Need for application like PC Suite from Nokia?
Hi List I am currently developing a PIM synchronization app for the Neo (https://projects.openmoko.org/projects/mokosync/ http://www.opkg.org/package_134.html ) After a mail from c_c (http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-f528198 ) I got the idea to extend it to an application like the PC Suite app from Nokia. So you can send SMS from your PC, edit the various settings for the different applications (TangoGPS, Navit, ...), install applications and transfer files between PC and Neo. What do you think? Is such an application needed? Regards Andreas ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Need for application like PC Suite from Nokia?
Your idea is interesting. But as I am a lazy user, I want all my settings within one GUI. Additional I want to use the application under Windows. I have to use Windows and Office at my work and there I have the most time the neo connected with my PC. And the application is more targeting the not so experienced NEO/Linux users. Perhaps a little step forward to mass market compatible?.

How about simply providing an easy way to ssh -X forward the application from the phone, you could even read all the .desktop files on the device - this would mean that you wouldn't have to add a settings UI for each app to your program you could simply use the built-in one. solar.george ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Need for application like PC Suite from Nokia?
At the moment MokoSync is a client/server application. It is written in C# and runs with Mono on the Neo. Currently it uses the .NET RPC library to communicate with each other. As far as I know, SyncML has not only definitions for syncing data. It also contains definitions for device management. Perhaps this is useful for such a management application. Have to look at the standard once more. On Sun, 2009-02-22 at 11:49 +0100, Alexander Mueller wrote: I think it would be so helpful to have something like it. But I would rather not compare it to the Nokia suite but to Palm Desktop. Well being a palm user for ages this might be the reason. What kind of sync protocol to you intend to implement. SyncML seems to make the most sense to me. And that way you can use existing implementations and you are not limited to support only a single device (...bla bla bla, whatever can be said in favor of an open protocol...)

I also think I read somewhere on the mailing lists that sending sms's from the command line is possible.

Re: Re: Syncing OpenMoko with Sunbird/Lightning events and tasks
As far as I know Funambol wanted to develop an Client for their service for the Neo. Except the press release I did not read anything about it. But Funambol uses SyncML and that is on my task list. Aside from the addin interface for different PIMs my SyncClient has also an addin interface for communication with different servers like SyncML servers. After the release I want to make a poll, which PIM or Sync Protocoll I should implement next.

After OM2008.12 flashing no booting of kernel
Hi I flashed my Neo GTA02 (v6 I think; DateCode: 20080821) with the kernel, rootfs and uboot from the 2008.12 download folder. After the reboot it hangs at the splash image and when I boot from NAND or NOR I see shortly the message wrong image format for bootm command and the I am back in the boot menu. I search for this message and get this post http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-October/032774.html I tried the devirginator way but it does not work.

Hi Joel Thanks for your help. I have used the wrong file.

Try redownloading and reflashing the kernel. Make sure you select the uImage.bin kernel file, not the u-boot.bin bootloader file. (I've done that before, as have others who've posted to the list - if you've done that it will pop up the splash screen then fail to load the kernel, and return to boot menu) Oh, and that datecode should indeed be V6 - should have an SMD capacitor connecting two pins of the uSD socket and cat /proc/cpuinfo should have Revision : 0360. j On Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:43:03 +0100, Andreas Willich andreas_will...@gmx.at wrote: Hi I flashed my Neo GTA02 (v6 I think; DateCode: 20080821) with the kernel, rootfs and uboot from the 2008.12 download folder.

[OM2008.9]Speed dial
Hi I would like to if there is a command line tool for OM2008.9/Qtopia to dial a number. On my old phone I have constantly used its speed dial feature and I missed it on my FreeRunner. My idea was to simply create a new .desktop file to start the app with the number to dial. Does someone know if something is already available?
