It only boosts the sound for the earphone, not the builtin speakers :(

Do you mean how to add a button on your desktop that will lock your phone?

You could use Queen Beecon, with the following command:

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked" | echo ""
Or this for hard sleep mode:

EDIT: Changed the code to the one from the DCE wiki

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
No problem mate, firstly have you got an icon you'd like to use?

I'd use a largeish icon, like one which is at least 256x256 pixels, rename it to lock.png and using filebox copy and paste it to /home/user/.queen_beecon (that stops it showing up in your images folder).

Then copy the command below (highlight it and ctrl-c).

Code:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked" | echo ""
Then add widget to your desktop.

Next edit the widget (press desktop until you're in edit mode, then hit the spanner icon on the widget).

Once you're in there in the top row select

Type:'snippet'
Show:'Visible'
Status:'Enabled'
(leave command selection for the minute).

Next set size to about 100 width and 100 height (for now, you can edit this later).

Next row

Hide Background:Yes
Hide Click Background:Yes

Next delete every bit of writing you can find to delete in the white boxes you can see all the way down.

Now go back up to Command Title Settings

In that box write the name of your icon, lock.png.

Set Scale to Fit, and Position Center.

Two rows under that hit Position (the one with Title above it), and set it to hidden.

Also set the results position to 'hidden', and Frames to 'disabled'.

Under update policies, MAKE SURE THE ONLY ONE THAT IS SET TO YES IS CLICK.

Then Click on add command on the right, paste the above command (ctrl-v) and give it the name 'Lock'.

Now scroll aaaaall the way back up to the top, and under 'Command Selection' select 'Lock'

Now hit save and run and you're good to go ;)

I know this looks long but once you've done it a few times it literally takes minutes from start to finish, most of the bits will already be filled in correctly anyway. I haven't tested the above command but if you run into any trouble let me know,

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

/usr/share/hildon-desktop
transitions.ini to change and beautify the UI when it does stuff like pop out the statusarea. Prettiest ones are the ones leetut said: just change 'sequenced = 0' to 'sequenced = 1'
and 'duration = 250' to 'duration = 1200'

the duration (speed) can be set how ever you like,
higher number = faster movement (or slower, cant remember!)

(thanks to megaexer for explaining this to me)
(also dont EVER change 'snap_grid_size = 4'
to zero, cos doing that bricked me!)


Other ones are: App_close, make it around 850
popup
sliding subview
just explore. be careful and dont put anything to 0!

Is there a way for SMSes to appear like the yellow ribbon first?

that is brilliant got it all up & running 1st time with no problems at all thank you very much! any chance you could point me in the right direction of creating an overclock sort of desktop wherei can select different kernel settings at the clci kof a button & with some info on the screen to, i have seen lot of people with desktops with the sort of thing im looking for but never found a simple qbw way of doing it.

D4rKlar 2010-12-16 17:03

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Well the quickest/easiest way to create 'buttons' is by using the Desktop Command Execution Widget, which is what QB's based on.

http://i55.tinypic.com/2hzl5qw.png

To select a profile via buttons like I've got on the bottom left:

Set the title to whatever you want, but put blank spaces after it so that the results don't show up in the button box- you'll see what I mean!

Set to only update on click, add new command and to set a kernel profile use:

Code:

echo "/usr/sbin/kernel-load /usr/share/kernel-power-settings/ideal" | sudo gainroot
You can use any kernel profile in place of 'ideal' in the above, like LV, XLV etc.

Glad the lock worked mate!

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Try entering the first code into terminal, then this:

Code:

awk '{print $1/1000" MHz"}' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
What are you getting as an output? This will show your Maximum CPU frequency, which at ideal should be 850Mhz.

To check minimum:

Code:

awk '{print $1/1000" MHz"}' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Which should be 500MHz at ideal.

and for current it's

Code:

awk '{print $1/1000" MHz"}' /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_cur_freq
The current CPU frequency could be anywhere between 500 and 850 depending on what the N900's doing,

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Anyone know how to change the tablet picture in the start menu if you have cell modem ui installed?

I tried using the same approach to changing the other start menu files:

- put a 48x48 file in hildon folder,
- put the name of that file in the relevant part of the systemui.xml file in etc/systemui.

The systemui.file does not have a section for cell modem but there is a cell modem file in etc/systemui. The etc/systemui folder does contact a separate cell modem file. In that file there are about four of five icon files. Not sure what they are about but I replaced all of them with the name of the file I want to use and now I am left with a blank image.

I'm trying to change the png icon for the recaller widget. I have changed both 48x48 folder and scalable but it doesn't change. I have re-booted. Do I have to change something else because of it being a widget, or have I missed another folder that needs to be changed. Anyone know?

Hello mate! I've just had a quick look through the source and the icons seem to be in opt/tomch.com/recaller, both 64x64 and are called recaller_64.png (red square) and recaller_64_on.png (green square).

Hope that helps!

Thanks alot. Didn't think to look in there. Can I ask you another quick question D4rKlar. I also can't find htop icon. Do you know where that is? Thanks
Or anyone?
By the way D4rKlar, I'm loving your M4riNa D4rK theme and icon set. It's tidy.

D4rKlar 2010-12-30 16:24

Re: * The Truly Epic Maemo 5 MODs Thread *
 
Thanks bigears5000, always appreciated.

The htop icon is just thrown in there, no path in the .desktop either but it is a 32x32 size icon (called htop.png) if that helps... which it may not! If you've looked everywhere else Pixmaps is another place they love to hide ;)

Make the dots bigger without resizing the .png's?

Hello fellow modders. I'm faily sure that I am not the first person to find this, but I haven't seen it before. So I thought if I haven't seen it before, then some others probably won't have seen it either. Thought that I would post it to maybe give people some inspiration and also to show what can be achieved with some skins, wallpaper and themes. Hope this inspires someone else, like it has me. http://www.istyles.com/nokia-nokia-n...l?page=0#32611

You'll need to edit the radius of blur in the transitions.ini, look for this bit near the top:

Code:

# Blurring of the home view
# -- radius: amount of iterations of blur filter to perform when not zoooming
#            eg. for dialogs
# -- radius_more: amount of iterations of blur filter to perform when zooming
#                eg. for launcher/task navigator
# -- saturation: saturation of the background when blurred
# -- brightness: brightness of the background when blurred
# -- zoom: Basic amount to scale the home view by (gets multiplied by how many
#          'levels' deep the UI is - eg. launcher is one level, launcher submenu
#          is another)
# -- zoom_applets: Amount to scale applets by when zooming out
[home]
radius = 12
radius_more = 16
saturation = 0.8
brightness = 0.4
zoom = 0.93

Kind Regards,
D4rKlar

Hi,

I have edited my file as above and I get the Reboot option in the Power button menu, but the phone doesn't reboot.

It tries to reboot but stops on the 'holding hands' screen and then shuts down. It starts up fine if I do the usual long press on the power button.

No one else seems to be having this problem. Can anyone help?

Thanks.
