 Hi all.

 I flashed the new Image 
 (http://people.openmoko.org/sean_mcneil/androidfs.jffs2)
 and uimage (http://people.openmoko.org/sean_mcneil/uImage-android).

 I expect, as read in other threads
 (http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td1583918%7Ca1585457),
  to have the virtual keyboard
 startable via menu. But its missing.

 Is there a possibility to install this keyboard.

Hi,

This keyboard is indeed not in this image. But Sean just  indicated he
is now in process of including it.
Said in kernel list

 Have you tried to integrate it ?



 Argg. Completely slipped my mind. I'm going back over your work right
 now.


 Ok cool !

 oh and it was Rui Castro I was talking about for the keyboard :

 http://groups.google.com/group/android-framework/browse_thread/thread/c8ca666ee3fa9cca


 Yes, that's the one I will incorporate.




 For now I have not yet seen what are the differences with previous
 image (the broken one without video libs, that was quickly removed)

 I will now try with your latest kernel.



 With latest kernel :
 - when trying to shut down android, it is stuck showing shutting down
 
 - backlight brigthness cannot be adjusted (it looks like it is at
 maximum).


 Yes, I experience the same behavior here on shutdown. It is lower priority
 to me than the other problems, though.
 Backlight has moved in the new kernel. It's been a while since I've done any
 verification on that.

 You'll need to change /system/build.prop:

 backlight.lcd=/sys/class/backlight/gta02-bl

 I'm going to move everything forward to andy-tracking. Better to test now
 than later.

 And WIFI seems to still not work (with either kernel) : impossible to
 search networks


 This has been broken for me a long time on various kernels. It must me
 something I'm doing wrong. I'll need to get Werner to help me on this. I
 just can't get anything on a scan at all.

 Are there other images of Android available at the moment?

A new image is coming at:
 http://people.openmoko.org/sean_mcneil/androidfs.jffs2

More from Sean's words in devel list:
 I am uploading a new rootfs.jffs as I type. It will take a few hours
 with my slow connection :(
 
 The issue with patents is causing great pain. Android is setup to either
 build with all of Packet Videos opencore, or to eliminate it. If
 eliminated, then the media playback and record cannot work as it uses
 Packet Video in a JNI interface. Building a partial opencore library is
 also quite difficult. I can't just eliminate particular codecs as they
 are static libraries with lots of dependencies.
 
 So, media handling is broken at the moment. You will see that it tells
 you in logcat it is out of memory, but that is just a bogus error. I am
 still working to fix it.

Bye!

If you can wait a week or so Koolu - http://www.koolu.com/ - have promised to
release their version of Android for Freerunner in the first week of
December.

I hope that means they'll release it for general use and not just for their
customers. I also hope they release the source code for any changes they
make back into the wider android community. I guess we'll see.

I'm really curious about this release, especially for their solution to 
   the missing hardware keyboard. The Koolu website indeed states that 
Android on the Freerunner will be available in december, but earlier the 
release would be november, so i wonder when it will be released.

Where does it say that it will be released in the first week of december?

I think they made an announcement or press release or some such. It's
covered in a bunch of online blogs and news sources -

They all sound quite similar and you're right, there is no sign of it on the
koolu site, so we can only hope for now.

I too am interested in what they've done about a keyboard. From the animated
image on their site it looks like they've solved the call answering problem
by putting in an on-screen button for it, which looks good to me.

All,

I am not an official spokes person for Koolu, but I had a chance to  
speak with Jon Maddog Hall (self described Chief Advocate for  
Openmoko and in the employ of Koolu) at the Open Mobile Summit last  
week in San Francisco, CA. He indicated that Koolu and Sean were  
working together. Further, although I can not recall his exact  
phrasing, but as he's an open source advocate, I'm quite confidant  
that sources will be made available to the community by Koolu. How  
else will the source be made international?

Perhaps someone from Koolu could set expectations for a release date  
and source code availability?

Maddog's been part of the linux community forever -- long before it
became fashionable. I can't see him holding out on us.

Incidentally, my phone was part of a koolu 10-pack, and I didn't get
any sort of special certificate or other means or proving I got it
from them.

  I met with Maddog at the summit to discuss the some of these issues, 
so I'll ask him to chime in here. Brian Code as well could speak to some of
these issues.
