Its fun using all sorts of things as a precision stylus for terminal
keyboard. Zipper of my jacket, plastic coffee stir thingy, etc. I'm even
thinking of mounting something on my gloves to use the device in winter
outside.

Next thing you know, geeks are going to manicure salons to get the nail
of their index finger 'styl(us)ed' (Body hack!)

I love the precision and freedom of touch objects, so for me no
capacitive touch screen please.

I have to agree here. Styli are more a hindrance than a help. I find  
I'm always leaving my stylus or retracted pen somewhere and looking  
for another.
A stylus wouldn't be such a problem if there was a place in the

You call that a stylus? Scroll a little further down the page for
some _real_ stylus examples. :)

That thing is HUGE and uneeded. If you need something just as big, then
you're ok with using the finger (unless you sweat a lot).

What do you mean? You can get a stylus that works with capacitive touch 
screens:

http://songtak.manufacturer.globalsources.com/si/6008826112271/pdtl/PDA-styli/1006246576/Touch-Pen.htm

Just about all phone manufacturers are going to capacitive screens as 
they virtually eliminate accidental touches in something like a purse or 
pocket. Calibration used to be an issue, but resistive screens are made 
with pretty good tolerances now and don't often need recalibration once 
manufacturing goes into mass production.

How a keyboard works with the iPhone is it expands a key on touch, lets 
you slide your finger if you missed the right one, then types in when 
you release.

As I said, I'm guessing, but when I removed the extra PNG images and
leav just one, enlightenment average CPU drops and the display is more
responsive. The glass button effect /is/ applied to every icon,
it's just that the parts ('parts' in edc syntax) relevant to the effect
are flagged as non-visible by default.  I'm assuming that even when a
element in the GUI is flagged visible=0 that it still calculates its
position onscreen, so that if you have 20 icons in Illume then you're
trying to scroll at least 100 transparent png images. ('icon' image,
background, shine, highlight, shadow - there are actually 9 png images
specified, plus the icon image itself) Pasted at the end is the entire
group "e/fileman/desktop/icon/fixed" from default.edc. You can see that
each icon actually contains eight png images, and twelve programs,
including six that specify animated transitions.

it also doesn't help that Enlightenment is advanced enough to perform
some very nice scaling tricks - like specifying that 6 pixels inward
from each edge should not be stretched away from that edge, so for
example you can have a 13x13 PNG that functions as a 6-pixel border,
with the central pixel being scaled as large as needed, while the edges
are only stretched in one dimension, along the edge.  Wonderful feature
to have, but I suspect that the calculations involved in this scaling
and other nice effects E offers are at least a slight detriment to the
(integer) FR user experience...

If you watch an icon closely when you press your stylus against it, you
can usually perceive the fade-in taking place, particularly if your FR
is straining, in which case you can sometimes see a few distinct delayed
steps.  The linear transition is set to occur in 0.2 seconds fading in,
and 0.1 seconds fading out - so it is quite brief.  I believe it
abides by the "Framerate" setting in Illume config (the spanner), such
that a 30fps setting and a 0.2 second fade equal a 6-frame animation.
You can see it in the first two program sections below, "go_active" and
"go_passive". The thumb_gen series with the decelerated and sinusoidal
transitions aren't used on the Illume desktop it seems, but if you for
example open the wallpaper settings in Illume config you can observer
thumbnails that 'zoom' out from zero size when displayed, to become
clickable 'icons'.

There's no conversion happening inside the wolfson chip.

Not all headsets can take mp3 directly. But this will work for those
that do.

Yes it's pretty interesting to read, especially as it pushes the "dodgy

BITBAKE_VERSION = branches/bitbake-1.8

FSO_STABLE_MILESTONE = milestone5

Do u mean "wget http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/Makefile"; to get the
makefile and run "make fso-gta02-milestone5-image" again?

Openmoko media player and direct mp3 to bluetooth headphones

2009-02-25 Thread Daniel Benoy
Apparently bluez supports sending mp3 data directly to bluetooth stereo 
headphones, rather than using CPU taxing SBC compression encoding.  This is 
especially good on the openmoko.  In my experience, it can handle even high 
fidelity audio, but as soon as you start using the GUI or some other CPU 
intensive activity, it will start to skip hevily.

