==D-Bus==

These D-Bus commands can be run from terminal or as shell scripts. Useful for scheduling events with [[fcron]], executing from [[Desktop Command Execution Widget scripts|Desktop Command Execution Widget]] or [[Queen BeeCon Widget]], startup events, install scripts, etc. They should be run as:

run-standalone.sh SCRIPT.sh
 run-standalone.sh dbus-send COMMAND

This is important to set up the environment correctly otherwise they may barf. If run as user "user" this is not needed.

Also note that most commands don't need "--print-reply" option. Those that don't need it should be '''tested without it''' and this page should be edited.

===Phone===

====Open Phone application====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr /com/nokia/HildonDesktop/AppMgr com.nokia.HildonDesktop.AppMgr.LaunchApplication string:"rtcom-call-ui"

====Make a phone call====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.CreateWith string:"$NUMBER" uint32:0

Change $NUMBER to phone number you want to call.

====End current phone call====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call com.nokia.csd.Call.Release

This will release/end/hangup/reject the current call (or possibly all calls if more then one call is active) or do nothing if no calls are active.

====Answer current phone call====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.csd.Call /com/nokia/csd/call/1 com.nokia.csd.Call.Instance.Answer

This will answer/pickup the current (first) call.

If you answer the call immediately as you receive the Call Coming D-Bus message the phone seems to be in a specific call state where answering yields a <code>com.nokia.csd.Call.Error.NotAllowed</code> exception.

You need to answer the call after a delay of e.g. 1 s.

Another (probably better) approach is to register to the CallStatus D-Bus message (<code>com.nokia.csd.Call</code>, <code>/com/nokia/csd/call/1</code>, <code>com.nokia.csd.Call.Instance.CallStatus</code>) and wait for a call status >= 2 (=<code>CSD_CALL_STATUS_COMING</code>) after the "Coming" message.

====Get [[:wikipedia:International_Mobile_Equipment_Identity|IMEI]]====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM/security Phone.Sim.Security.get_imei|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}'

====Get [[:wikipedia:International_Mobile_Subscriber_Identity|IMSI]]====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM Phone.Sim.get_imsi|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}'

====Get SIM status====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.SIM /com/nokia/phone/SIM Phone.Sim.get_sim_status

====Get cellular signal strength====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_signal_strength

First line is percentage, second is dBm, third unknown.

====Get cellular registration status====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_registration_status

====Turn loudspeaker on====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller /com/nokia/osso_hp_ls_controller com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller.loudspeaker.force_loudspeaker_on

(These loudspeaker ones don't work on my N900. If I add --print-reply I get "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller was not provided by any .service files".)

====Turn loudspeaker off====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller /com/nokia/osso_hp_ls_controller com.nokia.osso_hp_ls_controller.loudspeaker.force_loudspeaker_off

====Turn loudspeaker on (N900)====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestPrivacyOverride boolean:true

====Turn loudspeaker off (N900)====
 dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestPrivacyOverride boolean:false

====Turn mute on (N900)====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestMute boolean:true

====Turn mute off (N900)====
 dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestMute boolean:false

====Turn bluetooth override on (N900)====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestBluetoothOverride boolean:True

====Turn bluetooth override off (N900)====
 dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.maemo.Playback.Manager /org/maemo/Playback/Manager org.maemo.Playback.Manager.RequestBluetoothOverride boolean:False

====Start vibrating====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_activate string:PatternIncomingCall

====Stop vibrating====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_vibrator_pattern_deactivate string:PatternIncomingCall

===Profiles===

====Set General====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"general"

====Set Silent====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_profile string:"silent"

====Query current profile====

dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profile

====List all profiles====

dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_profiles|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}'

====Get all profile Values====

You can modify any profile value, eg. clock alarm enabled, im alert volume, keypad sound level, touchscreen sound level, ... To find out which keys exist, to what value they are set and what values can be given you can use the following command. (For the profile "silent" just put "silent" at the end instead of "general".)

dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.get_values string:"general"

The returned value is an array of struct. Each struct has 3 strings: key, value, type. Type can be eg. "INTEGER 0-2" saying that the values 0, 1 and 2 are correct values for this key.

