Virtualbox should run on FreeBSD and I've heard their Xen implementation has

 Wow.  After reading this I went to check the BL-5c from my old Nokia 6600,
 and couldn't find it.  I also have a BL-6c and a new BL-5c clone I ordered
 online a couple months ago.  That last one was on the desktop
 charger, and was almost twice as thick in the middle as it should be...
 extremely pillow-shaped.

 Needless to say I relocated it to the middle of the concrete garage floor
 away from anything flammable. (6-ft radius :)

 Thanks for the heads up.  Apparently whoever made this clone battery, it
 has the same or a similar flaw to the genuine Nokia ones made by Matsushita
 in 2006.  (always assuming it's not just someone selling off the portion of
 the 46 million made which never reached consumers, which actually seems
 pretty believable)  But the timing is just remarkable.

Hehe, cool. Have you got some protective clothing and a 6.5 foot stick to poke 
it with? :)

nothing wrong with my GPS before updating from 2007, worked quite
well. I thought reason was as I accidentaly dropped my FR on the

 I have some experience with 2008.8/9. Since I upgrades to 2008.9 I had
 more difficulties but since I found out that settings doesnt show current
 status of gps-power example if wake up from standby (its always off no
 matter what shown).
 I get a fix after approx. 2min when enter outside best not to close to
 house wall. I also have external antenna which is more reliable and can see
 and track more sattelites.
 Once I thought that gpsd was not runnning when I had problems but since I
 keep focus on it it always run (I expect the problem was power that was
 off).

 The most frequent problem I have now is that tangogps crash with segment
 fault after run for a while. Didn't have time to investigate that.

 I'm glad it's not just me. I'm beginning to think my phone is defective, I
 cannot get a fix. In the agps-ui, I'm not even seeing a signal from any of
 the satellites. Running 2008.9 with the latest kernel. I've even tried using
 the agps program with assist online. That makes agps-ui show a list of
 satellites, and have the current GPS time, but no signal. I was thinking of
 trying the antenna repair SOP.

 Ironicly, one of the biggest reasons I wanted the Freerunner, besides
 openness,  was to create a GRPS/GPS app.

 Hello
 This question may be terribly out of place, but I haven't found a definite
 answer on the Openmoko or freesmartphone wiki.

 I'd like to be able to develop on my main box some programs to use with FSO
 on the phone (and package them), but I have found only the Openmoko
 toolchain via the wiki. It seems to be 2007.4 based.
 There was nothing relevant on freesmartphone.org, so I think there is a
 way to use the aforementioned toolchain to make software compliant to FSO.
 Currently, my guess is that I need to set up the repositories list in the
 toolchain to point the FSO repos.
 Would this suffice?


You may use the Makefile at http://shr.bearstech.com/ , this will setup the
entire openembedded environment to build toolchain and fso
images/applications. This is the best solution if your application has
dependencies on the fso tree. You should write a bitbake recipie for your
application, or use some other tricks to use the toolchain.

  Nicola

Thanks, I will try it soon.
I'm just going to port some apps to FSO for now, so I don't expect any 
dependencies on the FSO tree that I would know about.
What I was afraid of was that maybe the OM toolchain used with FSO would give 
me headache because of errors that have origins unknown to me.

[EMAIL PROTECTED]wrote:

 Really depends on what your motivations and goals are, I suspect.
 Personally, I develop the applications that I want on the phone using
 TclFltk, a scripting based language that uses the FLTK tool kit. Since
 this cross platform environment works on Windows, Linux, etc. It does
 not get bogged down on all this platform dependant stuff.

I suspect that there must be other things that are pretty isolated from
 the stack, like python-gtk or java that you can use.

 On the other hand, if you are into the internals of the phone, your
 project will probably have a lot of trouble because of the lack of
 documentation and access. My projects are strictly user space
 applications, and so far, things are relatively speaking just fine.