With much effort I've managed to convince gstreamer to send mp3 data directly 
to a2dpsink, and the performance has improved remarkably!  And the CPU is no 
longer getting hammered.  I can see why this encoding option is so ubiquitous 
among other cell phone music players.

My problem now, is that I'm using the gst-launch gstreamer debugging command 
line tool to play my audio.  This isn't good because it doesn't support basic 
things like pausing or seeking, and even if it did, the AVRCP signals from my 
headphone pause and play buttons wouldn't be registered unless it's listening 
to X for input events.

Thinking back, I remember that there used to be an openmoko media player that 
used gstreamer, and it looked pretty nice and it was done up with GTK in the 
old om2007 style.  Is that media player still around?  Would it be possible to 
make it into its own project so that I can install it under debian without 
major hassles?  (And also I'd like to upgrade it to support direct mp3 a2dp.)

Or, do y'all have any alternative suggestions for me?

(FYI: The way to test direct mp3 is like this: gst-launch filesrc 
location= ! mp3parse ! a2dpsink device=XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX  ... 
You may also want to pass --gst-debug a2dpsink:5,avdtpsink:5 to it.  I had to 
manually patch a problem where it was reporting 'joint-stereo' instead of just 
'joint' from mp3parse... but I don't know, it may work under other 
distributions than Debian)

it sounds to me that it would totally and utterly illegal ... I can't
even begin to imagine how criminals would abuse such a thing.
And I'm not even sure that you can do it by changing firmware, there's
always a man in the middle (the GSM provider) that normally sends your
phonenumber to the other party (except if you indicate you don't want

No. The GSM modem in the FreeRunner is bound by the (pretty much)
standard-conform firmware that does not allow that.

No idea, sorry. I have never seen 2008.12. It's definitely not a problem
in the base system, since FSO ms5.1 resolves in 1 second (admittedly,
with Qi, with U-Boot it might be 2 seconds).

I don't think that they simply disable the backlight. Resuming from SHR 
unstable takes about 5-6 seconds (no incoming call), while 2008.12 resumes 
under 3 seconds. While this is not a scientific measurement, 2008.12 surely 
is a lot faster. Any other ideas what they do differently?

It should be easier to copy from 2008.12 shouldn't it?

limit. Additionally it maybe could automatically detect this limit
based on the environment but that is more tricky to get right.

Re: Monologue - very simple dictation assistant

2009-02-25 Thread kimaidou
Hi all

I would like to react :D
I created voicenote because there WAS no application running on the moko to
record wav file. Since I did not want to make it weight, and because it was
at the beginning only for recording wav files, I did not choose python + a
gui.
+ I would like to learn a bit of bash scripting :D

This was and is still Ok if you just want to have a very fast "do your job"
application = voicenote

Just after the release, and today, 2 identical projects poped up. Identical
? Not sure : one wants to record only when speaking (for being able to
record without the need to touch the screen, I think for OSM mapping), the
second wants a nice GUI (or the other way )

The great openmoko community reacts very fast, and gave me ideas to
implement :
* add GPS location + time for easy OSM editing
* be able to play the files / delete them, etc.
* modulate the level to reach good audio quality
* record only when speaking
* etc...

My thought :
* I lve the dynamism of the community
* I really think bash script is limited if we want to easily implement gps
access / volume control / record when speaking /etc.
* I cannot spend much time on it

So I think I will now let voicenote in version 0.3 (except for bugs
corrections and small improvements) and let people with time and knowledge
to implement a great app with a nice gui and better function.
I think Timo and Mathias should work together. I tested mathias's soft, and
the ui is great.

Of course I will help them with idea, trac tickets and more !

Kimaidou

PS :
* One question to Timo : have you tested your soft in noisy environment ? Is
it able to differenciate a voice from another sound ?
* I agree with what has been said : each function (voice recognition or gps
data) must be options the user can desactivate.

