Re: Need help flashing my freerunner for the first time

 Re: Need help flashing my freerunner for the first time
Congratulations - it wont be your last :)

On my machine dfu-util is quite picky about when to work, my workflow is
like this:

Start freerunner in flashing mode, watch /var/log/messages till USB
device is there...

run:

sudo dfu-util -a kernel -R -D file (or whatever)

over and over again, until it reports an error device lost after reset
(or something like this)

run:

sudo dfu-util -l

over and over again, until it lists several lines of devices.

then run the first line again and it THEN it works. Flashing the rootfs
will occasionally fail, just do it again.

When I say over and over again it is often 20-30 times :)

This may seem akward, but you get used to it :)

Cheers,
- Gunnar

Re: OpenCellID (was OpenBmap logger (GSM positioning)])

2009-02-21 Thread Thomas Landspurg
2009/2/20 Nick realtimeb...@gmail.com

 Thomas,

 After trying to reach you a few times last year,
 i am really glad to have some news from you now.


  The easiest way is to use the email mentionned in the Web page! ;-)



 I am reponsible for the openBmap website. And yes, it would be a great
 thing to merge our projects !

 The number of logs you have is very impressive ! well done !

 My concern would be about the quality of your data .

 you still mention on the front page

 Note:If you want a professional CellID Database, I suggest you to go to
 Navizon
 who provides top services and databases.

 what do you mean ?



 Tihs mean that there are company that have created huge databases of high
quality by spendig a lot of money on it, and they make money by selling
these data. Navizon pays his users for this, and other are throwing a lot of
money on this too, by sending people doing measures, or by buying operators
database. That's exactly the same difference between OpenStreetMap and
Navteq/Teleatlas. OpenStreetMap is free, provided by the community, but of a
lower quality than their commercial counterpart except on some specific area
not covered by these equivalents. Of course, the objective is to reach the
same quality, but this will take time.




 and after importing 800 000 of your gps points in january, I see that
 for instance
 gps speed,  gps hdop, gps pdop, gps vdop are not available
  (at least at the begining of this huge measures.txt file !),


 A bad pdop, vdop, hdop and i am positioned at 1 km from my real position
 ...
 What if i am in a high speed train at 300 km/h? or in plane ? (yes, it
 can work in planes...)



  Let's go back to the basics: the objective of these database if to provied
an positionning to create services using localisation on top of this
database. Let's take the sample of an high speed train: there is high
chances that all the sample will came from people in the train itself, and
not from the neighbour outside (train don't go at 300 km/h in high density
area). So this mean that the REAL position of the cell will never be
accuratly computed, which is not an issue, because the only interesting
information is the user position. So sampling mesures even some errors is
fine as long as it works fine to get user position.
  So the philosophy behing opencellid was to reach the 80/20 ratio:
acheiving the 80% of functionality will require only 20% of the time needed
to do these 100% functionality. So that's why we have a simple and elegant
API, that is used by different devices with different capacities, while
acheiving exactly this objective: providing an accurate cell id
positionning.



 In my opinion, considering the following services

 *** asisted gps
 *** cell id to google my position kind of service
 *** cell id to town name service



  the real questions are:
 what precision do we need for openmoko location service through gsm cell
 id ?
 what precision our possibly merged database would provide ?


Assisted GPS does not require huge precision. I am not an expert, but I
would be curious to know what is the precision needed to get an assisted
GPS. Using triangulation is a different story, and this obvisouly will work
fine only in high density area, where you also have high density cells. So
again, there is a direct correlation between the precision and the density
of the area.
  Note also that OpenCellID use LAC (Local Area Code) to provide an
alternate positioning with a lower precision if a cell is not know, but if
the LAC is know. Typically other cells has been discovered in the same area.

   So once you get CellID positionning, you can use reverse geocoding
service to get the town for instance.




 what do you think about the above considerations ?

 really glad to hear from you !

 regards,
 Nick

 We thought about this. We also store the phone model, in order to
 possibly be able to use some data of known good phones, or simply the
 data of the same model as yours, etc...


 You can, but then, what about other project tht does not store these datas?
How to merge other atabases? So storing everything is fine as long as ALL
the data comes with the same precision or level of information, which is not
the case today.



