Perhaps a mail on the -dev list requesting the name lookup mechanism would be good.
It could be useful in other scenarios too - like with fiferboys 3g data transfer logging app.

If it could group the transferred data by provider (for people who roam) it could provide a useful metric.

@Andre

Will rename - but just the visible name, if I start to rename files and the actual package name, it will cause problems for those who have it already installed.

@lcuk

The headers for libconnui should be available but Nokia probably think they're too big an asset. With them, one can pretty much control the cellular parts. I certainly will not hold my breath hoping that Nokia will open-source them; for code that they have had to release due to it being GPL, they've used the same workarounds as I.

For fiferboy, he has to access GConf manually (for the data regarding sent/recieved totals) instead of being able to use the lovely functions Nokia provided in their library w/out headers.

Hiya,

It's still in extras-devel. If you do not have it enabled, open this with the N900 browser which will enable extras-devel and offer to install the applet, automatically. Remember to disable extras-devel when done, and a reboot is required before it will load up.

And, linking to qgil's warning about extras-devel is also rather quite apt: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=343619

Good man.

Excellent app BTW. This is the number one requested cell phone hack regardless of model since I have been active in the cell phone forums.

No need for any other purpose. If you keep it just like it is, I believe it will be the #1 down load in a very short time if the N900 takes off with the general public.

Dude, you should keep churning out these gems and offer them up as a collection called qwerty12's Utilities. You will end up being the dang Peter Norton of Maemo.

It's a closed, stuck thread but I can remove it if you request it to be.

Also, Also: Is your most excellent wmlbrowser plugin package going to be available for the N900?

Quick question regarding the uninstallation of this application -

When i remove the application it still sits in my settings list under personalisation for a while. Every time i open the settings windows the option will appear for a few seconds and then disappear.

Any ideas as to why the menu thinks it is there and then realises it isn't?

Maemo 5 has a "feature" where a program can take a screenshot when exiting and that screenshot will be shown the next time the program is started - during its loading, that is.

But the Control Panel application is rather **** at updating its screenshot; run "rm -f /home/user/.cache/launch/com.nokia.controlpanel.pvr" to delete its screenshot manually. The next time the Control Panel is started, it will generate a new screenshot.

Hint: read the thread. The solution is a few posts up before yours.

Hey, thanks for the app it works great.

Although if I may suggest something, would it be possible to have the option to let the custom operator name display only when one is in their home network and not roaming?

That would help me avoid some unnecessary roaming charges.
Thanks for making apps like these
