EDIT: Or just use my transition file, it might do the trick straight if you're not already using a custom transition.ini

Thanks, but that's not it.

This might better explain what I'm trying to do.

While you in a call, instead of putting the phone to your face/head, just hold it in your hand. Then use your thumb to cover up the proximity sensor, you'll noticed that the display will be switched off rather quickly (by design). Moving your thumb away from the sensor will then power up the display again...but there's a delay.

There's a time difference between the speed of turning the display on, and turning the display off. Off is a lot quicker...

What I would like to achieve is to make the response time shorter when the display comes back on.

I get you now mate, although I'm not sure how to do that. Maybe post up a new thread and see what the Linux boys come up with- if it can physically be done (ie the delay isn't limited by something like the time it takes actually powering up the display) then they'll sort it for you!

Search before you go starting a new thread, I saw one only the other day and added my ten pence into it. I believe it would be a D-bus call that increases the polling rate to the proxy sensor, but I'm a) no linux buff and b) no coder, so I can't do it. Technology savvy, can work Photoshop fine no worries, but when it comes to this techie coding stuff I'm in well over my head.

May be issues with increasing the polling rate to the sensor too in terms of battery usage and the like. Besides, it'll eat up processor cycles and might cause lag when answering calls and during chat etc. No doubt some incredibly clever Linux guru will be able to answer the question, I'd be looking to qwerty12 or MohammedAG for an answer to this question....

Absolutely, of course search if you haven't already mate- I had (maybe a tad optimistically) assumed he searched before posting here :D

If you only want to modify the transitions of a specific theme, then you need to go into your theme folder and edit the transitions.ini file in /opt/usr/share/themes/YOUR THEME (which is the name of the theme you are using.

Keep in mind though that if you do that, every time your theme has an update, you will need to go there afterward and re-edit the transitions.ini file.

Hope this helps!


EDIT: text removed. Corrected by D-Iivil below.
Thanks both of you (D-livil inc),
That i what I was getting confused with and all clear now. I couldn't find one under the Alpha theme though did find the hildon-desktop transitions file. I don't use themes and settle with the one, so will replace the hildon one.
Not sure about most though only every really change the wallpapers etc so found that if I set it as liked, icons, wallpapers etc.
Then back up, change to another, back up. Easiest to simply restore and wella. Saves the extra root space used storing themes.
lol

Darklar,
Thanks mate, I was probably not clear in my posts.
All good now :)

Guys,
Can anyone assist me. I have my current folder structure as: MyDocs/.documents/N900 (folders under that).
I wish to relocate it to:
MyDocs/N900 (folders under that)
So I am moving it up one path, how do I do this is X-Terminal?
I also wish to keep the exact folder structure as in current location.

Then dump all 5 files (4 wallpapers and 1 desktop file) in your images folder on your N900. Now when you go to change background you will see the name of the file you created there.

Hope this helped.
That's what I did, but I don't want my wallpaper to move. I want it to stay fixed. Like the background on an android or iphone. Just one wallpaper without moving when sliding.

I'm thinking you need to be root but I might be mistaken, and then use the mv command in terminal;

Code:
sudo gainroot
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/N900/* /home/user/MyDocs/N900
That should do the trick Coffee mate :D

If it doesn't (and I'm still earning this lark) try the following:

Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs
mkdir N900
mv /home/user/MyDocs/.documents/N900/* /home/user/MyDocs/N900

How to enable Reboot button?
plus more..

in power button settings!




When you press the Power button, a menu is shown containing options to e.g. Switch off or lock the device. And what if you just want to reboot it? Sure, you can use the "Switch off" function and then just press the Power button again to turn the N900 back on. But it can be made simpler and quicker as you can add a separate "Reboot" button to the menu, which will automatically reboot the device without you having to do anything.

All you need to do is to edit one config file and "uncomment" its part responsible for showing the button, disabled by default.

In order to do this, you will to:

* Download and install rootsh from the Extras repository, which will give you root access in the X-Terminal
* Download and install Midnight Commander, the well known file manager which also contains a convenient text editor.



Now the actual modification:

Launch X-Terminal
* type sudo gainroot to enable root access
* type mc to launch Midnight Commander
* in the Midnight Commander, using the keyboard arrows, browse to the /ect/systemui/ folder and select the systemui.xml file
* make a copy of that file, just in case that you do something wrong, so that you can simply restore its original version anytime
* tap the 4 Edit button (at the bottom) to open the text editor
* at the bottom of the file you will notice that part of it (consisting of three ... entries) is disabled within the "comment" marks (starting ).
* move the "comment" marks mentioned above "<!--" (e.g. by deleting and re-typing them in other place) so that the two remaining entries ("Soft poweroff" and "Top in XTerm") are still within them but the "Reboot" entry gets outside of them
* tap 10 Quit button at the bottom of the editor and confirm in the requester that you want to save the file (if you don't see the 10 Quit button you may need to change the X-Terminal font size to 10)
* exit Midnight Commander, close X-Terminal and reboot the device
* after the N900 reboots, you should see the new "Reboot" option in the Menu.


When using the X-Terminal with root access enabled, be EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS! Root access enables you to modify (and thus also DAMAGE) all system files, which can even result in BRICKING the device. If you don't know what you are doing, better don't do it.

you should cd to /etc/systemui NOT /ect/systemui !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But I have to say thx all the same.

Thanks mate,
I myself am trying to get by using the simplest of code.
I made the folder using mkdir, no problem!
when trying to copy from one location to the other via cp, it returned ''omitting directory''. strangely move via mv command worked.

Guys,
does anyone have any black key/ coloured text or coloured key/ black or white text calculator or phone dial pad they would be so kind to share?
Can you and if so how. Change the background of the music applet under mediaplayer?
regarding the media player, i changed it's background, thank you. i did notice the default flicks up first and then my one loads over. this suggests the real one is loaded elsewhere and then searching for theme options. hope it makes sense, where is the default found to change?

There are image caches which are cleared when you switch themes so try switching themes, re-booting then switching back.

WARNING: CHANGING THIS FILE OTHER THAN WHAT I ADVISE MAY BRICK YOUR DEVICE, I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE IF U BRICK ur N900!





1. download this file, remove '3' from filename.
http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n90...ildon_desktop3
2. copy to root dir of phone and disconnect phone from pc
3. open xterm, type:

sudo gainroot [enter]
cd /home/user/MyDocs [enter]
chmod a+x hildon-desktop [enter]
mv /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch.org [enter]
mv hildon-desktop /usr/bin/hildon-desktop.launch [enter]

4. Install "dbus-scripts.deb" FILE ATTACHED

5. Copy http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hdk-scripts to /etc/dbus-scripts.d

6. Copy http://my.arava.co.il/~matan/770/n900/kf/hdk to /usr/local/bin (making sure it is executable)


<shift><ctrl>H takes you to home screen.
LEFT and RIGHT keys change desktops
<shift><ctrl>f launches FBreader
<shift><ctrl>b opens a new browser window, and a few other shortcuts.

# in the application menu (launcher) and window switcher:
q - selects the top left thumbnail/icon
w - selects the top, second from left
...
a - selects the left of the second row

And so on. In addition, in the window switcher pressing shift or FN together with the letter closes the window instead of moving to it.


Currently configuring shortcuts is by editing the python script /usr/local/bin/hdk.

Not quite sure where theygo in a standard config because mine go into

You're welcome :)

If you don't want any effect when button's pressed then yes rename it and put it instead of renamed. I did that and found it a bit wierd and not 'alive' some how and changed the pressed one back to show when shortcut icon was pressed...
