   I gave it a shot and made a new keyboard. It's only 2 days old, but
 it's
   working well for me so I'm announcing it.
  
  I uploaded it on opkg.org. I fixed the layout a bit, and added support
 for
  xrandr (so it now rotates nicely and has a different layout for
 horizontal).

 The keyboard should not control this, but pay attention to
 XRRScreenChangeNotifyEvent

 If the screen is rotated with xrandr, the keyboard will know.

 Right now, this is reason enough for me not to even try the keyboard as I
 run omnewrotate
 constantly :)


Rui, that's exactly what it does, so it's safe to try :-)

This isn't the case under thunderbird. Assuming you still have the

Of course I'm not saying this isn't happening to you, just that it

 Hi all ,

 Just flash to help testing :)

 I really love paroli ! Better each release appearing :)

Awesome!

 I found the same issue than Michal, not a real problem, but it's hard to
 scroll without clicking.

Could you specify on what views (or all?) is this?

 BTW, with testing release 4 you could return into illume by changing the
 profile, but now I change profile to illume without any effect... is it
 still possible ?

 How to access to apps ?

INteresting.. It should be no problem to change to illume or
paroli-serenity theme.. I have no idea what's this about..

The dots will be removed, they're there to help the design a bit..

 I'd still like to see a visual indication of 'slidyness' - when things can

I agree but I don't think it'll happen..

 I'll have to do more testing before I can comment on the reliability.

colourful icons. Let's see if at some stage Paroli has something of
that..

   - stole liberally from the Tango icon set.

That's the way to do it :)

   - Added actual button-like images behind the buttons

This is good!

   - adjusted the SMS display into a 'conversational' mode where all recent
 messages to and from a specific person are grouped together.

Ah ok, so clickingn on the list item will open the SMS view, that's
nice, I like it. What'd you think how to decide if a SMS belongs to a
group or it's an individual msg?

Nice to have you doing some designing for Paroli!

[...]
 About my experiments I just discovered that some applications simply
 refuse to process XSendEvents for security reasons. This is bad, as
 using X you may differentiate virtual injected keys events based on
 the destination applications, so AUX may trigger enter to one, F11
 to another and so on.
 As of that I think we need to filter events at input lever layer
 (other ideas or solutions are welcome of course).

I just found XTestFakeKeyEvent, it should work, so another solution
may be a daemon that grabs Aux and Power buttons, handle them and
injects key events.
The daemon may ask the WM for the active window, retrieve it's
displayed name and differentiate key injection according to a
configuration file.

 Il try to contact Theodoros Kalamatianos, the author of actkbd [1]  to
 ask him for the support for such complex key shortcut, as it's daemon
 already has keyboard event injection and use 2.6 linux event
 interface.

Theodoros has no time actually, but he's interested in such

Re: Om2009 testing release 5

2009-06-17 Thread Laszlo KREKACS
Hi!

Its nice to read all this positive comments so far!

Almost all question was answered by Risto. I just want to give a small summary.

# Landscape vs. portrai mode

It is not a high priority (for me at least) for now. Simply because until now,
I couldnt rotate the screen of my phone, and couldnt test it.
We are concentrating to bugfix only, and after the stable release is out,
we will focus cleaning up all the gui code, and fix most of the placing issue.

For example there is a slight offset between fullscreen and windowed mode,
we cant just hide the topbar, etc, etc. And when rotating, all this
placing issues
just show up all at once. So its rather a big job, as I see.

# Battery showing 33% when full.

Its a problem what shr is suffering too. The main issue, that three battery are
reported, and the batt app, averaging them.

It should be fixed already, but nytowl can give you the exact details.

# Scrolling

Most of the apps, are designed against the accidental clicks when scrolling.
Like for example the call-log app, when you click it will slide left
for you, instead
calling the contact directly.

However, the settings app differ from the other apps, and it register an
additional click each time you finish scrolling. I looked into this issue, and
its hard to solve, as I need to understand the py code, because it differs from
other list too much. Dont know if Im able to solve it by myself in a
reasonable time.

