pocket-home happily scales to different window sizes, but it strongly assumes the aspect ratio of the original pocketCHIP screen. We can probably tweak the grid to behave a bit better in these cases.

Hi,

I tried to set a password to my PocketCHIP.
So I go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Change Your Password and I set password for Sudo password, New password and Retype password.
Once I reboot my PocketCHIP, when the field for the password is displayed, if I type the password that I set previously, it shows "Wrong password". But when I let the field blank and I press "Log In", the home screen is displayed.

Do you have any idea to how to resolve this problem? Thanks!

I recently installed pocket home and am really enjoying it however I seem to have screwed up the configuration file with a syntax error after attempting to calibrate the screen in which the terminal opened and threw an error and wouldn't return to the quit/return home so I restarted. Will poke around the config file later to upload if I can find it.

Adding code like this to the end of assetFile will at least give the user an error in the console about what is wrong:

if(!assetFile.exists()) {
 throw std::runtime_error("Missing asset file: " + fileName.toStdString());
}

When I "sleep" my PocketCHIP and then wake it by either tapping the screen or hitting the home button, I get the login screen but without a password prompt.

So I can just hit the "Log In" button without having to enter a password, and it lets me in.

I'm running 0.0.8.9 from the .deb package.

Hello, I noticed that icons/commands do not adhere to environment variables passed into the command explicitly, or that are defined in the .bashrc.

The issue is described in better detail here

Any help would be appreciated, and if I have the time, I may be able to fix this myself with some direction.

Thank you!

Following command, described in the README.md fails with the error message:

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://pgp.mit.edu:80 --recv-keys 584F7F9F

Expected result: Commands finishes successfully.
Actual result Command fails with the following error:

Right now, SVG files get a black box drawn behind them.

I'd prefer not to perform a make install and overwrite the official pocket-home in a way that can't easily be reversed, and would prefer to build a .deb package from source and install that. I can see there is a debian package directory already in there, but I have no idea how to actually run the packager. Could you add a makefile target for it?

Option to reorganize the icons on a screen. [more than just move from right and left]

Option to display more or less than 6 icons per screen.

Option to toggle on/off on the IP address display.

Option to choose what font is used.

Option to change the color of the white display stuff, like the power button, the side arrows, time wireless...and so on [it gets hard to see on a light colored background]

when choosing the icon picture, make it so the icons are visible? instead of just names.

BUGS-

You can drag the background and image path screens around. [not sure if bug]

When adding an icon and then clicking "apply" and then trying to make another icon, you can't click apply again [still shows the "success!"], and have to back out and start over.

Hi,
Would be nice to have an option to toggle between showing battery percentage and battery voltage.

I'm wondering if there's interest from NTC upstream in importing some / all of your improvements so that they go into the "official" firmwares. Have you asked about this? Are they just busy, or actually don't want some of the changes?

Ever since I have flashed my pocket chip to v4.4 'sudo apt-get upgrade' actually downgrades pocket-home back to the orginal version.

My current work around is to delete .pocket-home/.version & re-install. Surprisingly all my settings/icons haven't changed.

with latest build AudioPluginHost process stays at top with 100% cpu time

perf top --sort comm,dso
gives next output:

1,86% AudioPluginHost AudioPluginHost

with some advises I can try investigate it deeply

The "Hide Cursor" option in the advanced settings isn't working while using the default terminal emulator: "vala-terminal". I've also tested with the "st" terminal emulator, the cursor shows even though "Not Visible" is selected.

I have the larger 5" 800x480 screen on my pocketchip. This launcher works best but the icon to change pages is right in the middle of the screen with no clear way to move it.

I'm a bit confused about the whole "login" thing -- I mean, it seems strange to even have this feature in pocket home, since the window does not block the screen and anyone could just open a terminal or whatever using the keyboard, kill and restart pocket home. Why not delegate this kind of work to a real screen locking program?

Apart from that, the password seems to be stored using just plain SHA1, which is not a very good way to store a password. And also to compute this SHA1 by linking against OpenSSL, which is very probably in violation of the GPL3 license on this project.

I love most of the improvements in this fork, but I'm curious if these various security issues aren't better fixed by relying on an existing screen-locker instead of by doing all the work to fix them here.

the debian/ directory right now contains a compiled arm binary, and other stuff that looks like just the output of a build... probably should just have source in the repository and let the build system create these arrangements?

I have an icon to delete but drag does not work. Also the icon I downloaded for doom dosnt even load. And it is valid.

I installed the version from your repo and my pocket chip would have issues in the terminal about running out of processes. I'm probably unusual in that I am running pocket-home on the Standard Image. This is because I've added a service to have the CHIP reconfigure itself depending on whether it is running over HDMI, TzaTziffy, or oon the PocketCHIP.

The defunct processes were caused by the spawning of i2cget by Pocket-Home. I tracked the error to BatteryMonitor.cpp and have submitted a pull request to replace the guts of that portion of the class with a version written in plain C++