This could be avoided. Today, voicenote needs a good GUI. If we want to
integrate voicenote ad monologue without rewriting anything, we have
just one possibility: to use a GUI.
I was thinking to an interface written simply in PyGtk which handles
both the softwares, showing to user 2 options:

1) normal georeferred recording: possible with voicenote; GPS chip is ON
2) recording only on speak: we could start monologue through GUI; GPS
chip is OFF
3) georeferred recording on speak: we start monologue; python talks with
GPSD, catch coordinates, and insert them in recorded file's metadata.
GPS chip is ON

So, if we can't merge the code, we could create one GUI to use
all the recording software, givin to user the possibility to choose the
option according to battery state (if the battery is low, user could
turn off GPS and use option 2).

I think to have such PyGtk skills, but I'm busy for university until
April :(

I understand your thoughts. I understood voicenote was a shell

Hi Timo,
first of all, thanks for your software.

I've an observation: I'm also very interested in OpenMoko software for
mapping on OpenStreetMap: your idea is really great.
Voicenote developer is working (I suppose) on a GPS-correlation support
for his software, to use georeferred notes on OSM mapping sessions.
Mattias Felsche is working to turn the Neo into a dictaphone, with a
python script.

In future, we'll probably have
- - a software which records audio only on speaking
- - a software which records geo-referred audio files
- - a software which act as a dictaphone

Now, I respect everyone's work, I respect the *great* idea of Free
Software as freedom to develop, but could all these ideas be merged into
one? It'll be great to have a single application for OpenStreetMap
mappers which does *all* this things, possibly configurable.

My 2 cents :)

Sounds like we're talking at cross purposes then. I would expect the PIM stuff 
to be handled by opensync which already has plugins for many (most?) of the 
available data sources. It has a plugin for syncing generic files too, but it 
is rather limited, which is where Unison comes in.

[SHR/FSO] - GPS - no fix, ogpsd.pickle question

2009-02-25 Thread Leonti Bielski
Hi!
I'm running latest SHR unstable distribution and there is no way I can
get gps fix.

1. System time and timezone are set correctly.
2. ogps.pickle removed.
3. Phone restarted.
Still no fix.

I even tried to reflash phone to om 2008.08 distro - "Locations"
application can get my GPS position.
When I'm back to SHR - no fix.

I'm checking for fix with Zhone to 'cut the middle-man' and be sure
it's gps, not fso-gpsd or any other problem.
So shortly after I launch Zhone and press 'gps' button I see in terminal:

Requested debug packet NAV-SVINFO
gps fix status changed: 1 #it can't be real fix, because it happens in
a few seconds

gps got ubxdebug packet
gps got ubxdebug packet # to infinity and beyond

Please notice, that this test was made in the same exact location with
an external antenna at approximately same time with om 2008.8 distro
and SHR unstable with (2.6.28 kernel).
I know a lot of people have problems with GPS in SHR Unstable, so it
would be beneficial for all of us to find the problem.

Can someone point me to low-level stuff I should check to get to the
bottom of this?

Re: Voicenote - 3rd version - Can play wav files

2009-02-25 Thread The Digital Pioneer
Good app, definitely useful at times. :) I have SHR-testing (does anyone
still use that?) and it works, but for some reason it creates 2 icons on the
'desktop'. Any way to fix that? Also, I would love to see an option to
delete voicenotes. :) Keep up the good work!

Voicenote - 3rd version - Can play wav files

2009-02-25 Thread kimaidou
Hi list,

I post here, again, to announce the release of the third version of
Voicenote.
Now
* you can play the wav files you have recorded with voicenote (or other wav
files)
* you go back the the 1st choice dialog (record or play?) after each action.
To quit the script, click on the Cancel button.

The page to read for more detail :

i perfectly understand, thank you. so the ophonekitd works as a semafor
holder and executor... wouldn't it make sense to have such a daemon
common for shr and fso? As soon as om starts releasing their distro
based on fso all our scripting will be useless and shr related only...
which is pitty imho ([shr]-settings could then be used anywhere on fso

Pythm used to work very well, with an earlier version of SHR unstable. 
It could play music reliably through gstreamer.
These days the newest pythm is difficult to install into a SHR unstable 
image, and various bugs often results in only the first song working and 
then pythm has to be restarted for the next.

