Re: [qtmoko] flight mode power consumption / turning gsm back on
Excerpts from robin's message of 2012-08-28 06:54:12 +: I have a question regarding the flight mode: if I turn it on (GTA02 qtmoko v47) the icon is shown on the home screen and calls are not possible anymore, so this is how I expected it to behave, but the antenna still seems to be on as I see some bars indicating reception and the power consumption stays the same as without flight mode. there once was a paper which looked at different parts of power consumption of the freerunner and if I remember correctly GSM was one of the major consumers. Now if I turn flight mode of the GSM apparently cannot connect to the station anymore and I have to reboot. robin +1 i use my Freerunner without SIM just as PDA+wifi so turn off GSM would make a lot of sense... ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Fwd: [OHANDA] a Year of Open Source Everything
Excerpts from Sam Muirhead's message of 2012-08-14 15:57:15 +: I would very much like to at least do a writeup and video about the OpenPhoenux, its community, its possibilities, needs and challenges. Obviously it would be wonderful if I could test an OpenPhoenux, but is there anybody who might be interested in telling me a bit more about its history of the project, and the hopes for the future of open source portable devices/smartphones? As the original email stated, I'm based in Berlin, happy to do interviews etc in German if preferred. I will be travelling around a bit this year, so can visit people in other parts of Europe, but if there are any people active with Openmoko/GTA04/OpenPhoenux in Berlin, I'd love to hear from you! Kind regards, Sam Muirhead AFAIK OpenPhoenux development focalizes in Munich :) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Fwd: [OHANDA] a Year of Open Source Everything
maybe we could organize an OpenPhoenux for Sam and his challenge? :) --- Begin forwarded message from sam --- From: sam s...@yearofopensource.net To: ohanda oha...@piksel.no Date: Thu, 26 Jul 2012 11:01:24 + Subject: [OHANDA] a Year of Open Source Everything Hi, I'm a filmmaker based in Berlin, about to start a year of trying to live as free / libre / open source as possible - not just software but also hardware, clothes, music... everything. it will be the subject of a weekly video series throughout the year, with plenty of articles and interviews along the way. The fastest way to get to grips with the idea is probably to watch the pitch video [1]. I want to use the project as a way to portray the idea and benefits of freedom, transparency and modification in the products we use, and tell my story of discovery as a way of tying all of these various different aspects together, whether legal, technical, or cultural. I think the OHANDA approach is an admirable one and something more people need to hear about, and I'd love to meet up with someone (or a few people) from the organisation to talk about its aims and processes - I'd like to film something if possible but there are other options we can discuss for the camera-shy... I think OHANDA tackles a key issue in this movement and I'd like to show what you're doing relatively early on in the project (which starts in 6 days!) but I can start by giving a summary of who you are and what you're doing, link to your site, and then a little later in the project we can do a more in-depth feature. Please let me know if anyone from OHANDA would be interested in helping out with the project in any way, if you can offer any support or advice, and if you have any links to other projects / organisations that may be relevant to my project, they would be very welcome!

Re: OpenPhoenux / GTA04 @ LinuxTag Berlin
Excerpts from Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller's message of 2012-05-16 06:19:37 +: Lukas and myself will be in Berlin at Friday (25 may) afternoon and Saturday (26 may). We are looking forward to meet as many of you as possible for face to face discussions! I think there will be many interesting things to discuss: * GTA04 and future * 3D case printing * Keyboard prototype * Distro projects (SHR, QtMoko, Replicant/AoF, ...) * Openmoko.org organization * whatever you think is important There will be a shared Project Meeting Point (Booth 7.2a 181c) as scheduled here: http://wiki.linuxtag.org/w/fp:ProjectMeetingPoints Please look up regularily since it may change on short notice. And, we have made a late entry submission for a presentation, but it is not yet confirmed. To make easier the decision to come, the LinuxTag organizers have given us some free entrance tickets (regular price is AFAIK 20 EUR). If you are interested, please send me a private mail and I can send you an electronic ticket that you can print yourself.

