Dear community, Here is the note I kept about the current testing image. Part of it was already in the status update I sent before. I modified a bit to match the current situation and put it here so it could be archived. Please remember that since it's not in stable repo, it is a subject to change. What I wrote here only applies to the testing image for the last couple days.
Upgrade from Om2008.9 --------------------- Note: you can also flash new image in http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing Note: only upgrade from a clean Om2008.9 image is tested. sed -i -e 's%Om2008.8%testing%' /etc/opkg/*.conf /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm stop screen -DR opkg update opkg -force-overwrite upgrade # please ans Y to all questions # the sshd (dropbear) will restart, so you need to reconnect and do # 'screen -DR' again opkg upgrade # just in case shutdown -r now To get the fastest boot time you also need to remove the following packages: opkg remove task-base-nfs task-base-smbfs task-base-bluetooth \ task-base-usbgadget avahi-daemon avahi-autoipd blueprobe \ usb-gadget-mode portmap exquisite exquisite-theme-freerunner \ exquisite-themes Known problems about upgrade * Dropbear restart during opkg upgrade * some obsolete packages (like kernel modules) still left in system * will purge your incompatible e config, so you might need to set stuffs like suspend time again. Known issues ------------ * usb network won't work at first boot if you flash new image (#2096) * Illume sigsegv (#1767) - make sure you use asu theme if you use software_16 engine. If you want to use illume theme, you must switch to 'software' engine via illume config (in the upper shelf) * must remove 'ro' in kernel boot parameter if you use sd boot. * Most of the http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2008.8#Known_Issues are still there. Changes related to the dismissed optimization team -------------------------------------------------- #1267: echo AT%Nxxxx patch applied, credit of Treviño #1489: qtopia volume bar #69: boot time scripts. Some qtopia modifications as well. #1347, #2113: userspace suspend/resume Touch screen driver enhancement: see http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2008-October/002822.html #2031: Scroll list enhancement. There are still many todo items left on my list and some items half done, but we didn't have enough time to finish them all. Sorry. Echo ---- No definitive software solution yet. A way to improve it is: control.4 Speaker Playback Volume in /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state the max value is 127, 95 works best on my neo. With volume level 3 or 4 in qtopia dialer, the other side can only hear a minor trace of echo while I get good audio quality.
