon so ? :) icon should change yes but look like there is transparent colour, result is that i show green on top of white. You can test yourself by creating a new svg file with red / green icon. btw i ll try to do a small hack to fix that
Yes FMBoost is pretty nice i look to activate it here too
And i need to work on SMS part to show it on car radio same for people name instead of phone number

They do - but right now activating the buttons is total hit or miss. They really need to pad the buttons so that its easier to press them. Apart from that and the fact that the gap in the center is a few pixels small for the media player widget - this is a great app.

Yes agree i use Qt function to setGeometry of button from SVG... but size is not good so i adjust them with offset, look like i need more.
I give it a try later

I don't know how many of you have a Radio, in the car or other wise, that supports BlueTooth, but I sync'ed the N900 via bluetooth instread of the transmitter, Wow, what a difference. Great sound, no static or distortion, no cutting out. Works great! So I would highly recommend, when/if you change out your car radio, to go with one with bluetooth and connect this way. You won't be sorry.

2010-08-23, 20:28
Bratag,
I know there is a certain PROFILE that is needs. A2DP I believe? If your car radio has that it should work. What I did find is when you sync it, turn on the Bluetooth on the N900 FIRST, then the radio. This works everytime, once sync'ed. But if you are not able to even Sync them up, then that might be related to the bluetooth profile. You know your phone has it, you might want to look at the radio owners manual, or perhaps call them up, maybe some kind of update you can do on the radio depending how old it is. I'm just glad the N900 worked. My Incredible worked like a charm, but to be honest I think the N900 sounds better. (sorry to get off track on here folks, I know this is about the FM transmitter). So I'll back off with the Bluetooth posts now. Sorry!

To fix the button hitting problem(i think) you need to make some transparant space around the icon(aka the hittable space). Havn't tested it yet, but my layout is only responding to the sizes thay have in the svg format.
Btw one more thing: is it possible to switch the icons when they are pressed on? like my layout the changing antenna?(it doest work atm)

I can't get the frequency to increase or decrease hitting anywhere on those buttons or around them. (I haven't got any custom buttons installed just the default after installing through app manager). Should they increase / decrease when the fm transmitter is off as well

Yes i do the code, it works but you don't see it ;)
your icon have transparent background so we see both as they are on top of each other... if you tweak a back background for the fm transmiter off icon instead of transparent, it should work. else i don't know how to design this.
That the same problem for push button when i ask for size i got floating value that i need to transform to int to use with qpushbutton ... and i lost a part of the size.
Maybe a real size button around the icon give a good result. have to try with stonda theme

I have updated the FMrdsnotifier to the last version, looks very good. Nice job done here! As idea, is it possible to adjust the color of the on/off button symbol??? Like in the simply fm tramsmitter widget? So when transmitter is off a red symbol and when it is on a green symbol??
Now is it all gray/white, more color is welcome.. Thanks for the great job done so far!

Hi,
Great apps. I just have a minor problem. Every time i reboot the phone, the widget disappear. Also Stonda, can you please make the new upside down svg file with the black background like the original? It goes better with the darkplastic theme. Thanks for all the hard work.
Hi,
It should work with latest 0.7.2, i just do the test, shuting down the phone then power it on. widget automatically come back

Excellent app. Could we also have a bigger version with larger buttons for bigger finger and the slighly fading eyesight over to over 40s? I don't mind if the widget size increases.

Bigger buttons(to hit)
No more transparant bleeding
Get it while its hot!
That's good with designer's guy s :)
Better than me.. So i call you for another widget which is Profile Manager, to automatically switch profile depending of your location.
Btw i will add a theme manager to this widget, as you are two people with good design.
And an about section with your name !

Haven't been through the thread entirely but any ideas why this might be and how I can fix?

How difficult would it be to have the widget almost as big as a N900 desktop? Is it just a case of using different graphics?
I'd like to have a bigger version so I can quickly control it whilst driving in the car. Can we have a supersized version of this widget please?

@the first post of the thread there is an discription of all the id's. if you don't know what what is, ill make an nice example.
there is an option in illustrator to export to svg so you can use that.
youll need to change the id tags with something like notepad(because the illustrator exporter sucks)
Thanks!
Will try! Does the widget take over the measurements?
Yeah, the svg file determinates the size of the widget. You could just resize some of the svgs which were previously posted into this thread, although the highlighted button presses look a bit on the funky side there.
When you're done with the resizing, just copy the resized svg into /MyDocs and reload the widget.
I reckon widget width between 760-790 pixels should do the trick, since you should leave some room to each side of the desktop.

and while i'm here anyone fancy doing a super simple skin? 3 buttons, vertical, full height about thumb width, on/off button, + button, and skip track button (if that command has been integrated yet) with status of rds indicated through white or green on said buttons. my artistic skills are as poor as my coding ones!

