Re: Has anyone tried Qi?
Ok, I prepared the SD card with the boot loader and the kernel, and set the SMDK6410 cfg switches/jumpers to boot it from SD. But nothing shows up on the LCD.

Re: Has anyone tried Qi?
Hi, I have a SMDK6410 board. I have successfully compiled dfu-util, Qi, and Openmoko kernel on my Ubuntu machine. The SMDK6410 is just as I got it from the company, I haven't modified its firmware. I have connected it to my computer with a USB cable, that goes into the OTG USB host port on the board (This is how the Windows DNW utility transfers a Win CE image to the board). So, when I use dfu-util to try to burn the Qi image into it, I get the following error: r...@conectech-desktop# ./dfu-util -a u-boot -R -D../qi/image/qi-s3c6410-master_84e38630c7135c1f.udfu dfu-util - (C) 2007-2008 by OpenMoko Inc. This program is Free Software and has ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY No DFU capable USB device found Can you please tell me how to transfer the boot loader and the kernel to the NAND? I also have an Olimex OCD (that connects to the JTAG interface on the board) , if it is needed anyway.

I've been using qi off and on for a couple weeks. Plus side: Faster. approximately 30% faster, by the stopwatch, than uBoot. Neg side: (note that these are of course fixable) Sound doesn't currently work, period. soundcard device not found. With SHR, FSO, 2008.x, Raster at least. Often doesn't boot the first attempt after restoring power, needs second 'press and hold' Often doesn't want to resume after suspend. of note: Backlight turns on right away, but screen remains blank until kernel load, and kernel does NOT output gobs of text to the screen. Will ALWAYS boot from uSD if first partition is ext2 and contains /boot/uImage.bin, otherwise boots from NAND. No splash screen. (not a problem, just be aware) I altered /etc/init.d/banner to print an ascii openmoko logo, so there'd be something more than 'please wait, booting' onscreen until X starts. In short: Looks extremely promising, and once the soundcard bug is fixed I will probably flash Qi and never look back. Until soundcard and suspend issues are addressed, I'd recommend it ONLY FOR TESTING. j ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
Hi, I have installed my (screen only) invisible shield. It is not invisible, but quite ok. Difference in aspect is that it looks less smooth/glossy/slick. (I'm french... I just try not to use too wrong words to describe :-) ) And it also has more grip... slipping finger or stylus is less easy. (a bit like if you try to do it on a rubber eraser) Though it gets better after it has completely dried... but hard to compare since I got used to it... (I need another freerunner !) Oh... something else I noticed : with it, do not use anymore a ballpoint pen ! Ink will stay on the invisible shield. So take care with the multifunction stylus. I could wash out the ink by getting it a little wet and sweeping, but I do not know if it would have been more difficult if I had waited longer and it would have dried more...

It is quite exactly the visible size of the screen. Very slightly smaller.

I sprayed quite a lot (too much ?), and water (well the solution in the spray) is then wiped out to the edges. Take it away before it gets into the body and the electronic components.

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
I cannot comment on the product. I placed my order on July 4th and aside from the charge to my card and the confirmation of sale email I haven't heard a thing from ZAGG. I sent their customer service an email on Monday, no reply. I called them today and their phone line says they are having a company holiday and will be out all day and half of tomorrow. Some of the people in my OM buyers group ordered just the screen protectors (I ordered the whole device protection) and received them within a week. So, my experience hs not been very good thus far.

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
I assume the general consensus is that the screen only protector is more desirable than then full body one? Is the full body one necessary? I'm worried about it being to rubbery to easily slide into a pocket or something. I'm also worried that the rubbery texture will make the screen too hard to use, but I guess something will be needed to protect the screen. Please let me know you thoughts - especially if you got the full body protector. 2008/7/23 Brian C [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Søren Kristiansen wrote: Hello As the subject says, has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?

Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
Hello As the subject says, has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner? I'm still waiting for my freerunner but I'd like some sort of protection for it once it arrives. How invisible is it? I've watched a lot of videos on youtube and on zagg's homepage and it looks like the shield adds a lot of reflection to the device. Is it easy to install on the freerunner? Do you have to open the freerunner to add, eg. the screen protection? How does the body cover fit on the round edges on the freerunner?

I was planning to do that tonight or tomorrow. If no-one else has replied by then, I'll let you know how it went. From what I've seen by looking at the package, it's specially cut to form around the curves of the Neo, but we'll see how well that works out. -- John Reese LeetCode.net ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
Yes, I'm using the full body shield and I really like it. It was somewhat difficult to apply but worth it. You don't need to take apart the FR and it comes with some spray that makes it so you can make little adjustments to the position of the shield directly after application. It is a little more reflective than the LCD was without it, but quite usable. -Brad Søren Kristiansen wrote: Hello As the subject says, has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?

Re: Has anyone tried the invisibleSHIELD on the freerunner?
It barely fits without taking the FR apart, but you can still see the edge s if you look. Also, dust tends to gather around the edges just a little bit.
