== Overview == <br />
[[image:Icon_Home-Control.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Home Control is an app that aims to provide means to control everything remotely controlled at your home. The current version is designed phones in mind (it will work nicely even with the small screen of Veer), but future versions will bring lot of changes for the UI when run in TouchPad. I haven't done much testing on TouchPad yet so if something is not working please let me know and I shall fix it.<br />

=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that.

==== Home Control Client ====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Home Control client.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Start typing “Home Control” (no quotes)<br />

'''Setup'''<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002"><u>'''Adding A Server'''</u></span><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Server Type:'''<br />
<br /><br />
This setting determines the server type that you'll be connecting to for managing the controller. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Server / Device:'''<br />
<br /><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The format for the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server ====<br />
The following can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
'''Setup'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration / Usage ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Boxee / XBMC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== VLC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Rhythmbox =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== Totem =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse control in OS X =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting / FAQ ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position.

<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />

==== Home Control Client ====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Home Control client.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Start typing “Home Control” (no quotes)<br />

# Tap Applications > Utilities ''(e.g. Home Control)''<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server ====<br />
The following can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Controllers ====<br />
some stuff here about the install/setup of the controllers?<br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Client ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
<u>'''Adding A Server'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Server Type:'''<br />
<br /><br />
This setting determines the server type that you'll be connecting to for managing the controller. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Server / Device:'''<br />
<br /><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The format for the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration.<br />
</blockquote></blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Controllers ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Boxee / XBMC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== VLC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Rhythmbox =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Totem =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse control in OS X =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The format for the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Controllers ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Boxee / XBMC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== VLC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Rhythmbox =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Totem =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse control in OS X =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Stable Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The stable releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals feed and are recommended for general public use.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Testing Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The testing releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals Alpha or Beta feeds [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed].<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Client ====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Home Control client.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Start typing “Home Control” (no quotes)<br />
# Tap the corresponding app from the list<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
<br />
'''Or'''<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Tap Available Packages<br />
# Tap Applications > Utilities ''(e.g. Home Control)''<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server ====<br />
The following can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />

==== Home Control Client ====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Home Control client.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Start typing “Home Control” (no quotes)<br />
# Tap the corresponding app from the list<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
<br />
'''Or'''<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Tap Available Packages<br />
# Tap Applications > Utilities ''(e.g. Home Control)''<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server ====<br />
The following can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />

<br />
<u>'''Adding A Server'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Server Type:'''<br />
<br /><br />
This setting determines the server type that you'll be connecting to for managing the controller. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Server / Device:'''<br />
<br /><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The format for the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server Application ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Controllers ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Boxee / XBMC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== VLC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Rhythmbox =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Totem =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse control in OS X =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />

=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />

== Installation/Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Stable Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The stable releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals feed and are recommended for general public use.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Testing Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The testing releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals Alpha or Beta feeds [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed].<br />

<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />

<br />
<u>'''Adding A Server'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Server Type:'''<br />
<br /><br />
This setting determines the server type that you'll be connecting to for managing the controller. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Server / Device:'''<br />
<br /><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The format for the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server Application ====<br />
The following can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Server Configuration'''</span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Controllers ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Boxee / XBMC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== VLC =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== Rhythmbox =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== Totem =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== Mouse control in OS X =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows =====<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

== Overview == <br />
[[image:Icon_Home-Control.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Home Control is an app that aims to provide means to control everything remotely controlled at your home. The current version is designed phones in mind (it will work nicely even with the small screen of Veer), but future versions will bring lot of changes for the UI when run in TouchPad. I haven't done much testing on TouchPad yet so if something is not working please let me know and I shall fix it.<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

[[image:Icon_Home-Control.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Home Control is an app that aims to provide means to control everything remotely controlled at your home. The current version is designed phones in mind (it will work nicely even with the small screen of Veer), but future versions will bring lot of changes for the UI when run in TouchPad. I haven't done much testing on TouchPad yet so if something is not working please let me know and I shall fix it.<br />

<br />
=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />

== Installation/Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Stable Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The stable releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals feed and are recommended for general public use.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Testing Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The testing releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals Alpha or Beta feeds [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed].<br />

<br />
==== Home Control Client ====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Home Control client.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Start typing “Home Control” (no quotes)<br />