Ok. Looking good. One little thing is the green 92.2 that is shown at the top of it which hides the frequency. It would be good if that was the size of the frequency as it is really clear.

BabelO is it possible to configure the text size in the widget? And the color?
Maybe can center the text also?
Seems like it won't use the custom svg file . . . does it scan only on documents folder? Because in dutch it's called "Documenten" and I've put the file to it, but it doesn't seem to work.
Works already!

Excellent. Looks really good. Could we have the frequency displayed in a larger font. It would make it easier to tell while driving what it is.
I've been trying to edit the SVG to my liking, but failing a little.
I've attatched a quick mock up of how i'd like to have it.
It is a 440px x 190px widget i want.
The red lines are where i would like the button press areas to be, because i find just having the + and - part of the widget as buttons makes it abit small (i'm not using the full screen version).
As you can see, all i want it to show, is the power on/off button in the middle, the frequency at the top, and +/- symbols.
I don't know if it would be a problem, but as you can see, my button press area outlines overlap on the frequency text, but this is how i'd like it, as to give me a bigger area to press and less room for error.
What is a good SVG editor for me to use to make this myself?

It looks very nice, although to big for me. Good job.
If you want to make the buttons as you mentioned in the previous post, you need to make(i assume you work with illustrator or photoshop) a layer of the button icon AND the hitting area.
So copy the background with it and merge the icon + the background. This is the way to create a bigger hittable button.

it sometimes seems to be a bit laggy starfting. is there a trick or a sequence with sgtarting media player and the transmitter?
Also, though I can change the settings, they reset after a restart. is there anyway to save them?

Hi,
On start it is the fm transmitter activation which took time. i can change this by switching directly ON the widget when you press the button, and if the transmitter is not activated after a while i switch it back to off.
Look strange, settings save well here, look in your /home/user/.config/Trolltech if there is a directory "FM RDS ..."

The button is very picky, but it should work if you press it just right. It usually takes me a few presses to get it on. It would be helpful if the button changed color to let you know you pressed it. Still, I do love this widget.

Nice application, and very useful. Thanks for it!
I've made a few observations about how it can be further improved.
A) It's difficult to turn on the FM transmitter with your button. There are several reasons, and the combination of them makes it a difficult experience.
- The button does not give visual feedback, until after the FM transmitter is on.
- The FM transmitter takes a long time to turn on (often ~1 second), and so the currently given visual feedback is veeeeery slow.
- Sometimes MAEMO interprets my button press as home screen scroll, and thus does not forward it to your widget. The lack of immediate visual feedback makes me often not notice it.
- The button is very small, too small for my thinking. It's worth to consider making this button wider, because it's the most often used button of the widget.
All in all, I never succeed to activate the transmitter at the first attempt, and less so while I'm doing other things at the same time (like walking to the car).
B) There seems to be a bug that can sometimes be triggered as follows:
- Select a home screen with media player widget and your FM widget
- Start music (on speaker) with media player widget
- Start FM with your widget
- Pause music with media player widget
- Wait for FM to turn of automatically after a minutes
- Get a friend send you an SMS.
Sometimes you will not hear your SMS tone, but rather the -beep- it uses to play through FM. However, the FM is off and the beep is played through the speakers, as if it were your SMS tone.
I believe there is a problem related to FM state and the MAEMO FM timeout mechanism somewhere.
Still, the widget is already now an improvement and worth using!

It gives not visual feedback because there are only two states of the button. On and off . . . not a hover state. Maybe you can try some other skins, they're in the first post of the thread.

Seems like a focus problem...

focus should come automatically.

they will turn green if the desired tag is activated to display via rds.
example: the music note will turn green if you activated the dispay of mp3-tags(or ogg and flac im not sure if they work) via rds
hi
I've some suggestion :
suppose Mp3 Tag is "Song Title Song Artist"
and also suppose radio car display size = 8 (Peugeot 206 clarion)
your application scroll in this way :
Song Tit
le Song
Artist
is it possible to scroll the text like this :
Song Tit
ong Titl
ng Title
g Title
Title
Title S
itle So
tle Son
le Song
e Song
Song A
Song Ar
Song Art
ong Artis
ng Artist
g Artist
Artist
Artist
rtist
tist
ist
st
t
and add an option for display tag on rds until next song.
are these possible ?
Yet possible to center the text in the skin?
And maybe rotate the widget to portrait?

I always thought the display was determined by the radio.

