Charging LED Clock : Modifies the charging LED pattern to indicate time !

Charging LED Clock modifies the charging LED pattern to indicate time : The charging and battery full LED batterns blink to indicate the current hour and minute with 5 minute precision.

concept:
time display with LED. When the phone is on charge.

Why do you want?
when I go to sleep.I usually put my phone (N900) away from me.
because I can turn the alarm off in my sleep.
is convenient when you can see the time at a distance.

implementation
use Morse code (only idea morse code)
12 hour 57 minute
looks like this: -** -----****(*)** //- long signal LED * short signal LED (*)signal brighter //

does not look very comfortable.
offer a minute rounded up a dozen
that is
12 hour 57 minute = 1 hour (code: *)
4 hour 16 minute = 4 hour 20 minute (code: **** **)
9 hour 33 minute = 9 hour 30 minute (code: ****(*)**** ***)
12 hour 22 minute = 12 hour 20 minute (code: -* **)
3 hour 42 minute = 3 hour 40 minute (code: *** ****)

Sleeppy : using accelerometer data for the optimal triggering the alarm.

sleeppy  is a bio-alarm clock that analyzes your sleep patterns and wakes you when you are in the lightest sleep phase.

Waking up in the lightest sleep phase feels like waking without an alarm clock - it is a natural way to wake up where you feel rested and relaxed.

Since you move differently in bed during the different phases, Sleep Cycle uses the accelerometer in your phone to monitor your movement to determine which sleep phase you are in.

Alarmed : Scheduling App (supports automatic GPRS data counter resetting)

Alarmed is a small (???) App that acts as a GUI front-end to maemos alarmd scheduler back-end. It's written in python and uses the PySide bindings to Qt. (PySide is under heavy development at the moment and is both unstable and unreliable. A major new release is expected within weeks or months which will fix some of the knows issues with Alarmed.)

Alarmed enables you to do things like:

- Set a command to be executed at specific intervals (every minute, hourly, on specific weekdays, on last day of month etc...)
- Set recurring alarms
- Reset the GPRS data counter at a specific day every month or at the end of the month
- More stuff like this

 

 

WARNING: This is very much alpha: It crashes, has bugs, and it might do weird things (including - however unlikely - completely bricking your device). Do NOT use it if you expect it to work properly. Also read everything in this post before installing it! All of the known issues I can't do anything about except possibly workaround, as they're caused by bugs in PySide and pymaemo.

Planned future features:

- Support for intervals in seconds/minutes/hours etc.
- Better list of current items (waiting for new PySide release because of missing functions)
- Built-in functions for switching to the "General" or "Silent" profiles respectively
- Check if command is valid, possibly support for command line arguments
- Built-in function for sending SMS/Email

Known issues/bugs:

- Long startup time: Due to the current PySide implementation (boost). Will get much better once the new release is out (called Shiboken).
- Segfault (crash) after opening "New Event" or "Edit" three times or more: Bug in PySide, sorry
- Slightly weird banners: Bug in PR1.1 Qt, will be fixed in PR1.2 Qt.
- Adding a D-Bus call does not work: Bug in pymaemo, can't do anything about that.
- Command exec does not support command line arguments. Restriction in alarmd. You'll need to write a script and put it somewhere to execute a command with arguments.
