SHR annoyances (+ a few workarounds)
Hi, I'm using SHR-Unstable as my daily phone, it works but there are some things that bug me, mostly I can live with or work around them. It occurs to me other people might have better work arounds so I thought I'd post my current list and see what happens: Wifi = It seems reliable with the WPA2 networks I use it with but I can't seem to turn it off in SHR-settings and once I've connected to a network I can't reconnect to any network without rebooting. (I know there's work going on in the kernel relating to this). Workaround: After I've finished using wifi, I always reboot the phone so that next time I want to connect, it works Midori === Aside from the superuser-warning banner (which will be gone in the next release), the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F11 for full screen) aren't available in Literki. There's a config file for accelerator keys (~/.config/midori/accels) but it seems to get overwritten every time it loads Workaround: Live without those keys (Hmm... I ought to try write protecting the file) Dictator The version in the repositories seems to just record crackling if I try and record my voice - this used to work. Watching videos === I'd like to watch videos on my FR. I've encoded it using the command listed in the video playback section of: http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Customize But with mplayer-video the sound and pictures become out of sync. I've not tested it with intone-video from opkg.org as there's a clash with the updated versions of the elementary libraries Ringtones = I've altered my default ringtones to 8bit mono so they are quicker to load and to stop. Vagalume in the repo/image == It crashes Workaround: Use the one from opkg.org Hum in landscape When the phone is in landscape mode (really useful when typing with Literki) there's a quiet but persistent hum. Notifier It pops up to tell me I have an unread message but the messages app has already popped up to tell me that. (There was a request for comments on the shr-devel mailing list but I wasn't comfortable commenting there as I'm not currently developing anything). Navit == In the repos it takes a lot of configuring to: * show an icon in Illume * Stop its dependencies blocking sound on resume * finding the libraries it needs * configuring the UI * making the speech happen far enough in advance for car use Workaround: I've foolishly lost my highly tweaked config, when I've finished reworking it, I'll post it somewhere Scummvm === The keyboard doesn't show up so you can't type a filename to save your game unless I'm missing something. (You need to turn off sound in Scummvm or it crashes before you can start to play). I guess you need a bluetooth keyboard Messaging/Contacts app Sometimes I can't seem to enter text into the textarea that has focus if I've recently changed focus. It sometimes stops me typing a number into a new contact Workaround: I add a contact by typing a number into the dialer and then saving it. I think that's all the ones I can think off for now.

LWN would like some screenshots of a recent SHR (testing or unstable) that they could publish with the article. Unfortunately my FR is still in transit (buzz fixed by Dr. N et al) so could someone send some recent screenshots to: openm...@coralbark.net I'd especially like the dialler and the main illume launcher screen but I'd appreciate any that you thought were interesting and suitable for publication.

Re: Debuzzing
Hi, Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller wrote: [blank screen when ordering a debuzzing] Not generally. Several people have reported a blank screen that is only shown on the first attempt. But we can't debug that easily, because it appears only for real payments and not in debug mode. I'll e-mail you off-list.

Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller wrote: expenses. The rework itself is essentially for free and Openmoko provides an additional free battery to make good your efforts and the time you don't have the Freerunner to use. I've tried to order this but when I try and pay via a credit card, I get a blank screen. I see that it warns about pop-up blockers on the page but I've even tried using IE6 (under Wine) and I still get the blank screen. Is the payment processing broken at the moment?

Finger friendly keyboards
Hi, So far on my FR, I've mostly been typing non-dictionary words so the predictive keyboard has been getting in my way. I knew a few people had created finger friendly keyboards so I had a bit of a play. Firstly I tried EasyTouch_SHR: http://www.opkg.org/package_174.html But like many of the commenters on that page, it didn't work for me, first it altered my theme but also (as I didn't remove my other keyboards I suspect), all the keys on the keyboards overlapped each other. Then I tried Michal Brzozowski's keyboard: http://markmail.org/message/ufdue7qhlfjwabkn but I didn't like the design decision to design it around flexing the case. I started to create my own (which I may still do) but found if I just used the keyboard files from the EasyTouch_SHR it worked basically as I wanted. I just put the keyboard files (.kbd) from and the package into /usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards (and moved the Default and Numbers keyboards to a backup directory). It's work very nicely on a recent SHR-Testing - maybe the keyboard files could be hosted separately or even better a minimal package could be made that just automated that. Has anyone else tried this? Jon. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