 
  Good to see there is no client for openmoko, otherwise I may have
 worked
  for nothing ;-)
 
 
   Yes, I've heard that other where working on such client too!

 Are the people behind CellHunter following this thread? Please jump in
 if so.


 We are already discussing to reintegrate their data in OpenCellID! :-)


 As there are also plans on embedding the database on the phone, and
 using it to locate, I would like to know if this part would interest
 you? Or only the server side and upload?


 The idea is to provide all the means to do so. So if there is anything
 that is needed to help you to do this, I would be happy to provide it.
 For instance, a way to send an area and get the list of cells in that
 area. I amalready working on such  functionality.

Great!

But the switch to from OpenBMap to OpenCellID should be quite fast as
  I assume that the API is probably the same, or very close to. (
  http://www.opencellid.org/api )
 

 For my part, the logging client, it can be easily adapted to feed other
 databases. For the location part, Nick knows this better than me.

Re: Request to provide input on Sahana mobile application on Openmoko

2009-02-21 Thread Ajay Kumar
Hi All,
A gentle reminder and request to everyone subscribed on the list to
provide input through the survey I have created for the Sahana mobile
project I am working on right now.
So far, I have received only 6-10 responses from actual domain experts
and Sahana developers.
Since I am basing my developing on the Openmoko platform, I expect to
understand more about the system, and so far only a few less than 5-10
people from the Openmoko community have responded.

I am sure there are more available on the list, so I'd request you to fill
up the survey. Besides, it just takes 5-10 minutes of your time to fill it
up :)
The link to the survey is:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pWeVl6IM9h6UKAGOx231pFA

Your guidance and input will help me have a greater understanding of
the domain and its utility.

Thanks  Regards,

Hi !

I totally agree with you, i will implement this for the 0.2 version
For the mono thing, I would like it but I don't know yet how to do it. This
is why when you open a wav recorded file with audacity, you can see the 2
left and right side, but only the right has data... This is not good. So if
someone knwos the parameter to put in arecord to record only one mono sound,
this would help !

I think 44100 Hz is overkill for something like this. 8 kHz ought to be
 enough and would save a lot of disk space. I would have also suggested a
 mono recording, but I'm not sure that is supported.

My big problem is that the freerunner stays active for 30 seconds, but
dfu-util takes 3 minutes before it even tries to connect, by this time it
just spits out an error about how it can't find the device.  I am using the
USB cable that came in the OM package, I can deffinitly try a different USB
port, good thing my computer has a lot of those it seems.  As for the
setting menu not working on my phone does this work in 2008.12?  This now my
biggest reason for wanting to flash it, without access to settings there is
not much I can do to it.

Re: yaml rule to stop suspending when using gps

2009-02-21 Thread William Kenworthy
Tkx, but what I was hoping for was a way to say
If tangogps is running, dont turn screen off or suspend, even if on
battery

If I am using gps, there are two scenarios - I am using it to navigate
hence I am looking at the screen, or I am waiting for a lock.  Having it
continually dimming or suspending might be desirable to save battery
life, but its REALLY annoying when on the bike :)

It would be much nicer if the FR could put itself into the correct
configuration automaticly, not for me to open the settings, then open
power, then change the settings, only to go through the whole rigmorole
again when Ive finished with gps 

If yaml wont do it, might have to resort to perl and dbus

runaway killed it :(  Thats with 2008.12, maybe FSO/SHR will be even
better?

 Don't know if the GPS chip in FR is specially power-hungry, but for example 
 my

 As said bellow, I think you should use external power for GPS...
 
 What I was trying to say is that only 3 months ago, my battery life was  24

 even suspended all the time.
 Being ~50% after 40 hours is a HUGE improvement :)

[Debian] No wlan device with 2.6.28-20090105.git69b2aa26

2009-02-21 Thread Marcel
Hello,

I installed kernel 2.6.28-20090105.git69b2aa26 (.28 kernel from Debian repo) 
yesterday. Today, wanting to use the neo as a webradio receiver connected to 
the stereo, I noticed that eth0, the wlan device, is gone. (No it doesn't 
have another name, ifconfig -a only shows up usb0 and lo.)
Trying to check lspci, I got this:

d-a318:~# lspci
pcilib: Cannot open /proc/bus/pci
lspci: Cannot find any working access method.

