Re: Qt-moko-debian-v35.tar.gtz
Hi Poul I can assure you that QtMoko v35 works from a Micro SD Card, because that is what I am currently using :-) Which Bootloader are you using? With the Qi Bootloader that I use, there is no need to select boot from Micro SD Card on startup, this happens automatically... See this page: http://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/qtmoko/index.php?title=Installation Regards, Nashvin On Thu, Jan 5, 2012 at 6:10 PM, Poul Kristensen wrote: > Hi list > > I do not know if this is the right list to ask. > > Anyway: > > Qt-moko-v35(of course unpacked) does not seem to work, when booting > from my microsd card.

Fw: [Lugor-discuss] Remember the Neo Freerunner smart-phone? Updated hardware is now available!
Hi all, I'm trying to do my part in helping to promote the GTA04 iteration of the Neo FreeRunner/1973. I don't do marketing very well so it's not a ringing endorsement of either platform. I love my Neo though and would like to see the GTA04 become a reality. Getting the word out as honestly as I can and hope to be able to purchase a GTA04 when I can afford to. Brian Begin forwarded message: Date: Thu, 5 Jan 2012 15:58:14 -0500 From: Brian To: LUGOR discussion list Subject: [Lugor-discuss] Remember the Neo Freerunner smart-phone? Updated hardware is now available! Hi All, Just wanted to spread the word that updated hardware is now available for the Neo Freerunner[1]. For those of you that aren't familiar with the phone[2] it came out at the same time as the first iPhone in the form of it's precursor, the Neo1973, by an upstart company called OpenMoko[3]. Their goal was to introduce a new type of phone/portable computer that was open in as many ways as was possible at the time. It wasn't popular for a number of reasons, chief among them reliability (mostly software related), cost, and a warning that it was not yet a consumer device. There were other issues like poor battery performance, echo/distortion on calls, which have been solved, for the most part, by both software and kernel improvements. Fast forward to 2012 and a dizzying array smart-phones have now become ubiquitous devices. None of which offer the same freedoms as the Neo Freerunner does. There have been a few offerings from Nokia which were promising but the salad days appear to be over now that the Elopaclypse (offensive perhaps?) is in effect. Yes, there are a lot of choices but they either consist of 'walled gardens' like Apple offers, or a myriad of Android devices which may or may not be rootable (read modified to run what you desire), or other proprietary offerings from RIM and of course the upstart WP7. All of which are beholden to the whims and fancies of their prospective Intellectual Property owners. I'm not really keen on delving into the whole IP thing. Suffice it to say that if we don't fight for our rights as consumers in this regard it will likely mean the death of open phones especially in the US. Every time I read the latest news in patent fights it only justifies my perspective on the issues. I am fortunate enough to have a Neo Freerunner (thanks Justin!) and despite it's shortcomings I find it reliable enough to use as my primary cellphone. Granted it's not perfect and the hardware is a bit dated compared to recent offerings but it does offer the one thing nothing else does: The ability to run a real linux distro on it with full control over the hardware out of the box! The latest Iteration, which is a replacement MoBo which fits inside of a Neo 1973/Freerunner case, uses some of the existing hardware and is a big step in the right direction. It's faster, has improved memory, and is being actively developed by an active community that won't give up on the ideal of having a phone that is truly free of the constraints currently imposed by all other manufacturers. The cost of said freedoms are steep but should eventually go down. I'd like to see the latest iteration in free phones not flounder so please have a look at the links provided and pass it on if you think the idea of free phones deserves more attention.

Another week of "Openmoko Community Survey 2011" is over and another 100 people participated in round 2 – great! The last participant participated just 2 hours ago, so I'll just leave to poll open for some more time.

Well, one of the topics will certainly be a "DIY GTA04 case contest", but that does not need a special flyer for visitors to take home. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Hi list I do not know if this is the right list to ask. Anyway: Qt-moko-v35(of course unpacked) does not seem to work, when booting from my microsd card. I only grabs a white screen and then stops. SHR works fine when booting from microsd. Android(1.5 or 1.6 can't remember) works fine booting from boot. My procedure: Put in the microsd card and 1. choose boot from microsd 2. then reboot. Thanks Poul BTW: Which software do I use to get some longer battery time. Now being approximately 2 hours. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Good news: we have been assigned a stand. If you have (new) Openmoko related stuff to show, please let me know to discuss details. We will have several GTA04 devices in (let's cross fingers: full) operation and the OpenPandora. Please spread the word and plan to visit the stand.
