Is there any aftermarket for these things? I'm getting a bit terrified since there has been no interest in my GTA02 for sale, and AFAICT the things are sold out. I can't afford to have a very expensive paperweight sitting around that I don't have time to fiddle around with. -ken ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I've got mine set up with the 2007.2 image, I haven't re-flashed it once personally, just "opkg upgraded" myself along, and I got it set up with at least the functions I need - phone, GPS, and compiling. ;) That said, I would *love* to know of the tricky/nice/interesting things that people are managing to do with their Freerunners .. while I've got a game (swar) and some tutorial/test code (bling) on the development workbench for the Freerunner right now, I sure would like to know what else I can do with this cool little device for fun? ; -- Jay Vaughan ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Now that you have your phone, what are you doing?
sorry for a silly follow-up but >reading a lot about it, LOL ;-) it summarizes well activities of the hundreds I bet... may be it is because 1. there is a universe of unconnected contributions (ie "I packaged smth which is not in the official repository", or "I've fixed this via ") ie. there is no transparent and generic plan/HOWTO on how contributions are submitted/adopted to be used by the masses with a simple 'opkg upgrade'. There is no distributed allocation of duties/privileges in respect to packages (like in Debian and without any flavor of which community project is not a community project any longer -- even khe Ubuntu has their MOTUs ;) ), thus any update in official repository takes too long (look at tangogps for which upstream has up-to-date version but OM's repository lacks it). or where is minimo which was already packaged and there is wiki instructions on the web? I already have my own set of scripts to bring 2007.2 to a usable state for me... just not sure where to place it to make public (not just a blog/wiki page about it since that is of limited affect) 2. "is it in wiki? yes! in the page buga_biga_boom which you could reach after going through buga1, buga2 and buga3 or searching for buga1 buga2 buga_whatever_irrelevant)". sure -- wiki is improving since people mentioned amount of redundancy in its content, but wiki shouldn't be a collection of addendums of the ad-hoc scripts to complement official distribution, it should serve as a nice documentation. sorry for a bit of sarcasm ;-) but it seems OM is missing some basic community organization at the moment (I guess they are too busy with reinventing the wheel via a child of their own - illume and an autohiding keyboard so you don't type whenever YOU want, and that is their mistake imho) :-P P.S. it is not to start a heavy finger-pointing discussion, it is just me after having some beer ;-) On Fri, 25 Jul 2008, andres wrote: >On Fri, 2008-07-25 at 17:30 +0300, Breakable wrote: > Hi there, > Just wondering those of you who have the device already, what are > you doing with your new device? >reading a lot about it, -- Yaroslav Halchenko Research Assistant, Psychology Department, Rutgers-Newark Student Ph.D. @ CS Dept.

Mainly I am testing GPS functions. I am currently not using the FreeRunner as my main phone, mainly becase my main phone is a work phone with business mail on it. I might use the FR as my peronal phone in the future. Other than that I am installing, testing and using as much as I can on the FR. Currently I am testing the ASU image / stack. I have just recently learned how to use the ASU (Qtopia?) keyboard, and find it working quite well. Now all I need is national characters (I'm Norwegian so that means æøåÆØÅ) and a way to set up a national dictionary / word list for the predictive keyboard (press-and-hold works, but is very slow) and I'll be really happy with this keyboard. I have not got Exposure to work yet, still working on that. This is just a couple of examples of what I do with my FR. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Thats what enables suspend on the openmoko image. seems to be working fine on my phone.

Now that you have your phone, what are you doing?
Hi there, Just wondering those of you who have the device already, what are you doing with your new device? I just got my GTA02 three days ago. I am trying to get it work like a normal phone for now. I tried using OpenMoko os for a while and was impressed with the ammount of packages in the repository. Unfortunatly I was not able to get GPS show up onthe TangoGPS, even when the command line seems to be working. I struggled to improve calling volume, but not very successfull. The power management was not good enough, even after the opkg upgrade. Seems not to go into suspend, because the battery gets depleted. Currently I flashed with the Qtopia instead. Now the software is a little more reliable, much nicer UI, but no repository ! :( And the suspend seems to hang after a really long time, only thing helps is removing the battery. I hope those issues will be resolved sometime soon, now that we have an increasing developer base that have the new hardware. So what are you doing?
