Hello Sean,

  I always wondered why you were not reusing XO's wifi chip subsystem (Marvell 
88W8388) ? OLPC has already mesh networking and I guess good integration in 
the kernel. Too expensive, proprietary, complicated ?

Re: Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)

I think that the problem of the error message is not killing mplayer, but the
outer

implemented a
signal handler.

Offer to write some neat programs for the Freerunner

2009-01-04 Thread Sargun Dhillon
So, I want to start my Freerunner development back up. I was thinking
of a few different Apps to write, please give your comments (Tell me
what you want):
A) Assassin game
A game where you can 'kill' other Openmokos, it would like Via
Bluetooth/Wifi. This would mostly be a gimmick based off of
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_%28game%29
B) Open Source Push
Everybody has heard of Push, right. This whole Push E-mail, Push
application notification. I was basically playing with the idea of
writing a push framework for the Freerunner. People could write apps
that would be triggered by emails, weather changes, etc.
C) Traffic monitoring, and call management
This idea entails that when you are driving at high speeds on the
roads, it'll put your phone into a silent profile mode. It could also
setup call forwarding/allow an SMS to come in that would unlock the
freerunner's mode, in case of emergency call.

Now one thing, I'm planning on charging for these apps. A tiny bit,
but still a bit. I need the cash.

So, tell me what do you guys want to buy first?

Re: Offer to write some neat programs for the Freerunner

2009-01-04 Thread Jos vd Snepscheut

Hello Sargun.

Yes I have a few programs I would like to pay for a little (as I did for
windows) 
1) a keyboard, yes yet an otherone, like Touchpal. See
http://www.CooTek.com.

TouchPal is an innovative soft keyboard on Windows Mobile platform, powered
by T+ input technology.
Why TouchPal?
It's Cool!

Flow your keyboard by sweeping with your finger!
Switch between three layouts: T+, Full-Qwerty, 9-key PhonePad.
Resize your keyboard anytime!

It's Easy!
Big buttons. Finger friendly.
Up to 300 chars/min, faster than your hard keyboard!
Input puntuations, numbers and uppercase letters without view switching

It's Smart!
Powerful mistyping correction
Clever prediction based on context
Predict next word

It's Innovative!
T+ technology. Predictive + Precise.
Word association
Super big dictionaries (40,000 English words, 140,000 French words...)

It's Customizable!
My Sentences with parameters (e.g., See you in X mins)
Customizable emotion symbols (e.g. :-o, ^_^)
You can develop your own layout or language pack with SDK tool. 


2) My agenda on my Desktop just like alarmToday see
http://www.pocketmax.net
starting apps and turning on/off wifi bluethooth is already don by
Openmokopanel

3) Make Openmokopanel better, less cpu and mem, possibility to make it lager
(my eyes are getting less)

This are my 2 cents (willing to pay a little bit more =^D, see price's an
the website's above. payment by paypall??)
hope this is wat you want,

Greetings,

Jos.

Hi Guys
I am using a shell script on Ubuntu which uses mplayer to play internet

Re: [debian] navit: rendering is slow

2009-01-04 Thread Petr Vanek
Now i see what you meant in navit (1885).
Only in the gui internal the setting 3D exist, not in the gui gtk.
Now when i click on 3D and change back to the map it is showm in 3D
mode.

yes, i use gui internal


But the problem is that the map is vry slow in 3D mode. I tried
it on my pc first and it needed ~5s to drag the map from A to B. I
think the problem is that in 3D mode navit still shows all items on
the map which results in overfilling at the horizon. I attached a
screenshot from my pc which shows the problem.

for some reason, i am not sure that it is that slow on my fr, but i
couldn't really use it either as the cursor is wrong way and therefore
the maps shows what's behind my car rather then in front of it :)

i think this is broken now in the 2D view as well...

I played a bit with the tilt=... parameter in navit.xml which should
adjust the tilt of the 3D view but it seems to have no effect. Also i
can't find any parameter to adjust the viewdistance for items on the
map or the map itself which should increase the speed a great bit.

i haven't had time to try to tweak those settings

What settings do you use that it is acceptable fast when you are using
the 3D view on your freerunner?

actually, my navit.org was attached to my email 29 Dec 2008 22:09:40
just i bit up in this thread. no special settings, i only got
uncommented settings for more on screen display items.

 I was just meddling with this in NAND, I believe that ro on the kernel

 2008.08 started up OK.