Qt library works on Windows, Linux, Mac, and Windows ME too. With a single
Api you can run your applications on qtopia/2008.8/fso for example. The
library usually is used with C++, and i think this is faster then python or
java or other interpreted languages, and let's remember that we are on a
system with a slow cpu. Howewer this could be not a big issue, as a mixed
system where core feature are developed with C/C++ and lighter interfaces
with interpreted languages is acceptable.
Qt has an excellent documentation, i used it for years, qtopia supports
gta*, in the oetree are there qt recipies, om ported qtopia phone to x11, so
actually you write just one and run it on every freerunner or destkop or pda
with every distro on it.
Finally i must use qt because i developed a client for
www.openstreetmap.orgwith editor capabilities using qt library, it's
not yet released to the
public for lack of time, but when i got my freerunner i decided to
port,complete and release it.
First i tryied to download qtopia sdk virtual machine serveral time with a
slow line, but the file was trunked at 450Mb i think for an hardware problem
of the server.
After i decided to download qtopia-snapshots sources and compile SDK
directly on my host for arm and x86,  in a  couple of day i was quite
confident in new tools, new .pro specification, objects and api not
available on qtopia (QFileDialog, QInputDialog...) and so on, patched a bit
and compiled my application for qtopia. I found (it may be) a bug in qtopia
in floating point, recompiled all the sdk with double precision, find that
it now works and reported a bug to trolltech. I replaced /opt/* stuff with
my own qtopia image and finally my applications appeared on the freerunner.
The second step should be now to run my application on 2008.x and later FSO.
In the past I did a try to OE, trying to port my application for ipaq2200,
and i had to spent a lot of time, due to lack of documentation, to find some
bitbake inc files to patch and to use in order to create a bb recipie for my
application.
So i thinked i should find them in om tree, but it seems there is some
related to qtopia-core and not qtopia phone, howewer official recipie does
not fill staging area with libraries and include, so i'm in doubt how i have
to proceed, and all this is becoming a nightmare!

I have not to go deeply in the internals, but just have a little control of
Power Managment, or just interact with some gui staff, for example:

QtopiaApplication::setPowerConstraint(QtopiaApplication::DisableLightOff);

This line avoids freerunner goes to suspend when my application is running.
When it quits normal power management settings are used.
Another example is:

QSoftMenuBar::addMenuTo(...)

this add a menu under the softkeys of qtopia.
These calls is only available under qtopia and not generic qt.
I have to use qtopia-phone api to access contacts, sim, sms and so on, and
this is a different and incompatible with the fso framework.

So now, we have 2008.x with qtopia, but in the future it will be based on
FSO.
I think it would be quite nice to know if:

* qtopia phone x11 will be patched to use FSO?
* om will replace qtopia with Zenith or other gui?
* om guys will patch qtopia-phone-x11 recipie and classes to build
application?
* what are the relations between fso/oe/om stuff?

I have sent by accident a mail to Sebastian Ohl instead of here about
a review of this plugin.  I'll try to say all I have sayed.

This plugin is great, I use it with xfce4-panel and matchbox (not
XFCE) in user mode.

bugs:
 - the battery part seems to depend of a battery.py, which is not in
   the debian package, so I don't now where it came from.
 - The debian package do not have enough dependencies, at least
   python-gtk is needed.
 - the usb applet suppose that pushing the button always succeed, which
   is not the case. For example, in user mode, the plugin is not allowed
   to charge module or change the usb mode.
 - the panel plugin became unusable after a fso-frameworkd restart.

usability problems:
 - some part of the plugin is not usable in user mode, for example the
   new usb applet.
 - the plugin is composed of too much icons.
 - toggling mode of wifi, gsm and gps is too easy and can be done by
   accident.

Proposed features:
 - cobine the status icons into an unique icon (wifi, gps, bt, gsm
   on/off, maybe usb).  When pushing this icon, a window appear that
   propose to change the different options (module on/off, usb mode, usb
   gadget).
 - use a real bar for batterie status instead of lots of icons.
 - use a bar for gsm instead of a 4 circle bar.
 - print GSM network in the GSM icon instead of the red bars (maybe
   not a good idea since the name can be long).
 - provide a matchbox-keyboard-toggle compatible with the applet, or
   give an option to use the AUX button to toggle the keyboard directly
   into the panel plugin.