Using the mplayer backend may work better, but then the song switching 
takes very long time instead - as you have seen.

My workaround:
Use the terminal. Use the "cd" command to select a folder full of 
interesting songs. Then issue this command:
mplayer *

It will play all songs (mp3, ogg,...) in filesystem order, and switch 
from one song to the next in a timely manner.
It is even possible to control mplayer via the keyboard:
0  increase volume
9  decrease volume
m  mute
p  pause
q  quit
 >  next song
<  previous song

Using renice (from another terminal) may be necessary - you can avoid 
sound skipping by setting mplayers priority to something like -15.

this sets the resource policy and is not what you should do.
org.freesmartphone.Usage.RequestResource is what you should use. And
because that requires to keep the program running that requested a
resource there is

> org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage /org/shr/ophonekitd/Usage
> org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage.RequestResource Display
which requests the resource until you release it. That way you can wrap
for example tangogps between a call to request display and a call to
release display...

I don't know what would happen, but i think that any app can request a
resource before another... especially in the case of display or cpu,
or? (run navigation and then music player)

mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage
org.freesmartphone.Usage.SetResourcePolicy Display enabled

org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage /org/shr/ophonekitd/Usage
org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage.RequestResource Display

For example the above gives no problems to get the resource.

but by simply running the bellow twice i get the ophonekitd to crash:

mdbus -s org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage /org/shr/ophonekitd/Usage
org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage.RequestResource Display

It guess it might matter for the network - if a call comes in.
If you told the network about powering off, they will notify the caller 
immediately that your phone is not available.

If you powered off abruptly and the network haven't timed your phone out 
yet, then the tower will try its best to reach you while the caller 
waits. Some callers may guess (incorrectly) that you are ignoring their 
call.

[SHR]wicd

2009-02-25 Thread Vinzenz Hersche
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hello there,

first: my expiriences with shr are just good, i like it very much! :D
great developement!

but there is a problem, which is cool, if it's fixed.. in the
beginning, i install mofi; after i search for a wirelessnetwork and
tried to connect, dropbear doesn't work anymore, so i couldn't connect
until a restart.

now i tried wicd to connect. wicd is much more stable (i think, i
didn't test so much) and i could connect to other networks with
success. but if i do that, i also couldn't connect over usb with dropbear.

in the wicd-manager, i said, wireless-device is eth0..

because wicd had a daemon (/etc/init.d/wicd), i couldn't also connect
after a restart with dropbear.

console-output of the host:

r...@skamster-laptop:/home/skamster/Dokumente/openmoko# ifconfig usb0
192.168.0.200
r...@skamster-laptop:/home/skamster/Dokumente/openmoko# ssh
r...@192.168.0.202
ssh: connect to host 192.168.0.202 port 22: No route to host

i don't know, where i found some logs to see the exactly problem and i
also don't know, if this is "your" problem, but if you could fix this
problem, i'm very happy..

i wrote it to the list, because maybe it isn't a real bug, just a
failure of me or it needs just a small setting-change?

greets

Remove the file /etc/freesmartphone/persist/ogpsd.pickle
then, restart frameword or just reboot. (Restarting frameworkd sometimes 
cause trouble with the phone side instead).

ogpsd.pickle is where gps information is saved in order to speed up the 
next activation of the gps unit. It goes bad sometimes, particularly 
after starting a newly flashed SHR unstable. If this file goes bad 
enough, you wont get a fix - ever!

Deleting the file forces the gps to "cold start", which may take an 
extra minute or two. But it works reliably. When you stop using the gps 
unit, a new ogpsd.pickle file is created - this time with good data.

I'm not sure if I understand that. Only one icon looks like a glass 
button - sure. Now, I understand that illume may have precomputed the 
glass button look for every icon there is, spending some memory. But why 
should that need any cpu when scrolling? The glass button effect isn't 
applied to the other icons, so those glass images should just sit in 
memory somewhere untouched?

