Okay, so this only works some of the time and I haven't quite figured out the pattern just yet.

Just because I turn on the Auto Update, which it always will do, sometimes it seems like it's not actually running.

Do I need to launch some process to kick start this thing going every time?

I would love to hear back from someone on this.

It's running perfectly right now and giving me instant notifications for both email and SMS messages.

Could someone stab a guess as to what process is running this update check and how to kick start it without going to the Application-->Email program?

Don't use modest and rarely use claws for email tasks but why are you running metalayer-crawler? Do you use media player? If not, you can use asui-settings : services to uncheck and stop it.

Thanks A.

I just reflashed yesterday and totally forgot about metalayer-crawler.

Addison | # 105 | 2011-09-21, 00:25 | Report

Yes! I think I definitely got it now.

It was just a matter of stopping MCE, changing the notification values, then restarting MCE and restoring the brightness settings along with auouymous' set-backlight script.

Turning on 1 minute notifications:

Code:

blank=`gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout`
/etc/init.d/mce stop
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/modest/update_interval 1
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/modest/auto_update True
sudo /etc/init.d/mce start
/usr/bin/set-backlight `gconftool-2 --get /apps/adv-backlight/brightness`
restore_value()
{
  gconftool-2 --type $1 --set $2 `gconftool-2 --get $2`
}
gconftool-2 -t int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout 120
gconftool-2 -t int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout $blank
restore_value int /system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout
restore_value bool /system/osso/dsm/locks/touchscreen_keypad_autolock_enabled
restore_value bool /system/osso/dsm/display/display_on_with_charger

Turning it off:

Code:

bank=`gconftool-2 -g /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout`
/etc/init.d/mce stop
gconftool-2 --type boolean --set /apps/modest/auto_update False
sudo /etc/init.d/mce start
/usr/bin/set-backlight `gconftool-2 --get /apps/adv-backlight/brightness`
restore_value()
{
  gconftool-2 --type $1 --set $2 `gconftool-2 --get $2`
}
gconftool-2 -t int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout 120
gconftool-2 -t int -s /system/osso/dsm/display/display_blank_timeout $blank
restore_value int /system/osso/dsm/display/display_dim_timeout
restore_value bool /system/osso/dsm/locks/touchscreen_keypad_autolock_enabled
restore_value bool /system/osso/dsm/display/display_on_with_charger

Oh, and auouymous, I don't use any of these mail apps either.

I'm only using it for the LED alerts so I no longer have to check my Gmail account anymore.

Did ASUI break your system?

Addison | # 107 | 2011-09-21, 00:51 | Report

No. Not at all. In fact, I wish that I would have jumped on your incredible app a long time ago!

What happened was that I got a little carried away and kept installing junk until I was left with only 1 kb in flash memory.

Oops!

By the way, if there's any way to incorporate the above scripts into ASUI, that would be fantastic.

It basically works just like Google Talk on my Windows PC.

If you forward your Google Voice messages to your gmail account, you'll receive instant notifications on all new messages, SMS, Voice Mail, missed calls, and emails.

You could do this before, but now, you no longer have that 5 minute delay, and when texting with someone, this makes a huge difference.

Starting and stopping MCE in ASUI, not going to happen. Restarting MCE causes more problems than you think, such as bringing up the device lock keypad and might cause alarmd problems.

After 0.6.0 is released I plan on adding 4 (maybe more) half widgets (the clock is a half widget, volume is a full widget) to ASUI that can each hold 2 buttons. I will also be adding 4-6 command buttons that you can set commands to run as root or user and give them a name and maybe an icon. You'll be able to move any button between the button bars and the new button widgets. Then you can put your scripts in files and call them from buttons in ASUI.

the number of button half widgets and command buttons can easily be increased if anyone thinks there should be more.

That's a great idea!

Most likely I'll use those slot widgets to change different profiles for Xbindkeys.

I tend to use Quickswitch the most.

But the hardware keys sometimes need to go back to default when playing music.

I also have a setup for right clicks to be used with SCUMM and Dosbox.

So yeah, this will definitely come in handy for me.

Addison | # 110 | 2011-09-25, 04:57 | Report

This one should be easy.

In my script I'm doing a bunch of junk and then at the end of it I'm launching

/opt/adom/adom

The thing is, this adom file reports not being able to find qemu-i386.

If I do this in Xterm

cd /opt/adom
./adom

this works just fine.

How can I get this same result in my script?
