I am trying to avoid upgrading my phone for now so I haven't been able to test. By what I "heard" it is possible to workaround the bug by changing the graphics system.

It is possible that shutting down mycontacts (using the option in the menu) and starting it on the console passing a -graphicssytem argument will help.

Something like

Code:

/opt/crochik/mycontacts -graphicssystem raster

Code:

/opt/crochik/mycontacts -graphicssystem native

Code:

...

(I don't actually know which one will work better:( )

After someone figure out if this works it would be as simple as changing the startup script.

The raster graphics system is definitely borked on upstream Qt 4.7.2, which is in use by the CSSU.

Re: [Announce] MyContacts - 75 contacts on your desktop, custom ring tones per group and call with double-click

Got it! (thanks 'Power Search')

Code:

/opt/crochik/mycontacts -graphicssystem opengl

makes it. I have CSSU installed and it works. Maybe this is related to a thread that I started about being unable to install GLTron, I guess...

Are you the only one able to change it or can we (normal+ users) modify a file or so?

If that is the case you can fix the problem by:

change (as root) /etc/event.d/mycontacts to:

Code:

description "starts MyContacts"



start on started hildon-desktop



#respawn



console none



script

exec su - user -c "exec /opt/crochik/mycontacts -graphicssystem opengl"

end script

You may also want/need to modify /usr/share/dbus-1/services/com.crochik.MyContacts.service to:

Code:

[D-BUS Service]

Name=com.crochik.MyContacts

Exec=/opt/crochik/mycontacts -graphicssystem opengl

p.s. Changing the service file will allow you to start the application using dbus/icons. Most of the time you won't need it because the application will start with the phone and keep running until you shutdown the phone.

p.s.2. I haven't tested either so it is just an educated guess. I haven't checked if the Exec on the service file can take arguments or if this is or not the correct format but I assume so.

Please, after testing it, please make sure to post here to correct options for other people.

It definitely works.

I modified those files as stated and launched the app by the "adressbook icon" on the desktop. Had to click on the Install widget option, but everything is fine. At least it's fully working and good looking with CSSU installed ;)

No, dosent work for me, seems to crash when rotating. I think I settle with the missing graphics untill its fixed in cssu.

I don't have that problem pal. Assuming you have CSSU installed I even changed in CSSU Features the app rotation to forced, if that was your setting. It worked too, only in my case of course.

I tried "-graphicssystem native" but it didn't work. "... raster" was the one the CSSU setted, and "... opengl" is the only one that put all features in harmony in my case.

Both ways you change the graphicssystem and should have the same effect.

At work, I'm using my phone mainly for SIP calls.
When I click a contact on the widget, I can see phone numbers, msn and skype accounts but there is no line for its SIP number in mycontacts.
Is there something to do to activate it? Is there no support for SIP calls?

the person has a sip number defined, I can see it in the default contact app
and my sip account is active.
