Default settings for the Handset UX

Meego Conference Release

• Bluetooth: off by default (kallam), not done yet

  • Structure home screen icons to correct order, see above (Sage, mirek), NOT DONE YET
  • Finalize correct icons for applications (from base theme)(mirek), DONE
• Theme improvements
  • Work on DE theme, and fix UI glitches and bad usability (see META bug, mirek), mostly done.
  • New wallpaper for SF2011? (wazd?), DONE
• Splash screens (msugano)
  • kernel message appears on the boot splash (msugano: this was solved in the smia driver, error level reduced for certain messages, KERN_ALERT to KERN_INFO).
  • Boot splash screen should stay on screen until device booted (msugano: the bootsplash is wiped away once X windows starts. what about X->xsetroot->mcompositor?)
  • Looks OK for now (Jukka)
  • Shutdown splash should stay on screen until device is powered off
  • Weird behaviour while shutdown, not done.
• Backlight behaviour (lamikr/done)
  • Increase the timeout to 1min (done)
  • Backlight should turn off only when power button is released. When powering the device off (keeping power button pressed), backlight shouldn't turn off (done)
  • Backlight should not dim while booting, before the device is fully booted so that user sees when that happens (done)
• Automatic lock (lamikr/done)
  • Screen and keys should be locked automatically after a time-out (done)

  • Power button is used to toggle backlight, and for powering on and off (lamikr/done)
  • Lock key works (lamikr/done)
  • Camera key starts the Camera application (joonasta)
  • Volume can be controlled with volume keys during call (jpeltonen)
• Media content
  • Based on community contribution, can we have open source videos, ringtones, audio and images? (ask from karoliina salminen)

Alpha Release

• Theme: Development (ie. base theme), should show the new colourful new icons instead of default MeeGo ones. OK, there is a new DE theme based on base theme.

  • Changing wallpaper from Settings should work
• Quick bar: Dialer, SMS, Browser, Camera
• Application grid: Dialer, SMS, Browser, Camera, Settings first and then the rest.
  • remove current duplicate browser icons