Every other apps should be fine. (call-log, people, sms, dialer)

 4. I don't see a way to reject an incoming call.
You can only mute them. Yepp, its missing. But before, if you didnt
accepted the call, fso silently failed, so it was encouraged, that
everybody should pick up the phone ;-P

I agree, it needs to be fixed. But you can use the mute for now.


# General remark

Guys, did you restart your phones at least twice after reflashing?

It's a problem of both hal and the way E gadget calculates the
percentages. HAL reports three batteries, only one of which is real
power_supply device, other being APM emulated battery and the third is
external usb supply. It's believed that hal is wrong and shouldn't
report those extra batteries. OTOH if E gadget didn't average
percentages and took capacities into account those extra devices
wouldn't affect readings because both usb and apm lack maximum
capacity attribute and therefore should be ignored, IMHO.

You're right! Some hours after writing this (in the bus :) I realised
that no, it has nothing to do with Paroli but Openmoko, the

 Awesome!

  I found the same issue than Michal, not a real problem, but it's hard to
  scroll without clicking.

 Could you specify on what views (or all?) is this?


for the people view, it's ok, scrolling nicely without clicking, but in
the settings menu, I put my finger on item A, then scroll up/down, when I
release it, the item A is automatically clicked.




  BTW, with testing release 4 you could return into illume by changing the
  profile, but now I change profile to illume without any effect... is it
  still possible ?
 
  How to access to apps ?

 INteresting.. It should be no problem to change to illume or
 paroli-serenity theme.. I have no idea what's this about..


Accually it was a first shot problem, after reboot, no pb selecting
paroli-serenity (which look great to me !) Maybe a button to put paroli in
fullscreen mode would be more useful than changing the profile ?

Re: new qwerty keyboard, Literki

2009-06-17 Thread Patryk Benderz
Hi Michal,
Great idea!
I was wondering... it would be much more comfortable to type letters, if
keyboard would be full screen (i have big hands). Yes, i know it would
be harder to read, but letters of the keyboard itself could be
transparent too. Consider it Michael, and thanks for your contribution.

P.S. I am waiting for Polish diacritic signs ;)

  I've finally spent some time (when I should have been sleeping) and put
  together a rather rough mockup showing a bit of how I'd like to see the
  Paroli UI looking.   I'm not sure how great a reception this'll get,
 since I
  there seems to be a minimalist trend in the current Paroli design.But
  frankly, I didn't buy a device with a nice 640x480 display to have a
  monochrome UI!!  ;-)
 
  You can see my mockup at:

  Few comments on what I did:
 
- fired up the gimp -- I definitely don't have time to figure out how
 to
  do all this stuff in edje, I'm afraid...
 
- stole liberally from the Tango icon set.
 
- Added actual button-like images behind the buttons
 
- adjusted the SMS display into a 'conversational' mode where all
 recent
  messages to and from a specific person are grouped together.
 
Comments and counter-suggestions definitely welcome!!!

Re: Paroli SMS mockup image

2009-06-17 Thread Warren Baird
yeah, I think that trying to build a formal discussion thread is probably
too much.   My thought was that basically any msgs from the same sender in a
certain period of time of the last message from that sender (configurable -
at least an hour, I'd think) would be grouped into the same conversation.
I forgot, but there should be a 'new message' button somewhere in the bubble
for each conversation, that sends a reply to the person the conversation is
with.

Don't know how it's best to handle messages sent to multiple recipients - I
guess they each spawn separate conversation threads?

2009-06-17 Thread pike
Hi

 Being only two buttons, they shouldn't ever be hardwired to specific
 functions, but instead have different actions according to the foreground
 application.

It's only two buttons, but they send a signal
each second. It may sound weird, but I think
I wouldnt mind having a different function under
every second - provided the button would beep every
second while pressed too, so I could countdown.
I'd put the keyboard toggle at beep 3. For example.

I got that idea while looking at siglaunchd
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Siglaunchd
which can do all that (and more).

and I tried to set it up, but didnt get
a BEEP working sofar :-) Does anyone know
how to beep() ?

 Ok, you're right, fresh install should have this working out of the

Ok, while we're at it. I just went to Paroli settings - display and set the
profile to illume-serenity. It looked very nice, black and everything, and
the battery applet was showing the state correctly (!). But the illume
keyboard was back again, and I couldn't turn it off as the illume-settings
button was now gone. So I switched back to illume profile. I then went to
illume-settings, switched the theme to Serenity. Now I have Serenity again,
the illume keyboard is turned off again (yay), the battery app shows the
state wrong (!), and Paroli settings say that the theme is still Illume.

I don't understand anything from this, why is Paroli duplicating the options
from illume-settings?

And a more general question, is Paroli trying to be more than a phone app?
Is it going to replace illume?

In addition I have the problem that switching of suspend from paroli (i

does not have any effect. The same when i set up no dimming in the illume

hi,
you seem wanting to install the ipk without its dependencies.
personally I do bitbake package-index,then I push my deploy dir to my
server-router.
Then I do opkg update on the device and install the package with opkg
install $package-name
Denis.
   
   Yes, that part I understood, but it is the very first time something like
   this happened to me. Why isn't it using the proper versions?
 
  There are several possibilities:
  *or the dependences aren't included in fso
 
 Hardly. it's fso-testing or fso-unstable and the phone had a daily image.
 
  *or you use a more up to date fso version than the released one(in
  openembedded)
 
 How do you get a more up to date? Makes no sense.
 However it seems it's picking up svn elementary and other E libs. What is
 the environment I should use?
 
   Am I not neither on unstable nor testing if using Om2009.06.11 daily?
   
   This doesn't make sense, what about if I want to distribute the ipk?
   
   What will happen when I want to make a new omnewrotate ipk? The same?
   
   For me this means my environment is borked :(
   
   Rui
 
  Maybe just distribute the dependencies with the ipks? or...better ask
  openembedded or fso or SHR to include your recipe.
 
 Makes no sense as:
   1. it's not supposed to carry all the subversion files but some more or
  less stable releases
   2. why would I send a recipe for software that is so much in development
  I may need to add libraries at will?
 
  I don't know the process for fso or SHR but for openembedded the
  preferred way is to send a patch to the mailing list
  then ask fso,shr etc... to include your application in your feed,it's
  just a mather of adding the name of your application to the task making
  the feed.
 
 How can that make sense with an application that's still being developed and
 not yet stable enough for a release?
 
 :(
You may want to ask help on the openembedded mailing list then.
There was some breakage with the enlightenment libraries some time ago.
I didn't understood very well the technical part of the whole
story(there were a fix that didn't work,breaking upgrade paths etc...and
it was very complicated...not all of us understood it)
by the way I only saw svn versions of the enlightenment libraries in
org.openenembedded.dev

[shr-testing] intone 0.51 messing around with audio output

2009-06-17 Thread jeremy jozwik
ill try and explain this the best i can. just a moment ago i was listening
to an album of the sd card via my headphones. intone played a complete song
perfectly fine, but when  intone switched to the next song in the playlist
the audio cut out from the right headphone speaker and my mokos left speaker
was activated. so suddenly my whole office herd a blip of a strange chinese
woman singing...

the last version i had, i believe it was 0.1 managed to play song to song
entirely via the headphones.
so i am wondering what has happened?
is it a new issue?
is there a previous version that is more up-to-date that does not do this?

version installed

 google and searching on the wiki haven't helped me find info on how to set
 this up.   I've actually got om2009 on my sd-card right now, so it isn't
 something I need right away - but I think I'm getting confident enough in
 OM2009 that I'll soon ditch the QtE install I've been keeping for
 'emergencies' on the built-in flash.

To get bind-home to work

Make sure there isn't a bind-home directory first 

ls /media/card/bind-hone

If this exists you are already using bind-home, otherwise keep following the 
directions below

mv /home/root /media/card/bind-home
mkdir /home/root

reboot

The same for me:
flashed the current images yesterday in the evening. kernel, rootfs and qi.
main problems:
- I could not switch off auto-suspend.
- after pressing the power-button to resume all I get is a wsod :(
So the phone was just usable one minute after a too long boot-period and
then a brick.

A question:
How reliable is wifi-networking and gprs? any experiences?

Carry on that way, it's always good to see, something is developing
around here! :)

 I flashed Om2009 r5 as well an can confirm most of the described problems.

 In addition I have the problem that switching of suspend from paroli (i
 assume this is done by setting suspend time to -1), as well as in illume
 does not have any effect. The same when i set up no dimming in the illume
 power settings. I dont remember exactly if this was working in r4 but I
 think it was.

 Besides that you have done a great work so far! Thanks guys!

I've filed a ticket about the suspend-time bug at

It was working on testing release 4.

As a workaround I've commented out the following
in /etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml:
# -
# trigger: IdleState()
# filters: HasAttr(status, suspend)

Did you RESTART the phone after flashing and first boot?

 A question:

Both seem to work nice.

 But you don't need the keyboard in the main paroli window :)

 Being only two buttons, they shouldn't ever be hardwired to specific

US triband vs EU triband

2009-06-17 Thread Joerg Reisenweber
I just confirmed basic functionality of 850/1800/1900 devices (US Freerunner) 
for 900MHz networks. RF sensitivity is poor, but sufficient for areas with 
good coverage.
For Germany a US device (850/1800/1900) worked flawlessly with German operator 
T-Kom (in urban area), and rather poor with Vodafone. Both are 900MHz 
networks.

Please notice I didn't yet check for the actual band used, so *if* T-Kom *and* 
Vodafone both had 1800MHz BTS here in the tested area, then this report might 
be moot. Anyway the result meets expected behaviour and 1800MHz BTS are not 
known for either operator.

cheers

 agreed - not on a touchscreen. on a physical kbd... maybe, as you are more

 closer and more likey to be under 1 fingertip and feelable. but
 absolutely
 not a touchscreen.


 For Comparision sakes, illustrated a key-press on both.
 I really don't see any advantage ... or is it just me.

Re:new qwerty keyboard, Literki

2009-06-17 Thread Aapo Rantalainen
Literki is very promising keyboard. I have one suggestion: ButtonPress
- ButtonRelease. Typing is still fast but you can 'cancel' if you
realized pressing wrong area.
keys.cpp:153
- case ButtonPress: {
+ case ButtonRelease: {

display:206
-   ButtonPressMask |
+   ButtonPressMask | ButtonReleaseMask |


I think there should be project page for Literki. Just screenshot and
default literki.conf with explanation is a good start (binary+sources
of course)

Re: Is a FreeRunner sufficient for me?

1. Are there applications with all of the specific features I listed,
though?  My Nokia 6103b has some basic organiser applications, such as for
calender and task lists, but it does not have all of the features I listed.

I can live without PC sync as long as my information is safe in my
FreeRunner (stored in non-volatile memory in case the battery dies).  I do
not even have my Nokia 6103b synced with my PC because I cannot get Nokia PC
Suite to connect to my phone via Bluetooth.  I have to use Bluetooth because
I do not have a data cable for my phone.  I could buy a cable, but I am not
very motiviated to do so because I do not need PC sync.

2. Is the FreeRunner’s display readable without a backlight?  My Nokia
6103b’s display has a backlight, but the backlight turns off after a few
seconds of inactivity.  However, this is OK because I can still read the
display without the backlight.  However, I have seen some cell phones, such
as my dad’s Samsung, where both the display and backlight turn off after a
few seconds of inactivity.  This is not very usable for me, especially since
I am a relatively slow reader to start with.