<blockquote><br />
<br />
<u>'''Adding A Server'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Server Type:'''<br />
<br /><br />
This setting determines the server type that you'll be connecting to for managing the controller. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Server / Device:'''<br />
<br /><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The format for the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration.<br />
</blockquote><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Home Control Server Application ====<br />
The following can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Server Configuration'''</span><br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Controllers ====<br />
<br />
<br />
===== Boxee / XBMC =====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== VLC =====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br><br><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Rhythmbox =====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Totem =====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse control in OS X =====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
===== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows =====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />

== Installation ==<br />
<br />
==== Overview ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Stable Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The stable releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals feed and are recommended for general public use.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Testing Releases'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
The testing releases of Home Control can be found in the WebOS-Internals Alpha or Beta feeds [http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Testing_Feeds WebOS-Internals Testing Feed].<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Method ====<br />
<br />
===== Home Control Client =====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Home Control client.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
[http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Preware Preware]<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Start typing “Home Control” (no quotes)<br />
# Tap the corresponding app from the list<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
<br />
'''Or'''<br />
<br />
# Open Preware<br />
# Tap Available Packages<br />
# Tap Applications > Utilities ''(e.g. Home Control)''<br />
# Tap the Install button<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
===== Home Control Server Application =====<br />
The following method can be used to install the Home Control server application.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The Home Control server application can be installed on Linux, OS X and Windows. See the available OS specific features above.<br />
<br /><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js ''(version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well)'' and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br /><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory ''(note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different)'' and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Verify that the port that the hc-server uses ''(default: 3000)'' is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''Server Configuration'''<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
* Authentication username and password (default: none)<br />
* Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br />
* Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The form of the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration. Below you can find some additional information and default settings for some of the devices/applications.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Boxee / XBMC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== VLC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br><br><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Rhythmbox ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Totem ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse control in OS X ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Totem ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse control in OS X ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />

<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

== Overview == <br />
[[image:Icon_Home-Control.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Home Control is an app that aims to provide means to control everything remotely controlled at your home. The current version is designed phones in mind (it will work nicely even with the small screen of Veer), but future versions will bring lot of changes for the UI when run in TouchPad. I haven't done much testing on TouchPad yet so if something is not working please let me know and I shall fix it.<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br />

<br />
=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
=== Client ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The client application can be installed from Preware, just look for Home Control application.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Server ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br><br><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory (note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different) and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br><br><br />
This server software can be run on Linux / OS X / Window, see the supported features below. Version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well.<br />
<br><br><br />
You should make sure that the port that the hc-server uses (default: 3000) is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''Configuration'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br><br><br />
- Authentication username and password (default: none)<br><br />
- Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br><br />
- Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The form of the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration. Below you can find some additional information and default settings for some of the devices/applications.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Boxee / XBMC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== VLC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br><br><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Rhythmbox ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Totem ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />

The Advanced System Prefs patches are a handful of highly customizable patches for webOS 2.1 and later.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
The Advanced System Prefs patches have been designed to give you many more options and preference in each corresponding app that can be customized to your liking. Having all of the Advanced System Prefs patches installed will give the best overall experience; however, you can choose to install just the patch you want. Utilizing all or some of the patches and their functionality will not affect the performance of your device. <br />
<br /><br /><br />
The Advanced System Prefs patches consist of the following set of individual patches:<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''REQUIRED:'''<br />

<br /><br /><br />
When the device's screen is off/locked, the Send SMS Reply feature works in this way: Pressing the power button twice with with at least a one second pause between the presses will invoke the SMS Reply/messaging app. Pressing the power button twice within one second, the SMS Reply/messaging app will not be invoked and instead will hangup the call.<br />

== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: What version of webOS are these patches available for?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: The Advanced System Prefs patches are available for webOS 2.1 and later.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: There are errors when I try to install one/all of these patches. What can I do?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: The Advanced System Prefs patches you are trying to install/update most likely are conflicting with an existing patch that currently installed or at one time was and didn't remove cleanly.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
You can do two (2) things to try and remedy your situation. 1) You can run the Emergency Patch Recovery tool (EPR) found in Preware or 2) Start removing some of your installed patches. Existing patches that provide the same functionality that these Advanced System Prefs patches do will be the cause of the errors 9/10 times.<br />