I see no fade effect. When I click an icon, it gets the "glass" effect. 
It appear with a slight delay, but there is no visible "fade in". One 
minute there is just the icon, the next moment it is "glassed".
So if much work goes into this - then it is all wasted.

I am looking forward to see all this.  :-) It should definitely improve

Forgot to tell:

"submit data" is only for the visible data the check returns the last time.

its a bit complicated right now i know. when i get the time i make it
eaysier.

i always wait for a gps fix with checking check cellid manually and then

Do you have the ReMoko-Server package installed ?
ReMoko need a lot of improvement, but if the BlueZ version doesn't

the BlueZ version used in OpenMoko distros are very different is some

Re: Introducing CellHunter (Update 0.4.1)

2009-02-25 Thread Sebastian Hammerl
Hi,

the followin logic lies behind the buttons:

check cellid: gets the cell and gps data
submit data: when in online mode, the displayed data will be submitted,
when in offline mode the data will be saved
auto check cellid: "push" check cellid every x seconds
auto submit data: upload directly after checking. like auto push submit
button after auto pushing check button
offline mode toggles where the data gets. on disk or directly to the server.

so if you want collect offline every 10 seconds you have to push:
offline mode, auto submit, auto check

then it begins to save the data every 10 seconds on the disk i think
that is what you want. in offline mode the serverstatus will display 
"offline" when in online mode it will be something like:
"new;430;57;357;4563;16504" that is your currents stats.

new is the type of the last submitted main cell (not the neighbour cells)
430 is your count of new_gps cells
57 is new cells
357 is old_newgps cells
4563 is old_oldgps cells
16504 are your points

i hope this helps you.

I have some problems using this app.

When I move around through the cells, I don't have an internet 
connection. So I keep auto-submit off, and I assume I can press "submit 
data" once I get a net connection?

This brings up the next problem. When "Check cellID every XX seconds" is 
on, the "submit data" button is grayed out. Why? For me, it looks like 
it is "just to make the program more difficult to use". I can turn data 
collection off and submit an empty dataset, or I can collect data 
without being able to submit it?

After much experimentation, I found that turning "check cell ID" off,
the "submit data" button becomes active again. But does it actually do 
what I think it do? Will it submit all the data I have collected in the 
meantime?

Some visual feedback would be nice. The display already show the cell I 
am in, the neighbours, and current position. It'd be nice to have 
something like this also:

---
Collected data

  Cells | Neighbours | gps fixes
   Not yet submitted:   520  47
submitted to server:   1 4   1
---

In this case, I have started the program while connected to the net, and 
immediately submitted the cell at home. Then I have moved through 5 
other cells that I have not yet submitted. If I then get a net 
connection and hit "submit", I'd expect the display to change into:
---
Collected data

  Cells | Neighbours | gps fixes
   Not yet submitted:   0 0  0
submitted to server:   624  48
---
The new data has now been sent and added to the
running total. And there is no new information yet.

If possible, it'd also be nice to see how much of the data is new. I.e. 
when talking to the server, get feedback about which cells weren't known 
already:
---
Collected data

  Cells | Neighbours | gps fixes
   Not yet submitted:   0 0  0
submitted to server:   624  48
new to the server: 2 7
---
So, 6 cells submitted but only two were new.

Works for me on shr-unstable - however the interactions between illume,
the shr settings app and external dbus calls seems to make suspend and
dim actions ambiguous at times.  Just got to hit on the right
combination ...

[SHR] Unstable Questions

2009-02-25 Thread Fragggy
Hallo,
I'm realy happy with my SHR Unstable just a few things I don't unterstand.

1.) If I plug in the Headphones everything works fine, the speaker mutes and 
the Headphones work well. But if I remove the headphones the speaker is still 
muted. No ringtone no audio playback. If I plug in the headphones again, I 
can hear the sound again. I think it has something todo with the alsa state 
switching done by framworkd. Has anyone of you the same problems? Or am I 
doing something wrong?