 So check your U-Boot env if you're using that for ro, or try adding rw
 to /boot/append-GTA02 if you are on SD Card and Qi.

 It's pretty common to boot with rootfs ro initially...

   I have these problems also, and adding rw to append-GTA02 didn't
 solve it. Full content of my /boot/append-GTA02 is this: console=tty0
 loglevel=8 rootdelay=1 rw (brainless copy-paste of everything related
 from Qi wiki page[1]).

Re: [FSO] Speed gps time to firxt fix up?

2009-01-04 Thread arne anka
i have to confess that, despite of reading your postings, i still fail to  
understand what exactly you are doing -- and moreover, i got the distinct  
impression, that a lot of your questions is caused by not doing rtfm  
(archives, wiki, ...)

 With the image from today in testing I get a fix and it seems to work.
 But with tangogps I then indeed get the message 'no gps found'.

 I have looked if gpsd is running but none of gpsd or fso-gpsd is running.
 Starting it with 'gpsd /dev/ttySAC1' works for me.

that for one is a fine example for what i was saying above.
someone already explained to you, that using gpsd in fso is not  
recommended!
accessing the gps device while fso manages it and thus bypassing  
frameworkd is a big DON'T -- explained already several times in the lists.

for running gpsd based apps with fso you have to use fso-gpsd -- fso-gpsd  
emulates the gpsd interface while working with fso.
remove gpsd, install/enable fso-gpsd (check the /etc/rc?.d/ folders) and  
you are good.

ps: please be more specific if ask -- i for one do not know what kind of  
image fso (more homework) is exactly, how it is preconfigured and what  
it contains.
make it people easy to help you!

 If the versions are compareable than it seems that your fso-frameworkd

 The only thing i know is that i had much problems with older fso-gpsd
 versions and now it works without problems. Maybe this is a point where
 you could investigate.
 
 Debian uses the complete fso framework inclusive zhone as phone
 application.
 
 I prefer debian because i have access to much more programs than with
 any other distro. Even things like openoffice, wireshark, firefox etc is
 available for the freerunner in debian. :)
 
 The other side is that it doesn't fit into the 256MB nand flash. The
 default install uses nearly 1GB but there seems to be people who tries
 to fit a slimed version into nand. But for me this is no problem if i
 have to install it on my sd-card (8GB). In return i have a full linux
 with normal windowmanager and all possibilities i want and need.
 
 The downside of this is that it is slower and consumes more memory than
 most other distros. I think with a bit less ressource hungry
 windowmanager it will improve quite a bit. But at the moment i use xfce
 with all nice extras. ;)
 
 Good thing is that i have one distro in nand and debian on my sd-card.
 So i can boot what i want when i want.

 Is debian as small to fit in internal flash (not on /media/card) ?

 is 0.8.4.3-20081215-1. Both are from the official debian repository.

 My FSO is the 'more homework' version 4.1.

 Installing gpsd really installs fso-gpsd. Installing tangogps
 complains
 about having two
 versions matching gpsg, eg. the fso-gpsd and the compatibility (gpsd)
 wrapper that seems
 to be installed with fso-gpsd.

 What version do you use exactly (image locations) ?

 fso-gpsd
 wasn't working good at all. But a few weeks ago i tried again to
 replace
 gpsd with fso-gpsd and since than it works ok.
 Interesting is that with fso-gpsd the gps chip is activated as soon
 as
 a
 connection to the fso-gpsd port is opened. And it is deactivated
 when
 the last connection closes. This feature has pros and cons but at
 the
 moment i like it. :)

Re: [2008.testing] GPS after resume

nice!

but would it not be possible to let the gps poweroff and artificially
feed it the last known sattelite positions? so that i can get a
hot-start after suspend, without using more power?

anyway, thanks for your contribution!

 I wrote attached patch for this few days ago - it is against mwester's stable

 Simply 'echo 1  
 /sys/bus/i2c/devices/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/keep_on_in_suspend'
 and it will stay alive during suspend (echo 0 to turn it off - this is also 
 the
 default).

 It also fixes a bug with re-enabling GPS on resume when it was on before
 (keep_on_in_suspend=0).

 I'm going to split this into 2 patches and send it to devel soon.

Re: A simple wifi solution for FSO ...

2009-01-04 Thread lollisoft

Hi,

I haven't the wpa-conf executable on my FSO 4.1. Also I have grepped for it
with opkg list | grep wpa.

