MohammadAG · #1 2010-08-13, 02:07

Been using the commands on http://wiki.maemo.org/Phone_control for quite some time, and dbus not being my thing I always had to check the page for the commands, so I decided to merge them all into one script, this should give you an idea what the script does:

Thanks!

jaywink · #3 2010-08-13, 06:34

nice stuff \o/

edit; I was actually going to make a script to do all the required stuff relating to an alarm clock that opens a certain radio stream, for example. I can do all that with this, including setting volume, profiles etc required

Thanks. Very good, clean and useful script.
Can this be enhanced to add lines to control the wifi chip too. I hope you plan to update this script even further.

AlMehdi · #5 2010-08-13, 07:18

Marvelous as always MuhammadAG

leojab · #6 2010-08-13, 08:07

joelsk · #7 2010-08-13, 08:16

I'll add it today, already changed the imei and imsi commands so they only display the number.

This script won't speed up the phone app, I don't see how you concluded that, it's useful for what I listed above.

Awesome.

Is there a way we can use it for SMS?

Edit: Am having trouble with speakeron and speakeroff. doesn't seem to do anything. Is it just me?

This is awesome. It works perfectly with the Queen Beecon Widget. Now I can "much" easily create buttons on my desktop that calls the a specific number immediately upon click. Well, you can do anything that's mentioned above really. Awesome. Thanks MAG.