[2008.9] keyboard PIN

2008-09-23 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

I've update right now to Om2008.9 and was deeply impressed about how the
update went (fine) and that the user interface has completely changed
now :-)

I have problems (maybe because of lack of understanding) how to enter
the numbers for the PIN; from the Wiki I learned that I have to move the
finger over the keyboard to bring up the numbers, ok; but when I mark
now the digits they don't move up to the field where the PIN must be
entered; how is this exactly to handle? and how I can remove wrong typed
digits exactly?

I played around and was lucky to enter finally the correct PIN, but
without knowing in detail how to do this :-(

Thx

 From there, all you have to do is to configure the daemon to launch

This is normal for packaging, it will cook the whole thing that way.
It's generally what you want for packages and it proves that the set of
sources is complete as well.

If it doesn't make sense to add your module to the dist config (what's
the module?) you best bet is build from git, that way most of the .o
files won't need recooking between git pulls and it will be way faster
for you.

 Fun, but comparing apples and oranges. The iPhone UI design is stellar.
 Yes,
 it has warts, but less than anything else on the market.


I saw the Samsung Instinct touchscreen phone in the US.  Like other phones
here, it has been crippled, but I was dismayed to see the similarities
between its UI and the one in OM 2008.8 / Qtopia.

Noteworthy aspects: It has a usable Shelf, call management features work
instantaneously, it has useful buttons like volume control, call
pickup/dialer, etc., and has a GPS navigation system with voice prompts that
works.  Ah, and a tactile response system - all keypresses - virtual and
real - invoke a tiny vibration.

Overall a pretty good phone, but yes, crippled.

Re: [2008.9] keyboard PIN

2008-09-23 Thread Andreas Fischer
Hi Matthias,

I think on the default keyboard, a swipe to the right will put the
numbers on top and a swipe to the left will delete numbers. However, you
may be more happy with a different keyboard - see
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Keyboard_Debate

I'd recommend the keyboard that comes with illume-config (Rasters
keyboard, I think). There is a mod available somewhere on this list that
will ease entering numbers without a stylus.

HTH,
Andreas Fischer

If you have typed the number you can click on the numbers above the keyboard,
then they will be confirmed and written into the PIN field.

To delete a number (or a char) draw a line from right to left in the keyboard
field.

I prefer the illume keyboard with another theme, where I can choose
numbers/default/terminal it works better for me.

This is what happens if your config option are invalid, for example they

Re: new version of the openmoko-panel-plugin 0.3

2008-09-23 Thread Fox Mulder
I really love this plugin for use with debian. :)
But i have a few suggestions for future releases.

The GSM icon didn't change at all when disabled. Only when the gsm
provider is activated the gsm-strengh bar changes. When disabling gsm in
the older version the icon got a striked through circle like the other
icons but this didn't happen anymore.

In the first version when clicking the battery icon a popup show the
current state. This popup was removed because it didn't show any more
information than the hint when floating over the battery icon. Now i
would love to get the popup again but with more battery information.
In /sys/devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat/uevent all
information could be found and i think the following would be nice to
see (i added the unit in brackets):

POWER_SUPPLY_STATUS=Not charging
POWER_SUPPLY_VOLTAGE_NOW=4158000 (µV)
POWER_SUPPLY_CURRENT_NOW=16500 (µA)
POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_FULL=1215585 (µAh)
POWER_SUPPLY_TEMP=291 (°C * 10)
POWER_SUPPLY_TIME_TO_EMPTY_NOW=275280 (s)
POWER_SUPPLY_TIME_TO_FULL_NOW=3932100 (s)
POWER_SUPPLY_CAPACITY=99 (%)

It would also be nice if we could change the charging current within
this popup to force it to 100mA/500mA/1000mA. This could be done with
/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/force_usb_limit_dangerous

And i really love to see the new feature of changing the lcd brightness,
which would save quite some battery power. :)

Ciao,
 Rainer

there's a danger of flattening the battery if (say) the Neo gets woken

I think it's related to the screen blanking (maybe it's not actually
falling asleep, just blanking the screen) - but I haven't tested
thoroughly yet.

I think the Accelerometer data retrieval page on the wiki should have all
the information you are looking for:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Accelerometer_data_retrieval

along with several projects using the accelerometers that would be good
reference points on projects.openmoko.org.  Search for accel.

