It's taken me a while to get around to looking at this. Brilliant, really like it for a start but hard to find info on how to configure it. At present I can't seem to configure it to receive the SMS messages.
I've been looking through the internet with a very bad connection trying to find some info on the necessary configuration of both launcher and framework to get it to work. I unfortunately removed shr-messages from the phone as I liked the app launcher so much. Now I've got the notifications that I've received an SMS message but I've no idea where it is. Using a test sim so I'm messaging myself so I'm not missing anything anyhow ;-) I have to say I like the default screen and think that it's better then the illume app screen in shr-u. This is personal opinion but I don't think that the screen of applications I have installed is information. It only becomes information if I add an app to the phone and then it's only useful information when I add one and can see it there. I don't think I'd like my computer's desktop to just show me all the apps I have installed. I know where to find the menu to launch one though, when I need it. As I've said can't find info on launcher but my screen is showing me the time and the date, each on a line and then on a third line it's showing me a few numbers which I've no idea about. What does that info mean? I've been looking over what email I still have in my inbox on the subject of launcher and trying to piece together info. I don't think it should be that complicated though. It'd be great if people who went ahead of me and found stuff out could have updated the app launcher wiki page in the openmoko wiki, then I'd be standing on the shoulders of giants. At present all I can see are shins. Now in one of those previous emails the author (Well done on a brilliant app) mentioned that an attempt might be made to create a dbus interface to add info to the launcher home screen. Did that go anywhere? I'm interested in this as I'd like to add a simple anniversary app which could make use of this interface. I don't want to add reminders for birthdays and the like as it's a bit of work and when I do that on other phones I get reminded maybe three days before the event and then promptly forget it till the day after the event (disaster_1.0.0.bb) It'd be great if I could write a simple script which would look at my text file which contains all the dates and work out which date is next and how long I've got. Then post that info to app launcher which could put it under the time and date and maybe even color code it depending on how long I've got left. A cron job could check it when the date changes at midnight and when the phone is powered up. Obviously then I can't forget the date in question. Maybe if there were two dates very close it could put up both. Anyhow that's just be thinking out loud. Maybe other people here ain't as absent minded as me. Maybe it's an age thing ;-) Loving the launcher if I could only wire it up to receive messages ;-) _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
