The image looks pretty good to me. I really appreciate how responsive it is. I've successfully tested sending and receiving SMSs, playing sgt-puzzles, Pidgin MSN and IRC, and Vagalume. Unfortunately I do see frequent system freezes - reliably within half an hour of intensive usage. This is when running from the SD, and using the Glamo driver, and I guess is the same as or similar to what is already covered at https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/2364 and http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/1143. For now, to hopefully work around this, I've switched to fbdev. I think this does make the phone feel slightly less responsive, but it is not a massive difference; and the phone is certainly still much more responsive than my previous SHR-T (with 2.6.29 I believe). > The image is based on the 2010.12 release of OpenEmbedded and has > latest versions of E, SHR and FSO apps. > > Since last testing a lot has changed: > * Switch to illume2 as illume(1) isn't maintained anymore Contrary to my expectations, and what I've written in the past, illume2 is actually fine - although obviously it will be even nicer when the shr_elm_softkey bug is properly fixed. I like having just single clicks for popping the keyboard up and down, and for switching between keyboard layouts; and the home button is convenient too. Many thanks to you and the team for your work on this!