== Overview == <br />
[[image:Icon_Home-Control.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Home Control is an app that aims to provide means to control everything remotely controlled at your home. The current version is designed phones in mind (it will work nicely even with the small screen of Veer), but future versions will bring lot of changes for the UI when run in TouchPad. I haven't done much testing on TouchPad yet so if something is not working please let me know and I shall fix it.<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
<br />
<br />
=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''General'''</span>=====<br />

}}<br />
<br />
=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
=== Client ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The client application can be installed from Preware, just look for Home Control application.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Server ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br><br><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory (note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different) and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br><br><br />
This server software can be run on Linux / OS X / Window, see the supported features below. Version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well.<br />
<br><br><br />
You should make sure that the port that the hc-server uses (default: 3000) is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''Configuration'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br><br><br />
- Authentication username and password (default: none)<br><br />
- Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br><br />
- Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The form of the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration. Below you can find some additional information and default settings for some of the devices/applications.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Boxee / XBMC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== VLC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br><br><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Rhythmbox ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Totem ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse control in OS X ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

== Overview == <br />
[[image:Icon_Home-Control.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Home Control is an app that aims to provide means to control everything remotely controlled at your home. The current version is designed phones in mind (it will work nicely even with the small screen of Veer), but future versions will bring lot of changes for the UI when run in TouchPad. I haven't done much testing on TouchPad yet so if something is not working please let me know and I shall fix it.<br />
<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
<br />
== Features ==<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing or paused). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
=== Client ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The client application can be installed from Preware, just look for Home Control application.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Server ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: '''npm install hc-server'''<br />
<br><br><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory (note that with older 0.4.x node.js the installation directory is bit different) and executing: '''node hc-server.js'''<br />
<br><br><br />
This server software can be run on Linux / OS X / Window, see the supported features below. Version 0.6.x of node is recommended, although everything should work with the 0.4.x version as well.<br />
<br><br><br />
You should make sure that the port that the hc-server uses (default: 3000) is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''Configuration'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br><br><br />
- Authentication username and password (default: none)<br><br />
- Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br><br />
- Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The form of the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration. Below you can find some additional information and default settings for some of the devices/applications.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Boxee / XBMC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== VLC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br><br><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Rhythmbox ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Totem ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse control in OS X ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
This will most likely require some too, but this is not implemented yet...<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though. Proper support coming in future releases.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I get the following error: bind EADDRINUSE?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I am getting an inaccurate Rhythmbox status?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I seem to have limited controls for Totem...?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.</blockquote><br />

