Okey perfect. I guess I just need to make sure my phone is charged decently before I head out then and install this app and I'll be okay :)

Hey Wolke, I also wondered if I can lock it in lock screen with the volume up ( just the opposite of waking it up low power screen) and have it work like normal once I'm in.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

lock it while IN lock screen? sorry, i dont follow.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

btw, unlocking is not a built-in part of n9bm.

you will need to find a script that works for your flavor {inception, open mode, open mode + aegis-neutered kernel, whtaever}.

then simply put cmd(/home/user/MyDocs/unlock-script.sh) in the n9bm conf file.

I mean if you double tap it you're in lock screen, then if it is buggy and I can't slide the screen to "get in" I could just double volume it and screen goes black and then I do it once more and I see lock screen again so I can slide it and get in.

As I said sometimes my phone is buggy and then I have to wait until screen goes black (a few sec) to try it again and see if sliding registers.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

ah. i was already assuming that you wanted vol+ to unlock it from the lock screen AND the low-power-screen. that makes more sense, right?

Sure! Why not!! :)
Although a single press on volume button for lock screen would be nice, cause i got meecast widget installed there just left of clock which looks really nice imo. Although as long as double tap works for seeing it it's okay too.

How would I go about making this work? All I have is fastern9 installed (and alternative os at boot, nitdroid, which I never use)

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

first, tackle the problem of getting a command the locks/unlocks that works for you. heres mine:

Code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

#Copyright 2012 Elliot Wolk

#License: GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE v3 or later, at your choice

use strict;

use warnings;



my $usage = "Usage:

  $0 or $0 [-t|--toggle|toggle]

    simulates pushing the power-button

  $0 [-g|--get|get]

    prints locked or unlocked, or exits with error code

    determined by dbus method com.nokia.mce.request.get_tklock_mode

  $0 [-l|--lock|lock]

    if 'get' returns unlocked, simulates pushing the power-button

  $0 [-u|--unlock|unlock]

    if 'get' returns locked, simulates pushing the power-button

";



sub getLock(){

  my @cmd = qw(dbus-send

    --system

    --print-reply

    --type=method_call

    --dest=com.nokia.mce

    /com/nokia/mce/request

    com.nokia.mce.request.get_tklock_mode

  );



  my $tklockMode = `@cmd`;

  if($tklockMode =~ /string "(locked|unlocked)"/){

    return $1;

  }else{

    die "Error- couldnt understand dbus reply '$tklockMode'\n";

  } 

}



sub powerButton(){

  my $EVENT_POWER_KEY='\x74\x00';

  my $POWERBUTTON_EVENT_FILE='/dev/input/pwrbutton';

  my $EVENT_TIMESTAMP='\x48\x67\x98\x45\x5f\x16\x0b\x00';

  my $EVENT_KEY_TYPE='\x01\x00';

  my $EVENT_PRESS_VALUE='\x01\x00\x00\x00';

  my $EVENT_RELEASE_VALUE='\x00\x00\x00\x00';



  my $bytes = join '', (

    $EVENT_TIMESTAMP,

    $EVENT_KEY_TYPE,

    $EVENT_POWER_KEY,

    $EVENT_PRESS_VALUE,

    $EVENT_TIMESTAMP,

    $EVENT_KEY_TYPE,

    $EVENT_POWER_KEY,

    $EVENT_RELEASE_VALUE,

  );



  system "printf \"$bytes\" > $POWERBUTTON_EVENT_FILE";

}



sub main(@){

  my $arg = shift;

  $arg = '--toggle' if not defined $arg;

  die $usage if @_ > 0;

  if($arg =~ /^(-t|--toggle|toggle)$/){

    powerButton;

  }elsif($arg =~ /^(-l|--lock|lock)$/){

    powerButton if getLock eq 'unlocked';

  }elsif($arg =~ /^(-u|--unlock|unlock)$/){

    powerButton if getLock eq 'locked';

  }elsif($arg =~ /^(-g|--get|get)$/){

    print getLock() . "\n";

  }else{

    die $usage;

  }

}



&main(@ARGV);

i have NO IDEA if this works without open mode.
to test it out, save it as lock.pl and copy it to MyDocs.

test it in a terminal by running: perl ~/MyDocs/lock.pl

if that locks your phone, then it works.

after that, install n9bm, and make sure it works for you by going into low-power-screen and holding down volume-up. the torch should come on.

THEN, modify the config file: /home/user/.config/n9-button-monitor.ini and add this line:

action=cmd(perl /home/user/MyDocs/lock.pl),volumeUp,doubleClick,screenLocked

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

ok, so the word on the street is that you need probably inception to do this.

install inception, {look up how to do this, theres plenty of resources available}, and then run the lock script with ariadne like this:
ariadne perl /home/user/MyDocs/lock.pl

if that works, you can stick that in your n9bm config file.

if that doesnt work, try poking around the inception thread and asking how to lock/unlock with a command as user in closed mode.

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

cool!

I almost am a complete noob about this. How do I actually save your text/script into a .pl file that I need to transfer to my phone?

Re: [Anounce] [N9] Volume/Power Button Monitor

you can either open up a text editor, paste it in, save it.
or just download it directly with this link:
