 anyone know if it would have been safe to do that?

When the calypso is off (and it's always off unless GSM resource is
requested), it's perfectly ok to swap SIM cards. And no, SD card is
under the SIM, so it shouldn't be a problem. Just do not forget to
connect to usb or wallcharger because you'll need to take out the
battery.

 I would like to transfer my old SMSes from my previous Windows Mobile

 instructions on a user page on the wiki about how to do this. But I
 cannot find this page any more.

 Please, let me know how to do this if you know.


Generalized instructions, will possibly work with most phones:

1) export the data

- direct way: use the phone built in tools to export / transfer the messages
out to a file or somesuch
  SMS Exporter[1] or Mobile Express[2] can probably be used (never had a
windows phone, never used any tool)

- indirect way: connect the phone to a computer (PC) and use the phone tools
on the PC to export the messages to a file or...

2) import the data on the Openmoko phone
- find and use an existing tool that will import messages
- or write your own

[Wikireader] damn compiling errors (french pedia)

2009-11-22 Thread thomas . hocedez
Hi dudes,

First point, 
I'm compiling the french wikipedia, I managed to parse the 2 400 000 articles, 
but the rendering fails on a damn broken pipe error. I changed some stuff in 
the MAkefile like I-can't-remember-how told, but unsuccessfully. 

I wonder if it's not a character encoding problem... 

Second point,

I compiled the french-translated wiki-app, but in the qt-simulator the changes 
mades to GFX (keyboard) and translation(search.c) are not visible ! (tried make 
all / make install ...) I don't know where those data come from... If anyone 
has an idea... or can tell me I'm in the twilight zone...

Thanks for your help, I'm not totally at ease with copiling for now.

Re: [Shr-User] SHR-unstable got a facelift. And you a christmas present....

2009-11-22 Thread Cristian Gómez
Hi Thomas, first of all: Thank You so much for the effort of giving us a new
version of SHR (from far the best OS for the OM that I've tested) and this
is a very good notice, I'm about to flash into mi FR but I have this
cuestion about the resources to download:

2009/11/19 Thomas Zimmermann m...@vdm-design.de
... a

 So what has changed, and what to expect:
* eglibc rather than glibc. Just like Debian did, we switched our
 libc library from glibc to eglibc which (apparently) is a bit better
 suited  to embedded devices.

From this I get that eglibc is the default on SHR (as stated here). When I
browse into the download images on the page [1] I see these files that makes
me wonder what do I have to download:


full-om-gta02.jffs2http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/full-om-gta02.jffs220-Nov-2009

The first one is an alias for the second one? if it isn't like that, which
one is the right one?

Thanks

 Try www.dealextreme.com

 They have free shipping (although order and shipping takes 3 weeks
 total) and their prices are phenomenally low.


 Thanks for the recommendation!  DealExtreme is amazing, even if they are
not in Canada.  I ordered 4 of these:

http://dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.26783

(2 for me, 2 for my colleague)  I have 2 questions, though:

1. Can the FreeRunner charge while in USB Host mode?
2. If yes, how can I simultaneously connect a USB hub + power supply/source
to the FreeRunner?

there's a cable that has been made/bought by a few fr owners, which
will allow this. it's detailed on the om wiki:

Community Conference Room

2009-11-22 Thread Esben Stien
Well, as I now have a lot more bandwidth, I'd like to again inform you
of the Free the Phone Conference Room[0].

The conference room should also support video, but I haven't played much
with this. Still waiting for JACK VIDEO to save the day..

The URL is: 

sip:free_the_ph...@esben-stien.name

Dial in at any time and talk, get help, learn, develop, etc.

Some free software projects have started to use a conference room and I
think our community should be on the forefront of this. Some projects
use an IRC bot to advertise presence in the conference room. Maybe we
also could do that. Some projects also organize a BoF at saturday
nights.

Last time I advertised this, several people asked about SIP clients with
native JACK support. This has not yet happened and I really know them
all, in and out.

You can however use any pulseaudio aware client, which again can exit
through JACK. 

I use sflphone at the moment, which works great with pulseaudio and
JACK. I've also recently tested ekiga-GIT and it also works pretty well
with pulseaudio/JACK, if you need video. If you aim for ekiga, only the
most recent GIT version supports pulseaudio/JACK.

Sflphone has a core/UI separation, which is really great, but no non
interactive interface has been made yet. 

I've also not setup VoIP on my freerunner, but now is the time and
people should chime in and tell about what they've got working.