Also the Google Summer of Code gestures project:

Same here, but even with automatic blanking switched off.
Had this problem ever since installed Om2008.8 on August 31st.

Keep up the good work, fellows!

I didn't come across anything about units in my travels.  To me, it
looks like they're in cm/s/s, i.e. divide by 100 to get the familiar
value of 9.8ish pointing downwards.

Don't forget that (a) I may be wrong, and (b) The orientation of the
accelerometers might need some calibration.

Ok, Paul's code says that the number is in units of 1/1000 of
'g' (g=9.8 m/s/s), which also makes sense to me.  So, I'll defer to his
expertise unless anyone says otherwise :)

 the next version is already on it's way to sebastian to package
 a little gui-update here and there, some notifications (if python-

 friendly way to change lcd-brightness
 what i will add next would be a configfile where you can toggle which
 hw-icons you like to get displayed and which not

 other suggestions what you (the users) want could be placed on this
 list .. :)

 I have sent by accident a mail to Sebastian Ohl instead of here about
 a review of this plugin.  I'll try to say all I have sayed.

 This plugin is great, I use it with xfce4-panel and matchbox (not
 XFCE) in user mode.

 bugs:
  - the battery part seems to depend of a battery.py, which is not in
the debian package, so I don't now where it came from.

this was a quick and dirty hack to call battery.py from http:// 
hdr.meetr.de/neo/openmoko/battery/ from panel-plugin
just 'install' the ipk you get there and it should work for now - on  
my todo-list is a panel-plugin internal rework of battery.py

  - The debian package do not have enough dependencies, at least
python-gtk is needed.
  - the usb applet suppose that pushing the button always succeed,  
 which
is not the case. For example, in user mode, the plugin is not  
 allowed
to charge module or change the usb mode.

the usb-part has no functionality at all for now in any mode as it is  
not yet possible to 'rmmod g_file_storage'
i just build the gui-part to show what i have in mind .. and do the  
background-work when the module-handling works as intendet

  - the panel plugin became unusable after a fso-frameworkd restart.

not testet what's happening when frameworkd restarts - i guess it has  
something to do with dbus-things i'm not firm yet

 usability problems:
  - some part of the plugin is not usable in user mode, for example the
new usb applet.

see above

  - the plugin is composed of too much icons.

also on my todo-list is a config-pane to choose which icons you like  
to see and which not

  - toggling mode of wifi, gsm and gps is too easy and can be done by
accident.

this issue is addressed with the version i send to sebastian ohl - he  
seems to have no regular internet-connection


 Proposed features:
  - cobine the status icons into an unique icon (wifi, gps, bt, gsm
on/off, maybe usb).  When pushing this icon, a window appear that
propose to change the different options (module on/off, usb  
 mode, usb
gadget).

at least for me i like to just look at my freerunner and see what  
status the hardware and so is in as it could also be toggled by other  
programs
so combining icons would not be done by me

  - use a real bar for batterie status instead of lots of icons.

that's the way gtk.StatusIcon works ..

  - use a bar for gsm instead of a 4 circle bar.

see above - as long as noone tells me how to do a bar in a  
gtk.StatusIcon there will be icons ..

  - print GSM network in the GSM icon instead of the red bars (maybe
not a good idea since the name can be long).

i also think this would be too long in most cases (ok - 'O2' might  
work but 'T-Mobile D' is way too long)

  - provide a matchbox-keyboard-toggle compatible with the applet, or
give an option to use the AUX button to toggle the keyboard  
 directly
into the panel plugin.

at the moment the panel-plugin doesn't handle AUX-button ..

 Fun, but comparing apples and oranges. The iPhone UI design is stellar.
 Yes,
 it has warts, but less than anything else on the market.

 
 I saw the Samsung Instinct touchscreen phone in the US.  Like other phones
 here, it has been crippled, but I was dismayed to see the similarities
 between its UI and the one in OM 2008.8 / Qtopia.

Indeed. I have been using the Neo Freerunner as my daily phone for a few
weeks now. And I can say that the Iphone-esque graphical user interface is
starting to annoy me. 
The front screen gives me very little information. Yes I can see what signal
strength I have and what time it is. (and whether Bluetooth etc are turned
on) But then I get a list of icons of which one is always selected, and
scrolling through the list feels sluggish.

