Its interface aims to be easy and finger friendly. It's written in Python/Elementary and uses SQLite for storing data. Notes can be organized using custom categories that you can add, rename and delete at any time. Currently, only text note type is available. Future plans: * Search * Draw notes * Record voice notes It should run on any system with a revision of python-elementary equal or greater to 40756. I think that SHR-unstable is the only candidate.

Basically because the White Screen of Death was then fixed for my model :) Now seriously, although with less features, Om2009t5 is about as faithful as 2008.12 was. At least for me... Rui I changed from 2008.12 to SHR some week ago as well. But I can understand people who still use OM 2008. One reason is the PIM support is much better until now. However, I would also advice to switch to another distro because IMHO all the other things except for PIM (and some other small things) work better there. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Since the latest troubles with fsousaged in FSO I am having problems
with gsm and gprs. When I reboot I can enter my pin and everything
works fine. After it, I start gprs through the shr-settings gui, and
in contrast to what was happening before the last updates, the gui
does not show if the gprs connection is working or not. However, i can
see it the phone is connected in frameworkd.log and through ifconfig.
If I restart the gui, the connection status is updated and shows
Connected. When I press Disconnect fso shuts down correctly pppd
(the connection status in the gui is again not updated automatically):
2009.08.19 18:14:16.811 ogsmd.modems.abstract.pdp INFO shutting down pppd

This is also the last message displayed in the log also after the next steps.
if now I want to restart the shr-settings ui the application freezes
when loading the ui-modules. I just can kill the process to quit, in
addition the phone does not display any calls even if you here the
ringing on the caller's device.
Did someone experience the same problem there?

Re: Freerunner wireless internet
Just this morning, with SHR 2009/08/08: 1. resume 2. enable wifi in shr-settings 3. use mofi to connect 4. profit For me in SHR-U with mofi wifi reconnects after resume (just with the same essid however). It just doesnt re-request a dhcp lease, have to call udhcpc manually then. Does the dhcp-lease re-request after re-connection to the AP work for u guys? Could it be that mofi uses some of the workarounds? connman+mokonnect has never worked on my Freerunner, I'm willing to try new versions if they're already in the shr-u repo because mokonnect seems much more better in terms of usability (but unfortunately doesn't WFM).

Feedback would be welcome. http://www.mazikeen.demon.co.uk/openmoko/fso-simplemixer.py Known bugs and missing features: * I haven't done mapping tables for all the mixer scenarios yet. Where they aren't done you will see the individual sliders as you would in fso-mixer. * Sometimes when the state changes a setting will be shown as 0 when it is in fact non-zero. If anyone spots why this happens I would love to know! * The volume sliders cover the whole possible range, while most people probably only ever need the top half or third. * pyalsaaudio only accepts integer percentages when setting volumes, not the actual mixer hardware values used in the lookup tables. This may give some uneven steps in volume. * When individual alsa channels are shown they use the alsa names. This is fine if you know that the 'headphone' mixer controls the speaker, and the 'speaker' control is for the earpiece, let alone some of the more obscure names. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

It should eventually give a slider each for mic and earpiece, but that'll just tweak the settings in voip- handset.state slightly. It won't do state switching on answer or hangup, or sort any fundamental issues with the sound config. Problems with voip config are for another thread though.

Meanwhile, I want to use the freerunner as a WIFI connected SIP client. No need to make cellular calls or do *anything* else than VOIP. Your battery won't last long in this case because you can't suspend and still receive calls. You could save a bit of battery by turning off the GSM though. What is the advice on both the platform and application above it to reliably support WIFI and a sip client? I see linphone is mentioned in this forum. linphone worked for me a while back, but would need some work to make it usable. The main problem is the lack of alsa scenario switching between ring and call. The gui could be made more suitable for a handheld device too. Besides that, also by using the alsa scenario for voip, sound does not reach the earpiece. Thats a problem I have with SHR and qtmoko, with linphone 3 and linphone 2 respectively. It was working with older distros. I do have a problem with batterys not charging well and discharging fast, maybe some distributions fix this?

