Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

Nice, will it work if I have CSSU-T installed?

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

I think so. Test.

Seems to me that clock-ui is not critical part of the system, so messing with it will not cause harm (just reinstall it). But I haven't yet tested booting without /usr/bin/worldclock file.

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

And why you put that in extras-devel? Yesterday we agreed in IRC that as soon as it is packaged it will be put in CSSU repo. And you were told to not put it in extras-devel because it will bring problems with integration into CSSU. What is the big idea?

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

finally we had a version standard, without the seconds in one position and not in the other..finally centered...and now this extra-devel release, with the potential of not having to come to this thread every date due to the multiple updates...and everything is messed up again..what a step back..disapointed..really hope its a step back to soon have two steps in font...

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

I didn't understand extras-devel will cause problems with CSSU. This was most easiest way for me to test packaging outside of my tuned environment. I have asked removal from the extras-devel.

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

I think it would be best if the replacement clock would stay here just a little longer to still fix a few bugs.
Then I hope the code can go to the CSSU git in the desired way, where guys like Freemangordon can "clean up the mess" as he said it :D
@AapoRantalainen
Your packaging effort will be of good use then.

So what I still hope to do:
- fix snooze/inactive one time alert.
- I have to read the info from Nicolai and AapoRantalainen about how to address the prevention of killing the clock (and act on it if needed)

Looking at the discussion on IRC yesterday I could be we have to keep the background for CSSU acceptance. But I will leave that part wisely to them if possible :)

@artpra
I fixed your banner translation issue in the latest download.
Something else I noticed while having my N900 in Polish settings: the days for repeating alarms where separated by two comma's (every day ended with a comma in advance). Is that correct, is it my phone, or should it be changed?

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

Agree with You. i just hope that they plan to do so *only* after fixing redraw issue - increased CPU usage on redraw is a no-go for me, not to mention, that it conflicts with seconds in landscape. By the way, keeping background in landscape should also require adding additional one to portrait :P

Confirming - there are two commas, and it's *not* correct. Thanks for spotting that - I use Polish settings everyday, and haven't noticed it (well, i don't use repeating alarms...)

Can someone explain, what is the exact issue with seconds
and/or landscape mode.

@nicolai
worldclock replacement got some issue, that dates from times when CepiPerez wrote it originally - when using background image (i.e, only in landscape, as portrait doesn't have background image yet), every change (minute, hour, or second changing) cause ineffective - CPU intensive - "redraw", or how it's properly called. So, when having worldclock opened, every minute CPU is waked up to 10% usage, for a while, and there is ~0.5 second delay, before new minute is displayed in worldclock. Of course, same apply to situation, where both minute and hour change.

Now, it may sound like "not big deal" when we talk about it once per minute (yet, it's still an issue, that isn't present in stock wordlclock). Ho ever, if we enable nice little feature of showing seconds with worldclock opened, such "redraw" happen every second, keeping CPU on (unacceptable) 10% usage.

100% working - yet not ideal - workaround for it, is to disable background image - without it, the "redraw" doesn't happen, and CPU overhead isn't present. Of course, "proper" fix would require to eliminate this "redraw" problem for worldclock with background. Yet, as it's just purely visual, feature-less thing (background image), I'm sure it can be just deleted, unless someone will introduce proper fix.

I'm sure ade will be able to explain it using more proper "coder" language, yet i hope it's understandable enough now.

Re: N900 clock replacement [continued]
 

I can :)
- Some people want seconds in the clock, some don't
- Drawing seconds in landscape takes about 10% cpu when there is a background image
- There is no background image in potrait mode
