 Then in Ubuntu I did a apt-cache search fso and installed everything
 that looked relevant there.  Only one of them updated.  And with ps
 aux it seems that everything is running as it should be, so the
 problem seems beyond me at this point.

Please make sure, fso-gta02 and fso-frameworkd-gta02, phoenuid and e17 are
installed.
Theydepend on all needed packages and install them.


If the PIN-Dialog doesn't show up, insert something like

dbus-send --system --dest=org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
org.freesmartphone.Usage.RequestResource string:GSM

into ~/.xsession


Basically, there is no additional configuration needed.

 /usr/share/phoneuid/phoneui-wrapper.sh 

If everything is correct, this isn't needed.

 You can swap out xfce with enlightenment and it still works which is
 great.  Although I couldn't close Contacts after opening it because
 there was no close button, that might also be a SHR specific trait.

If you are using illume1 tap on top-panel and then on X to close or load
module illume-softkey.


On illume2 you can install shr-e-gadgets (It's not in Debian yet)
git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-fso/shr-e-gadgets.git

and then

echo shr_elm_softkey.desktop  ~/.e/e/applications/startup/.order

If you tap on top-panel, you should be able to switch and close windows.

Re: debian + phoneui-apps

2012-03-27 Thread Timo Jyrinki
2012/3/26 Timo Jyrinki timo.jyri...@gmail.com:
 However, after that I get an Enlightenment complaint about not being
 able to create a new window for each of the same apps that complained
 about the D-Bus interface earlier.

phoneui-apps apparently is missing some dependency, filed bug #665951.
After installing the e17 meta package, the apps start.

Furthermore, phone calls work! I removed the phoneui-wrapper.sh from
.xsession again, and switched from matchbox-window-manager to
enlightenment_start. Starting phoneui-dialer from command line works
and phone calls can be made and received.

Sound works from FreeRunner to the other phone, but I don't seem to
get audio from FreeRunner with the default settings (nor the speaker
switch works).

Enlightenment seems to also have kept to its tiny font size (on
Debian, hard-coded away in SHR distribution and elsewhr), which should
be probably fixed in either Debian's E17 packages or in configuration
otherwise. The phoneui apps (or any apps) also aren't visible in the
home screen.

Anyway, it's nice to see the new generation FSO2 in action on Debian.

Please check, if the symlink /etc/freesmartphone/conf/GTA02/alsa-default
points to the correct kernel version.

Re: [Gta04-owner] Perfect on screen keyboard?

2012-03-27 Thread Neil Jerram

 Any other ideas for nice and usable keyboards?

I'm wondering about dasher, controlled by slight tilt movements, which
would be detected by the accelerometer and/or gyroscope.

Dasher already runs on the GTA04 with finger/stylus control, but there
are two problems with that: it needs two hands, and for right handed
people the finger/stylus hides a significant section of the letters
appearing from the right.  With tilt movements input could be done with
one hand, and the oncoming letters would not be obscured.

It needs prototyping to see if it would be really comfortable, so I may
try to work on that.  AFAICT from some very quick searching, it's been
done on a tablet [1] but not on a smartphone yet.

[1] http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/saw27/dasher/toshtilt/

I think the steps needed for GTA04 are:

- finished drivers for the accelerometer and/or gyroscope

- a program to take and process driver output and feed inputs into
  dasher's UDP socket input (like 'ToshTilt' mentioned at [1], but for
  GTA04)

- input method integration so that dasher appears automatically when
  a text field gets focussed (which can be done by using or modifying
  the matchbox-keyboard-im code)

- dasher UI modifications to hide things that aren't needed (the menu
  and toolbar) and add finger-friendly controls for what is needed
  (e.g. completing input and returning to the underlying app)

- optionally, UI tweaks to make it fit better in the look of the
  containing distribution.

Regards,
Neil