3. I leave my Nokia 6103b on for about 16 hours or less per day.  I do not
use it for most of that time.  When I do use it, it is usually for SMS or
organiser applications, not for voice calls.  Will the FreeRunner’s battery

if you poweroff WIFI and GPS you might get 6-8 hours depending on screen

 3. I leave my Nokia 6103b on for about 16 hours or less per day.  I do not
 use it for most of that time.  When I do use it, it is usually for SMS or
 organiser applications, not for voice calls.  Will the FreeRunner’s battery
 life be OK for my usage?


 if you poweroff WIFI and GPS you might get 6-8 hours depending on screen
 brightness.


Do you mean 6-8 hours with the screen on or off?  If off, that is very poor
compared to my Nokia 6103b:  I can leave my Nokia 6103b on for days before
the battery meter reaches ¼ (the battery meter uses 1-4 bars).


 there are also suspend functions which expand battery life. i cant say how
 much because im on an older OS version and my suspend is non-functional :)


I never need to use suspend on my Nokia 6103b.  I do not think it even has a
suspend mode  — at least not one the user can activate.

 basically with my computer usb cable at work and my car charger i have
battery all day

With my Nokia 6103b, I can have battery for multiple days (more days if it
is only for 16 hours or less per day) without recharging.

Yeah I'll second that. For the period mine was in active use I never 
once had the issue. I'm on vodafone btw.

that's with screen on.  i can easily get a couple days out of my fone if
it's entirely idle.  your nokia suspends/sleeps, it's just not a user
visible thing.

First and second complaints that my handset suffers from the buzz last
night. Anyone handy with a soldering iron in Canberra feel like a buzz
fix party?

I'll CC this to the Canberra Linux Users Group mailing list since
there are several people on that list who were part of the group
purchase and I'm pretty sure they don't all subscribe to this list.

I am from Uruguay and don't have any other Openmoko user nearby so I will go
with the SOP and the blueprints to a local electronics store to have it
fixed. I guess they won't charge me much.

Re: Is a FreeRunner sufficient for me?

2009-06-17 Thread David Murrell
Hi Brolin, 

Fundamentally, at this point, my Openmoko Freerunner fails the Not
Interested in Technology - Significant Other Acceptance Procedure,
otherwise known NIT-SOAP. 

If you want a phone that is going to Just Work, get a Nokia. 

If you want a Linux smart phone to hack about on, an Openmoko Freerunner
fits the bill quite nicely, except for the animation speed on the
screen, which is markedly slow. 

I should probably be specific here - the phone is almost certainly going
to need flashing when you get it, and that's going to require a command
line. 
You're probably going to want to change something to get something
working, and that's going to require running ssh to connect to the phone
on the command line, and changing something, somewhere. 

The flip side of this is that you can change what ever you like in
hardware or software with the phone (with exceptions for a couple of
firmware blobs in the GSM modem and wifi chipset), and some people find
this quite liberating. 

Hope this helps,

Cheers,
David

 I've been really happy with mine in the UK, US and here in Australia and
 nobody has complained about any buzzing (yet).  I think I'd only consider this
 if it was causing me problems..

Fair enough point. I thought I did not have the problem either, and
certainly nobody reported it to me while I was using QTe. Then a
couple of months ago I switched to SHR-Testing and struggle from both
a volume level problem (too quiet) and a number of people have
reported buzzing at their enf while I hear them perfectly and buzz
free.

I am assuming that the distro change is simply a circumstantial data
point and that the problem has always been there but nobody has
mentioned it until now.

Re: App for remotely controlling jukebox software

2009-06-17 Thread Denis Johnson
I have a SqueezeBox Duet
http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/products/squeezebox-duet.html and
run SqueezeCenter (OSS) on my NAS but I notice that Duet hand
controller which uses WiFi for remote control, runs linux and a LUA
based UI for remote control http://softsqueeze.sourceforge.net/.  As
far as I know the OSS controler software is designed to run on other
hardware, even on your desktop if you like,, so while I apologise that
this does not specifically cover your question for Freerunner, there
may be something to borrow/salvage or learn from that solution.

cheers Denis