}}<br />
<br />
=====<span style="color:#8a0002">'''Advanced'''</span>=====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are some advanced features that are not so obvious, specifically when using the app on devices with small screens (e.g. Veer). Devices with larger screens may display these features all the time.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Progress Bar'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can view the progress bar by tapping the currently playing song/video info (song/video needs to be playing). The bar shows up for 5 seconds unless you start adjusting the position. Not all controllers support progress bar and it can even be media specific (streams can not be seeked usually).<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<u>'''Closing a Controller'''</u><br />
<br /><br />
You can close a controller by clicking its icon when the controller is selected. This will turn off any polling for that controller and close the application if the server side supports that. Starting the controller is simply done by selecting the controller which will also start the application if not already running.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
== Installation ==<br />
<br />
=== Client ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
The client app can be installed from Preware, you need to have beta apps feed enabled.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Server ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To install the server application you need to have working installation of node.js and npm. Then you can use npm to install hc-server: npm install hc-server<br />
<br><br><br />
Then you can run the server by entering the node_modules/hc-server directory and executing: node hc-server.js<br />
<br><br><br />
This server software can be run on Linux / OS X / Window, see the supported features below. <br />
<br><br><br />
You should make sure that the port that the hc-server uses (default: 3000) is not accessible from outside your local area network. If you want to make the server accessible outside of your local area network then you should configure the server to require user authentication.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
'''Configuration'''<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You can edit the following default values by editing the config.js file.<br />
<br><br><br />
- Authentication username and password (default: none)<br><br />
- Port for HTTP connections (default: 3000)<br><br />
- Port for SSD queries (default: 1900)<br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Configuration ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
All currently supported controllers need the server address of the device/HC server. The form of the address is <address>:<port>, if username/password is needed then: <user>:<password>@<address>:<port><br />
<br><br><br />
For the controllers that need the Home Control server, the address is the IP address of the computer running the server application and the port is 3000. For the other controllers that control the devices/applications directly you need to see the device/application configuration for the username/password and address/port configuration. Below you can find some additional information and default settings for some of the devices/applications.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Boxee / XBMC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
See the Boxee/XBMC configuration for the address/port setup. The default port is 8080.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== VLC ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To enable the controlling in VLC select 'Add Interface' from the menus and select 'Web Interface'. Then you can configure the controller in Home Control by using the IP address of the computer running the VLC and default port 8080. <br />
<br><br><br />
Or you can just start VLC from command line with following parameters:<br />
vlc --extraintf=luaintf --lua-intf=http<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Rhythmbox ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Totem ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
To get all features you need to have dbus-send command line application installed. It comes pre-installed with many distributions. You also need to enable dbus-service plugin in Totem.<br />
<br><br><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse control in OS X ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Mouse control requires XTool to be installed (http://lestang.org/osax/XTool/XTool-2.0.dmg.tgz).<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
=== Mouse / Keyboard control in Windows ===<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
You might get mouse / keyboard control working already by installing XMing or Cygwin/X for Windows. I haven't tested this method though.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting ==<br />
<br />
==== I get Error: bind EADDRINUSE ====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
Then the default ports that HC server uses are reserved by some other service and you need to try different ports. You can set the ports with command line parameters: -p <http_port> <ssd_port><br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
==== Inaccurate Rhythmbox status ====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
If the status in Home Control is not showing correct status after you change the playback state from the Rhythmbox then you most likely don't have dbus-send command installed in your system. It is needed for Home Control server to get the playback status from Rhythmbox.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
==== Limited controls for Totem ====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
If the status and controls in Home Control for Totem are limited (i.e. no current video info for example) then you most likely don't have dbus-send installed or you don't have dbus service plugin enabled/installed in Totem. Those are required for better control of Totem.<br />

== Making Themes ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
First you should create a directory for your theme and you should name it in the following style to avoid any conflict with other themes: com.domain.theme-name (e.g. org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme). Even the theme can be set to support different devices you should make separate theme for different types of devices, i.e. most likely nobody wants to have files for TouchPad installed in his phone for example.<br><br />
<br><br />
The hierarchy inside of that directory is free but the example below uses following hierarchy (the theme.json file is the only one required and has to be named as theme.json):<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />
org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme/<br />
data/<br />
images/<br />
patches/<br />
sounds/<br />
theme.json<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Then the contents of the theme.json file is as below. The optional stuff if not used can be left out. You should make sure that the file contains valid json, i.e. don't use tabs or make typos :). Also you should leave out the comments.<br><br />
<br><br />

}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Once the theme is ready you should zip the directory with the directory name, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme.zip. Its good practice also to include the device type in the zip name as well, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme-tablet.zip / com.mydomain.test-theme-phone.zip. <br><br />
<br><br />
The zip file can be then installed with Theme Manager. Theme Manager unpacks the theme into /media/internal/.themes/ directory where you can even unpack your theme manually while in USB mode or edit/view the already installed themes (when in USB mode you should see .themes directory if you have installed themes).<br />

A: Theme Manager is available for any device running webOS 2.1 and later. '''(NOTE: Enyo must be installed for Theme Manager to work. This can be done on older devices by installing the updated Maps app available in the App Catalog.)'''<br />

</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Installing Themes to the Theme Library ====<br />
Once themes are added to your device, they must be installed into the Theme Library so they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />
#Tap Theme Library<br />
#Tap Install New Themes<br />
#Tap one or multiple ZIP themes in the file picker<br />
#Tap Ok<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''IPK Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Install the IPK package with Preware<br />
::''Note: If you have Theme Manager already open, you'll need to rescan for the newly installed theme(s).''<br />
::#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />

::#Tap Re-Scan All Themes<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />

<br /><br />
# Browse (swipe) to the theme you wish to apply.<br />

# Tap the Apply Current Theme button<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Making Themes ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
First you should create a directory for your theme and you should name it in the following style to avoid any conflict with other themes: com.domain.theme-name (e.g. org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme). Even the theme can be set to support different devices you should make separate theme for different types of devices, i.e. most likely nobody wants to have files for TouchPad installed in his phone for example.<br><br />
<br><br />
The hierarchy inside of that directory is free but the example below uses following hierarchy (the theme.json file is the only one required and has to be named as theme.json):<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />
org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme/<br />
data/<br />
images/<br />
patches/<br />
sounds/<br />
theme.json<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Then the contents of the theme.json file is as below. The optional stuff if not used can be left out. You should make sure that the file contains valid json, i.e. don't use tabs or make typos :). Also you should leave out the comments.<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />

// Mandatory, different data can be set for different webOS versions, <br />
// every supported version must be listed, the components that does <br />
// not exist in the theme should be removed. Components can contain <br />
// images, sounds and patches.<br />
<br />
// Allowed files at the moment are, images: jpg/png, sounds: mp3/wav <br />
// and only files that can be patched are css files.<br />
<br />
"3.0.0": {<br />
// You can refer to other version with alias if the version is <br />

"file": "images/wallpaper.jpg"<br />
}<br />
]<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Once the theme is ready you should zip the directory with the directory name, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme.zip. Its good practice also to include the device type in the zip name as well, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme-tablet.zip / com.mydomain.test-theme-phone.zip. <br><br />
<br><br />
The zip file can be then installed with Theme Manager. Theme Manager unpacks the theme into /media/internal/.themes/ directory where you can even unpack your theme manually while in USB mode or edit/view the already installed themes (when in USB mode you should see .themes directory if you have installed themes).<br />

<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: What webOS version or device is Theme Manager compatible with?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Theme Manager is available for any device running webOS 2.1 and later. '''(NOTE: Enyo must be installed for Theme Manager to work. This can be done on older devices by installing the updated Maps app available in the App Catalog.)'''<br />

</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
==== Adding Themes to your Device ====<br />
Theme Manager compatible themes come in two types: ZIP and IPK. Themes need to be added to your device before they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
To add a ZIP theme to your device, save the ZIP package to the Downloads folder on the USB partition of your device.<br />

<span style="color:#8a0002">'''IPK Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
To add an IPK theme to your device, save the IPK package to the USB partition of your device.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Installing Themes to the Theme Library ====<br />
Once themes are added to your device, they must be installed into the Theme Library so they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />

<br />
<br />
== Making Themes ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
First you should create a directory for your theme and you should name it in the following style to avoid any conflict with other themes: com.domain.theme-name (e.g. org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme). Even the theme can be set to support different devices you should make separate theme for different types of devices, i.e. most likely nobody wants to have files for TouchPad installed in his phone for example.<br><br />
<br><br />
The hierarchy inside of that directory is free but the example below uses following hierarchy (the theme.json file is the only one required and has to be named as theme.json):<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />
org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme/<br />
data/<br />
images/<br />
patches/<br />
sounds/<br />
theme.json<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Then the contents of the theme.json file is as below. The optional stuff if not used can be left out. You should make sure that the file contains valid json, i.e. don't use tabs or make typos :). Also you should leave out the comments.<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />

<br />
"screenshots": [ <br />

<br />
"themedata": { <br />
// Mandatory, different data can be set for different webOS versions, <br />
// every supported version must be listed, the components that does <br />
// not exist in the theme should be removed. Components can contain <br />
// images, sounds and patches.<br />
<br />
// Allowed files at the moment are, images: jpg/png, sounds: mp3/wav <br />
// and only files that can be patched are css files.<br />
<br />
"3.0.0": {<br />
// You can refer to other version with alias if the version is <br />

"file": "images/wallpaper.jpg"<br />
}<br />
]<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Once the theme is ready you should zip the directory with the directory name, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme.zip. Its good practice also to include the device type in the zip name as well, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme-tablet.zip / com.mydomain.test-theme-phone.zip. <br><br />
<br><br />
The zip file can be then installed with Theme Manager. Theme Manager unpacks the theme into /media/internal/.themes/ directory where you can even unpack your theme manually while in USB mode or edit/view the already installed themes (when in USB mode you should see .themes directory if you have installed themes).<br />

