Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

Nokia Sleeping Screen makes your phone stand out from the crowd by painting beautifully crafted images on the sleeping screen.

It is not only about aesthetics - Nokia Sleeping Screen is highly useful, too. With just a glimpse you’ll be able to see missed calls, unread text messages, and reminders presented with clear icons and animations.

Nokia Sleeping Screen gives you an enjoyable view to sleeping phone while it maintains the battery operating time of your phone.

Anyone interested to be ported for Maemo 5?

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

The screen (read: HARDWARE) on the N900 does not allow this. It's all on or off, not single pixels.

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

I have often wondered if it is possible to take the screen brightness down to zero percent while leaving the LCD on.

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

This is possible. You have to echo brightness values to a particular line in a settings file. I dont remember that line now.. you can search for it

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

echo 0 >/sys/class/backlight/acx565akm/brightness

auto-brightness resets the level after a few sec but you can turn that off

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

As far as I know there's no FOSS-replacement for locked screen. Also, the locked screen is very, very hard to hack, from what I've read. So for now, no, not for Maemo. If the CSSU-group would be able to import the locked screen from MeeGo and (assumably) it is open sourced then maybe.

For more information see this thread : Anyway to remove the text "Swipe to unlock" from the lock screen?

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

that means simple brightness can have more level of brightness(instead of five)

Re: Nokia Sleeping Screen - Why not for Maemo?
 

I wish it had a slider...
