Most manufactures just add a small paper with the list of software and their license or refer the users to a page in their website. When ever you distribute GPL code you are obligated to give the user an option to get the source. How you do that can vary from sending a CD with the source to download the files from your or someone else's website.

Thanks for any help. I have the nexus one, a friend has the galaxy S. Also ran into the new google phone (I think it's called the samsung nexus S). My two problems with the galaxy S are 1. I'm missing the search button which I use quite a lot and some sort of track ball (mechanical or digital) which I use quite a lot as well (I like it for the menus, but it can be hard to reach exact place in the text as well as it doesn't have the zoom function like in the iPhone, although I prefer the ball to the iphone). 2. It's a tad too big for me. I like the size of the nexus one better (it's a 3.8 screen I thing instead of 4 which allows for a slightly smaller phone). But that is a matter of taste Other than that it's a nice phone The little I saw of the nexus S, I like it better, although I've been told that it doesn't have video calls despite having a front camera. It also doesn't have the trackball feature (like you get with blackberry phones). It does have the missing search button though. As for hebrew, don't know if things changed. I had to root the phone (actually it came rooted as I got it off ebay) and install a patch. Easy if you know what you are doing, finding the patch is not easy, installing it for the first time can be a little scary. It has some hebrew menus but not all of them, although I stick with the english menus so can't tell you how far. I also use the cyanogenmod which is an aftermarker firmware so I don't know how things are with the official version. The galaxy S I saw was from Orange and fully in hebrew. Don't know how much of that is available freely and if you need to root your phone to install that. One thing that you need to check in terms of where to buy is the issue with internet packages. I think that all phone companies in Israel make you buy a data plan for around 70+ nis. At least if you buy the phone through them you also get a gps package. One last thing about importing the phone. You need to watch what country it's intended for. I believe that all these phones are quad band by now so can be used in any country for 2G. For 3G there are several bands and they are not compatible. I don't know of any phone that covers all of them and I think that even in Israel there is no complete overlap, so the phone may work in 3G with some of the operators but not all of them if you are not careful. Alos, I use the phone without a data plan, which quite limits GPS options. Google maps seems to work in Israel at the moment, but requires data connection for the maps. iGo is fully on board (no data) but there is no official Isreali offering, there is a hack going around to allow it to run on android, but it's not easy to find and install. waze is also free and the maps seem to have good coverage but requires data for routing (route planning seems to happen online, only the maps are on board) and the interface is not wonderful to say the least, there is also mapquest which is free and it seems to have Israeli maps, not sure if it's not just waze under a different name and english interface. And finally, if you plan to root the phone, some versions are easier to unlock than others. As far as I know the ericsson xperia is easy to root but hard to unlock to other operators for example. If you are not planning to root, you may want to look at which android version each phone comes with. Hope that that helps and doesn't complicate things any farther. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Recommendation for an Israeli Computers/Computer Parts Store with a Web Interface in English or Arabic
Hi all, Recently I was contacted by a FOSS/web-design enthusiast who lives in Ramallah, was a native speaker of Palestinian Arabic, knew Written Arabic, and had very good written English. He was looking for a good Israeli store for hardware, computer parts and whole computers. I told him that I like http://www.zap.co.il/ for comparing prices and http://www.pandas.co.il/ whose web-interface is simple and works well in many non-MSIE browsers that run on Linux, but both of them only had a Hebrew interface. He was not too content when I told him he can phone or E-mail such shops in English, and they'll most probably be able to help him. So I wonder, at least for next time, if anyone can recommend a good Israeli shop with an optional web-interface translation in either Written Arabic or more preferably - English.

Re: Android phones
Quoting David Suna da...@davidsconsultants.com: 3. If I were to purchase one of these (unlocked) phones online and have it brought to Israel how easy is it to add Hebrew support? One thing I learned yesterday as I was searching for a way to install Japanese fonts on my Motorola Milestone is that it's notoriously difficult to change/add fonts to Android phones. Basically you need to root them first, as the fonts directory permissions factory settings are read-only. So if you buy a phone abroad, I'd strongly suggest you test it right there, using WiFi, just surfing to google.co.il or some such and seeing whether you get Hebrew fonts at all. If not, then you need to consider whether you want to root the phone and lose your warranty. Once you have rooted the phone, it's just your normal Linux operation. Download the font file to the phone by mounting it or whatever, use a terminal and su to change the permissions of the fonts directory, and replace the fallback font with your font by renaming it properly. Full instructions can be found on various Android forums around the globe. Soft keyboards are much easier to install. I don't have any information regarding support of BiDi and whether it comes built in or requires root. If anybody is aware of a better way to install fonts on Android, I'd be thrilled to hear about it, as my phone is company property and under warranty, so rooting is not an option for me.

