I think those messages are from the wireless sd socket no from the glamo one

 Why is the card removed?

what is the output of cat /proc/partitions

 How can I solve it?

I am used to test the presence of the sd card in u-boot with mmcinit as in my

 The message 'Your storage is full' is being displayed for me each time

 _ANY_ sms in the messages app. There is _nothing_ displayed.

 My friend says she's been able to delete them by inserting the sim into
 her Motorola and deleting them by hand there.

 What's the problem here? What app works with the sim card? Does the gsm
 modem work with it so it is broken or is it just a modem?

Re: [Om2009] a community effort

2009-05-18 Thread Michael Pilgermann
Good news to hear about all the progress on opimd.

We have been working on a PIM synchronization tool named PISI for a while. I 
think, with all the progress here we should start integrating it with opimd; 
for now mainly contacts and calendar information.

Where could I find more information about the possible APIs? I guess, the best 
way would be to access the persistence backend directly; should the SQLite 
backend be the preferred one here? If, where could I get more information from 
about it ... and if not; which way - do you think - should be the preferred one 
to access / add / modify pim information in opimd.

Any source of information besides this one here 
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Opimd)?

Thx in advance for any comments; greetings
Mike

 understand everything, but now, after fixing Contacts domain, I think
 I can give you some useful knowledge :) I have also few nice and
 helpful python test scrips. I'm going to post them on maillist soon.
 
 Right now we have working Contacts domain with three backends: SIM,
 CSV and SQLite. Now I'm going to work on Messages domain, which ATM
 can only read from SIM backend.
 
 People who helped me to fix opimd: Heinervdm (SQLite backend),
 mirko-paroli (adding items with SIM backend) and mrmoku (opimd feeded
 SHR GUI:[ libframeworkd-phonegui-elf2). I would like to see also you
 on this list! :)

  Hey there,
 
  A lot has happened over the past couple of months, but most important in
  my mind has been getting OM2009 out into
  the hands of the community. When we set the very limited goals of OM2009
we had two goals in mind:
 
  1. Give those members of the community who only wanted a daily phone, a
  distro they could use
  2. Introduce technology that would allow the community to come together
  and improve on these basics
 
  Community interaction, open development and user driven decision making
  are at the core of Om2009.
 
  Going forward this will be an effort with the community for the
 community.
  The help and support I have gotten from the community over the past
  couple of days and weeks has been remarkable and I can see things
  starting to move and slowly coming together. We need more of this!
 
  I invite you to join the effort to make om2009 with paroli the best
  Om-labeled distribution for the Freerunner.
 
  How can you help?
 
  Test the distro, let us know about bugs you find, or even fix them and
  send us patches.
 
  Tell us about your experiences using om2009, what should we change,
  where can we improve?
 
  Paroli has come a long way but it still needs a lot of love and
  optimizing, so if you are into python or efl, check out the code from
  git.paroli.org, join #paroli on irc and let's get crackin'. There is
  lots of things to do, opimd needs to be integrated and improved, the UI
  needs polishing, overall speed can be increased etc etc
 
  More into Chat and email? Feel like writing a jabber/irc/xxx or email
  client that really fits the screen? Or do you know of one? Let's hear
  about it.
 
  See a list of proposals on:
  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om_2009_get_active
  and
  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Paroli-issues
 
  This device has a lot of potential and we are so close to reaching the
  far corners, the kernel is in good shape, the framework is doing great
  and telephony apps such as paroli or the shr suite are steadily
 improving.
 
  So, get your Freerunner in shape again. Flash it with a nice current
  distro and let it do what it was meant to do :)
 
  Let's make Om2009 a community product, something all of us can be proud
  of and say we did this.

[Om2009] comments about om2009

2009-05-18 Thread Aapo Rantalainen
Hi, I just flashed Om2009 on Freerunner and there comes my first
thoughts about it:

Parolis titles are not intuitive. I didn't realize what I/O means
until I read all manuals (input-output=log)

Paroli profile should not be default. Freerunner isn't just a phone,
so it is weird that default profile is 'simple-phone-theme'.  Now all
users are forced to first change profile when flash Om2009.

So I first changed profile and surprised happily that there are
terminal (and nano) pre-installed, so I got ssh over wlan working
without any hassling with usb. But then my connection disconnected
because phone suspended. I turn suspending off in illumes
wrench-settings, but it doesn't help because paroli has own settings
and own suspend time.

Why there are old version of vala-terminal? I do not know how to sort
in order version numbers containing git. Version on
openmoko.org/repository is the 'tag 1.1.1' on
http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=vala-terminal.git and version on
opkg.org is newer but named 1.1.1-r0.3 (And 1.1.1-r0.4 is coming). But
installing package from opkg.org doesn't success.

#workaround:
wget vala-terminal_1.1.1-r0.3_armv4t.opk
ar x vala-terminal_1.1.1-r0.3_armv4t.opk
gunzip data.tar.gz
tar -xvf data.tar
mv usr/bin/vala-terminal /usr/bin/


Does somebody really use alternative desktops? I can't imagine
situation when they are needed. But maybe these buttons can be used to
change folder in home view? Btw: do you know what is most popular
(most downloaded) package in opkg.org? It is sortdesk, which emulates
folders in home view. I could be proud of it, but I think it should be
builtin in window manager. (Or which component is handling desktop) Is
somebody working with that already?

When I try to close home (just for testing will it crash) It draws
vertical line on middle of screen.

New Life in Openmoko Phones

2009-05-18 Thread Wolfgang Spraul
Hi everybody,
(sorry for the cross-posting, I thought spreading the word about 
gta02-core and new stuff from Openmoko was worth it...)