Eeeh. Wtfomgbbq? :)
I have no idea where to check next, there seems to be really wrong 
with /proc/bus/pci (which comes from where?).
Any hints?

 What kernel is this?  I know you usually run something near HEAD?

Also please note that after each test call the phone opens a gprs
connection and sends a short status report to nagios monitoring system
which can then alert me if the phone is not responding to calls. This
GPRS connection lasts around 1-3 minutes and probably contributes to
the energy consumption.

www.opkg.org ‒ source code released!

2009-02-21 Thread Tobias Kündig
Dear Community,

For nearly two month there was no update from www.opkg.org. The reason 
for it is pretty simple: I had no time to develop anything for the 
website. At the moment there's a whole lot going on around here. 
However, I'm really pleased, that there are already 100+ packages in the 
database. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

But there are still some features needed, like a better comment system 
with email notifications, for example.

So it wondered what I could do to solve this problem. Finding a solution 
then was pretty simple: There are lots of great web developers out 
there, people who know a whole lot more than I do. So I decided to 
publish the opkg.org source code. This way _anyone_ can help developing 
new features for www.opkg.org. I'm sure there are some great developers 
with great ideas out there.

If you want to help developing www.opkg.org, head over to 
http://www.opkg.org/developer.html and get the latest snapshot.

If there are questions, please feel free to contact me.
I hope that this will help making www.opkg.org even better than it is 
today ;)!

Tobias

Argh. A week or so I always wondered why the wlan chip gets turned on

is turned off, therefore no wlan device. Dammit.

Re: OpenCellID (was OpenBmap logger (GSM positioning)])

2009-02-21 Thread Nick
Thomas,

I agree with you about the train and people in the train.
what about bad gps hdop,... ?

I agree your approach  will be probably enought for assited GPS.
(anyone knows the precision needed ?)

but I don't think this is the right one for the other services mentionned.

Thinking of a high quality my position service (google kind),
we will not achieve it not treating gps hdop, gps speed...

so to be constructive in order to merge our databases,
would you be ready to collect gps speed, gps (hvp)dop and make these 
info available
in your (very large) measures file ?

 From this, I could provide you with a new mapping manager that identify
the cells position calculated with gps (hvp)dop, gps speed when these 
values are available
the cells position calculated with no gps (hvp)dop, gps speed because 
these values are not available

We would have only one database with both quantity (the whole database)
and quality for some cells. (Hoping that the best quality,
would be available for all the cells in the future)

what do you think about it ?

regards,
Nick

Thomas Landspurg a écrit :


 2009/2/20 Nick realtimeb...@gmail.com mailto:realtimeb...@gmail.com

 Thomas,

 After trying to reach you a few times last year,
 i am really glad to have some news from you now.


   The easiest way is to use the email mentionned in the Web page! ;-)
  


 I am reponsible for the openBmap website. And yes, it would be a great
 thing to merge our projects !

 The number of logs you have is very impressive ! well done !

 My concern would be about the quality of your data .

 you still mention on the front page

 Note:If you want a professional CellID Database, I suggest you to
 go to
 Navizon
 who provides top services and databases.

 what do you mean ?



  Tihs mean that there are company that have created huge databases of 
 high quality by spendig a lot of money on it, and they make money by 
 selling these data. Navizon pays his users for this, and other are 
 throwing a lot of money on this too, by sending people doing measures, 
 or by buying operators database. That's exactly the same difference 
 between OpenStreetMap and Navteq/Teleatlas. OpenStreetMap is free, 
 provided by the community, but of a lower quality than their 
 commercial counterpart except on some specific area not covered by 
 these equivalents. Of course, the objective is to reach the same 
 quality, but this will take time.
  
  


 and after importing 800 000 of your gps points in january, I see that
 for instance
 gps speed,  gps hdop, gps pdop, gps vdop are not available
  (at least at the begining of this huge measures.txt file !),


 A bad pdop, vdop, hdop and i am positioned at 1 km from my real
 position ...
 What if i am in a high speed train at 300 km/h? or in plane ? (yes, it
 can work in planes...)