Themes applied with Theme Manager are also OTA safe. After an OTA update, you must re-apply the theme. '''Before applying a new OTA update, you might want to make sure that the themes you use are supported on the new webOS version.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
===== <span style="color:#8a0002">Application Updates</span> =====<br />
Updated versions of Theme Manager can be applied via Preware.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
==== Adding Themes to your Device ====<br />
Theme Manager compatible themes come in two types: ZIP and IPK. Themes need to be added to your device before they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
To add a ZIP theme to your device, save the ZIP package to the Downloads folder on the USB partition of your device.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''IPK Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
To add an IPK theme to your device, save the IPK package to the USB partition of your device.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Installing Themes to the Theme Library ====<br />
Once themes are added to your device, they must be installed into the Theme Library so they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />
#Tap Theme Library<br />
#Tap Install New Themes<br />
#Tap one or multiple ZIP themes in the file picker<br />
#Tap Ok<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''IPK Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Install the IPK package with Preware<br />
::''Note: If you have Theme Manager already open, you'll need to rescan for the newly installed theme(s).''<br />
::#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />
::#Tap Theme Library<br />
::#Tap Re-Scan All Themes<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Selecting/Applying your Theme(s) ====<br />
Now that you have your theme(s) added to your device and installed in the Theme Library, you can start applying the themes or various components from many themes to your device.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Making Themes ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
First you should create a directory for your theme and you should name it in the following style to avoid any conflict with other themes: com.mydomain.theme-name (e.g. org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme). Even the theme can be set to support different devices you should make separate theme for different types of devices, i.e. most likely nobody wants to have files for TouchPad installed in his phone for example.<br><br />
<br><br />
The hierarchy inside of that directory is free but the example below uses following hierarchy (the theme.json file is the only one required and has to be named as theme.json):<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />
org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme/<br />
data/<br />
images/<br />
patches/<br />
sounds/<br />
theme.json<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Then the contents of the theme.json file is as below. The optional stuff if not used can be left out. You should make sure that the file contains valid json, i.e. don't use tabs or make typos :). Also you should leave out the comments.<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />

}<br />
]<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Once the theme is ready you should zip the directory with the directory name, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme.zip. Its good practice also to include the device type in the zip name as well, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme-tablet.zip / com.mydomain.test-theme-phone.zip. <br><br />
<br><br />
The zip file can be then installed with Theme Manager. Theme Manager unpacks the theme into /media/internal/.themes/ directory where you can even unpack your theme manually while in USB mode or edit/view the already installed themes (when in USB mode you should see .themes directory if you have installed themes).<br />

Themes applied with Theme Manager are also OTA safe. After an OTA update, you must re-apply the theme. '''Before applying a new OTA update, you might want to make sure that the themes you use are supported on the new webOS version.'''<br />
<br />
<br />
===== <span style="color:#8a0002">Application Updates</span> =====<br />
Updated versions of Theme Manager can be applied via Preware.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Usage ==<br />
<br />
==== Adding Themes to your Device ====<br />
Theme Manager compatible themes come in two types: ZIP and IPK. Themes need to be added to your device before they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
To add a ZIP theme to your device, save the ZIP package to the Downloads folder on the USB partition of your device.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''IPK Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
To add an IPK theme to your device, save the IPK package to the USB partition of your device.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Installing Themes to the Theme Library ====<br />
Once themes are added to your device, they must be installed into the Theme Library so they can be accessed in Theme Manager.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''ZIP Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />
#Tap Theme Library<br />
#Tap Install New Themes<br />
#Tap one or multiple ZIP themes in the file picker<br />
#Tap Ok<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<br />
<span style="color:#8a0002">'''IPK Compatible Themes'''</span><br />
<br /><br />
#Install the IPK package with Preware<br />
::''Note: If you have Theme Manager already open, you'll need to rescan for the newly installed theme(s).''<br />
::#Tap or Swipe down the Application Menu (left of the screen/top bar)<br />
::#Tap Theme Library<br />
::#Tap Re-Scan All Themes<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
==== Selecting/Applying a Theme ====<br />
Now that you have your theme(s) added to your device and installed in the Theme Library, you can start applying those themes or various components from many themes to your device.<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Making Themes ==<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
First you should create a directory for your theme and you should name it in the following style to avoid any conflict with other themes: com.mydomain.theme-name (e.g. org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme). Even the theme can be set to support different devices you should make separate theme for different types of devices, i.e. most likely nobody wants to have files for TouchPad installed in his phone for example.<br><br />
<br><br />
The hierarchy inside of that directory is free but the example below uses following hierarchy (the theme.json file is the only one required and has to be named as theme.json):<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />
org.webosinternals.simple-test-theme/<br />
data/<br />
images/<br />
patches/<br />
sounds/<br />
theme.json<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Then the contents of the theme.json file is as below. The optional stuff if not used can be left out. You should make sure that the file contains valid json, i.e. don't use tabs or make typos :). Also you should leave out the comments.<br><br />
<br><br />
<pre><br />
{<br />