Well, most of the people will have it on the charger anyway while driving(i think)
But that solution will work on a 8 and 10 digit rds display!
Well to be honest, I went a bit roque and made my own ideal widget.
If this is possible(programming wize) it would be very nice.

How come it will be so slow? The big radio stations switch the rds texts very fast.
Maybe if it will be too damn slow you could fix the breaking of the words so it would fit to the 8 or 10 digit display.
An handsfree option would rock!

On my car system if i send RDS PS too fast the display is not in the right order.
Anyway i can change the string display by only display word in the display and if the end of the word is outside i did not display it, but i display next word. French radio do like that.
Is it that you want ?

Thats excactly what i want. Works the same here in the Netherlands. But with titles of songs you'll need to break them anywhay if the title is longer then 8 digits(most rds displays)

Yes agree with that, i will do it. My other idea is with the handsfree sytem to display the current street name :) so if people on the otherside tell you where you are, just read RDS Text, lol.
Same for navigation, text can be displayed there.
Actually i drive with Sygic mobile and mp3 music, when sygic output song it replace current music.
Anyway i m working on QLandkarte M to add some functionnality like OpenStreetMap , openRoute, 3D view and waypoint search, so be patient

Hello
i'm using FM RDS transmitter widget with great joy, but i noticed a couple of small bugs in it.
1) in settings sms-display, the "done" button is not responding, the other one's are working fine (mp3 tag display and phone call display)
2) when changing theme, the sms icon in theme stonda and stonda flipped stays "on", even when fm transmiter is off. The other theme's seems to working ok.
But when i manually remove the themes in the .fmrdsnotify folder, then the "default stonda flipped" cames up, wich is then working normally..
Some one else noticed the same problem???

Hello
i'm using FM RDS transmitter widget with great joy, but i noticed a couple of small bugs in it.
1) in settings sms-display, the "done" button is not responding, the other one's are working fine (mp3 tag display and phone call display)
2) when changing theme, the sms icon in theme stonda and stonda flipped stays "on", even when fm transmiter is off. The other theme's seems to working ok.
But when i manually remove the themes in the .fmrdsnotify folder, then the "default stonda flipped" cames up, wich is then working normally..
Some one else noticed the same problem???
I'am on PR1.3 titans kernel v46 oc'ed at 900MHz (stable so far)
The sms function wasn't complete, at least i think...
The problem with the stonda skin is one i know. I don't use that skin, but maybe stonda could fix it?

Ok thanks for the info, i use stonda, most complete,i like the design most and fits perfectly above mediaplayer widget.
I removed al the skins from .fmrdsnotify folder, Stonda skin, is default??? Because this one is still on the desktop, and now works normal.
I tried installing the other skins, then the stonda skin is no more selectable ( no stonda.svg in directory) they work well.
When i manually install/place stonda.svg in the .fmrdsnotify folder the sms icon stays on....
So in the meanwhile i stay without skins in .fmrdsnotfy folder.
Then stonda works fine......
after update today the widget keeps disappearing...

It's doing the same for me, I hope it gets fixed quickly.

Hi all,
I fixed the SMS functionnality, now fmrdsnotify depend on libqtm-messaging.
Stonda theme is fixed it was a typo in case sensitive xml.
About people who have issue, sorry i have updated also over repository and it is working there. If someone can go in terminal and start it by hand to see the output, i can solve then.

the segfault occurs a few minutes after starting. if there is anything else i can get then please let me know.
Same for me. Additionally, the timeout settings for text display are getting reset. When I re-add the widget to the Desktop every timeout is set back to the standard.

Evening,
I need few more information :
* Are you with PR1.3 ?
* Can you post your /home/user/.config/FM Rds Notify/FM Rds Notify.conf
I do more test here and with same version than you and still look ok, i think i miss something.
Note that widget is low to start since i added Messaging over qt mobility look like modesst connection.
I upload a new version.
Fabrice
Edit : I just read a thread here http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=873066#post873066 look like there is some issue with Qt Messaging... So the new version let you desactivate SMS reception until it is fixed. If you still have issue , remove the configuration file.
Ok last update is without Qt Mobility , should work now, but without SMS

My desktop is packed with widgets (e.g. several useful QBW ones ) and I like to have everything on one desktop. So the existing skins of fmrdsnotify were just to big and eating up too much space for me. Using the stonda widget as a base, I created a tiny skin (with all buttons fully functional and operational if you aim close), but beware -- you may find out that you need glasses :)
Please find the widget attached to this post. Installation as usual (put svg into ".fmrdsnotify" folder in your home dir). And yes, it has "tiny" in its name ;)
