It is possible to set an alarm, which will be shown in the alarm window. When
the alarm expires, the phone wakes up if it is suspended, and zavai vibrates,
turns on baclight, shows a big ACK button and flashes the AUX led for 30
- seconds.
+ seconds. It also plays some music.
You can use the big button on screen or the AUX button to acknowledge the
alarm and stop all the attention-seeking activities.
- When I'll implement some audio playing infrastructure, I'll implement playing
- an audio file as well.
+ If you want to change the alarm ringtone, you can set:
+ ringtone_alarm = "file:///some/where/file.ext"
+ in ~/.zavai/config; gstreamer is used, so mostly any audio file format will
+ work. I'm not sure what will happen if you choose a video format: that might
+ work as well.
Alarms (acknowledged or not) are logged in "~/.zavai/log-alarm/". Still
missing, howerver, is a way to show that an alarm rang and noone noticed.
- interface zavai with a proper calendar system, without making the interface
harder to use (if you can).
+ * GSM
+
+ If you have a pin, add 'sim_pin = "1234"' to ~/.zavai/config
+
+ Don't start frameworkd at boot. Get rid of fso-usaged from your system (it
+ will be started by dbus when frameworkd starts, if it's there).
+
+ Now you can use zavai to turn on GSM, including powering up the antenna and
+ providing the PIN if required by the SIM.
+
+ It does not currently do anything else beside turning things on. It is useful,
+ however, to make GSM services available to simple scripts like SMS or contact
+ list dump tools.

Stability / design
Zavai currently focuses on the interface side, trying to make it easy for me
* FSO API "documentation":
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=specs.git;a=blob_plain;f=html/index.html;hb=HEAD
+using vala-dbus-binding-tool:
+
+ mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device org.freedesktop.DBus.Introspectable.Introspect > /tmp/api.xml
+ vi /tmp/api.xml
+ convert to xml:
+ remove quotes at begin and end
+ :$s/\n/^M/g
+ mkdir /tmp/foo
+ vala-dbus-binding-tool --directory=/tmp/foo --api-path=/tmp/api.xml

* Features to add:
+ - if GPS time is more than 1 minute and less than 1 hour different than the
+ system time, automatically sync it
+ if GPS time is more than 1 hour different than the system time, show a
+ "SYNC" button that will sync it if pressed
- log
- write data to disk as log happens (to have at least partial logs if power
is cut)
- more detailed GPX data (dop, elev..)
- message (structured) (json?)
+ - flash aux when there are unacknowledged log entries
- turn on/off gsm
+ start frameworkd as a subprocess, configured to only do phone
+ go through the dbus motions of turning on this and that, and entering PIN
hardcoded in zavai config
- - log and refuse incoming calls and messages
+ + GSM status on main screen (with messages while coming online, and
+ operator, power and so on)
+ - log incoming messages
+ (first as a standalone app quick to compile)
+ - log and refuse incoming calls
+ to "move" the GSM device to my laptop:
+ socat FILE:/dev/ttySAC0 TCP-LISTEN:12345,bind=192.168.0.202
+ socat TCP:192.168.0.202:12345 PTY,link=/tmp/gps,raw,echo=0
- alarm
- - play sound at alarm trigger
+ + play sound at alarm trigger
- leave expired alarm on screen until acknowledged
(alarm status icon that also brings to alarm menu)
- remember alarm names (on request, maybe with an add feature) and how
often they are triggered, and show them most frequent first
- show active alarms and allow to delete them
+ - fisheye list music player
+ (-> learn/test gstreamer libs)
+ - player page with seek/skip controls
+ - playlist editor
+ - chosen song start playing if nothing is being played
+ - chosen song moves to playlist editor: play, add to playlist, add dir to playlist
+ (show a standard list multiselectable with all the songs in the dir and
+ only the selected song selected; allow to select others, select all, add
+ selected to playlist)
+ - playlist as reorderable standard list, allow to delete tracks, reorder tracks
+ - save playlist to file to reload later
+ - pause with headset button
- audio notes
- record audio notes, logging start and stop so it gets an associated GPX
- shortcut icon in main screen
- - check gobject introspection and dynamic loading
- - there could be a basic loader core that just dynamically loads bits as
- available/needed. Only the battery icon and calendar can be loaded on a
- laptop, while on the moko one can also load the power menu.
- Different bits can effectively work as plugins, to be there or not.
- Alternative plugins can be loaded based on different technologies, too (a
- gpsd satellite monitor, or a fso satellite monitor).
- zavai does not look good in landscape mode
- replace menus with a widget taking a list of actions, which then lays
them out according to the screen size
(-> learn/test libalsamixer something)