Other than that. I don't get to see that I have messages that I have clicked
away, nor that I have clicked away phonecalls. Nor any other statusses that
might be helpful.
The 'today' screen of the 2007.2 was a lot more informational.

What I'd like to see is to have a screen that shows me the date and time
(could be a clock with a similar look and feel as the one currently found
under Settings), how many missed calls, how many unread messages (both text
and email) and my next few appointments/tasks.
And easy access to the dialer.

And keep the signal strength and a smaller clock in a bar on top of the
screen.

Then if I want to start up applications, I slide that screen to the left to
see a list of applications (that can be done in the icon style we have now
in 2008.x) and then slide to the left again to see the rest of the
applications if there are more than fits on the first screen.

I realize that that is not exactly friendly for rotate, or something.
Perhaps instead of really rotating that screen, it shows a slightly
different view. with icon-buttons that show just numbers instead of
descriptions, next to the clock, when the screen is rotated.

I'm not a developer, so I have no idea how feasible this is with the
Freerunner. But that would be my ideal.

Re: [2008.9] Suspending questions

2008-09-23 Thread flamma

 I think it's related to the screen blanking (maybe it's not actually
 falling asleep, just blanking the screen) - but I haven't tested
 thoroughly yet.


If you have illume-config-illume installed, try setting a larger suspend
time and see if after the screen blanks, you can touch it to light it
again.

[Om2008.9] low audio for called party (i.e. low capture)

2008-09-23 Thread Matthias Apitz

Hello,

All the parties I'm calling complain about very low audio signal from my
Openmoko; this was already before the today update to Om2008.9. I can
all hear well, maybe to laud, but it is OK; I've played around with
changing the settings with 'alsamixer' to higher the capture values, but
when the call gets established the values are pulled down to some
defaults; where could I change this?

thx

Application idea

2008-09-23 Thread Richy
Hey there,

I just saw some video about Googles Android and it inspired me to something.

How hard would it be to implement googles Streetview in such a way,
that you use the accelerometer to look around rather than your finger?
So if you want to see what's on the right sight, you turn right
yourself with your Neo in your hand.
Also, is there an open alternative to streetview? (Combined with
Tangogps and OSM maybe?)



Just an idea.

a couple reasons, the biggest one being that the minty boost can't 
supply 1A the max is 600mA; as far as I know, there is no magic resistor 
to identify a 500mA charger to the Freerunner, it depends on USB host 
telling it that it can provide 500mA. Second, the ID pin is in the USB 
micro connector, so you would either need to put a micro connector on 
your minty boost (with the correct resistor installed) or use a hacked 
cable.

The Linear Technology step up voltage converter is supposed to be able

Re: Duke Nukem 3D on Openmoko Neo

2008-09-23 Thread Alasal

Because I don't manage the community repo. But I figured it all out, so it
can be put in the repository. And I would like to get it into the
repository.

But It isn't compiled/packaged like described on the wiki. I've just took
the compiled files of Rafael and put them in the right directory
(accordingly to the linux file system). Put an icon. And put that all in a
ipkg package with the proper dependencies. So If the community repo has an
policy as severe as debian (where all source files should be available), the
package will not be allowed.

So if anyone want to try to get it into the repo, go ahead. But I will not
try, because somebody on the  on the mailing list has already criticized my
package. (Because it's not compiled with bitbake by me and I don't know how
Rafael has compiled it)

tangogps and fso-gpsd were installed from http://ftp2.de.debian.org,
but I get no fix.

In the Trip tab tango shows allways an alternating GPS Time (Tue
1999-11-30 00:00:00 or Fri 1999-11-31 01:00:00) and Satelites: 11/0. The
rest is zero.

The zhone internal gps appl. shows at the start view at all items N/A,
and at the satelite view are about 10 satelites shown.

The FR ran the whole evening next to a window in a wooden house, but it
got no fix. I couldn't remove the SD card of using Debian installed on
it :-}. Is my FR one of these ones with the SD card problem? Or is it
also fixed by Debian distro?

How can I check my GPS? How can I bring it up running?

Sorry for all these question, but I couldn't find any solution in the
wikis.

