Hi!

I downloaded the latest version and rebooted the phone but the icon does not show up. Could this be because I currently use Quick Launch?

Installed it with lfocus_0.309-1_all.deb.

There is no lfocus on the indication bar, neither before nor after a reboot.

It however works fine after running it manually with:
sudo lfocus start
after opening the camera lens cover; can use the physical keyboard keys but there still are no control buttons on the touchscreen.

It also sometimes takes 2 key presses to either turn on or turn off the LED/red LED.

Generally a very useful script, even though it doesn't seem to work as intended (no ifocus on the bar, no touchscreen control because of that), unless I'm doing something wrong.

Do you think it would be possible to, through a similar script or something else, disable the red LED blinking while taking a photo with flash off?

hey guys, I'm sorry for my late reply since I've been really busy these days.

as for the issue of the widget not showing up when you open the lens cover, I "think" it could be because of some missing packages.
please try to run the following commands as root and see if it works for you or not:

apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install python-hildondesktop hildon-desktop-python-loader python-gtk2 python-dbus
pkill -f /usr/bin/hildon-status-menu

after running those commands successfully you should be able to see the lfocus menu when you open up the lens cover.
and please read the first post on this thread for more information about the usage and operation of this script

cheers :D

I upgraded and installed the missing packages you listed but it still doesn't show. Any other ideas/missing dependencies?

EDIT: Nevermind, already figured it out.

Please do share... it didn't worke for me.. :(

Typed in the commands successfully, but didn't find any lfocus icone.

Re: N900 Video focus and led light, python script
 

I was first looking for it at the Camera dropdown list, but it's actually placed in the Notification Area (clock, connections, battery status), so just click there while having the camera app running and it should be there.

Aha, I see... heh, but can't find it there either.. :confused:

Does it have something with that I have the FlashLight program installed?