   Let's go back to the basics: the objective of these database if to 
 provied an positionning to create services using localisation on top 
 of this database. Let's take the sample of an high speed train: there 
 is high chances that all the sample will came from people in the train 
 itself, and not from the neighbour outside (train don't go at 300 km/h 
 in high density area). So this mean that the REAL position of the cell 
 will never be accuratly computed, which is not an issue, because the 
 only interesting information is the user position. So sampling mesures 
 even some errors is fine as long as it works fine to get user position.
   So the philosophy behing opencellid was to reach the 80/20 ratio: 
 acheiving the 80% of functionality will require only 20% of the time 
 needed to do these 100% functionality. So that's why we have a simple 
 and elegant API, that is used by different devices with different 
 capacities, while acheiving exactly this objective: providing an 
 accurate cell id positionning.



 In my opinion, considering the following services

 *** asisted gps
 *** cell id to google my position kind of service
 *** cell id to town name service



  the real questions are:
 what precision do we need for openmoko location service through
 gsm cell
 id ?
 what precision our possibly merged database would provide ?


 Assisted GPS does not require huge precision. I am not an expert, but 
 I would be curious to know what is the precision needed to get an 
 assisted GPS. Using triangulation is a different story, and this 
 obvisouly will work fine only in high density area, where you also 
 have high density cells. So again, there is a direct correlation 
 between the precision and the density of the area.
   Note also that OpenCellID use LAC (Local Area Code) to provide an 
 alternate positioning with a lower precision if a cell is not know, 
 but if the LAC is know. Typically other cells has been discovered in 
 the same area.
So once you get CellID positionning, you can use reverse geocoding

Well, your consumption is roughly double that of Mickey's... 10h is
worth 16% of his battery and 30% of yours.

I am sure something real is going on there but with the possibility of
very different GSM environments, where it has direct access to the
battery, I don't know how to come at it except to see how a GTA02 acts

I'm searching for something stable and suitable for a daily phone (my
needs are some calls and some trackings every day). Actually, my 2008.12
sometimes freezes so it is not so usable... Yes, I know that SHR
unstable pushes away the concepts of stable, usable and daily phone
but... I'll give it a try :D

Thanks,

 You should try FSO 5 or unstable SHR.
 
 With latest unstable SHR image, after 40 hours mostly suspended I had about 
 50% battery.
 
 battery life is improving a lot!

How about using speex compression? I recorded a few words with

arecord -f S16_LE -r 44100 a.wav

and ended up with a 1089580-byte file.

speexenc a.wav a.speex

reduced the size to only 78214 bytes and speexdec a.speex played it

Re: [Debian] No wlan device with 2.6.28-20090105.git69b2aa26

2009-02-21 Thread arne anka
 i tried that kernel a week ago and the wlan was not working so i just
 removed it and went back to 24...

well, wlan is a nice to have, not crucial -- but just for fun: i enabled  
wifi in opp and did
ifconfig eth0 up (which probably should be done automagically)
and eth0 was there,
iwlist eth scan
listed several aps.

 i thought the there was a reason why
 it wasn't listed in updates ;-)

i had some dim recollection of issues, but that they were solved by now.
what i see, though, are several messages about sysfs pathes not found,  
which surpises me slightly, since i understood ms5 was fully compatible  
with 2.6.28.

Re: yaml rule to stop suspending when using gps

2009-02-21 Thread Dylan Reilly
To my knowledge, there is no specific action available to the oevents
subsystem of frameworkd that would allow one to set up a rule in
rules.yaml (maybe I am wrong). However, newer frameworkd's have
resource requesting that will allow one to request CPU resource which
will stop frameworkd from suspending.

It is not hard to implement, especially in python. Take a look at code
in my updates to pythm (opkg.org) for an example. You will want
backend/backend.py. You could either implement this in the application
directly, or perhaps make a wrapper for it.

This all looks fine and dandy. But when I reboot (or pull the battery 
and stick that in again), all I see are the errors I already described. 
The CPU 0 stall, the EEC errors, and so on.