Dear Community,

As first, I want to say thank you for all your great job, by which I can do
what I do now.

Om2008.* is, (in my opinion!), not very comfortable in use (Qtopia goes way
better, but it is still not what I want). I mean - I know that versions we
have today are not supposed to look good, that everything can get changed
and the biggest prioritaire is to bring it all work flawlessly. I know and
I'm happy with it and I can't stand waiting for everything that lay ahead ;)

While having some free time, I decided to create some concept arts of
interface. They are created from what we can have today in Qtopia and Om,
but I have added some features and polished them a little. So.. here you go:

Main idea: http://server6.theimagehosting.com/image.php?img=structure.png

unable to read from Sandisk 8Gb SD

2008-09-23 Thread Jonathan Schultz
 There is a patch that should be in tomorrow's kernels that addresses
 this, at least it gets my Sandisk 8GB SDHC recognized, please let me
 know if it helped or not.

Should it be included in this kernel? 
http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing-om-gta02-20080923.uImage.bin

I ask because I got the following:

 Unknown boot option `glamo_mci.sd_post_power_clock=10': ignoring 

when I tried playing with it.  And my Sandisk 8GB SDHC is still not 
recognised.

Re: [FDOM] Booting from SD, unable to open an initial console

2008-09-23 Thread Neil Jerram
2008/9/24 Neil Jerram [EMAIL PROTECTED]:

 Then I noticed that the rootfs.tar.gz doesn't actually have sbin/init
 in it.  It has sbin/init.sysvinit.  Should sbin/init be a symlink to
 that?  Or is there another cause of this problem?

Well, I created sbin/init as a symlink to init.sysvinit, and it made
no difference.  Boot failed with same messages as already posted.

Any ideas much appreciated!

[FDOM] Booting from SD, unable to open an initial console

2008-09-23 Thread Neil Jerram
Hi there, trying to boot from FDOM on my SD card...

So I downloaded the latest rootfs.tar.gz and uImage.bin from
http://compartida.net/openmoko/FDOM/, unpacked the rootfs.tar.gz into
/media/mmcblk0p2, and copied the uImage.bin to /media/card.  I was
previously running Debian on the SD card, so I think my bootloader
should already be correctly configured to boot this.

But the boot comes to a halt with:

VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem).
Freeing init memory: 128K
Warning: unable to open an initial console.
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

Then I noticed that the rootfs.tar.gz doesn't actually have sbin/init
in it.  It has sbin/init.sysvinit.  Should sbin/init be a symlink to
that?  Or is there another cause of this problem?

And a related question: when the kernel panics, is there any way of
powering off, other than removing the battery?

Thanks,
 Neil

I think it looks great.
Perhaps the name of the quickstartapps could be added and another,
more speaking symbol for the complete app-list  could be used. And  i
wonder, where the active  apps can be seem  (exept the tray icons).
Perhaps on the right side the list could be slided to the center (as
the  app-list seems to do from left).

But all in all, it seems to be a good idea.

Greetings Bastian

These look really nice :)  One problem I see, though, it seems that without a 
stylus, the  links (and just hyperlinks in general) are _really_ hard to 
press.  I think we should be optimizing for finger-based usability instead.

Ideally, each of those widgets would not use hyperlinks but rather buttons 
(i.e. a bigger target a la Fitt's law; perhaps draw a border around each 
display module, showing that the entire thing can be pressed for a much 
larger click area.

Did you purchase a device from them?  The GPL does not require source
code availability to just anyone who wants it - the distributor only
needs to provide it to those people to whom they distribute the binary.

I agree that a good open source citizen should provide the source
publicly as soon as it is available (i.e. even before the binary is
distributed), but the GPL simply doesn't require that so you can't
demand that.

Re: [debian gps] How to check gps

2008-09-23 Thread Dima Kogan
To check the raw data coming out of the device, do 

cat /dev/ttySAC1 | grep GGA

This should give you a line of data every second or so. Once a fix has
been established, these lines contain latitude,longitude values in
plain ASCII. The gpsd daemon (whether true gpsd or fso-gpsd) should
make this data available on port 2947. Check this with

nc 127.0.0.1 2947 | grep GGA

If the daemon works, you should get the same data here, as above. Good
luck.
