GESTURE DAEMON Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

regarding the (double)tap_to_unlock thing:
I suggest to implement this separately in a generic way to have a system wide gesture detection daemon that has
-- configurable *attention*-triggers
. double-tap detected by accelerometer being one of them,
. various elementary gestures like e.g. face-down position or strong shaking another,
. and obviously some users would want button-press as trigger source.
-- Then the gesture-daemon needs some state awareness:
. state_is-locked,
. state_custom-script-returns-zero...
-- and needs to know which programs are in list of running processes aka started (ps ax) and also
-- which program is upfront and visible (or *would* be visible if the current program [lockscreen] vanished, i.e. second on window stack).

Depending on all these conditions met the daemon then starts to watch for certain gestures and does the configured action when sensing one of those gestures (e.g. send a dbus cmd to lockscreen app ::{ activation-trigger+=doubletap(X,1500,50);; conditions: triggerd-by=doubletap, gesture_to_detect=none, program_on_top=lockscreen;; action: cmd=dbus-send lockscreen "unlock"} )


I'd like to discuss the design rationales and architecture more in depth with anybody willing to give this a go

[edit] would integrate like siamese twins with pocketsphinx voice detection as suggested in and PoC provided in another thread here on tmo (sorry can't find the link right now) - voice input is "just another gesture" to detect

[edit2] this post spawns a new thread: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php...10#post1038610 - PLEASE answer there, not here (unless it's about the integration of that suggested daemon with the lockscreen)

Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

this is my vision

forgive my crude adjustments

Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

For what it's worth, I feel far more strongly sympathetic to a separate bar for the unlock button/slider. I would much rather have than than one button in the corner as in this latest round of mock-ups.

Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

I totally agree

Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

80% done.
Also, for now I'll be rather stubborn wrt the big bar placement for the landscape lockscreen. I think we can do something with the proximity sensor, so I'll leave that area free.

Since you asked...
Maybe a Wp7 lockscreen like theme similar to the theme on the IPhone 4 here? Support for seeing artwork along with the artist name and track (maybe below the date and time on the WP7 theme.

Also I like F2thak's notification area but not so much the header.
Hurrian's (Above) is very nice too.

Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

i love the icons instead of text for the notifications... very very nice... and i'd love the customizable wallpapers... darn good job this is!

Re: [Announce] Enhanced lockscreen
 

Okay, got the landscape and portrait ones pretty much done.

The reason for new messages being on the left and missed calls on the right is my memory of really old Nokia phones - they always used to have those two on the home screen.

is this how it *will* look???

Ask MAG. I'm pretty confident he can do it, after seeing his work on Open Media Player.
