Hey,
I think we are finally at a point where we can start testing and turn it into
a polished product.
Where are we now:
- We can create complete images (with Qtopia, Illume, the softkeyboard)
- Qtopia and e get launched, and e starts with the illume profile/theme
- Qtopia will ask for your SIM PIN (if you live in the paranoid europe
and
have one, cultural differences are funny, I love that)
- You can launch the Callnetwork application to see your network
registration
- You can dial numbers, send SMS (I didn't verify the reception...,
waiting
for my 2nd SIM card), see the contacts from your sim card in the
addressbook.
What needs polishing:
- Illume greats you with empty white boxes, we need something to put
there
- The volume of the phone call is really low...
- The dialer experience is improvable (e.g. if it is busy, the dialer
disappears, at least I want to dial that number again). Seriously.
Dialing
and receiving phone calls is a must. The flow must be perfect. Dial a
number, getting asked to answer the phone, seeing missed calls,
dialing
missed numbers... this needs to be tested and polished
What is untested:
- Sending SMS, Receiving them
- Headset stuff (I need to get one or find the one from the gta01)
- Suspend/Resume
- The receiving of phone calls, flow, a good flow
What is really broken:
- Sound volume :)
- Xglamo sometimes get upset by Qtopia/E and is doing funky stuff (bug
reported, but it is difficult to track, e excercises X in a special
and
different way)
- jittering of the touchscreen, makes it hard to launch apps
- No Signal and network indication in illume (flight mode? signal
strength)
- Suspend, Screenlock, and again incoming call and screenlock handling
:)
(I think we will need to give raster a hand or two, to do most of
this and
leave polishing, the final say, etc. to him, there are a lot small
things
that we need to do right for something in product shape)
- I see #1024 as well, and I think it is bad :)
What I'm going to work on this/next week:
- Suspend/Resume (I pushed some changes that should put the modem into
a good
state for suspend, needs verification)
- Taking a look at jittering. The results of Shorogan (Daniel Luebbe)
last
summer didn't look too promising.
- misc Qtopia bugs.
comments, feedback.

PS: I will upload a image once I've access (we work on that)
PPS: You can build it yourself with openmoko-qtopia-x11-image, for the full
pleasure you need the org.openmoko.zecke.april-update branch