====Set a profile value====

To modify the above mentioned profile values you need this method. The method takes three parameters, all strings: profile, key and value. Profile can be "general" or "silent", key is one of the keys from the above (get all profile values), value can be set to anything allowed by "type" from the above method.

To enable vibrating alert for the profile "general" your script would look like this:

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.profiled /com/nokia/profiled com.nokia.profiled.set_value string:"general" string:"vibrating.alert.enabled" string:"On"

===LED===

====Activate LEDs====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_activate string:"PatternCommunicationIM"

====Deactivate LEDs====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deactivate string:"PatternCommunicationIM"

===Messaging===

====New e-mail====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.modest /com/nokia/modest com.nokia.modest.MailTo string:"mailto:"

====Send and receive e-mail====

It works, but it takes up to 2 minutes for modest to start refreshing and after that it depends on the speed of the connection how fast it is going to be completed, usually up to 5 seconds, 2G can be a bit slower.

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.modest /com/nokia/modest com.nokia.modest.SendReceive

====Set presence====

dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl /org/freedesktop/Telepathy/MissionControl org.freedesktop.Telepathy.MissionControl.SetPresence uint32:2 string:"I'm here"

Note: This method does not work in Maemo 5. Workaround: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=55686

====Change peak_schedule settings====

Check:
 run-standalone.sh gconftool-2 -R /apps/activesync

Set (check if yours is named ActiveSyncAccount1):
 run-standalone.sh gconftool-2 --set /apps/activesync/ActiveSyncAccount1/schedule/peak_schedule --type=int 15
Where the last number is one of the following (as standard in GUI):

* '''0''' = Always on
* '''-1''' = Manual
* '''15''' = Every 15 minutes
* '''30''' = Every 30 minutes
* '''60''' = Every hour
* '''240''' = Every 4 hours
* '''720''' = Every 12 hours

===Media player===

====Open file in media player====

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mediaplayer /com/nokia/mediaplayer com.nokia.mediaplayer.mime_open string:"file:///$1"

====Pause what's currently playing====

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.pause

====Stop what's currently playing====

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.stop

====Play what's currently selected====

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.play

====Unpause what's currently selected====

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.resume

====Play next mediafile====

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.next

====Play previous mediafile====

dbus-send --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.renderer.previous

===Notifications===

====Send notification (orange one line popup)====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteInfoprint string:"NOTIFICATION"

====Send dialog notification (orange multi line popup requiring user interaction)====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Notifications /org/freedesktop/Notifications org.freedesktop.Notifications.SystemNoteDialog string:"QUESTION?" uint32:0 string:"OK"

Not sure what string "OK" does, but it is needed and can be anything.

===Securing===

====Lock====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.system_ui /com/nokia/system_ui/request com.nokia.system_ui.request.devlock_open string:"com.nokia.mce" string:"/com/nokia/mce/request" string:"com.nokia.mce.request" string:"devlock_callback" uint32:'3'

====Unlock====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.system_ui /com/nokia/system_ui/request com.nokia.system_ui.request.devlock_close string:"com.nokia.mce" string:"/com/nokia/mce/request" string:"com.nokia.mce.request" string:"devlock_callback" uint32:'0'

====Lock screen and keys====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"locked"

====Unlock screen and keys====

This command will unlock and illuminate the screen (useful when accessing the phone externally through [http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html PuTTY])
 dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_tklock_mode_change string:"unlocked"

====Query lock state of screen and keys====

Will return ''locked'' or ''unlocked'' depending on lock state
 dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest="com.nokia.mce" --print-reply "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.get_tklock_mode|awk -F "\"" '/g/ {print $2}'

===Networking===

====Enable ICD log====
There are two methods to enable ICD logs

1. Print to the syslog:
   (1)Use the following cmd 
   (2)$ syslogd
   (3)$ icd2 –l0
   (4)The log will print to the /var/log/syslog
2. Print to the standard output  
   (1)Get the source code of icd2
   (2)Add the begging of source code of “support/osso-log.h” "#define OSSOLOG_STDOUT"
   (3)$ icd2 –l0
   (4)The log will print to the standard output

====Connect to specific saved connection====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"IAP_ID" uint32:0

IAP_ID is internet access point identifier and can be obtained with the following command:

gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity/IAP

Find lines which matches /system/osso/connectivity/IAP/<IAP_ID>

For GPRS connections replace "@32@" with a space in IAP_ID string.

