[Announce] Enhanced lockscreen - maemo.org

MohammadAG | # 1 | 2011-06-24, 19:50 | Report

This is actually a work in progress, the UI isn't final but it's something I've always wanted

v0.2:

Open to suggestions (UI or features), I wanted a slider instead of a button to unlock the device, but the default Qt slider looks crappy at best.

Devs: The package actually contains some system backends (which I plan to add MeeGo/Harmattan support to later on, something like Qt Mobility, but for stuff like the mediaplayer/profiles etc).

Also, I need to add notifications support (missed calls/messages etc.)

It should be in -devel soon (20 minutes max), package name is enhanced-lockscreen.

Me and Venemo are planning a Nokia Bubbles rewrite, just thought I'd say that

Any chance of copying the N9's double tap to open as another forum user as just requested?

Good grief. I waited for a long time for someone to make this. You're the best MAG. I demand nokia that they should hand a N950 for you so that meego's future will looks brighter

Yes, the hardware is there in the N900 (as joerg_rw or ShadowJK pointed out), it's in the accelerometer (detecting taps, as on the Nokia E66), but the driver doesn't have support for it, and I'm not qualified to write/fix the existing driver.

MAG, if you manage to make the unlock button a slider and also increase the size of the media player buttons, then it should be possible to control playback "blindly" (with the phone in the pocket for example).

How does that work with a resistive touchscreen? Wouldn't you risk accidental unlocks?

yes, the accelerometer can detect taps and even double taps, but need configuration for the 2 (3) parameters tap direction, tap strength (threshold), (and double tap time distance). The kernel driver in stock maemo kernel doesn't support this afaik, I think it could get augmented for that without breaking the API - could go to powerkernel.

@Mag

I have a request..is it possible to make our N900 unlock screen showup on double tapping...its sucks to do a physical button action to bring up the unlock screen

the enhanced lockscreen looks awesome though..many thanks
