From the very first version of FlipSilent on Jan,20, 2008, it has attracted users from 177 countries and got 330K page views, today , it finally get SIGNED!
The main functionality of FlipSilent is to mute the call or alarm when you flip your phone over (by utilizing the accrocelemeters to detect the movement), also it can change the profile based on the position of the phone.The idea of FlipSilent comes from a Video on the S60 site (http://cn.s60.com/main/experience_touchUI_video.html). And Nokia high end phones such as Arte 8800 has preinstalled the same functionality, called “TurnToMute”, also, to the most recent news, Nokia 6210 will also have the same functionality.
Currently, it supports N95, N95 8GB and N82. Welcome to comments on how to improve, a thank you would be good motivation for my future work
When using a setting list, if you change to small font, the text will be displayed incorrectly! (Menu -> Tools -> Settings -> General -> Personalization -> Display -> Font size ).
This problem appears only on the Numbered Style Setting list, (EAknSettingItemNumberedStyle). The only way to make it look right should be not using this style…
Got the following code snippet from forum nokia wiki , one thing to take care of is that you need the SwEvent capability when there is a browser already running!
They occur when the Viewsrv active object in your, or any other, application does not respond to the view server in time. Typically 10-20 seconds is the maximum allowed response time.
Guidelines for avoiding common causes of this problem:
1, Do not have long running synchronous operations. e.g. “while (1) { GameStep(); }”.
2, Ensure that your active objects don’t swamp the scheduler. The active scheduler processes active objects strictly in priority order, and for those of the same priority, active objects added first have priority. Active objects that run often and use a lot of processing time should run at low priority. The Viewsrv active object runs at CActive::EPriorityStandard, so busy active objects should run at a lower priority. One note of warning: if you use EPriorityLow, ensure it is scoped as CActive::EPriorityLow, otherwise you may get thread priority EPriorityLow, which is actually a very high priority value for an active object!
3) Allow some CPU time for other applications.
4) Do not use User::WaitForRequest();
5) On some platforms, be aware that launching waiting dialogs (or performing other blocking actions) from ViewActivatedL(); or ViewDeactivatedL(); can also cause Viewsrv 11 panics.
Just now, I got the email from FLANDER notifying me that ShakeSMS is accepted and it has been officially Symbian Signed!
This is my first app get SymbianSigned! I have to thank Valtteri from Nokia who offered to get my freeware apps symbian signed with no cost for me
“We have noticed that your applications are one of the most popular freeware applications available for S60 3rd Edition. I’m offering you to get FlipSilent and ShakeSMS Symbian Signed certified with no cost for you. ”
Today, I got my new application VibrateCall Symbian Express Signed!
Here are some tips to be careful with when you do it the first time!
1, You need to get a publisherID (200$) and a Content ID (20$)
2, Login to www.symbiansigned.com
3, The file you submit must be in ZIP format
4, The ZIP file must contain three files: pkg, readme.txt, sis (Can’t be sisx)
5, The sis file must be signed with the TCT Publisher ID (Not the cer file generated with the DevCert Tool)
6, The sis file in the zip can’t contain Manufacture proved capabilities, I suggest that you use the minimal set of capabilities used by your program — when you are coding, you had better write down what capabilities you used, for which API and the reason for it.
I tried four times before finally succeed, hope my experience can help you when you are Express sign your sis files the first time