Where did I get this script / application ?

With this and with more than one configuration in wpa_supplicant.conf, do I
get a uninteruptable
wlan, if both wlans are in the same house while I am walking around in it ?

Meaning, I listen to a shoutcast stream witn mplayer :-)

Thanks

 I was just meddling with this in NAND, I believe that ro on the kernel
 commandline is fatal for startup of 2008.12.  When I removed it from Qi,
 2008.08 started up OK.

 So check your U-Boot env if you're using that for ro, or try adding rw
 to /boot/append-GTA02 if you are on SD Card and Qi.

 It's pretty common to boot with rootfs ro initially...

   I have these problems also, and adding rw to append-GTA02 didn't
solve it. Full content of my /boot/append-GTA02 is this: console=tty0
loglevel=8 rootdelay=1 rw (brainless copy-paste of everything related
from Qi wiki page[1]).
   Problem is, I can't even tell for sure if Neo (Qi actually) boots
from uSD or NAND. Hurting my eyes on running on-screen log I saw
something like Waiting for 1sec before rootfs, which suggests that
it's Qi taking appeng-GTA02 into consideration. Still I have multiple
read-only filesystem tar warnings.
   Every power-up after battery out+in gives Neo several seconds to
boot up -- detailed logs on screen -- then it just switches off. Next
boots freezes like described by other people in this thread. First
successful boot freezed on these lines in on-screen log:
asoc: WM8753 HiFi - s3c24xx-2c mapping ok
asoc: WM8753 Voice - Bluetooth mappgin ok
Only GTA01 hardware supported by ASoc driver
   Next successful boot ended up with previous lines plus this
(... means long message):
mount: special device /dev/mmcblk0p1 does not exist
ALSA: ...
... load_state:1327: No soundcard found...
usb0: link is not ready
done.
   And it freezed again. uSD card must be good, because I can
read-write it through notebook card reader and if I go to NAND menu
and modify boot command line to load from uSD, it works just fine.
Behaviour is unstable: I could boot (from NAND!) *once* while trying
to boot from uSD/Qi , and it's the same with 2008.12 release as well
as with 04.01.2009 testing. I also boot with SIM card inserted so weak
uSD reader contacts shouldn't be an issue.
   Should I return to u-boot technique for starting up Neo? I wanted
to give Qi a try for it is a modern way of doing things.

I just bought a cheap car charger which has a USB slot, and I must say
it works very well with the FreeRunner. As a bonus, I can also charge my
other Samsung phone with it (with the USB data cable that came with
it :))

Then I also bought a cheap (5 €) mobile holder for the car - modified it
slightly and now it holds my FR for GPS navigation and I can still plug
in the charger, so that the display doesn't dim while navigating ;).

Re: [FSO] Speed gps time to firxt fix up?

2009-01-04 Thread Fox Mulder
If the versions are compareable than it seems that your fso-frameworkd
is newer (0.8.4.40.8.4.3) and fso-gpsd is older (0.70.8).
The only thing i know is that i had much problems with older fso-gpsd
versions and now it works without problems. Maybe this is a point where
you could investigate.

Debian uses the complete fso framework inclusive zhone as phone application.

I prefer debian because i have access to much more programs than with
any other distro. Even things like openoffice, wireshark, firefox etc is
available for the freerunner in debian. :)

The other side is that it doesn't fit into the 256MB nand flash. The
default install uses nearly 1GB but there seems to be people who tries
to fit a slimed version into nand. But for me this is no problem if i
have to install it on my sd-card (8GB). In return i have a full linux
with normal windowmanager and all possibilities i want and need.

The downside of this is that it is slower and consumes more memory than
most other distros. I think with a bit less ressource hungry
windowmanager it will improve quite a bit. But at the moment i use xfce
with all nice extras. ;)

Good thing is that i have one distro in nand and debian on my sd-card.
So i can boot what i want when i want.

 Rainer

 Fso-gpsd IS the gpsd compatibility wrapper which does the same what gpsd
 does for the client applications. So be sure not to have fso-gpsd and
 gpsd installed. Both programs try to access the gps which doesn't work.

