App Delayed: Missed call alert

[ageraldnaveen]

I was just close to publishing an app for "missed call alert". But it is continuously failing to pass my sanity test for the past one week. One problem or the other.

One of the major problems is that, when the flip is closed, the application does not wake up on time; this seems little out of my control, and I guess some tweak has been done internally not to wake up GUI applications when the flip is closed (not sure of this theory). But one thing is sure, and is wierd is, the behaviour is not predictive. It seems to vary everyday and everytime, and thats the biggest problem I have. I think this same problem existed in the missed call alert app for E680 also. I have a work-around, just want to implement and try out! Any suggestions??.

I also need a way to play .wav files (alert tone) using a binary. I guess E680 has something called "player" (found from the missed call alert app for E680). That does not seem to be there in A780. Currently I have coded to use mplayer, but looks like mplayer might not exist, or its path might be variable... I have left it configurable to the user for now.

So you can expect one such app soon.. just wanted the fans know, that the app they wanted is on its way.

This app will work closely with my next version of gerald_vibe, to track missed calls. So you need to upgrade gerald_vibe also to make this work fine. Stay tuned !

Just want to create some ripple in the for-sometime-silent forum! :P

Playing a short *.wav file with mplayer? E680i have alertprocess binary in /usr/SYSqtapp/phone, can play *.mid and *.wav file.

here is my Misscall alert create by lin script. I modiflied from gaixixion's MCA. It's had the same problem as your. I have no solution yet. when testing first or second time it's work fine. but after leave it run a long time MCA doesn't work. looklike it stopped working.

@eakrin: thats great. I have not tested this script though. Does it provide vibration and sound? If so, I will get tips as to how to play a sound file. May be I could merge this and what i've done to give an useful app.

original MCA is only sound, led blinking and virating by wav. I added ezxdialog to display MCA status.

btw can u create a vibre binary that can run in command line. it's may very useful for A780 lin script application.

#vibre 5 <- for vibre 5 sec

@ageraldnaveen:
Please test this version for E680, it works even when blank out screen or phone is locked. Also, it gives alert when you attempt to run the apps more than twice..
hints: don't let "sleep" value more than 5 other than, it will really "sleep".

and please do me a favor:
1. how can I build a binary for this? I work with Fedora Core 5.
2. How can I make .mtf file and .mpkg? I just remember "tar -zcvf .. ect.."
Millions thanks go to you.

my vibe app, does not work on E680 unfortunately I tried a way around, but could not succeed.

regarding mpkg, its just a tar.gz file. For file/folder structure inside mpkg, i think eakrin has explained it beautifully in my gerald_vibe thread (for a780). I started doing based on that only.
