Re: Freerunner LightSaber
Upload it on opkg.org 2009/1/17 kris Occhipinti metalx2...@gmail.com Well, a few months ago, before I have a FreeRunner I saw a LightSaber application for the iPhone, I thought was neat. So, I made My own for the FreeRunner Yesterday. Here is the link http://filmsbykris.com/freerunner-debian/ko-user/ko-lightsaber.tar.gz How to install: Just un-tar it to your root directory and it should place everything where it needs to be and give you an icon on your desktop. What it does: Start the App and the phone sounds like a LightSaber Extending and then Humming (You know, Like StarWars) Swing the Phone Around and it sounds like you're having a LightSaber Fight. Features so Far: Sound, Vibration, and The Power Button LED flashes Blue on Swings. Todo list: Work on the GUI (Currently just a big exit button) add buttons to extend and retract Saber ( so you don't have to exit the program to stop the sounds ) And some sort of graphic or image of a Light Saber. Add More sounds Have buttons so you can choose the color of you lightsaber. Bugs: Sometimes while exiting, if you are still swinging the phone around, the LED and/or the vibrator will stay on. If this occurs, start the app up again and then close it with out swinging the phone around. I believe I can fix this with ease. I just wanted to get what I have done out before I continued working on new things. I got the sound fx off a free sound fx website. Don't know who made them. I hope it is ok that I used them. ___ 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

Warren Qtopia is one of the two things I didn't try, SHR being the other. I gave up on the rest because of the unresponsive interfaces, poor battery life, terrible remote echo (tried everything I could find), refusal to wake up in a timely fashion on incoming calls etc. I was also discouraged by the prominence of we should work on stuff for GTA03 comments on the lists. I now have a cheap sony-ericsson for the sake of my sanity, so I'll wait until android or other distro can provide a bit more than basic phone functions, or at least do it better than what I have. Android looks like it could be the quickest route to solving most of the issues and the echo was gone straight away. i know I ought to get off my a*se and help, but after the dayjob I don't have much appetite for coding and debugging right now. I'm uploading a new image right now that includes Ruis virtual keyboard. Please give it 30 minutes or so to complete the upload.

First we have learnt to not trust high-level promises as much as before. In fact I would go as far as saying that going forward, we will not trust any promises about 'we will open this up later' anymore. Either it's open and documented at the time we make the decision to use those chips, or we look elsewhere. I believe that's what our customers want. Agreed, and awesome. We have a long way to go to come out with kick-ass open phone hardware, but if our community doesn't loose faith and continues to do development together with us, we'll get there. The momentum we have built with the Freerunner is awesome. Please continue to buy Freerunners and to develop for it, same is happening internally. The next phones will build on top of the free platform we have built together, the technology investment will carry over. *crosses fingers and hopes* Having said that, if someone wants to seriously develop for the glamo, please get in touch with me and we will find a legally correct way to extend the smedia documentation to you. In fact we have done that in a few cases before already, but I'm not sure how much actual codes have come out of that. I think very little ;-) So we need some really serious coders that don't mind a tough challenge. I am not a skilled developer, but I would be more than happy to organize, and participate in a traditional clean room re-implementation of the documentation. As a GTA02 owner, as a founding member of the Open Graphics Project, as a Director of the Open Hardware Foundation, I believe I have the resources to accomplish such a task. I'd love to try. Can we make it happen? --tim ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community Up for this request Wolfgang :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Back to the basics: improving user experience
Why Qtopia? I prefer that you release the next minor update ( aka 2008.10 ) and focus all works on paroli and tichy. The new framework is pretty usable and stable. 2008/10/16 John Lee [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 05:15:59PM +0800, W.Kenworthy wrote: 2008.9 + updates A phone that works: reliably make and receive calls reliably make and receive sms's At the moment, totally losing sms messages (phone sometimes hangs/crashes when one comes in) or not waking up if suspended when one comes in means that its almost unusable as a phone. It often takes several boots before the pin dialog comes up. If you forget while waiting and it does come up but its awhile until you get to it, it will hang so you have to reboot anyway. Sometimes restarting X helps, but not always Stability: My average in normal usage is at least two boots a day due to crashes, and often extra rebooting to check if an sms comes in (sometimes they will only show on fresh re-registration. Leaving the phone on and registered for hours doesnt seem to help - not sure how vodafone australia takes to retry messages but surely its less that 12 hours. The only way to stop crashes is not to use the thing! No GPS, no wireless, no phone calls, and definitely never send/receive an sms :) I suspect the event/0 thread is at the root of a lot of this so I am waiting a fix for that. I dont think I am alone in this - hopefully the new focus means that these issues can be dealt with. I am a little concerned though that you think things like boot time is important enough to mention, but not basic issues like being able to reliably make a phone call. Though a faster boot means less time wasted going through multiple bootups to get the thing registered. :) I would like to explain a bit more about this: We're not the only team that will work on the new focus. Stability should be greatly improved by the effort of FSO, and boot time is just another thing we would also like to improve. At the same time, we will work on fixing qtopia bugs as well, so if the problems you have is in trac already, we will look into them. - John ___ 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
