Re: [b2g] Firefox OS alongside a framebuffer console?

2013-12-18 Thread daniel . ina1
Hi John, I don't really get the idea about your motivation for using a framebuffer console. On smartphones with rather small screens, you run all apps in full screen and have no window manager, borders etc. You can easily switch between those apps and you can run a terminal emulator there as

[b2g] Reading battery uptime

2013-11-28 Thread daniel . ina1
Hi folks, what would be an easy way to read the battery uptime of a device? Unlike Android, I didn't find this info in the settings. Background: I flashed a self-compiled build on my nexus-s running in flight mode on november 1st, and left the phone somewhere in the pocket. When I took it out

Actually I bought a used Nexus-S in almost newish condition for even less that I paid for the crappy ZTE Open which I flashed dead because of the broken bootloader 2 days later and which catches dust because ZTE is still unwilling to help me (see my other postings about that). The Nexus-S has

Although I don't know a solution for this, I see the same problem. I really don't like the build system which dynamically fetches stuff when needed and when one mirror is down then the build completely breaks after i.e. 2 hours. This is completely against the fail early principle. The build

Hey folks, there is obviously one commit that fixes this waiting for over 6 months (!!) to be merged: https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/b2g-manifest/pull/62 Why is this issue not fixed at all except mentioning it in the wiki (which is fine, but only cures the symptoms).

[b2g] Experiences with 1.2 branch on Nexus-S (aka crespo / herring)

2013-11-03 Thread daniel . ina1
Hi folks, I wanted to ask if others made the same experience with the current state of the 1.2 branch on the Nexus-S. I have a build from friday on my device, and while it runs better than one I built 3 weeks ago, it is far from being smooth: The UI is pretty laggy, especially when scrolling

Re: [b2g] device mix names and code names

2013-11-03 Thread daniel . ina1
Thanks for the explanations. Is there a reason why the names of ports to existing (not b2g-exclusive) devices differ from their internal names in the Android world? A pretty confusing example is the international version of the nexus-s (i9023): Google: soju Cyanogenmod: crespo B2G: herring

Naoki, thanks for the hint but was your post adressed at me? If yes - as pointed out in my post from Oct 13th I am not able to access the phone via fastboot, thus I can't reflash it this way. ___ dev-b2g mailing list dev-b2g@lists.mozilla.org

I also have a bricked ZTE Open, yes one of the early ones without the later fastboot update. Mine is neither accessible via fastboot nor adb anymore, only through the diagnostics interface. I can't get into clockworkmod recovery (it hangs), so it requires some sort of low level flash.

Andreas was so kind to forward my issue to some other Mozilla people who now forwarded it to ZTE. I really hope that ZTE will find a better way to deal with this situation, especially if I'm not the only having this problem. I own a couple other devices, but normally for developer devices there

Hubert: Thanks, but this works unless you haven't also bricked your recovery. If you look at the instructions inside the archive you can see that it needs to be flashed from recovery. Holding down the volume rocker will not start flashing blindly but just get you into recovery. This might help

Hi folks, I have read at various places, that FirefoxOS is supposed to support device encryption in the future. But are there any concrete plans to implement this feature in one of the next releases? I didn't find anything about this in the FAQs. Also, is there a roadmap of the features
