Re: QtMoko v45
Hi There is a problem with this image When you try to apt-get update and install any package with apt, You get the following error: Setting up linux-image-2.6.34-qtmoko-gta02 (45-1) ... WARNING: Couldn't open directory /lib/modules/2.6.34-qtmoko: No such file or directory FATAL: Could not open /lib/modules/2.6.34-qtmoko/modules.dep.temp for writing: No such file or directory dpkg: error processing linux-image-2.6.34-qtmoko-gta02 (--configure): subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 It seems kernel package is not completely installed... Thanks for your valuable work! On Miércoles, 13 de junio de 2012 00:40:27 Radek Polak escribió: Hi, QtMoko v45 is out now. You can get images for GTA02 (Freerunner) here[1] and GTA04 (Phoenux) here[2]. For more info about QtMoko please visit our homepage [3]. This is list of changes since previous v44 version: * fixed wifi password not saving problem * new big transparent keyboard * GTA04 has new 3.4 kernel thanks to Neil Brown * GTA04 has now vibra motor support * show atmospheric pressure on home screen on GTA04 (Neil Jerram) * removed all other input methods from build * display wifi icon in title bar * run ping on default DNS when wifi icon is clicked * gps icon in title bar with number of satellites and fix indicator * gps has now api for number of satellites * gps plugin for GTA04 now makes gps always enabled * GTA04 charge indicator is polling battery every 30s * GTA02 gps - checking for ntpserver available with ping (Jiri Pinkava) * qterminal can now run scripts using setDocument() api method * scripts for powering on/off modem on GTA04A04 * charging udev rules for GTA04 (Neil Brown) * options to boot from all mmc partitions in shutdown ui * build fixes and various code improvements (Yann Dirson) * added new freecell game Probably most noticeable is new keyboard. It has two layouts - one suitable for terminal and one for SMS. They look like this: http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/screenshots/abc.png http://qtmoko.sourceforge.net/screenshots/qwerty.png Layouts are completely customizable. You can easily change key size, position, background. It's very easy to add international characters and new layouts. Just have a look at /opt/qtmoko/etc/im/svgkbd/ The layouts are normal svg images. You can use inkscape to open and edit them. It should be very clear what to do. Only thing to explain is how you should name the key XML elements. In Inkscape go to Edit-XML editor and click on key. The element name must be in form: key_QtKeycode_unicode For possible QtKeycode values check this link[4] and for unicode values use your favourite unicode character map. Please not that my layouts are just very simple. If you manage to create better ones i will be glad to replace them. I can also make your national keyboards variants easily installable from qtmoko apps page. As for the other changes - you can now make clickable elements in themes that launch scripts in qterminal. So e.g. you can have icon on homescreen with your favourite script. For example how to do it check what happens when you click the new wifi icon in finxi theme (search for setDocument string here [5]). Another nice thing is atmospheric pressure indicator on GTA04 homescreen or number of gps sattelites/fix indicator on title bar. One more is freecell game - you can now waste a lot of time here :) GTA04 owners can now enjoy latest 3.4 kernel thanks to Neil Brown's amazing kernel work. I have been running this kernel for several days and all works perfectly. No regressions were spotted. Many thanks for this Neil. Thanks also everyone for their support and work. Enjoy the release!

Re: QtMoko v45
hi radek and qtdevelopers! thank you very much for this great release. I am at the moment trying to add a German version. Now I have some questions regarding the keyboard: a) is there any specific reason why the svg (qwerty) file is of the format: height: 330px and width: 300? b) is every pixel then just scaled to have 640x480? c) If I open the svg in inkscape no layers are shown, but if I click on a dark- grey rectangle. It says at the inkscape bottombar #key_XY_YZ Rectangle on layer #key_XY_YZ. So what is the best way for me to edit the svg to add another language layout (directly the xml file?) d) some of the letters are not centered on the grey rectangle, eg the ´l´ is shifted somewhat to the left. I have almost finished correcting this. Should I send/upload these versions anywhere. e) Is there any possibility to have the ¸show/hide keyboard` button in the top bar being moved to the bottom bar, so we can reduce the topbar size even further - For android on freerunner it is only 24px which is just about as low as you can go if you still want to read something, but would be too small to press any button Another question would be if it is generally possible to start in landscape mode? The landscape qwerty works quite well already using the thumbs. And last: Bluetooth is turned on as a standard. Can I edit a start-up script some where to have it turned off? best regards and many thanks again robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: ideas for a personal cluster with gta04
hi, I had seen that they also provide an online api, though as far as I understand for each cell that your phone sees it you can get the gps data of the cell. So now you have eg the coordinates and signal strengths from 4 cells how do you calculate where you are. Is there a function for the have fast the signal de- creases in regards to your distance to the cell? are all cells signaling with the same signal strenght / amount of energy? The android/iphone gsm lokating mechanism works very accurate, but I have no idea how they do it. best regards robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I think i don't understand the question. You should be able to open the svg in inkscape and do all the work there (moving keys, changing the text or changing the unicode values). d) some of the letters are not centered on the grey rectangle, eg the ´l´ is shifted somewhat to the left.

Yes please. e) Is there any possibility to have the ¸show/hide keyboard` button in the top bar being moved to the bottom bar, so we can reduce the topbar size even further - For android on freerunner it is only 24px which is just about as low as you can go if you still want to read something, but would be too small to press any button It should be possible. E.g. the predictive keyboard uses bottom bar. I wanted to implement it but i also didnt want to hold the release more. So i will try to do it for v46. Another question would be if it is generally possible to start in landscape mode? The landscape qwerty works quite well already using the thumbs. I can implement key for screen rotation or maybe if the layout filename contains landscape it could rotate the screen. And last: Bluetooth is turned on as a standard. Can I edit a start-up script some where to have it turned off? I think there is script in /opt/qtmoko/bin called bt-poweroff.sh which turns bluetooth off. Maybe adding it to /etc/rc.local or qpe.sh could do it. Regards Radek ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

New PowerVR SGX reverse engineering project
FSF has set up a new PowerVR SGX reverse engineering project proposed by Luke K.C. Leighton. Since we have such a GPU in our GTA04 SoC (DM3730), I think there may be some interest here on this list to support this effort. The goal is to write free and open replacement drivers and firmware and maybe do fancy stuff with the GPU shader cores (signal and image processing). The mailing list is here: https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/powervr-devel and the project home page is here: https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/powervr/ A wiki is being set up by someone soon... There isn't much more information since the project was just set up. IMHO a good starting point with a general architectural description of the PowerVR SGX system can be found in the DM3730 TRM [1]. Someone has found out a little [2] about the USSE instruction set, which appears to include e.g. Multiply+Add, Fraction, Square Root, Log, Min/Max, And, Or, Xor. I think this makes it quite useful for signal processing. But that appears to be all what is known currently. I encourage to contribute to this project since it will make the GTA04 and OpenPhoenux even more useful for the FLOSS communities.

Re: QtMoko v45
hi joif, if I remember correctly you wrote the mokofaen theme which I like a lot. would it be possible to add a recent calls button to the dialer layout? also the dialer layout does not scale if put in landscape which doesnt matter too much as the buttons are big enough but it would just look prettier... best regards robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

I'm planning to update it during the next month, following also the changes in the v45, I have just to finish the university exams for this session ;) I'll take in mind the suggestions, thanks!

Re: QtMoko v45
I remember that this issue existed already with an update prior to v45. with the manual installation procedure do you mean: dpkg -i ./*.deb ? or is there a different command which has to be used? regards robin ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
