[Announce]n9 Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
1 Attachment(s)
Here it is a modded hildon-desktop that make your app menu looks like the n9's!
Give it a try and tell me what you think :D

Here are some images!
Portrait:

Landscape:
http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...psa454b5a3.png

For installing use these commands on terminal:
Code:
root
cd /home/user/MyDocs
dpkg -i hildon-desktop_2.2.153~1_armel.deb
killall hildon-desktop
P.S: For seeing the full name of the icons you have to change the font! If you will find a nice font just let us know, so we can use it as well! (if somebody has n9's font for n900 maybe could upload it here!)

Haha yeah these old good days :p
Coderus had also added if I am right some swipe to symbian too!
But then he bought a n9 and he didn't do anything else about symbian(I wouldn't as well if I was him...).

So if it was possible on symbian, I think that it is on maemo as well! :D

Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
Is there any way to do this by editing the hd-launcher-grid from the source code of the hildon desktop?
Here is the file from the source code I am talking about.

Better use cssu version. Check 118 line in hd-launcher-grid.c and 82,83 in hd-launcher-tile.h

This is a nice find ;)
But this is just about the columns on portrait and on landscape, there should be something similar for the rows right?

elros34 2013-08-05 22:30
Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
rest is in hd-launcher-tile.h

bill_klpd 2013-08-05 22:35
Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
Should we change this too?
HD_LAUNCHER_GRID_LEFT_DISMISSAL_AREA_PORTRAIT (64)
on the hd-launcher-grid.c on line 123,124??

Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod

How did you made it working for the n900?
Do I have to do what the INSTALL file says?
I have the source on my linux virtual desktop, but I don't really know how to make it a deb or something working for the n900 :p

Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
You must have maemo sdk.

bill_klpd 2013-08-05 22:49
Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
I have it... It is in my virtual desktop :D
Maybe some instruction could be useful...

elros34 2013-08-05 22:56
Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
I'm not an expert. I remeber that you have cssu thumb so:
http://wiki.maemo.org/CSSU-thumb_too...cc4.7.2-linaro)
then in scratchbox:
/scratchbox/login
apt-get build-dep hildon-desktop
apt-get source hildon-desktop
cd hildon-desktop*
edit files
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

bill_klpd 2013-08-06 00:39
Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
I have managed to do this on the sdk :D
You are right about the names, I will see what I can do!
Thanks elros34 for your help!

bill_klpd 2013-08-06 01:02
Re: (Help)Menu Grid Mod
 
Here is a small sample of how it looks like on the sdk :D

Re: [Pre-Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
How can I make a deb file of the source code for arm??
I am able to make only a deb for i386 but I can't make a deb for the n900... It only works on the sdk via the scratchbox...

6x4 is better for the names ;)
maybe 7x3 or 7x4 can get done with smaller font size??

elros34 2013-08-07 00:24
Re: [Pre-Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
I guess but I prefer actual size of font.

elros34 I have a problem...
Using the command:
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage -d

on i386 works great and it makes the .deb files, but on the armel it gives me this afters some lines:
Code:
checking whether to enable a11y... checking for pkg-config... /scratchbox/tools/bin/pkg-config
ac_cv_enable_a11y: Forced off.
ac_cv_enable_a11y: Have pkg-config: /scratchbox/tools/bin/pkg-config
ac_cv_enable_a11y: /scratchbox/tools/bin/pkg-config --exists cail failed
no
checking for MB2... configure: error: Package requirements (libmatchbox2-0.1) were not met:

No package 'libmatchbox2-0.1' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables MB2_CFLAGS
and MB2_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

make: *** [config.status] Error 1
Do you have any solution for this?

elros34 2013-08-07 00:32
Re: [Pre-Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
apt-get build-dep hildon-desktop

Re: [Pre-Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
Here is the 7x3 menu grid like n9's with a smaller font form the theme customizer, with a harmattan icon pack and with an edited transition.ini file(this is why the background is black)!

Here it is in landscape!

And here it is portrait!

Re: [Pre-Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
wow, thats awesome. This is what i always wanted my menu to be like. See these are the small things that make nokia n900 a perfectly lovable device, not the developer things.

bill_klpd 2013-08-07 11:42
Re: [Pre-Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
I found a "bug"! When you are editing the menu you see the menu with 5x3 grid instead of the modded one!
http://i1283.photobucket.com/albums/...ps78c4026a.png

like this!
Does anyone know what files have the settings of the grid on the editing mode??Maybe the hd-launcher-editor?

I don't really have a problem with this... I had a similar problem on landscape with 7x3 but I almost solved it!

Re: [Announce]Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
I added some newer images on first post and a deb file so you can have it on your phone ;)

Re: [Announce]n9 Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
Hi bill
can we make it to 4 instead of 5 or 7 rows
it will be good to have bigger icons as the default one seems very small
btw thank you for being innovative and for your contribution

I am not really sure if I understood what you mean about the icons :p but I was thinking about the hildon bar as well and maybe it is possible ;)

Re: [Announce]n9 Menu Grid Mod for n900
 
Ok here it is :p
Can you compile it with thumb, because I have to make the new target on the scratchbox for the thumb! (maybe I will do it later today)
