SHR-U no longer uses SIM contacts, but shr-settings can now import from

Editing contacts is somewhat clunky, but at least it is possible now.

And the volume sliders for phonecalls works again, and seem to
be remembered from call to call too. :-)

What remains, is a way to set the timing for screen dimming.
No :-)
Before the stepwise dimming, one could simply set the timeout.
When stepwise dimming first appeared, nothing could be done.
Then, and upgrade brought new settings, so I could set the
time to first dimming as well as the delay between steps.
Perfect configurability! But the upgrades that brought
all the other good stuff, _reverted_ the power settings. (why?)
1) You can configure the timing in /etc/fsodeviced.conf (actually it is
in /etc/freesmartphone/conf/GTA02/fsodeviced.conf, but that is
overwritten on updates, so copy it to /etc/fsodeviced.conf). The
brightness levels are configured in /etc/phonefsod.conf
Thanks for the tips.
Seems I don't have a /etc/fsodeviced.conf.
I'll try making one, or did you mean one of:
/etc $ find . -name "fsodeviced*"
./freesmartphone/conf/default/fsodeviced.conf
./freesmartphone/conf/openmoko_gta/fsodeviced.conf
./freesmartphone/conf/htc_qualcomm_msm/fsodeviced.conf
./freesmartphone/conf/htc_qualcomm_dream/fsodeviced.conf
./dbus-1/system.d/fsodeviced.conf
./init.d/fsodeviced
2) fsodeviced was buggy in that it did not save the timing changes. That
was fixed by mickey and changes through shr-settings should be
persistent on a new shr-U (not shr-T yet though). If that does not work,
it is a bug.
I understand that shr-settings doesn't always keep up with new features,
but why didn't the stepwise dimming simply use the existing backlight
timeout as the timeout for the first backlight reduction step? That'd be
a backwards compatible way of adding this feature.
AFAIK, it does. It dims on the first "idle" step and dims further on
"idle_dim", I think.
Hm. If this is so, then perhaps shr-settings entries can be renamed?
"idle dim" sounds like the timeout till the screen dims, but that is
"idle". But "idle" doesn't say what happens at all.
Anyway, changing those in shr-settings doesn't help right now. I
upgraded unstable today. If I change "idle", close the window and
re-opens it, then idle is back to the old setting. And the timing
doesn't change either. Maybe because /etc/fsodeviced.conf was missing?