 My current version of fso-gpsd in debian is 0.8-2 and my fso-frameworkd

 which
 downloads the almanac and ephemeris from ublox for my region.
 The problem is, that the gps chip doesn't have any internal memory
 why
 it needs to download all relevant gps data every time it is powered
 up.
 So i thought if it is possible to save the relevant gps data before
 shutting down the gps which can be done by fso-gpsd or kernel
 automatically. Than after starting the gps fso-gpsd/kernel feeds back
 the data to speed up the TTFF. This would be the same way most gps
 receivers work.
 Maybe this is already implemented somewhere but i don't think so
 

[2008.12] Best media player?

2009-01-04 Thread rakshat hooja
i have 2008.12 working great on my FR as a phone. But the image did not come
with a preinstalled media player. SO I was wondering what would be the best
media (just music) player option that can be installed on om 2008.12.  I was
quite happy with the QT Extended media played so can that be installed on OM
2008.12?

GPS looses fix too early (inhouse)

2009-01-04 Thread lollisoft

Hi,

I have had Om2008/9 before FSO and with that I had also not my new SDHC card
(16GB).

With that differences in mind:

What could I do to check why the GPS seems to be less stable than before ?

Get the clock speed for both cards to compare, if they are different ?
When different, reducing clock speed of new SD card ?

Or is there still an issue with the current FSO image from today ?

My phone is a FR with hardware fix for the SD card issue.

Thanks

Lothar

hi lothar,
you might want to read http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Customize_Application_Icons
Also i noticed that you may have to change the section Categories= in
the respective .desktop file, because some keywords like e.g. Utilitiy
let it appear on the desktop and some don't. Maybe someone else knows

 i have been using navit on freerunner a lot lately and really love
 the new 3D view (although the latest build moved the view from front
 to back :) (i suppose this is due to wrong cursor orientation).
 How do you switch to 3D view in navit?
 The only option which changes the view is the menu entry for
 projection. But none of the two selectable views looks like the 3d
 pictures on the navit homepage. And in navit.xml i can't find any 3D
 options.
 So please light me up a bit. :)

 i use svn versions, right now navit - svn-1882
 
 this is my feed:
 
 src navit
 http://download.navit-project.org/navit/openmoko/svn 
 
 The 3D option is in the menu Settings - Display - 3D
 
 When it first appeared about a week ago it was really different from
 what 3D should be but after update yesterday it already does have 3D
 look. only (as i mentioned already) it seems to travel in wrong
 direction.

Now i see what you meant in navit (1885).
Only in the gui internal the setting 3D exist, not in the gui gtk.
Now when i click on 3D and change back to the map it is showm in 3D mode.

But the problem is that the map is vry slow in 3D mode. I tried
it on my pc first and it needed ~5s to drag the map from A to B. I think
the problem is that in 3D mode navit still shows all items on the map
which results in overfilling at the horizon. I attached a screenshot
from my pc which shows the problem.

I played a bit with the tilt=... parameter in navit.xml which should
adjust the tilt of the 3D view but it seems to have no effect. Also i
can't find any parameter to adjust the viewdistance for items on the map
or the map itself which should increase the speed a great bit.

What settings do you use that it is acceptable fast when you are using
the 3D view on your freerunner?

Re: Car Charger?

2009-01-04 Thread lollisoft

Just an idea,

I haven't seen quickly which car charger or other charger works without more
than yust pluging it into the
USB slot.

A table stating this would be quite good :-)

Using the 12V/220V converter is another option - even a more universal one
:-)

Another question: Does someone have seen a docking station like item to
place the phone when driving
with navigation. This could also have a built in car charger :-)

Thanks

Re: [FSO] Speed gps time to firxt fix up?

2009-01-04 Thread lollisoft

Using sdcard for debian may be no problem. What I currently don't know, is
if I still can use uBoot or have to install Qi with seems may fail. I don't
want to
kill the boot manager accidantly and then be unable to reflash :-)

But this is RTFM I must do :-(

BTW, I have a 16GB card that is working - at least seen with navit accessing
the
germany.bin file :-)

Currently I download the new FSO image from today to see if there are no
more
problems with GPS.

What has been failed is upgrading from 4.1 to testing as I then no more have
any
XServer or GUI :-(

 If the versions are compareable than it seems that your fso-frameworkd

 The only thing i know is that i had much problems with older fso-gpsd
 versions and now it works without problems. Maybe this is a point where
 you could investigate.
 
 Debian uses the complete fso framework inclusive zhone as phone
 application.
 