Keep in mind that phone has to be disconnected in order to connect via this call.
If not, an error message will occur if you add --print-reply to the dbus-send command.

====Connect to any saved connection====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd com.nokia.icd.connect string:"[ANY]" uint32:0

====Disconnect internet====

=====ICD2=====

dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=com.nokia.icd2 /com/nokia/icd2 com.nokia.icd2.disconnect_req uint32:0x8000

=====ICD=====

dbus-send --system --dest=com.nokia.icd /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.disconnect boolean:true

On [[Maemo 5/PR1.2|PR1.2]] :
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "disconnect" with signature "b" on interface "com.nokia.icd_ui" doesn't exist

====Connect (show change connection UI)====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.icd_ui /com/nokia/icd_ui com.nokia.icd_ui.show_conn_dlg boolean:false

If "boolean:true" at the end, one-line notification saying "No saved connections available" appears. Maybe affects more than that? Most likely, boolean:true leads to using saved connections if there are any, and boolean:false forces to display the connection dialog.

====Enable cellular radio====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.set_radio boolean:true

====Disable cellular radio====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.SSC /com/nokia/phone/SSC com.nokia.phone.SSC.set_radio boolean:false

===Radio mode===

====Current Mode====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.get_radio_access_technology

====2G====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.set_selected_radio_access_technology byte:1

====3G====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.set_selected_radio_access_technology byte:2

====Dual====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.phone.net /com/nokia/phone/net Phone.Net.set_selected_radio_access_technology byte:0

===Bluetooth===

====Identify adapter path====

You need to know adapter path in order to send D-Bus call to the right place. You can get it with entering this command into the terminal:

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters | awk -F'"' '/at/ {print $2}'
or
 dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.DefaultAdapters | awk -F'"' '/at/ {print $2}'

====Enable====

Using the adapter path value returned with previous command, for example ''/org/bluez/906/hci0''.

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/906/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:true

This one automatically inserts adapter path:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez $(dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters | awk -F'"' '/at/ {print $2}') org.bluez.Adapter.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:true

====Disable====

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/906/hci0 org.bluez.Adapter.SetProperty string:Powered variant:boolean:false

With auto-discovery of adapter path:

====Connect to specific device====

devmac=00:11:22:33:44:55
 service=AudioSink
 
 adapter=$(dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez / org.bluez.Manager.ListAdapters | awk -F'"' '/at/ {print $2}')
 device=$(dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.bluez ${adapter} org.bluez.Adapter.FindDevice string:${devmac} | sed -ne 's/^.*object path //p' -e 's/"//g')
 dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=org.bluez ${device} org.bluez.${service}.Connect

Change the AudoSink to any service and the devmac to the MAC of bluetooth device.

===Check for updates===

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.hildon_application_manager /com/nokia/hildon_application_manager com.nokia.hildon_application_manager.check_for_updates

===Open link in browser===

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.osso_browser /com/nokia/osso_browser/request com.nokia.osso_browser.load_url string:"google.com"

===Open a pdf file with the default pdf reader application===

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_pdfviewer /com/nokia/osso_pdfviewer com.nokia.osso_pdfviewer.mime_open string:/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/file_name.pdf

===Open a file with the default notes application===

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_notes /com/nokia/osso_notes com.nokia.osso_notes.mime_open string:/home/user/MyDocs/.documents/file_name

===Open the default notes application===

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_notes /com/nokia/osso_notes com.nokia.osso_notes.top_application

=== Open folder ===

dbus-send --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.osso_filemanager /com/nokia/osso_filemanager com.nokia.osso_filemanager.open_folder string:/home/user/MyDocs/

===Set volume===

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.extension.set_extension_property string:volume variant:uint32:50

The value can be between 0 and 100.

===Get volume===

dbus-send --print-reply --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mafw.renderer.Mafw-Gst-Renderer-Plugin.gstrenderer /com/nokia/mafw/renderer/gstrenderer com.nokia.mafw.extension.get_extension_property string:volume|awk '/nt/ {print $3}'

===Reboot===

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.req_reboot
This is same as rebooting from power key menu (needs uncommenting in certain XML file to appear) and has been identified as insecure way to reboot the device (no filesystem synchronization, etc.). Better command is to simply enter "reboot" in root terminal.

