Om2009 testing release 4
Hi All, As I think we've fixed more things than we broke it's time for another testing release. As usual there are additional instructions here. http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2009 There is also a new page for community involvement. Many of these wishlist items need someone to implement them. If you are interested in in owning one of the wishlist items come and join #paroli or send me an email http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2009_get_active Don't bother trying to do an opkg update opkg upgrade to do the upgrade. Chances are you won't get the dependencies right ( I know I didn't ). If you want to preserve your settings use the bind-home method and flash the full image.

headset cable
Sorry if it's been covered, but neither I nor google remember... Is there an adaptor for freerunner to normal 3.5mm stereo jack? Perhaps splitting out the mic to another jack? Is this a market niche for an unemployed friend? I am in the US Thanks Seth ___ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support

Call quality - Paroli, SHR, QT Extended
After reading the announcement about Paroli, I decided to give 2009 a try. Difficulty I had with paroli * Call to other people were filled will static and echo. Cycling through volume did not help. This is a deal breaker for me. - Couldn't get illume to make Paroli windowed to access other apps. Perhaps I'm missing something - Didn't get to test reliability because of call quality. QT Extended - Call Quality is not there (echo) - Most reliable of the distro's SHR - Call quality is acceptable - reliability is finicky at best Are my findings normal? -- Paul Email - pault...@gmail.com There were moments when he looked on evil simply as a mode through which he could realize his conception of the beautiful.