Can anyone point me to reliable definitive information about this? 3. If I were to purchase one of these (unlocked) phones online and have it brought to Israel how easy is it to add Hebrew support? Thanks for any help. I'll try to set the record straight. First - the fonts. As of Android version 2.1, the OS arrives with Hebrew fonts out of the box (unless the carrier you bought it from REMOVED them to save space, that is). This is not perfect, as the font is an external font, and only covers the basic font type - no bold nor italics in Hebrew unless you install your own fonts. Installing a new font requires root access. This is not so much because of the fonts directory permissions as it is because the system file system is mounted read only, and you need to be root to remount it. Bear in mind that many Motorola phones are notoriously hard to get root on. As far as radiation goes, it is my belief that this is bollocks. There is no theoretical basis to the claim that non-ionizing radiation causes cancer, and no empirical data showing why the theory might be lacking. The entire EM scare seems rooted on the fact that it is called radiation. I have held the Galaxy S, and I have to agree with Micha - it is too big. The nexus one is much more friendly, in that regard. I have never held the Nexus S, but it was my understanding that it is the exact same hardware as the Galaxy S, except with an unlocked boot loader. People here seem to be of a different opinion, and that is based on actual observation, then take their word over mine. Either way, unlocking a Galaxy is not as easy as unlocking a Nexus. The Nexsus phones were specifically designed to be easily unlocked. As far as BiDi goes - there's the rub. I'll start out with the good news - Honeycomb (3.0) has much much much better BiDi. This helps you not a bit, as no phone will run Honeycomb. Samsung phones bought in Israel have a Samsung developed BiDi which may or may not be better than the stock Android BiDi. I have not tested the Galaxy S' BiDi too deeply (might do so tomorrow and let you know). The stock BiDi for Gingerbread (2.3) and down is extremely partial. Some applications do not enjoy it at all. Some have BiDi, but not proper alignment of the paragraph. Some texts simply don't appear correctly. The most annoying, if not downright dangerous, problem is that numbers after Hebrew text appear from right to left. The stock BiDi is simply unworkable. There are third party BiDi supports for phones you import yourself. Assuming you have root, there are some very detailed instructions on the iandroid.co.il forums. They patch the binary of the system files, but work fairly reliably. They fix the most obvious problems with the stock Android BiDi, though still leave something to be desired in my taste. Lastly, there is the matter of localization. At least as far as the Galaxy S is concerned, in one word - don't. The interface is left aligned, and the translations themselves leave more than a little to be desired. I actually stared at some of the texts the system was producing, trying to figure out what the phone was trying to tell me. Just stick to the English interface.

Someone in these forums is responsible enough to report these issues to the upstream? I'm not sure what you mean by upstream. Most of the limitations of the forum solutions stem from the fact that no sources are available for the phones, so you are, essentially, hacking in BiDi support by modifying the binaries. Which upstream would you say is responsible, in such a case? Also, bear in mind that while I think a better job can be done, not everything is fixable when you are doing binary only hacking.

This might be related to the low quality of the call. The cellular networks use these days a heavly compressed GSM codec to save bandwith. If you are on an area that has low cellular coverage the codec gets more aggressive. Many people I talk to from my cellular at home (started cellcom, now pelephone) complain that the conversation is not productive and they request my landline. They the quality of the conneversation gets noticable better. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Most of the limitations of the forum solutions stem from the fact that no sources are available for the phones, so you are, essentially, hacking in BiDi support by modifying the binaries. Which upstream would you say is responsible, in such a case? Also, bear in mind that while I think a better job can be done, not everything is fixable when you are doing binary only hacking. Can you explain how those roms are done? What does does it mean binary patching? Points to FMs are OK, search terms are OK as well. Comming from the world of OSS and package managers I still strugle to understand the terminology used in the Android community for the things I do every day in my computers (and at work). ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
