@Copernicus

Do you think pierogi could be used to generate the codes to enable hidden service menu of LG tv?

Yes; in fact, I've had the service menu and factory reset controls for LG TVs (and a few other brands) in Pierogi for a while now, I've just been too worried about people accidentally (or purposefully!) turning Pierogi into a TV-destroying tool. But when I updated the Macros last year, I made every control in Pierogi available, including the more dangerous ones. Use with caution!

Here's a little Pierogi Macro XML file that should make button #1 on the Macros control panel send the "service menu" command for the current keyset (assuming that that keyset has a service menu command defined):

Code:

<? xml version=1.0 ?>

<macropack name="Factory Controls">

 <macro name="Service Menu" button="1">
  <send key="Service Menu"/>
 </macro>

</macropack>

Save this as a file somewhere on your N900, and then load it into Pierogi by selecting "Load New Pack" from the Macros panel.

And here's a link to more Pierogi Macro documentation:

Well, it has finally happened. The end is upon us. This may be a portent of the final days of mankind!

Alright, not really.

But, after endless procrastination, I have gone ahead and finally promoted Pierogi version 1.1 up into Extras-Testing. If you feel that it is ready to be promoted all the way up into Extras, please do give it some testing, and then go to the Pierogi Extras-Testing package page and vote it up.

Or, if you feel that it needs more work, vote it down (and please do tell me why).

Thanks!

(And yeah, this is not the end at all -- lots more work to be done in the future, such as improved macros, the proposed support for human-readable config files, a massively updated UI to support rotation, and more...)

Thanks for a really useful app!

I'm using LG TV Keyset 1 and want to activate the Service Menu, when I do the "Load New Pack", I get the following error:

Code:

QXmlStreamReader returned error. Expected '[a-zA-Z]', but got ''.

Ah, sorry, I'm being sloppy with my XML. (I guess I should test before I post!) That first line (the xml version tag) needs to be written in a very specific way -- no spaces around the question marks, and double quotes around the version number. So, this should be a valid XML file (and I did test this time):

Code:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<macropack name="Factory Controls">

 <macro name="Service Menu" button="1">
  <send key="Service Menu"/>
 </macro>

</macropack>

Yeah, I've actually got that "lock screen automatically" unticked myself.

I'm not sure exactly how to implement that on a per-app basis, though (or if it can be done at all). I'll do a little research.