I really feel that Qi was not a good idea. At least, with u-boot as it 
was, I had a reasonably good phone using SHR. I also have the uneasy 
feeling that there is no undo from Qi, or am I wrong?

[FSO] Any luck with bluetooth headsets?

2009-02-21 Thread Simon Kagstrom
Hi!

I'm trying to get my bluetooth headset to work for calls on the
freerunner. I have mixed results so far, literally - the other end can
hear my voice but I hear nothing.


I've created a Wiki page with a howto on

  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Bluetooth_headset

which will give you a headset with static noise (good start, right!).
After that I've tried to follow these pages

  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo1973_Audio_Subsystem
  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystem

and have most luck with GSMBLUETOOTH.txt, which gives me good outgoing
sound. After the steps on my wiki page I do this to setup the bluetooth
connection after the call has been answered:

  alsactl restore 0 -f GSMBLUETOOTH.txt
  ./bluetooth_pcm

but from here I'm lost. I'm running FSO milestone 5 - have anyone else
got this working and if so, what did you do?

 I need some help in understanding this issue. If there are known to be

   I bought an 8 GB speed class 4 SanDisk card marked 0732502849DZG (in very
small letters - bring a magnifying glass to the shop). It came bundled with
a combined MicroSDHC and M2 card reader with USB connector. I've had the
card for about two months with a Debian installation and it works fine with
u-boot (as shipped in NOR and NAND flash) and kernel versions 2.6.24 and
andy-tracking 2.6.28. No boot parameters required.

   There were two different SanDisk packages of an 8 GB card and a USB card
reader I could choose from. According to the salesman the differences were
only in the packaging. But anyway, the one I bought has 80-13-02494 printed
at the bottom of each page of the user guide. The barcode on the back of the
package reads 6 1965904025 3 with SDSDQR-8192-E12M printed above it and

automatic answer a Call and play a wav/ogg/mp3 like an answer-machine?

2009-02-21 Thread Hans-Martin
Hi all,

the subject says it, so is it possible?

I think of a profile-based 'phone/sms-firewall', playing back selfmade 
wav-files to different callers. So you can easy switch into the 
meeting-profile when you have a meeting, or can switch to a night-profile, 
where only special callers will come through...

HMB

Re: Annuncing new Project - Intone mplayer frontend

2009-02-21 Thread Stefan Monnier
 If you use the MPD backend, it works very efficiently (probably the
 same as what you see with your mplayer+intone).  The other advantage
 of MPD is that you can control it from anywhere .
   Sure. :-) I haven't used MPD. But I'm more looking at using the phone as a
 standalone music player (while travelling etc).

MPD+pythm works just fine as a standalone music player as well,
of course.

   I have no intentions of belittling pythm or any other player (who all
 probably fit somewhere in the app landscape).

Neither did I want to belittle your work.  Just pointing out that your
original motivation could have been addressed without reinventing the
wheel.  Maybe your wheel is really much better, but from what I've seen
in the past, we have too many toyish music players, so it would be
better to improve existing ones than to make yet-another-one.

Re: [Debian] No wlan device with 2.6.28-20090105.git69b2aa26

 I installed kernel 2.6.28-20090105.git69b2aa26 (.28 kernel from Debian  
 repo)
 how did you get it?
 apt-get dist-upgrade does not list another kernel (but 2.6.24).

AFAIK the two kernels are in different packages, not in different
versions of the same package.  And I haven't found a virtual package
which I could install (and which would have pointer to the 2.6.24
kernel before and could later be changed to point to 2.6.28).

[Debian] Etk gui?

2009-02-21 Thread Marcel
G'evening,

I'd at least like to try to build an Etk gui for Pythm. Problem: I have 
Debian running and don't really want to change that, so I'm wondering if 
there are e17 widget lib(s) available for it. The minimal etk gui example 
from the wiki doesn't work since the python module etk is missing.
Zhone doesn't seem to be a usable example for this case since it does all its 
gui using custom graphics (and is not too clearly arranged...).