 I prefer debian because i have access to much more programs than with
 any other distro. Even things like openoffice, wireshark, firefox etc is
 available for the freerunner in debian. :)
 
 The other side is that it doesn't fit into the 256MB nand flash. The
 default install uses nearly 1GB but there seems to be people who tries
 to fit a slimed version into nand. But for me this is no problem if i
 have to install it on my sd-card (8GB). In return i have a full linux
 with normal windowmanager and all possibilities i want and need.
 
 The downside of this is that it is slower and consumes more memory than
 most other distros. I think with a bit less ressource hungry
 windowmanager it will improve quite a bit. But at the moment i use xfce
 with all nice extras. ;)
 
 Good thing is that i have one distro in nand and debian on my sd-card.
 So i can boot what i want when i want.

 useful to disabling illume to lower the brightness and the like.

 Is this possible within a script ?

 I only deinstalled gpsd and installed fso-gpsd. Some time ago fso-gpsd

 replace
 gpsd with fso-gpsd and since than it works ok.
 Interesting is that with fso-gpsd the gps chip is activated as soon as
 a
 connection to the fso-gpsd port is opened. And it is deactivated when
 the last connection closes. This feature has pros and cons but at the
 moment i like it. :)

 The only problem is that the TTFF (time to first fix) is always 1
 minute and sometimes it needs quite a lot of time. The only solution
 for
 me to be sure to get a fix within 30 sec is to use the agps tool
 which
 downloads the almanac and ephemeris from ublox for my region.
 The problem is, that the gps chip doesn't have any internal memory
 why
 it needs to download all relevant gps data every time it is powered
 up.
 So i thought if it is possible to save the relevant gps data before
 shutting down the gps which can be done by fso-gpsd or kernel
 automatically. Than after starting the gps fso-gpsd/kernel feeds back
 the data to speed up the TTFF. This would be the same way most gps
 receivers work.
 Maybe this is already implemented somewhere but i don't think so
 because
 the TTFF without agps is always quite slow.

Buying a FrogPad in the UK

2009-01-04 Thread Thomas White
Hi all,

I'm interested in buying a FrogPad keyboard to use with my FreeRunner,
but I can't find a UK distributor.  According to www.frogpad.com, the
UK distributor is Scan, but their website denies all knowledge of it.
I also drew a blank with Amazon, Dabs and even eBay.  Has anyone in the
UK (or even in Europe) bought one recently?

Thanks,

Tom

When you say it boots, do you mean it got all the way to an X desktop?

It sounds like you might be experiencing a crash when suspending or
resuming, and auto-suspend is switched on.  You can disable this in
Settings.  I used to have problems like yours (almost every time I
enabled automatic suspend, I would get resume problems), but now they

[QtExtended] Proper way to invoke suspend?

2009-01-04 Thread Martin Bernreuther
Hello,

on a Linux system (with ACPI) it is possible to invoke a suspend through

echo -n mem  /sys/power/state

(see http://ols.fedoraproject.org/OLS/Reprints-2008/brown-reprint.pdf (chapter 
5, 6th page 42);
 http://www.linux.com/articles/54610, 
http://acpi.sourceforge.net/documentation/sleep.html,
 http://www.columbia.edu/~ariel/acpi/acpi_howto.txt (section 23.2),
 
http://www.linux-magazin.de/heft_abo/ausgaben/2004/02/einschlaf_hilfen/(offset)/2
 (german),...)

Qt Extended on the Neo Freerunner
(http://moko.mwester.net/download/uImage-gta02-g291a9d50_mwester-stable.bin +
 
http://other.lastnetwork.net/OpenMoko/qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2)
seems to be APM based
(/sys/power/state is also present and `echo mem  /sys/power/state` works)
and `cat /proc/apm` shows some information.
Working on a console (if you have one, which is not default for QtExtended), 
section 12.18.8.1.1
of 
http://www.uibk.ac.at/linuxdoc/LDP/LDP/Mobile-Guide/html/mobile-guide-p2c1s8-apm.html
shows a nice way to keep an eye on the battery state through the command prompt:
export PS1=\$(cat /proc/apm | awk '{print \$7}') \h:\w\$ 
Invoking a suspend on a APM based systems can be done with

apm -s

I noticed /etc/apm/suspend.d/gsm_suspend, which executes
echo 1 /sys/devices/platform/neo1973-pm-gsm.0/flowcontrolled
Is this also needed for a proper suspend? (It seems to work without that.)


