Smart Screen is comprised of smart-system, smart-home, app deck, device deck, tv deck, and dashboard. This document tells: how to run the smart-screen in Firefox Nightly and B2G
== Run in Firefox Nightly or B2G
=== clone the repo ===
Before building the code, we may need to clone the gaia repo with the following command:
git clone https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/gaia.git
=== build the code ===
The smart screen is a type of TV. We have to use GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tv to tell build script to build for TV:
GAIA_DEVICE_TYPE=tv make
If you had built other builds before, we should suggest you to clean the profile folder:
make clean
Please note we should have a folder called profile after the make finished and should have profile-debug if we also add DEBUG=1.
=== Run in Firefox Nightly ===
There were some issues in Firefox Nightly to prevent running Gaia in it in past few weeks. There is a new framework called [[Mulet]] which enables some missing modules for Firefox OS. We have to download the mulet enabled version, named firefox-36.0a1.en-US.xxxxxx, at:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
It is easy to tell the difference between normal one or Mulet enabled one. We may find the default start-up path is chrome://b2g/content/shell.html . If you still get the empty search/url box, you are in normal firefox nightly.
The following is an example to run Smart Screen in Mulet:
/Applications/FirefoxNightly.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -profile /Users/hchu/gaia/profile
==== Issues in Mulet ====
# There is an issue with Mulet Mac version. We may find the totally black screen after opened. Please press reload to start the loading of shell.html and adaptive web design.
# The window size of adaptive web design is not configurable with Mulet. We cannot enlarge the window size to TV size, like 1080P.
Please find more information at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=943878 .
=== Run in B2G Desktop ===
Running in B2G desktop is relative easy to Mulet. We may need to download the B2G desktop, named b2g-36.0a1.multi.xxxxxxx at:
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/b2g/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/
Similar to mulet, we can run the Gaia in B2G desktop with the following command:
/Applications/B2G.app/Contents/MacOS/b2g-bin -screen 1920x1080 -profile /.../profile
==== Issues in B2G Desktop ===
# The default orientation of B2G desktop is portrait. But we may expect the default orientation is landscape in TV. So, we may have a portrait clock app in B2G desktop.
