Re: QtMoko v31
Thanks to every one behind this! Happy new year too! Sylvain 2010/12/30 Radek Polak pson...@seznam.cz Hi, new stable qtmoko release v31 is now out. You can download images for SD card and NAND flash from sourceforge [1] and sources from github [2]. QtMoko is distribution for Freerunner based on debian rootfs and qtopia phone stack and GUI. For more info please see [3] and [4]. Changes since previous version: - fixed invisible call button in finximod theme (Joif) - translated to French (Gregoire Juge) - updated Danish translation (Ole Carlsen) - better layout in docked keyboard - commented completion strip in docked keyboard - VT not switch to graphics which fixes X hang in VT_WAITACTIVE (Gennady+Me) - fix QX crash after pause/resume - using openssh-server instead of dropbear again This is first stable release based on kernel 2.6.34. I think nearly all regressions to andy-tracking 2.6.29 are fixed so i will tag last commit with 2.6.29 support and will merge 2.6.34 support in master. Docked keyboard (the one suitable for terminal) is now much better. It has same layout as in SHR, which means you will have cursor keys on main screen. The completion strip was IMO quite useless and wasted only space so it's now disabled. As for the VT fix (or hack ;-) it's now possible to use any X server with QX. So you can install full xserver and use it instead of Xglamo which is default. So happy new year!

Re: Good evening to everyone
Thank you ! Please see my comments inside...

I was trying to connect USB flash drive, BT dongle and USBtoRS232 converter (With PL2??something chip) - all these were working on v26. not sure, make sure you set usb to host most in dev tools, if that's not it maybe go to log level 8 and get some more detailed info about what's wrong? You can do this in the kernel parameters in /boot/append or in QI just press the power button after the second flash of the aux button Hrabosh: I pressed the power button (a have v31 on the NAND memory, thus not able to use /boot/append because Qi is not reading UBI FS .. right?) and saw kernel messages scrolling down the screen- simmilar to what I can see when my Linux computer is booting. USB device (ethernet mode) works fine. If i switch the phone to USB host mode (by running the script in dev tools), message in kernel log appears: [131.66] s3c2410: changing USB to host [131.90] hub 1-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 2 - last line is repeated cca 10 times. Ethernet mode is then not working (unless I run USB device mode from dev tools), but FR is charging the battery if plugged to the computer/charger. Devices, connected to FR's USB port, are not working and seem not to be powered at all. 3/ Where am I to copy MP3 files to make MediaPlayer see them? I copied them to /media/card/Documents/audio/mpeg and /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg but still didn't see in MP. QMplayer was able to find them on first scan, but only if there were no further directories in /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg. Is there a way how to tell these programs where are my MP3s stored? Go to software packages and download the mp3 codec, then execute the file that shows up in applications. Suddenly media player will read mp3s in ~/Documents (qtmokos ~/ which is /home/root not the debian /root) Hrabosh: It works! Thanks! But media player seems not to be able to play music fluently when phone is in use (reading SMS, using Arora... ) - QMplayer is playing fluently no matter what you do with the phone. 4/ Does anyone know how to set FreeRunner to play music over bluetooth audio stream? AFAIR it is called A2DP. Radio in my car is able to play such stream so I'd like to use it. You can add debian unstabled repos and see if there is anything there, I would be very surprised if not... Hrabosh: There was such option in some player I had in SHR distribution. You could choose whether to play using spekares or BT headset. I'll try to google something more ... 5/ I'm going to replace 2.5 audio socket in FR by 3.5 socket - so I could connect my headphones directly to FR. Did anyone try so? Please document if you do this! I've lost the second earphones I got for this (kindly given to me by my friend Brolin) and it's a real pain to find 2.5mm headphones here. Hrabosh: OK, I'll let you know. 7/ Can I use MP3 files as ringtones? Yes, see my re to 3 8/ Can I install ipk packages to QtMoko? Not the ones built for SHR qtmokos got every debian package so something should do what you're looking for. 9/ People I call with are complaining about bad sound quality.

Android on FreeRunner is pretty new, as is Replicant on FreeRunner. QtMoko is fairly stable and responsive. It improves every release. I've been using v26 for a while and was planning to install v31 later today. One thing of note: qtmoko leaves contacts on the SIM which can be slow (there is some local storage for numbers you have added on the phone itself). If you don't find QtMoko to your liking you can try out SHR or Hackable::1, etc. There's some choice here - an amount that's very odd for a phone. :) I've been using my FreeRunner daily for about a year. The one that drives me nuts is Bluetooth Disconnecting on Suspend, but the easiest workaround for me is to leave the phone on the charger in the car (where I actually need Bluetooth.) signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: which os for the freerunner
Hi, Tom, Here QtMoko is instant. The feeling of touchscreen is much better with .34's driver without filtering, i never have that 'missing' clicks than i have to reclick which were real pain (for me) on early openmoko. I don't know if Radek supply Qi with 2-4-2, but i am using 2-4-2 bootloader, and in fact scrolling is smooth (except inital loading pictures, but it's acceptable even in that moment) and response to clicks is just ok.

Re: Good evening to everyone
1/ USB Host is not working in v30, v31 (in v26 is). Dmesg says unable to enumerate device. I was trying to connect USB flash drive, BT dongle and USBtoRS232 converter (With PL2??something chip) - all these were working on v26. The FreeRunner's USB port can be switched from device to host separately on the data and power pins, so my guess is that you set its data pins to host mode but left the power in device mode, which means that the FR will not provide power via USB but will expect to pull power from it instead (this is typically used together with a tweaked USB hub powered from a power brick).
