ok, I'll have a look. I'll make some notes and send it to the list if I find something. Lionel On 2 April 2014 06:15, Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller wrote: > > Am 02.04.2014 um 03:17 schrieb L.

sensors on GTA04
Hi, I'd like to play with the compass but the info from the documentation page does not correspond with what I got on my phone (using qtmoko v58). The page I use is that one: http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-kernel/page/Sensors/ In the 'compass' section there is a switch to enable/disable sampling. On my phone there is a directory /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-2/2-001e/ but there is no 'rate' file in there. Same applies for the gyroscope. Has anything been changed?

Community interest (was: community Digest, Vol 353, Issue 3)
Hi all, I am one of those who bought a GTA04 out of both curiosity and a feeling of contributing to a project that, I feel, is important in many aspects. I have read many emails from the community but as you guys say, I have not done much more than contributing financially. the reason being that I do not have the technical skills required to help on the software or hardware sides. > Third our community watched them failing without even trying to raise > awareness for our community phone. I would really like the phone to survive, I insist on that because it must be quite depressing for the developers to miss the positive feeback they deserve. however, when I discuss with colleagues or friends it is very hard for me to argue that an open source phone is a good thing that is worth spending money in if there is no well-known source to back me up. my feeling is that the community is not visible enough for lay persons, so it is hard to advertise the product. My suggestion to try and get out of this problem is to rise interest among the journalists. Global surveillance is a top story at the moment, so if we succeed in attracting the attention of, say, a BBC reporter then we can start making some noise on a large scale. And if the story is good it may attract many people and inform them why open-source phone is important, on the hardware side too. Another point that I would like to rise is the fact that mobile phones are considered as luxuary products by the consumers. Starting from this, I would suggest either to work on making a very nice finish for the casing (the plastic casing of the GTA02 looks very good) and for the software (animated backgrounds, or the likes...), or to start a trend on its own that would focus on highly personalised phones with make-your-own reprap casing and choose-your-own operating system (which is what the GTA04 seems to be, at least for me). I would personally go for the second option. With a couple of good reprappers and with a couple of working operating systems, you can make a nice web page to present all the options availables to the buyer so that each one can buy a specific combination of case, hardware and software. Making the website visually attractive and more interactive would probably contribute to getting more attention on that matter. Anyway, all I can give to the community for now are ideas and cheerings, I hope I am doing that well.

Re: [Community] OpenPhoenux Logo contest - Phase 2 (voting)
I like number 3 but the legs should be removed. Number 6 looks good too, but maybe a bit bulky.
