waze not work

damagedspline | # 302 | 2012-07-06, 22:19 | Report

the freeze that occurs in bad connectivity condition is known. i am currrntly working on somefixes to the network layer that might affect it for good, but to be fully fixed it requires a much larger fix which i plan to do as part of the ui rewrite.
it takes a lot of time and as it seems, the next release (network fixes only) won't be in the coming week. sorry.

My N9 schema attached. Basically, I changed [Map] Background to black, [Sea] Color to dark blue and made [Freeways], [Highways] and [Streets] all one shade of grey darker.

Now just need a way to set this permanently.

Thanks!
I will add the schema tomorrow. How would u like to name it (so it'll be in the menu)? OLED Optimized? Optimus Gingus (thus having part of ur username in it)? something else?

I think just 'AMOLED' would be fine.

That's the term Nokia use in the N9 specs.

Added.
Just one last thing remain. It needs an icon for the selection list in the menu, can you please create one? It should be similar to the icons in /opt/waze/data/skins/default/schema*.png
For now I have simply copied schema8.png as is and named it schema9.png so it will have the same icon as the "Map Editors" schema.

If you can't do it (GIMP/photoshop are the best apps to do it), I'll do it in the weekend. Shouldn't take more then half an hour.

How is the one I have attached?

Regarding the name of the colour scheme, I didn't realize there were 8 different Day colour schemes, I thought there were only 'Day' and 'Night'.

I see now that there is more space for the name, so how about 'AMOLED Optimized'?

Will this scheme be able to be active during the day and night? It won't be good if Waze reverts to the generic 'Night' scheme, which will then be brighter than this one.

I have now added a small change that will make day/night irrelevant in AMOLED optimized mode.

One more thing: Since this is only valid for N9 and not the N950, I cannot make it a default for Meego builds. So after installation, anyone who wishes to use it will have to set it manually in the Map Settings -> Map color scheme.

If N9 users like the new scheme, is there a way of detecting the device programmatically and setting it as the default scheme for N9 devices, but still allowing users to override it?
