Freerunner with buzz-fix for sale
Alas the dream didn't come true for me. I need a phone with a reliable calendar/alarm system, and I don't see any of the Openmoko distros delivering that any time soon. I'm going to pick up a Palm Pre, since that at least has a real Linux under the hood. My Neo is thus for sale.

Re: full-keyboard for Om 2008.08?
DooD wrote: The files you need to edit are under /usr/lib/enlightenment/modules/illume/keyboards I believe there is a Full-QWERTY.kbd in there, just backup the Default.kbd and replace it with the Full-QWERTY.kbd mv Default.kbd Defaultbackup.kbd mv Full-QWERTY.kbd Default.kbd /etc/init.d/xserver-nodm restart I tried this, but I still get the standard keyboard. Somewhere along the line I installed the illume package with the 'qwerty' icon. Maybe that has something to do with this? Also, I see this interesting comment in Default.kbd: # if the key out is in quotes - q for example, then this key is used for # typing words and can be part of a dictionary match, any other key when # pressed will end the dictionary match (u can disable dictionary # matching in # a layout by not having any outputs in quotes) So, that implies that if I can just get the system to recognize alternate kbd files, I can turn off dictionary matching, which would make me rather happy. Hmmm, waitaminnit, looking at the files in that directory, I don't think they control the standard 2008.08 keyboard. I'm talking about the one where you flick up/down to shift to other layouts. Sigh. I guess I'm still stuck with the irritating keyboard.

I even tried to search the repo for cron and at without luck - so I suppose these are manual build/installs? As I understand it, there is not yet a cron or the moral equivalent. It's not a simple port, as you have to be able to wake the phone from suspend, etc. I'm hoping that someone who understands the low-level issues will decide to dive into this, because I have a number of ideas that require something like cron. Perhaps this will be part of FSO?

Turning off the tap sound?
Back in June there was a thread about turning off the tap/click feedback when you touch the screen. Towards the end Michael 'Mickey' Lauer wrote: *) I still like my tap sound. *) Almost all people do not want the tap sound. *) You will be able to turn off the tap ;) However, I haven't been able to find any instructions on how to accomplish this. Is there a way? The tap noise drives me crazy.

Re: Reason for GPS problems found!

I did one test w/o the SD card, and it was 96 seconds TTFF, with average signal strength of around 38. Two tests with the card were 98s and 180s, both with SS around 35. For me there's not a lot of difference, which is good. Note that all three of the tests were done without a SIM card. -- Dirk ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Using GPS to automatically find and use Points of Interest
Casey Harkins wrote: Possible uses: can be combined with Google Maps or something like that to give other people an idea of the travel route you have followed. The primary use is just to keep a record of everywhere I've gone with the phone (reported once a day). This gives me an idea: *) Keep track of everywhere you go for a week or so, taking a data point every few minutes. *) Find all the places you spent more than an hour at. *) Plot them on a map, and let the user name each one (work, home, cafe, Joe's house, movie theater, etc.). Now you've got a list of the important places in your life. You can use this list to drive position-dependent behavior on the phone: *) Turn off the ringer when at the movie theater. *) Turn up the ringer volume at the noisy cafe. *) Turn on wifi at home and at work. *) Sync contacts and calendar over wifi when you get home. *) Remind you to pick up the book you loaned Joe next time you're at his house. Position dependent todo lists could be a real killer app. Alert me with this message next time I'm within X meters of this location.

Ian Darwin wrote: The phrase free phone already means the opposite of what we want it to mean. It's done, finished, over. Move on. Ugh, Ian's right. That phrase has been violently co-opted by the carriers. Much as I like The free(d) phone, I don't think we can use that anywhere outside the geek community. I suspect that few, if any, of us are going to be able to figure out how to advertise this phone to a non-geek.

As I understand it, the Neo 1973 hardware was originally developed for an unspecified FIC customer. That deal fell through, and somehow OpenMoko came onto the scene. Thus we have this somewhat oddball platform. It wasn't planned this way, it's a happy accident that any of this happened at all. My reading of Sean's announcement is that future hardware platforms will be designed in a more collaborative fashion. I suspect that the hardware he talked about for 2008 is probably pretty far along in the design cycle by now, but the versions after that are likely to be more open. -- -- Dirk Bergstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://otisbean.com/ ___ OpenMoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