Boot2Gecko - Open Web Device
looks interesting to me - partnered with mozilla... http://www.openwebdevice.com The heart of the system is Mozilla's Boot2Gecko, which has always been open and opensource. The Open Web Device is also using a Linux Kernel (the same one used by Android devices) which is also open. This is a 100% open project where, for instance, operators and OEMs can actively and openly contribute to the code, instead of Mozilla developing internally and making code drops available. =) ~ elf Pavlik ~ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: [Debian] Preinstalled minimal image available for Neo FreeRunner
Excerpts from Timo Jyrinki's message of 2012-03-21 16:24:25 +: 2011/9/12 Timo Jyrinki timo.jyri...@gmail.com: Just to let you know, that since I tested that install.sh [1] is working now, I'm making available a snapshot of a minimal Debian installation since I had a clean install anyway [2] - see file Debian_NeoFreeRunner_minimalrootfs_20110912.tar.xz. About the same story repeated, but for 2012. I was asked about the pre-installation image which prompted me to update it. And while updating it I noticed that install.sh had a couple of problems, which I fixed: - Removed obsolete fso-gpsd - Install fso-gtaXX instead of fso-config-gtaXX - Removed obsolete zhone - Offer phoneui-apps in COM - Switch from experimental (unneeded) to unstable for the main Debian repository I only tried minimal installation still, though. I also updated instructions for install.sh usage at http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner - note mainly that you probably want to remove openmoko-panel-plugin since its functionality starts to be limited and it eats most of the CPU for no good reason. The pre-installed minimal rootfs is now at: http://people.debian.org/~timo/NeoFreeRunner/ (Debian_NeoFreeRunner_minimalrootfs_20120321.tar.xz) It expects a single partition on the MicroSD card where the tar.xz is unpacked and a Qi bootloader. SSH:ing in works after booting (root password 'changeme'), and after apt-get install foxtrotgps gpsd navit omhacks monav midori wicd lxterminal phoneui-apps you may actually get something useful done. If you want some home UI to use when not attached to computer, you may try my hacky and ugly https://github.com/tjyrinki/tihos As for my own setup, it's still the old http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:TimoJyrinki with FSO1 actually, but I now did this update to enable others more easily to do something useful. -Timo Great! Thank you very much =) First thing I did when setting it up, I've changed IPs as in new SHR: NOTE: IP adresses are changed in new SHR-CORE images after 110822, phone 192.168.7.2 host: 192.168.7.1 It makes bit more sense to me than taking chance with ..0. ;) ~ elf Pavlik ~ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Microtouch
Just spotted on: http://blog.p2pfoundation.net Microtouch - The ultimate AVR-based iPhone killer! http://www.ladyada.net/products/microtouch/ Sure, the iTouch is pretty cool. But who wants such a locked down device? Why not build your own touch-screen device, with your own apps, all on open source hardware and using open source tools? OK, it can't play MP3s, but it does have a 320x240 TFT color display with resistive touch screen, an Atmega32u4 8-bit microcontroller, lithium polymer battery charger, backlight control, micro-SD slot, and a triple-axis accelerometer. Yeah, this is the next big thing and for those of us who like to DIY, you can do a lot of cool stuff with this dev board. + video showcasing using it as ebook reader http://youtu.be/314v1H_aN2o =) ~ elf Pavlik ~ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the GTA04 project
Excerpts from Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller's message of 2011-12-23 10:05:11 +: We did see a lot of progress this year in the GTA04 project towards a new open handheld mobile platform running freeopen software and trying to respect as many freedoms of the user as possible. We have seen the delivery of the first batch of the Early Adopter boards (GTA04A3) and several members of this community have greatly improved on the kernel and user space applications. Thanks to those brave guys! On the hardware side the first GTA04A4 board has been produced and tested yesterday. After fixing three minor hardware issues and some issues in kernel, U-Boot and MLO/X-Loader [1] it appears that everything now works as expected! Production rampup will continue in the first week of January so that it will soon become possible to deliver from stock. And, we have now a closer cooperation with OpenPandora so that we will find synergies in software, hardware and production. For the group tour we already have reached 12% subscription and you have to hurry a little since the first early booking rebate will be sold out soon. So here is the new baby GTA04A4: Higher resolution image: http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail/gta04-owner/attachments/20111223/d2bc54bc/attachment-0001.jpg Finally we have already made some experiments with 3D milling and also have a new idea how we can design a case that can be produced at shapeways. So you can expect progress in the area of new cases in the next weeks. Last but not least we have improved the hub page www.GTA04.org so that it should be easier to dig into relevant information starting at a single place. We from Golden Delicious Computers running the GTA04 project wish all a Merry Christmas (or if you don't believe in christian gods: we wish nice holidays :) and all the best for the year 2012.