],<br />
<br />
"screenshots": [ <br />
// Mandatory, at least one screenshot is required<br />
<br />
"data/default-view.png"<br />
],<br />
<br />
"themedata": { <br />
// Mandatory, different data can be set for different webOS versions, <br />
// every supported version must be listed, the components that does <br />
// not exist in the theme should be removed. Components can contain <br />
// images, sounds and patches.<br />
<br />
// Allowed files at the moment are, images: jpg/png, sounds: mp3/wav <br />

<br />

"file": "images/wallpaper.jpg"<br />
}<br />
]<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
}<br />
</pre><br />
<br><br />
Once the theme is ready you should zip the directory with the directory name, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme.zip. Its good practice also to include the device type in the zip name as well, e.g. com.mydomain.test-theme-tablet.zip / com.mydomain.test-theme-phone.zip. <br><br />
<br><br />
The zip file can be then installed with Theme Manager. Theme Manager unpacks the theme into /media/internal/.themes/ directory where you can even unpack your theme manually while in USB mode or edit/view the already installed themes (when in USB mode you should see .themes directory if you have installed themes).<br />

<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: What webOS version or device is Theme Manager compatible with?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Theme Manager is available for any device running webOS 2.1 and later. '''(NOTE: Enyo must be installed for Theme Manager to work. This can be done on older devices by installing the updated Maps app available in the App Catalog.)'''<br />

== Overview == <br />
[[image:Icon_Mode-Switcher.png|frameless|left]]<br />
Mode Switcher is a webOS application that brings profile support to your device in the form of "modes". These "modes" can nearly control every available setting in webOS and can be triggered (manually or automatically) by a number of different methods or "triggers" that in turn change settings on your device based on the configuration of the modes you created. Mode Switcher is very powerful and feature rich. You can make its use as simple or complex as you would need.<br />

==== Versions ====<br />
<blockquote><br />
There are two versions of Mode Switcher available. What version you use is dependent on what version of webOS is running on your device. Mode Switcher 1.x is available for webOS 1.4.x and Mode Switcher 2.x for webOS 2.x.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Mode Switcher 2 was completely rewritten into a Javascript service instead of being an application that runs in the background. It supports controlling even more system settings than MS 1.x with the help of the Advanced System Prefs patches for webOS 2.1. Mode Switcher 2 is faster, better and all around more awesome than before!<br />
<br /><br /><br />
Differences in the version's features, settings and capabilities will be noted throughout the rest of the wiki.<br />

==== Method ====<br />
<br />
The following method can be used to install Mode Switcher.<br />
<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />

<br />
<br />
==== Updating ====<br />
<br />
<blockquote><br />
===== <span style="color:#8a0002">webOS OTA Updates</span> =====<br />
Since Mode Switcher is an app, it is OTA (over-the-air) update safe. However, the patches that correspond/extend Mode Switchers functionality like the Advanced System Prefs patches and the Mode Menu patches are not OTA (over-the-air) update safe. When there is an OTA update to a newer version of webOS from your carrier, you must remove these patches before updating. If you do not remove them prior to running the OTA update, you most likely will need to run the Emergency Patch Recovery tool from Preware.<br />
<br />
<br />
===== <span style="color:#8a0002">Application and Patch Updates</span> =====<br />
Updated versions of Mode Switcher and the related patches can be applied via Preware.<br />

