screensaver for joggler (stock OS)

[deviousrich]

Hi,

i did make a screensaver for Tango (stock OS) which enables dimming of display after a certain time and configurable to show date in different formats etc (all integrated to the openpeak SDK).

i wasnt sure if anyone here would be interested with it if i dusted it off?
i was thinking the next version might include linking into the mod PnP II installed so it automatically turned off the display rather than just dimming it.

im currently using it so i can use the stock OS as a bedside clock without any mods (save my general hacking)

anyone interested?

Sounds cool for those bedside jogglers.
Deffo worth looking at having this on PMP III.
I for one would like to see this working.
Could you put this in a post or link to it when you feel it is ready?
Cheers

sure, ive just ordered a second joggler so i can continue development. i'll have a look at how the PnP does the screen off, i presume via the linux command with xutils installed but i'll take a look and get back to you.

added my current version (attached).

(unzip the swf before you copy it to your joggler!)

just dump it into gui->screensavers and edit the screensavers.xml to add
<screensaver>
<file>rgTest.swf</file>
<title>RG test</title>
<description>test</description>
</screensaver>

before the end </list>
and it should be good to go

to edit the settings start it once (so it creates the defaults) and then go edit gui->null_screensaver_config.txt. all self explanatory but if you brick it just delete the txt file and the screensaver will re-create it with defaults next time it kicks in

let me know what you think?

currently this dimms the backlight to as low as it goes without the xutils installed. next update will be to turn off the backlight completly
