See my post here for all the default settings in transitioncontrol (in case you need to revert to the defaults):

I experimented a bit with this a while ago and posted my settings and observations here: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...1&postcount=20

I'm not using this anymore though. All my settings got reset when I customised some theme file and I never bothered to set them again. And quite frankly, once the novelty has worn off, the difference in usability and speed is pretty much insignificant.

I actually slowed a few of the transistions down, i liked it slower, seemed much smoother and nice. but after reading this thread ive stuck all settings on 10 now i feel im on turbo mode LOL will give it a few days to see if i like it

back onto "i can't even install it", here's what my log said:

haha, now could anybody translate?

thanks guys!

It would seem you bumped in to the same problem as me, some sort of conflict between the app usbcontrol and transitioncontrol.
try to uninstall usbcontrol and then you probably would be able to install tc.. This worked for me anyway.

When I try to install this app, I get error "some application packages required for installation are missing".

Under Problems tab I get -
Application packages missing : python2.5-xml(>=0.8.4-1osso8)

What should I do?

I also installed an app which uses python like pygtkeditor. After that I was able to install Transition control. I then went to terminal and typed "root transitioncontrol" and hit enter. When I click on transition control now, it tries to open but closes on its own after 5 seconds.

yup, that was it!
thanks a bundle buddy!

How terribly sloppy. Bugs should be filed for both packages regarding this as .DS_Store is a thumbnail cache file generated by MacOS X and there's no way that should be part of any package, much less multiple packages and in the same place.

wow...way fast, even at 600mhz. then when i bumped it back to 1.15ghz, it was still smooth and fast!

ok a few days ago, i installed transition control, everything was fine.

today i overclocked my n900 to 850mhz, and since then when i go to xterminal and type 'root => transitioncontrol ' , it says :

Traceback (most recent call last) :
File "/usr.bin.transitioncontrol" , line 13 , in <module>
import osso

Importerror : no module named osso



what happened there =( ?
i was pretty sure it work out fine a few days ago...now its fxxked =(