In contrast to the information about e.g. how to turn on/off LEDs 
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/FreeRunner/Buttons_and_LEDs)
I didn't find this in the OpenMoko Wiki. Maybe because OpenMoko offers the
Ompower Power management daemon:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Ompower

This service seems not to be available for QtExtended:

r...@om-gta02:~# dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.openmoko.Power / 
org.openmoko.Power.Core.ListResources
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.openmoko.Power 
was not provided by any .service files

which is not astonishing since
ompower is a suspend handling daemon talking dbus installed by default since 
Om 2008.8
but apparently not by QtExtended (and /usr/share/dbus-1/services/ is empty).

QtExtended offers (formerly QCop and now Qtopia IPC based) services 
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/services.html),
which include a pre-defined suspend service 
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/suspendservice.html)
(also cmp. /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/services)
The qcop command-line tool 
(http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/qcop-tool.html) should also be capable 
to do the job:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/lib
export PATH=/opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin:$PATH

qcop service send Suspend 'suspend()'


There might be more ways to do a suspend...


What is the proper way to suspend the Freerunner for QtExtended?
(Probably the last one. But is there more to be done?)

The next question will be how to configure the lock icon (padlock.png for finxi)
on the home screen (the rightmost icon on the bottom) to be connected with the
suspend command/service... (instead of Screen Lock)

Re: Using mplayer with seme desktop symbols for streaming stations and wlan :-)

2009-01-04 Thread Daniel Nöthen
I've just found out that you can control mplayer via a fifo file.
So to quit mplayer in a good way you could do the following:
1. Create a fifo somewhere:
   mkfifo mplayer_fifo

2. Start mplayer within your script like this:
mplayer -quiet myradiostation -input file=mplayer_fifo

3. Write this into your stop script:
echo quit mplayer_fifo

 Proper way is to just let it suspend on it's own.

My problem is, that sometimes it won't...
(see http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-December/038807.html)
Let's assume the On Battery Power Management settings for
Dim light, Display off and Suspend are 10s, 30s and 1min
and after using the phone, I'll put it in a pocket. The touch screen will be 
touched
all the time... and Suspend (or even Display off etc) might never be 
reached!
And that's very bad for the operating time!

  The next question will be how to configure the lock icon (padlock.png for 
  finxi)

  the
  suspend command/service... (instead of Screen Lock)
 
 You would have to edit the code and recompile, as this is not how the screen 
 lock currently works.

Screen lock currently will only lock the screen, but won't assure the
Suspend (or Display off, if Suspend is disabled etc) to happen.
(If nothing will touch the screen, I don't need a screen lock.)
Why is the Screen lock not setting the display to Display off or even
invoke a suspend (if this is enabled) after a couple of seconds.
That's better for the battery, or not?

Therefore the idea to manually suspend the FR...
and to have an icon for that, which is easy to reach and not needed any more,
since the screen of a suspended FR needs not to be locked.

Re: (OM2008.12) Blackness

2009-01-04 Thread William Kenworthy
Go into settings and turn suspend off. When suspended, you should just
have to push the power button briefly and it will come out of suspend -
however it rarely did for me, and even if it did it was broken requiring
a reboot anyway.

Install the illume theme (see wiki) and use the wrench illume settings
app to set blanking and suspend up properly. Forget the standard asu
theme ...

Most of the distros are close to useless unless you spend time tuning
and fixing things - swapping distros like you mention wont tell much :)

So I think the subject saying [FSO] is also a little bit too less, because
it will be used in
two different contexts eg. the framework versus a complete distribution FSO.
The documentation
itself lists FSO beside SHR and others. 

See http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Distributions 
Stating 'This next release can be previewed by installing milestones of the
FSO - Free Smartphone.Org project.'

This is just my mind about the name FSO.

But what I mean with 'more homework' is as of the readme file from here:
http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-stable/milestone4.1/README.html

Maybe posting a link to the image directly is more precise, but I have
always searched for
the images link. I have remembered 'more homework' and thus used it in
thought others remember too :-)

I think I also should use 'FSO-image' instead of FSO when meaning the image.

Now, what am I doing:

Testing images and try to get the most hardware components running for my
private usage.
The answer from Fox was to reinstall gpsd and not fso-gpsd and later he went
back. So I tried
this and struggled.