2.) Is there a lightwight media player out there? I listen to mp3 music in the 
train. Mplayer works fine, but takes very long to switch songs or change the 
volume.

3.) The alarm application has no sound. The alarm shows up on the display, but 
no sound is played. 

4.) I have installed a german dictionary and a german keyboardlayout. Both 
work fine, until I try to insert a "Umlaut" (äöü) the Keyboard freezes. 

Thanks for your help

I tried this, and I put the mdbus calls in the background. (tangogps was
not in the background, of course.)

This did not work. Tangogps appeared, but the display turned off
anyway.

I have already turned off power management in illume, so it shouldn't
be doubly managed.

At first, I guessed that when such a request is put in the background,
the 'Display' resource might get claimed by the short-lived background 
process. And then released as this process quits.

So I removed the & signs, and tried again. And again the backlight was 
turned off. So no lasting map display. Of course, even a script without 
"&" will use short-lived processes, it will merely wait on them before 
executing the next line.

Then I tried running the commands by hand, and got this:
$ mdbus -s org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage /org/shr/ophonekitd/Usage 
org.shr.ophonekitd.Usage.ReleaseResource 'Display'

Service name not found


Is there a typo in the example, or does shr unstable move things around
a bit?

Re: Lack of structured information

2009-02-25 Thread Lothar Behrens
About all the discussion about documentation and searching them, what  
about using a

knowledge management system ?

If I do a search for 'api sleep' in the Openmoko wiki, I get 9 search  
results, If I search for

'api wakeup' I get 5 results.

If I search for 'acpi' I get 3 results.

All these seem not to bring up what I search for. Why ?

I probably have searched with the wrong words. For me this may simply  
lack of knowledge
if sysfs has any relation to the information about power management  
(especially where the

device is currently powered from).

But it may be related.

With a knowledge system you would propably get a list of related  
keywords + short descriptions

what is handled there.

Then I do not need to read all the found articles to spot those who  
are really related to my search.


So how about using a knowledge management system to link information  
semantically ?


There is no need to put all the documentation in it, but each visitor  
who might found a relation not
in the knowledge base system could add one linking in the article to  
the related content even it is

same experience here (have had shr-settings with dim/suspend
controls from git since saturday). I cannot see any patterns on when
the PowerSettings disappear... i guess we just have to watch the logs
and spitted messages closely :)

Yes of course,
- date and timezone ok
- persist file removed
- fso-gpsd restarted
- no concurrent gpsd running
- telnet localhost 2947 ok but without real data when press on r (but 
lots of commas !)

And no fix in tangogps even after long time.

PS : but you're right to mention trivial things, to avoid the 
"omfg-cable-was-unplugged-since-beginning" syndrom ;)

[SHR-unstable] "settings -> power -> auto-dimming" or "who's responsible for blanking?"

2009-02-25 Thread Thomas Franck
Hi..

I did an update/upgrade last night ~20:00CET and among other things the
shr-settings got updated.. you guys keep adding things - thank you. :)

I've been playing with it a bit and at first I noticed that the "Power
Settings" (the module for "Auto-Dimming" and "Auto-Suspend") does not
re-show once I moved a switch.. had to restart to make it show again
(not sure if xserver restart would have been sufficient - didn't try)
today it is displayed every time I try.. weird.. :P

However, except for auto-suspend:off the settings I make do not have any
effect.. I have auto-dimming:off and it still goes blank after 30secs..
whatever timeouts I set.. it still blanks after 30secs.. (does not
suspend, though.. :))

Now.. if I use the illume wrench to set the "display -> power -> Blank
Time" to off then the shr-settings "auto-dimming" works. Though, even
with "auto-suspend:off", it will suspend if "auto-dimming:on" and the
timout is set to >0.

Sooo.. my experiences in short: if you want to use the shr-settings,
make sure to disable the illume power settings.

Ooops.. just now while fiddling.. the "Power Settings" moduledisappeared
again.. restarting the xserver sorted it (like usual ;))

Hope someone finds it useful.
Cheers,

via GUI not yet... you can do it with a dbus call:
