Re: My Suggestions for FDOM
For EBooks I have opie-reader working on the image from Qtopia.net but I don't have enough spare time to work out how to build it for any of the other variants. If anyone can build Qtopia apps for anything other than the Qtopia image and can tell me how to do it, I'll have a go (or if they want to have a go themselves I can provide the sources) - but I don't have the spare time to experiment with the build systems to get something that works. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
My Suggestions for FDOM
Hi there, I've just moved to FDOM and I love it. I have a few ideas to make it better - these aren't criticisms - it's great at the moment - these are just ideas to make it better - I don't expect anyone to agree about all of them, but these are suggestions... # Midori(with the settings tweaked) is better for the screensize than minimo - I find it more usable # accel-rotate program, or a way to start/stop it - this is a simple script to use the accelerometers to rotate with xrandr. It seems quite stable. An ipkg is available - http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Rotate When I was running 22007.2, two cool programs I had from Angstrom were: # Quasar - a x11 mplayer front end. This is not perfect for the freerunner - it ideally needs some UI work doing (more than just setting tweaking), especially on it's fonts, however, i have launched mpg QVGA videos with it and watched them as well as listening to music with it. # Claws Mail A lightweight mail client - with a bit of UI tweaking from the view menu makes a completely usable mail client. Since we have qmail, I guess this is not necessary, but it's a thought. # FBreader? I would love to see an ebook reader but I think there are big dependency issues here :( # Games Personally, I would prefer to get rid of sudoku and to possibly to get kobodeluxe on there. Though not ready yet, keeping an eye on http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/accelgame might be good. # lint-wifi Personally, I prefer lint-wifi to mofi. I really like being able to see the network info it displays (ie IP, DNS DDHCP) as it helps troubleshooting stuff when things dont work :P http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Lint-wifi # wpa_supplicant.conf Possibly modify the default the wpa_supplicant.conf to automatically connect to unencrypted wifi hotspots? :-/ I can't help too much - my stupid OM setup script - (givemeteh)apppznow is pretty much obsolete as a result of FDOM :) so I will help in the ways I can. I have joined the development list and considering all the spare high speed bandwidth I have, I've set up a mirror - http://files.tdobson.net/openmoko/freerunner/fadom/ At some point soon I'll get rid of the 'a' in "fadom" :P Cheers for the good work, keep it up! :D Tim -- www.tdobson.net If each of us have one object, and we exchange them, then each of us still has one object.