It features a Chuck figure to reflects the rev5 codename: Chuck * For those who used to love the games on OM2007.2, we put them back ! * Boot time seems to have been improved a bit + Power users / developers matters * This rev5 release has entirely been built from the automatic build system. * A Linux kernel is now packaged in hackable:1, in order not to rely on fso-pkg anymore. o Debugging has been disabled (boot time improvement) o Easier kernel upgrade when using an ext2 partition to store the kernel on µSD cards o Separation of kernel modules in three sets: essential (comes with the kernel), common modules and more modules o You can read a bit on http://zecrazytux.net/Embedded/Hackable1/Custom_Kernel.html * CDBS is now used for some packages. o the package h1packtools contains a CDBS rule that may suffice for simple programs with the autotools o this rule also enables cross-compilation ; it is based on previous works on this subject * Git repositories can now be used as sources for remote projects. Where can I find it? Where can I get it? I didn't understand last time, so I ask again : what is the answer to the ultimate question about life, the universe, and everything? As ever, you can download hackable:1 on http://download.hackable1.org/rev5. All the necessary information can be found on http://trac.hackable1.org as ever, that is documentation, installation instructions as well as known issues. It's obvious that the answer to the aforementioned question is Chuck. Who should I thank for all that stuff?

What should I expect next? Due to a very good number of good reasons, which could all of them be summed up by a minute of one of khorben's rants against libgsmd, we'll switch to Freesmartphone.Org for rev6. We will also switch from xserver-xglamo to xserver-xorg for the sake of more responsive graphics. On the developer side, we will of course continue to improve the packaging system and lower the entry barrier. All in all, more reliable GSM suspend, and almost all the features one may need.

Another issues related to the battery is that, as far as I remember, for #1024 fixed phones deep sleep does not work since the option is disabled and can not be enabled through config files or others.

Re: Introducing the Freerunner Navigation Board
On 5/3/10, Helge Hafting helge.haft...@hist.no wrote: Christoph Mair wrote: Dear community, we are proud to release a hardware extension for our beloved Freerunner: a navigation board! What is it? The Freerunner Navigation Board is a small PCB which is able to measure rotations as well as the magnetic field in 3D respectively (i.e. compass and gyroscopes integrated). The navigation board can be integrated in the existing Freerunner case. Will the magnetic sensing work with any orientation of the FR? Yes it is 3D. One use for this is to help the GPS in difficult places. The FR is usually placed with the GPS antenna facing up. When the gps signal is good, this can be used to calibrate intertial eqipment. (I.e. automatically figure out what orientation the FR has with respect to the vehicle, how much the vehicle magnetic field distorts the earths field, and how much the local magnetic field deviates from true north.) For cars, one can get USB equipment to read the odometer pulses (and lots of other stuff besides that.) A similiar sensor can be made for bicycles - having an input for that on the board would be very useful. (And given the slow cpu, a pulse counter so the software won't have to rely so much on pulse timing.) This is great for driving in tunnels. There are many mountains and tunnels where I live. Having navigation work inside tunnels would allow mapping them accurately for openstreetmap. And also have underground navigation - some tunnels have got intersections/roundabouts inside, with several possible exits. And then there are cities with too many tall buildings, and things like parking houses. In principle that would work. In practice I am afraid that will work for only short distances due to the noise of the sensors. In my opinion we should first focus on use cases in which short distance tracking is required. I think the success rate there may be higher and we can the build on our findings more complex applications. Personally, I will focus on that. I would be interested in seeing also other use cases implemented though. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

First of all kernel fixes from Gennady deserve big credit. Finally after years you should not see any white screen. Watching videos in qvga and rotating X server now works flawlessly. Thanks! Kernel sources with current .config can be found on github [5]. Updated instructions for building are in rootfs howto [6]. You can now watch youtube videos from Arora web browser. Nice howto is here [7]. There is currently problem that mplayer cant handle flv files. I think this is due to changes in youtube videos format, because it worked with apt-get installed mplayer before. But you can download the video and encode it to mp4 in qmplayer right on the device. QtMoko should now save AGPS data before GPS is switched off (e.g. after you end NeronGPS). After GPS is switched on, it will supply those stored data and you will get fast fix. AGPS data is stored in /var/cache/agpsdata. Bluetooth headsets can be now used for both audio and GSM calls. GSM calls needed fix because of kernel bug. The fix is userspace program gta02-gsm-bt-fix by Gabrys and is started/stoped when handsfree connects/disconnects. There is problem that you must have incomming call first. If you make outgoing call first, you will have no audio. This should be fixed in newer kernels but we dont know fix for 2.6.29 kernel used in this release. A2DP (bluetooth audio) support works too but with some glitches. You need headset with A2DP support. After pairing press Supported services from bluetooth device context menu. New button Connect audio (A2DP) should then appear. Sometimes it fails to connect. For me it help putting headset in pairing mode, restart phone and then the button works. If you make the bluetooth audio device default it will work in all alsa programs, but expect problems e.g. with GSM calls. If you dont make it default GSM will be ok. However only QMplayer can detect it and use it now. Other changes should not need more explanation, but if you would like to know some details i will be happy to answer questions.

