SHR Logo contest starting now

2009-07-29 Thread Sebastian Spaeth
- [SORRY FOR CROSSPOSTING] --

SHR desperately needs a logo. We have none so far. Mmmh, mmmh, mmmh...

BINGO. A Logo contest:
Creative people of the world, SHR lovers, join together and submit
proposals.

We will have a community poll, deciding on the logo to be used (core
devs reserve the right to veto though :-)) Preliminary deadline of the
contest is end of September 2009.

There will be no montetary prices, but you'll get praise and your
design will be seen on millions, ehh, thousands, ehh, well maybe on
dozens of phones every day...

If you are not graphically disabled, please consider to create and
submit an entry. If you are, tell your graphic designer friend to create
and submit an entry. If you don't have artsy friends, you can still pay
an advertisement agency to create a logo for us, can't you?

Please submit your entries on our shiny logo contest page over at:
http://wiki.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/LogoContest

Hehe, do you want to imply that the FR will gain more horsepower over
time? Highly unlikely :). Optimizing navit and reducing other apps RAM
usage will of course help, but I doubt that the distros will make the
hardware much faster ;P

Re: [SHR] Vibrate only on alarm

 ATM, the alarm app rings a nice old alarm clock ring. Is there any way
 of getting it to honour the profile, and when needed only vibrate?
Not without changing the source code significantly. elementary-alarm is
a test app in the enlightenment source repository that doesn't know
anything about profiles (and probably shouldn't need to rely on them either.

gtk+-fastscaling deserves to die a long slow death, and packages that
depend on it are broken. gtk+-fastscaling is just gtk+ these days, and
you should be able to override it with -force-depends or something like this

 Hi Ingi,
 
 Do you have the code for your GUI posted anywhere, is it GPL ?

Hi Angus
If you need code to to that, check out my little vala-settings (to be
renamed in the near future to shr-config or something like this). It's
an elementary GUI written in vala, so no python overhead, and it can be
used to turn on/off GSM/wifi/BT. GPS is on my list.
Personally, I use it to pop up a profile selection screen when pressing AUX.

The license is GPL2+ and the code is here:
http://github.com/spaetz/vala-settings/tree/master

(as I said, due to popular request, I will rename it soon, so that
location might change a bit). a .bb recipe for it is in the shr overlay.

Re: Entering the PIN for a SIM card

 good lord, what usabilty genius created that?
 to begin with, everybody aroudnyou can read your pin and then, you stay  
 there and tap the screen in the faint hope it might work somehow?

 and, just out of curiosity, what do you do when you need to correct a  
 typo? the screenshot shows not delete or backspace or so.

Not that I'd defend that keyboard, but backspace is by stroking from
right to left over the keyboard and enter is by stroking from top to bottom.

Showing the entered stuff, is what you normally want on a keyboard, that
it shows it for password entries is, err..., debatable..., but probably
no explicit design decision :)

 I think that now FSO is not being funded, I'll switch to SHR, as
 previously suggested.

I don't want to disappoint you, but SHR is FSO plus some UI and
application goodness. So it still depends heavily on FSO going forward.

Re: Device somehow powered down - would not power up again

 thank you for pointing this out. I'll try to check that next time. It
 means that I can't boot and work on the FR w/o battery, though, because
 I need the device to be connected to a computer in order to do
 maintenance. Maybe this will be reworked sometime, because it's highly
 counterproductive (imho)?

I am not a hardware guy! but...
USB only delivers 100mA until a higher rate is negotiated. But for this
to happen you need to have the kernel and the usb drivers loaded
already, so it is kind of difficult. And the FR uses more than 100mA
when booting.

BrokenMoko (burnt)

2009-02-23 Thread Sebastian Spaeth
My FR's battery didn't recharge although I had it plugged in all night.
When I removed the cover I saw why, teh SIM card was partially molten
and the moko burnt below the SIM card. (see image:
http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/8655/mokoburned.jpg)

It's an GTA02 bought Dec 28th 2008, and had never done any hardware
tinkering with it, so I'll return it to the dealer. Just wanted to let
you know that while I think that the device is hot, it should not become
hot...
