Try different values until your card will start working. Tried these and also showing results: 1500 - partition skipped (led + vib) 500 - red led forever 16373000 - red led forever Strange. Are you booting from usd or NAND? if from nand how can it hang? Trying to boot from SD here. Experiments with running system have been when booting from NAND though (otherwise I could not boot at all). Would be interesting to see kernel logs. indeed, it would be interesting what is happening here at all, seems Qi tries to read partition and kernel, but I get no output :( ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi Christoph We're still super active developing WikiReader. You can view our latest commits here: http://github.com/wikireader Over the past few months we've been working on many new language variants. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, all have working virtual keypads now. We also have a download tool under development for Windows and OS X for people who want to use an easy interface to update their WikiReader. This will be pushed to github with a formal release later this month. Overall we're quite happy with our progress on the technical side as well as the sales side. But we definitely would love to see more community involvement. I'm going to reply in detail to Patrick's email shortly. I just got back in the office. It's been a busy last few weeks for us.

Re: Wikireader development - Ideas and improvements
Hi Patrick On Sat, Oct 2, 2010 at 10:01 PM, Patrick Beck pb...@yourse.de wrote: i own a Wikireader since a month now and i am happy with the base functionality, but i have a few ideas and improvements and i am looking for other users they owns a wikireader (and develeops for it). Openmoko has not stopped the development of the Wikireader, but i think it can be useful to have a nice community around the project. Till now i have only found the following ressources: http://thewikireader.com/ http://dev.thewikireader.com/ http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader and see not a list or any other communication - i think the community list is not so wrong :) Yes currently these are the only places... if something is missing let me know. And I see what we can do. ==Improvements:== - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutschland - There is a small block on the right with information (population, language, capital, etc.) I think that a very useful imformation - how can we add them to the Wikireader? Most of these are templates and within these templates there's HTML tables. Currently we remove all tables since we haven't found an elegant solution to displaying tables on our screen (it's only 240 pixels wide). You can look at: http://github.com/wikireader/wikireader/blob/master/host-tools/offline-renderer/ArticleRenderer.py And see where we parse out tables. If you have some ideas how to handle this better, we'd love to hear. - Table of Contents would be helpful to get a overview about the content of the whole article On our todo list... but it's still a while away. We're really just trying to get the base language support really solid. - searching in a article could be very usefull Agreed! - The scrolling it a bit poor, because you can't read anything on the screen when you scroll - on the community list was a small patch discussed: http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-December/058462.html That patch works no more, but from the descriptions i find it very useful. A new version from maleadt was published in September: http://github.com/maleadt/wikireader/downloads It's unstable and not as inuitive as the first path but it is a start for a nice usability on the wikireader. ==Problems:== - A other problem is that tables and other special layouts are not interpreted from the parser. See for example: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kfz-Kennzeichen_in_Deutschland On the Wikireader you get only a list from 0-9 and A-Z without any license plates. Yes. (see above explanation) So how can we fix the problems and get new features in? I am only a python programmer but i hope i can help. This Thread should be a starting point to discuss new features and collect bugs - i think that should help Openmoko, too. Just about everything is done in Python that has to do with parsing. So you should be fine. If you are interested in developing, get our codes from github, let us know when you have something good, and we'd love to pull it back into future releases. Feel free to email us if you have any questions! Sean ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Tried with the settings in the app itself, then softlinking the default directory to the SD card.