Does anyone have a hint or suggestions?

to install programs you can either:
*download it on your host pc, scp it to the freerunner and install it
*connect the FR to the internet (usb/wifi/bluetooth...) and opkg
install something
*connect the FR to the internet and use the graphical UI that is
included in some distro's like 2008.x

a very easy way is to set up usb networking

Introducing CellHunter

2009-02-21 Thread Sebastian Hammerl
Hi,

now I find the time to post on the community mailinglist and like to
(already mentioned here) introduce myself and CellHunter.

I am student right now and got together with some friends and imagined
that we could have fun with cellids and games based on there cells. But
for this we need a database to work on and so i started the project
CellHunter [1].

CellHunter is a game where you collect cellids together with the gps
position you received this cell. You are working in teams and get points
for each cell you submit. The score for the submitted cell depends on
the type of cell if it is already known or brand new. More about the
point system on the homepage [2].

Right know the CellHunter database contains about 45 entries with
~9000 unique cells. 35 teams active and we get new cells everyday.

I know that there a several other cell databases and i contacted
opencellid two days ago and will contribute. Others are welcome to
contact me.

The license of the data is discussed at the moment, i think it will be
cc-by-sa but because this project is very new and grows faster than i
expected i just want to check available licenses and their pros and cons.

The idea to create a database of cells is not new but to combine it with
a game is something that motivates people to contribute.

Here are some technical details about CellHunter:
- offline and online logging of cells
- logging of the main and up to 6 neighbourcells your mobile phone sees
- statistcs displayed right on your freerunner
- data displayable in google maps and osm
- browsing osm cell map with dynamically loaded cell locations
- export as kml / csv of the whole db or by team
- teams of submitters with infotext about the group on the homepage
- gui availabe in german and english

Most of the already collected cells are located in germany and i would
like to see some other countries to start their teams and collect
points. You get ready to run FSO and debian packages on the homepage [2].

If you have any ideas or suggestions i would like to hear them. For
german users: we discuss cellhunter at the freeyourphone forums [3]

Greetings, Sebastian

  Well, I switched. And here are the problems :-
 1. I could get elementary set up for compiling after about 4 hrs of effort
(getting stuff from the svn, compiling all the libraries etc) on my PC.
 2. The program is up and running on the PC, but now I realise that there
are no dev versions of elementary and its dependencies on FSO. SHR and
openmoko are using older (yet different) versions. Finally got some ipk's
from angstrom - but the linker is giving me errors about 
 libelementary.so: undefined reference to `ecore_evas_object_associate'
 libelementary.so: undefined reference to `ecore_evas_object_associate_get'
 libelementary.so: undefined reference to
`ecore_evas_software_wince_gdi_new'
 And this after another day of trying to get the cross-compile environment
for elementary. The only thing left is to get the libraries from svn into
the environment - only then things might not work on the phone.
  For eg - the svn version has sliders and genlists. While the one on the
phone doesn't.
 3. So - I'm back to GTK for now. Need to get some more work done before I
can get back to elementary.

  @ anyone at FSO - Can we have some development libraries for elementary
too?

[QtExtended] Report on 4.4.3 src on FSO

2009-02-21 Thread Tomas Riveros Schober
Hello list!
as some might have noticed, I've been struggling with my efforts to 
build QtExtended on FSO as specified on mwester's page[1]. Today I've 
been successful on building the whole pack of stuff and run it on my 
neo. So here's my report to whoever is interested (skip down to just 
check out what works and what doesn't):

Built on Ubuntu 8.04, using backported Qt.

First thing I built was FSO, but since fso-testing was not compiling 
(some packages were missing from the src repos), i decided to compile 
fso-m5. All was good (takes a long time!!).
So i built the images, then built the nox version and then the 
toolchain. All was good.
To build QtExtended was another story. No matter what I did, it would 
always complain about not finding libdbus-1 when using FSO's toolchain. 
I tried all the pkg-config wizardry I could come up with but nothing 
worked in the end, so I ended up compiling QtE using nokia's toolchain.
If anyone got any tips on how to compile QtE using FSO's toolchain, I'd 
love to know them.
So after everything was built I flashed the whole pack into the phone 
and installed QtE as mwester's instructions (thanks!), only to realize 
that 2.6.28 is terribly supported under QtE, and would kill the screen 
upon resume from suspend, and also, most thing would freeze up and just 
die a painful death.

