HOLd - HOLD daemon
« on: September 22, 2010, 04:11:47 pm »
Version 0.2!

Hello!
Here's a program which turns off LCD backlight and make current running application sleep if the HOLD button pressed and enables again if unpressed.
The code is very, very bad(I think) because that's my first application on C.
Enjoy! And feel free to rewrite it as it really should be!

To autostart add to /local/sbin/main before "./gmenu2x" following:
/boot/path/to/hold &

just so people don't complain, he never said it locks the buttons, just turns off the backlight

someone's bound to complain about the buttons still working while the screens off.

if it's truly the first thing you've written in c you're nuts, unless of course you skipped learning c and went straight for c++ or something :P

if it would also block the keys and not only disable the backlight but also the LCD itselfe, it would be a nice sleep mode :)

Maybe it is just my workplace which is anal?

maybe do some hacking on the gpio pins, if you set them as outputs, and gave them a value of 1 (pretty sure the buttons pull them low, can't remember though), it could work, though that's a long shot in every sense of long

really you'd need to dig into the actual keymappings of the buttons and check for the hold button

or maybe try remapping the hold switch to something like alt, then if you press one fo teh other buttons you'll get things like alt+right ctrl etc, depending on how it's all coded it could work

drop by #dingoonity on freenode, usually some clever sods lurking there :D

Hello again!
http://rghost.ru/2930182
This is v0.2.

I have really no idea how to make a button lock, but I've done an application sleep mode when the hold slider slided down.
It would work for most programs except audio players and something like this.

Put scripts into /local/gmenu2x folder

I did not test it yet, but reading the code I see that you basically pause all the apps running and then continue the processes when requested. Simple and nice!  :)

I was reading how to do it last week (pausing all the processes), and was thinking about using your old code as a base to do almost the same thing you did :P, but I was stuck in the part of calling the script from a C app.

Anyway, are you planning to update again with something more?

It ends in .ru. Anything ending in .ru or .cn is pretty much guaranteed to be blocked by products like Trend Micro...

Thanks ValdikSS for this simple yet very usefull app.

Since i cant lower the backlight (buzzing noise), i need it to be 100%. But the app seems to read only 2 bytes of the backlight value. So instead of returning 100%, it returns 10%. I hex-edited the executable from "cut -b 11-12" to "cut -b 11-13". And yay, that worked.

Thanks again ValdikSS.

Edit: In case anyone would like this. I have uploaded it to RGHost.
Edit2: Btw, compiling is easy, but hexediting 1 byte is easier ;)