===Shutdown===

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce "/com/nokia/mce/request" com.nokia.mce.request.req_shutdown
See warning at reboot D-Bus call (needs testing).

===Show dashboard===

dbus-send /com/nokia/hildon_desktop com.nokia.hildon_desktop.exit_app_view

===Other===

====D-Bus Scripts====

You can also use [[DbusScripts|dbus-scripts]] to execute any command when various actions are triggered on D-Bus.

====Panucci (pause)====

dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.panucci.panucciInterface /panucciInterface org.panucci.panucciInterface.playPause

====Device Orientation====

dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.get_device_orientation

==GConf==

===Reset GPRS data counter===

The commands are PR1.2 compliant and do not work on previous versions.

gconftool-2 -u /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/gprs_home_rx_bytes
 gconftool-2 -u /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/gprs_home_tx_bytes
 gconftool-2 -s /system/osso/connectivity/network_type/GPRS/gprs_home_reset_time --type=string $(date +%s)

==Command line==

===Enable FM Transmitter===

/usr/bin/fmtx_client -p 1

===Disable FM Transmitter===

/usr/bin/fmtx_client -p 0

==GStreamer==

===Take a picture with front camera===

gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=1 ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! filesink location=frontcam.jpg

===Shoot photo after 10 seconds===

The camera application must be off for it to work. And of course the camera shutter must be open...gst-launch comes with gstreamer-tools (or gst-launch-0.10 and gstreamer0.10-tools)

/bin/sleep 10 ; /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=1 \! video/x-raw-yuv,width=2592,height=1968  \! ffmpegcolorspace \! jpegenc \! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo.jpg

To shoot from the front camera, change '''/dev/video0''' to '''/dev/video1''' and the proper resolution:

/bin/sleep 10 ; /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=1 \! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480  \! ffmpegcolorspace \! jpegenc \! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo.jpg

Other way:

/bin/sleep 10; /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2camsrc ! ffmpegcolorspace ! jpegenc ! identity error-after=1 ! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo.jpg

===Send dialog notification (orange multi line popup requiring user interaction)===

<source lang="python">
import dbus
def show_notification_dialog(message, mode="single"):
  bus = dbus.SystemBus()
  iface = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Notifications',
                                        '/org/freedesktop/Notifications'),
                                        'org.freedesktop.Notifications')
  if mode == "single":
      iface.SystemNoteInfoprint(message)
  elif mode == "multiline":
      iface.SystemNoteDialog(str(message), dbus.UInt32(0), 'Ok')
</source>

This function allows you to show notification either with multiline (on Maemo pre-5 it will show a dialog with an "Ok" button) or single line (tiny notifications hiding automatically).

===Take a screenshot===

<source lang="python">
import gtk.gdk

w = gtk.gdk.get_default_root_window()
sz = w.get_size()
print "The size of the window is %d x %d" % sz
pb = gtk.gdk.Pixbuf(gtk.gdk.COLORSPACE_RGB,False,8,sz[0],sz[1])
pb = pb.get_from_drawable(w,w.get_colormap(),0,0,0,0,sz[0],sz[1])
if (pb != None):
  pb.save("screenshot.png","png")
  print "Screenshot saved to screenshot.png."
else:
  print "Unable to get the screenshot."
</source>

Credits: took code from [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/69645/take-a-screenshot-via-a-python-script-linux here].

There is also a way using PyQt:
<source lang="python">
import sys
import time
from PyQt4.QtGui import QPixmap, QApplication
app = QApplication(sys.argv)
file = "/home/user/MyDocs/.images/Screenshots/Screenshot-"+time.strftime("%Y%m%d")+"-"+time.strftime("%H%M%S")+".png"
QPixmap.grabWindow(QApplication.desktop().winId()).save(file, 'png')
</source>

===Make an "Email Style" notification dialog===

<source lang="python">
import dbus

bus = dbus.SessionBus()
proxy = bus.get_object('org.freedesktop.Notifications', '/org/freedesktop/Notifications')
interface = dbus.Interface(proxy,dbus_interface='org.freedesktop.Notifications')
interface.Notify('Notification', 0, 'control_bluetooth_paired', 'Testing 123', 'Hello World', [], {}, 0)
</source>