I uploaded a new version of the packages that should fix this issue. If not, can you please send me the result of ls /boot/ Hi, I had a similar issue saying that the modem cannot be initialized. After apt-getting your new packages qpe starts again. Thanks! ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[shr] x86 toolchains
Hello list, for those who need it: I put 32bit toolchains for shr on Christoph's webserver. http://www.chonyota.net/freerunner/toolchains/ Cheers, Michele ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [shr] x86 toolchains
The usage is very similar to the old openmoko toolchain documented in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain : Extract the toolchain in the / directory launch; . /usr/local/shr/arm/environment-setup For shr-unstable you will need libtool 2.4 installed on your desktop. For shr-testing I dont think yet but I am not sure. thats it. You can use then for instance the arm-angstrom-gnueabi-gcc crosscompiler. For installing additional libraries to the toolchain, become root, relaunch the above command and use opkg-target update; opkg-target install lib-dev or similar. Then you can for instance use autotools to setup your software project and configure it with the --host= parameter (for unstable also the --with-sysroot= parameter).

Re: barom - an altimeter/weather utility for freerunner

The bmp085 is part of the freerunner navigation board, is to be part of the GTA04, and can be installed separately. I don't think I have an account to edit the openmoko wiki, but this could go under userspace software in the Freerunner Navigation Board page. Ben Hi Ben, thanks for sharing this application! I added a section as you said under the section userspace software of the FRNBv2 wiki page. If you want to pimp or change the short description let me know.

ValaCompass - 3D compass application for the FRNB
Hi list, I released a proof-of-concept 3D compass application that uses the hmc5843 chip included in the Freerunner Navigation Board (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freerunner_Navigation_Board) and the accelerometers of the GTA02. The GUI is not fancy at all but it should be ok for playing around :) Thanks to the SHR guys the application is already in the SHR-U feeds. A short wiki page that provides information on installation, usage and the location of the source code is available at: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/ValaCompass Regards, Michele ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

The GUI is not fancy at all You told me, that it's not fancy. But the screenshot hit me anyway. That's a bit spartanic, don't you think? ^.^ You should believe what I write! :) I would have imagined something like this as a frontend: http://www.maissen.com/juwelier/images/meister_kompass.jpg A 3D animated compass would be so insanely cool ^.^ I do agree! But I currently dont want to face 3D texture rendering issues. It's slow enough as it is now with this dumb vector visualization :) once it will draw the lines with an acceptable refresh rate maybe it will be worth trying. Or maybe someone here on the list can provide infos on that. regards, Michele ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
SensMon - Monitoring sensors on your handheld
Hi folks, I released a new version of SensMon (0.21) which among other things allows to accept sensor data input through network socket or recorded sensor data from a textfile. I also introduced sort of a config file for setting basic options. Since it's not totally user-friendly yet, you might take a look at the wiki page (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/SensMon) for instructions on how to use this features. This version is finally available directly from the SHR-unstable feeds. Currently the FreeRunner accel chips (i2c (N900) + spi interface), FRNBv1+v2 sensors and some others are supported (remember to load the corresponding kernel modules before using ;)).

Re: Bluetooth keyboards
Hi, On 5/2/11, giacomo 'giotti' mariani giacomomari...@yahoo.it wrote: Hello, Hi all. Howdy Will bluetooth keyboards work with the freerunner (qtmoko)? Well. It's a fully featured linux. I recently bought a bluetooth headset. Works like charm together with my FreeRunner (SHR) Shouldn't be SUCH a problem to also get it running under QtMoko and so I guess something simple as a keyboard will even be less tinkering to get it working. I bet there are thousand and one HowTos around. http://www.ubuntugeek.com/howto-setup-bluetooth-keyboard-and-mouse-in-ubuntu.html Bluetooth+HCID is the keyword Is there any update on the topic of BT keyboard+QtMoko? I am especially interested in the Freedom Pro Bluetooth Keyboard, but recommendations are welcome Yes. An alternative could be the one from the wiki: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Freedom_Slim_Keyboard But there is no mention of qtmoko support? The distro only has to serve the needed bt-tools, then everything will work. I recently bought the following one: http://cgi.ebay.it/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=260747301433ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT which is quite cheep, small and light. It can pair with QtMoko but I can't use it for input. I tested it with the iphone of a colleague and, indeed, it works. I guess I have to same one. Does it at least work under QX in QtMoko for you? I just remember I tried it there and it worked. Also under SHR it worked.
