STEP 4: Setting the basics in GCONF on Maemo

For simplicity sake I will go through the necessary changes in gconf only, however a full gconf vanilla dump of both devices: N770 and N800. It is simple text so you can look at it and see what all you could change. Most of the fields are really self explanatory.
Right we start off with the webshortcut on the N800, you need to set the information with gconf so you need to add quite a few lines to your install script. A quick introduction to gconf is that it is kind of like the Windows registry. It is a database of settings. The difference is, its more understandable and generally you only have 3 options of content, string (which means TEXT!) , boolean (true or false) and integer (int, meaning whole numbers).

So if you would want to set the information for your webshortcut, you would put something like this into your installation script:


#Webshortcut
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/apps/hhiv/uri http://webmail.yourcorp.com
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/apps/hhiv/image_name webmail
/usr/bin/gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/osso/apps/hhiv/image_uri file:///home/user/MyDocs/.images/webmail.png

Makes sense?
Good, another good idea is , for example, to check your corporate WLAN with your device and then take a gconf dump of the connectivity (gconftool -R /system/osso/connectivity) and add that information to your installation script. This will pre-configure the Access point(s) on every installed device AND you can set your corporate proxy servers or auto-configuration url.

This way the Management will have to configure NOTHING when they are in the corporate lan. You will become a hero quite fast with this kind of feature.