Then I flashed a 2.6.24 kernel from openmoko's daily build[2], together 
with the modules and console image, then installed QtE again and bam! 
all was working. This is what I've tested so far:

working good:
suspend and resume
power management changes (which didn't work properly on 4.4.2)
UI speed (way better than 4.4.2)
boot speed (boots in under a minute in my phone)
GSM (it unregistered once, maybe a one-time issue), but phone quality is 
superb, and it never happened again.

not working so good:
Wifi (can register, but won't update /etc/resolv.conf so no dns, and it 
will stop working after a suspend, to never come back)

did not test yet:
GPRS (however, it was working perfectly in 4.4.2 so I assume this is 
still the case)
GPS
Bluetooth (same as gprs, was fine before)

so, if anyone was thinking about compiling 4.4.3 snapshots to get better 
networking...well, I cannot say I reccomend it since it did not fix the 
dns issues that 4.4.2 has, but it is indeed way speedier.
If anyone wants to try it, I can upload the whole set of images 
somewhere, or maybe a full backup of my phone so people can try it for 
themselves (just please notice that this is highly experimental and 
probably not very well built)

hope I didn't bore you with this lengthy post.

Re: Introducing CellHunter

2009-02-21 Thread Robin Paulson
2009/2/22 Sebastian Hammerl list-openm...@omoco.de:
 now I find the time to post on the community mailinglist and like to
 (already mentioned here) introduce myself and CellHunter.

 I am student right now and got together with some friends and imagined
 that we could have fun with cellids and games based on there cells. But
 for this we need a database to work on and so i started the project
 CellHunter [1].

 CellHunter is a game where you collect cellids together with the gps
 position you received this cell. You are working in teams and get points
 for each cell you submit. The score for the submitted cell depends on
 the type of cell if it is already known or brand new. More about the
 point system on the homepage [2].

 Right know the CellHunter database contains about 45 entries with
 ~9000 unique cells. 35 teams active and we get new cells everyday.

 I know that there a several other cell databases and i contacted
 opencellid two days ago and will contribute. Others are welcome to
 contact me.

 The license of the data is discussed at the moment, i think it will be
 cc-by-sa but because this project is very new and grows faster than i
 expected i just want to check available licenses and their pros and cons.

Hi Sebastian,
good to hear you're working on this project. i've been working on
openstreetmap.org, a conceptually similar project, for a couple of
years now - they are currently in the process of transitioning from
cc-by-sa to a new license, specifically designed for databases, with
the help of a lawyer or two. their theory is that cc is more for
creative content, which is not really applicable to osm; this may be
useful for your project too. more info here:

Re: (Qi) Qi or bust, or: what do I do wrong?

2009-02-21 Thread Paul

 You're wrong :)

 I installed Qi once, but reflashing u-boot on top of it worked just fine

Sometimes it is good to be wrong... :-)
Glad to know there's a way back!

 What do I do wrong here?


 Nothing wrong with the flashing, as far as I can tell.

 What do you have on the SD card?
 Qi tries to boot kernels from the the first three partitions on SD 
 first...

On the SD-card there's not much. A few directories with small stuff.
I read on the wiki that Qi first tries to boot from the first 3 
partitions on the card and after that from flash memory. It's the latter 
that does not seem to work quite that well, at least on my FR.

When I feel adventurous again (and I have more time again), I may play 
with it some more.

Thanks!
Paul

Re: [Debian] Etk gui?

2009-02-21 Thread Nikita V. Youshchenko
 Am Saturday 21 February 2009 22:53:27 schrieben Sie:
  G'evening,
 
  I'd at least like to try to build an Etk gui for Pythm. Problem: I
  have Debian running and don't really want to change that, so I'm
  wondering if there are e17 widget lib(s) available for it. The
  minimal etk gui example from the wiki doesn't work since the python
  module etk is missing. Zhone doesn't seem to be a usable example for
  this case since it does all its gui using custom graphics (and is not
  too clearly arranged...).
 
  Does anyone have a hint or suggestions?

 I hereby kind of broaden my question: Is there some python-etk package
 available for Debian at all?

Not yet. Stay tuned :)