Fox was also not on the FSO image, but on the Debian with FSO framework.
Maybe he could
do that but I am not (FSO image). I think bebause of Zhune.

Beside all that: The newer testing image from here
http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-testing/images/om-gta02/openmoko-fso-image-glibc-ipk--20090104-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
at least has a partly functioning GPS.

It behaves more unstable thus earlier loss of a fix (in car / behind a
window). The Om2008/9 image as from
http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.9/ has worked much better
inside a room.

This may also be a difference between my microSD cards (factory delivered
Transent SD card / Sandisk SDHC 16GB as reported here 'Booting from large
microSD (SDHC) [success]'). I will test that next time.

Also I should test Om2008/9 with my new microSD card to figure out what it
is exactly.

I hope to be more precise soon :-)

 Hello Sargun.

 Yes I have a few programs I would like to pay for a little (as I did for
 windows)
 1) a keyboard, yes yet an otherone, like Touchpal. See
 http://www.CooTek.com.

 TouchPal is an innovative soft keyboard on Windows Mobile platform, powered
 by T+ input technology.
 Why TouchPal?
 It's Cool!

 Flow your keyboard by sweeping with your finger!
 Switch between three layouts: T+, Full-Qwerty, 9-key PhonePad.
 Resize your keyboard anytime!

 It's Easy!
 Big buttons. Finger friendly.
 Up to 300 chars/min, faster than your hard keyboard!
 Input puntuations, numbers and uppercase letters without view switching

 It's Smart!
 Powerful mistyping correction
 Clever prediction based on context
 Predict next word

 It's Innovative!
 T+ technology. Predictive + Precise.
 Word association
 Super big dictionaries (40,000 English words, 140,000 French words...)

 It's Customizable!
 My Sentences with parameters (e.g., See you in X mins)
 Customizable emotion symbols (e.g. :-o, ^_^)
 You can develop your own layout or language pack with SDK tool.


 2) My agenda on my Desktop just like alarmToday see
 http://www.pocketmax.net
 starting apps and turning on/off wifi bluethooth is already don by
 Openmokopanel

 3) Make Openmokopanel better, less cpu and mem, possibility to make it lager
 (my eyes are getting less)

 This are my 2 cents (willing to pay a little bit more =^D, see price's an
 the website's above. payment by paypall??)
 hope this is wat you want,

 Greetings,

 Jos.

 So, I want to start my Freerunner development back up. I was thinking
 of a few different Apps to write, please give your comments (Tell me
 what you want):



 A) Assassin game
 A game where you can 'kill' other Openmokos, it would like Via
 Bluetooth/Wifi. This would mostly be a gimmick based off of
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassin_%28game%29
 B) Open Source Push
 Everybody has heard of Push, right. This whole Push E-mail, Push
 application notification. I was basically playing with the idea of
 writing a push framework for the Freerunner. People could write apps
 that would be triggered by emails, weather changes, etc.
 C) Traffic monitoring, and call management
 This idea entails that when you are driving at high speeds on the
 roads, it'll put your phone into a silent profile mode. It could also
 setup call forwarding/allow an SMS to come in that would unlock the
 freerunner's mode, in case of emergency call.

 Now one thing, I'm planning on charging for these apps. A tiny bit,
 but still a bit. I need the cash.

 So, tell me what do you guys want to buy first?

Not so true, tinymail will use IMAP IDLE if available and that is a push
mechanism.

IMAP IDLE is not a push mechanism... SMS is a push mechanism.
Something that doesn't require the FR to be out of suspend mode before
a push... Also,  tinymail is designed around e-mail messages, and
isn't designed as a general purpose push mechanism.

I have a v2 (Neo1973) debug board in Vancouver, but you shouldn't need

I haven't read all of the previous messages in this thread so someone

Don't pay too much attention to the dfu-util -l output - there are two 
different modes the device can be in, and in the default one you don't 
see the other alternate settings listed. When you run the dfu-util 
Download command it should automatically set the device into the

December Google analytic report of Wiki

Dear Documentation team and Community :
I updated the December 2008 google analytic report of of wiki.
You can check it on follow link :
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Wiki_statistic_numbers#December.2C_2008

Here is the summaries :
1. Compared to November , December's visits and pageviews was lower. Probably 
caused by Christmas holidays.
2. Application page's rank was higher than last month. 
3. There was many people use zagg discount code as the keyword to search for 
Zagg Protection Discount Number. That's pretty cool.