</blockquote><br />
<blockquote><br />
<b>Blocking Modes</b><br />
<br /><br />
Block options is gone in MS 2.x since it can be now done in a better way. If you want to make sure that mode A can not activate when mode B is active then add mode change trigger into mode A with setting: Mode B, Not Active. This way mode A can not trigger when mode B is active. <br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
== Troubleshooting/FAQs ==<br />
<blockquote><br />
<u>'''<span style="color:#8a0002">Mode Switcher 1.x & 2.x</span>'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: There are times when the radios (Phone/Data (3G)/Bluetooth/Wi-Fi) don't change state (on/off) when opening, closing or switching modes. What is wrong?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: There is a bug in webOS (version independent) where depending on the device/installation you may have varying success with the radios changing state. The frequency in which what radio settings get "stuck" or which radio settings don't get applied varies. A temporary solution is to do a full restart of the device which usually clears the "stuck" radio settings.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Note: This issue affects devices running the stock and modified kernels. It appears to affect any device running any current webOS versions (1.4.x/2.x)'''<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<u>'''<span style="color:#8a0002">Mode Switcher 2.x</span>'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I can't seem to find the settings for controlling the calendar, email and/or messaging nor the charger and/or battery triggers?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: One of two things are not setup correctly.<br />
# As mentioned in the [[#Overview_2|Installation > Overview > Corresponding/Related Patches section]], certain patches are needed to extend Mode Switcher functionality. Please see the links to the related wiki pages for help with installing those patches.<br />
# If you have those patches installed, make sure you have the Advanced Features toggle enabled. ''(It can be found by going to the app menu and selecting Extensions.)''<br />
<br /><br />
'''Q: When opening MS after installation, I get the Unknown Service Error notification. How do I fix this?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: That message means that you most likely have a bad or incorrect installation of MS. First try re-installing and rebooting your device (twice to be sure). If you still get the same error then you need to complete the installation manually ''(this is a webOS bug/error in your webOS installation that can cause the installation of service to always fail)''. You can complete the installation by entering the two following commands in a terminal ''(either over ssh/novaterm connection or in terminal application in the phone).''<br />
<br /><br /><br />
<pre><br />
cp -f /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosinternals.modeswitcher.srv/org.webosinternals.modeswitcher.srv.json /var/palm/ls2/roles/pub/<br />
<br />
cp -f /media/cryptofs/apps/usr/palm/services/org.webosinternals.modeswitcher.srv/org.webosinternals.modeswitcher.srv.service /var/palm/ls2/services/pub/<br />
<br />
ls-control scan-services<br />
</pre><br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: When changing modes, I get the notification, "Error: Mode change was aborted". What does that mean?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: That message means that there is a loop within the MS app configurations and the mode changing was aborted.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: Where did the trigger blocking go?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: The trigger blocking was removed in MS 2.0.9 in favor of using the Mode Change Trigger. You can achieve the same results and more by using the Mode Change Triggers.<br />
</blockquote><br />
<br />
<br />
<u>'''<span style="color:#8a0002">Mode Switcher 1.x</span>'''</u><br />
<blockquote><br />
'''Q: I’m getting this error when I try to install Mode Switcher: “1 of 1 hunk failed -- saving rejects to file etc/palm/luna.conf.rej"'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: The patch “Launch Brightness Unlinked on Luna Boot” conflicts with the "Launch Mode Switcher on Luna Boot" patch and must be removed.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: I installed Mode Switcher, but when I tap the launcher icon nothing happens.'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: You must perform a Luna Restart after installing/updating Mode Switcher.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: Can I close / get rid of the Mode Switcher dashboard icon?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: If you are on a Pixi/Pixi+, then no, the dashboard scene needs to be active for Mode Switcher to function. For the Pre/Pre+, install the Launch Mode Switcher on Luna Boot patch to get rid of the dashboard.<br />
<br /><br /><br />
'''Q: Can I manually or use [[Application:SaveRestore|Save/Restore]] to import my Mode Switcher 1.x modes into Mode Switcher 2.x?'''<br />
<br /><br />
A: Unfortunately, no. The differences between version 1.x and 2.x are to great to make this possible.<br />

==== Sending Problem Report ====<br />
<br />
When you are sure that the problem you are experiencing is not a configuration error and you have preferably first asked about the problem in the thread then you can send a problem report. To do so you need to have lumberjack installed. The preferred method of sending the problem report is first to reboot your phone then make the "problem" happen and right after it has happened open the Mode Switcher app and send the problem report via App Menu - Help - App Menu - Send Problem Report.<br />
