Not nearly enough, unfortunately.

This gets rid of some enlightenment cpu wasting, so yes - it responds 
somewhat quicker. But while 2-3s beats 8s, it is still not acceptable.

What is so hard about cutting the ringtone in 0.1s or so? The latency 
must go. The pythm music player does much better, so this is clearly 
possible.

The current phone app works, and that is good. But I am happy I don't 
get that many calls a day - the waiting is rather irritating.

What works is anything that causes E/Illume to reload.  Any change to
a .desktop file will do it.  

What I've used for a while now when editing edje themes and icons is
"killall -HUP enlightenment".  Save the lines below as Relite.desktop
and it will work. (the icon is extracted from default.edj, it's also at
http://newkirk.us/om/icon_applications_restart.png )  I think I'd find
it irritating, but I suspect this can be 'automated' by sticking the
killall command in /etc/X11/Xsession.d/99relite - maybe with a 20
second delay.

j

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Relite
Comment=Elightenment reload 
Exec=killall -HUP enlightenment
Icon=icon_applications_restart.png
Terminal=false

Re: [SHR-Testing] Slow response when answering a call

2009-03-13 Thread Dylan Reilly
1) Create a .desktop file for your script (e.g., /home/root/fix-e.desktop).
2) Tell E to run that .desktop file on startup by adding its path to
~/.e/e/applications/startup/.order.
echo "/home/root/fix-e.desktop" >> /home/root/.e/e/applications/startup/.order

I am using a script that does not require having a dummy .desktop file
lying around and seems to do the trick:

#!/bin/sh

FILENAME=/usr/share/applications/_fudge.desktop
APP="[Desktop Entry]
Name=fudge
Encoding=UTF-8
Type=Application
Comment=Fudge to make enlightenment not take such CPU time.
Exec=/bin/false
Categories=Applications"

echo "$APP" > $FILENAME
sleep 10
rm $FILENAME

That's what my thinking is.  In my initial e-mail I was contrasting
the delays between the previous SHR releases.

Understood and apologies.  I probably misunderstood a portion of an
FSO update.  Regardless, when it happens, I imagine it would greatly
help this issue.

Just to clarify and not get any hopes up: We have a long way to go
until the framework moves to a compiled language. It will definitely
not be MS6.

Hi all

I just made up a small script here :

#!/bin/sh
cp /usr/share/applications/openmoko-dialer.desktop
/tmp/openmoko-dialer.desktop
sleep 5
cp /tmp/openmoko-dialer.desktop
/usr/share/applications/openmoko-dialer.desktop

Is it ok ? If so, how can automatically load it after startup ? For now, I
am loading it with shortom.

I too agree, having this voodoo incanted shortly after e init would be
rather handy.

I just tried it, and the delay dropped to only a second or two total, so
a vast improvement.  I suppose it will get better when the framework
moves to a compiled language for FSO M6 (IIRC).

Thanks for the info guys,

question, how best to I set it up to run a script as soon as the GUI is done

Re: [SHR-Testing] Slow response when answering a call

2009-03-12 Thread W.Kenworthy
I found this is mainly due to enlightenment using too much cpu - a
workaround was posted a couple of weeks back.

copy a desktop file from /usr/share/applications to /tmp, wait a few
seconds and copy it back.  Yes, I know it is black magic, but ... it
works!

A few minutes later cpu will drop back to zero if nothing else is going
on.

[SHR-Testing] Slow response when answering a call

2009-03-12 Thread Cameron Frazier
Hello List

I'm running an up-to-date SHR-Testing image.  Upon receiving a call, I
answer it, but the phone continues to ring/vibrate for about 8-10
seconds after I accept the call, then there is another second or two of
delay before audio commences.  These delays are rather problematic as
the caller has no idea if I've picked up or if the call was dropped.

I know there is some delays in the system, but earlier SHR images (the
old testing and the older per-new-testing unstable releases) were much
quicker when responding to a call.

I'm writing this to see if there are any other users in List-land that
have similar issues and any suggestions you may have.  Right now I'm not
sure if this is a localized (re: user) issue or not.

Kind regards,

Cameron