Today Openmoko released additional pieces of documentation about 
Freerunner hardware: board outline, footprints and netlist.
Same as all other releases before - under Creative Commons Share-Alike 
license.
Available at:
http://downloads.openmoko.org/developer/schematics/GTA02/gta02_outline_footprints_netlist.tar.bz2

What is this and who is it for?
Well, definitely not for end users, not for software developers, not 
even the typical kernel hacker.
The release contains cryptic text files containing data points about our 
hardware - basically additional information complementing our 
PDF-formatted schematics release last year.

The reason we released this is to support an exiting new project that 
has emerged over the last few weeks - gta02-core.
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gta02-core
gta02-core is a community project to create a new hardware revision of 
the gta02 hardware
They chose a 100% GPL layout tool, KiCAD 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicad), which uses only text-based files 
hence they can be checked into typical revision control systems. Since 
they are text, they are also 'scriptable', i.e. scripts can extract and 
process data from the layout files.
Werner and Dave Ball got it rolling, and are currently working on the 
re-layout of gta02 (http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/browser/trunk/gta02-core).

The way I see gta02-core is that it opens up a path to new, fully open 
phone hardware.
For the future of the software we are all working on right now - whether 
it's the kernel, FSO, Paroli/Ophonekit, etc., we either need to design 
new fully open hardware specifically for it, or we need to find ways to 
hack into phones that are 'closed' by default (either accidentally or on 
purpose).
gta02-core focuses on the first option, and I hope will receive more 
attention from the community, and definitely from Openmoko the company. 
The path is long, even KiCAD itself may need improvements, but if a few 
more people get interested and join, we may have new fully open phone 
hardware in 6-12 months. No worries, in all this time of course the 
Freerunners will remain available (we have enough in stock and are ready 
for new production runs if necessary), and hopefully they continue to be 
an interesting development platform for mobile free software projects.

Right now, if you want to join the revolution in open hardware 
development, read the gta02-core wiki page carefully 
(http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gta02-core), and join the mailing list 
(slightly confusingly named gta03 :-)) at 
http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/gta03
Then see where you can contribute - it's a wide open field with many 
possible tasks, no matter which background you are coming from.
I'll see what I can do.
Best Regards,
Wolfgang

Francesc,
to be honest - I am not aware of any client. And, I am not too sure,
which Calendar client is the first one, that would need to be supported
by PISI.
I would aim for opimd support over the next weeks as I guess, this will
be the plattform to be used in this area.
Any comment / objection? I would be happy to get some more input for
these things ...

much appreciated. I don't understand nor agree to all stated goals,
however. If you have something that I could quickly read to get the
rationale for the various proposed changes, I'd be really glad to go
and read that.

 They chose a 100% GPL layout tool, KiCAD 
 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kicad), which uses only text-based files 

This sounds good, but you seem to require a certain minimum version of
Kicad, right? Checking out from OM and running Lenny's Kicad produced
less-than-satisfactory results... Either the repo is broken, or the
software is. Some clarification would be nice to have!

With these files, we'll be able to make a mechanically accurate

For this you have the actual GTA02,
I'm not an expert at all, but keep things simply is always a good Idea

but all the learning done in the way of do this simply phone can
help to start a more complicated design, even with gyroscopes,
compass, a full kitchen and swimming pool if it fit the case, but now
I agree in do this a simple but powerful as they can,  and even if

Community-driven redesign / new theme for Paroli

2009-05-18 Thread Risto H. Kurppa
Hi my fellow Freerunnerians!

BACKGROUND
#
OM2009 [1] and Paroli [2] (as well as opimd, FSO, Enlightenment and
all apps :) are under heavy development. For those who have tried
OM2009 (latest image is testing3, released about 10 days ago) with
Paroli have had to spend some minutes playing around with it to learn
how it works: I guess most of us tried the I/O menu [3] first and get
to a screen that only has a button 'edit' and that's it [4] [5].

I really respect the work that Mirko is doing with Paroli. I don't
understand everything what's being said but Paroli is told to be
easily extendable (.py plugins) to do almost anything. It can run on
multiple devices and distros (Currently OM2009 and SHR, Debian to come
with the new elementary or something..). At the moment it's already a
working phone application - it has passed the high standards of long
call to my mum, even overseas :). So I really see it worth
contributing to with all the skills we have.

WHAT?
##
To give Paroli an extra boost I suggest that we create an alternative
theme for Paroli.  The one Mirko  OM are writing will work fine but
it really wouldn't hurt to see some new themes. I'm sure there are
professional designers and user experts around who could use some of
the skills they have and this way also help OM: by making more people
interested in using  developing Paroli (at least I first check the
'Screenshots' page of a new F/LOSS app I find and often judge based on
what I see :)

WHO  HOW?
###
I don't know exactly how doable it is. As far as I know, it's possible
to create themes for Paroli. I don't know what parts can be changed or
how to do it but I believe that if people are interested, it'll all
come out nicely: I'm sure someone here knows the good old penpaper
thing (or GIMP or Inkscape :) to design a GUI for Paroli. We add some
user experience skills to give it the usability touch. I'm also sure
there are people here who know enough about themes and python to
implement the template. Maybe we even have people around who can write
us a theme switcher?

Creating a theme must not be that hard if it's well supported in
Paroli so I really believe we can do it - together. If you know
anything about design, themes or Paroli please share it with us in
this thread to encourage others.

Let's start the discussion here. As soon as something comes up, let's
add it here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Paroli-themes - let your
imagination flow and create mockups to be shared!

Enjoy your freedom!!

ps. some thoughts I have right now:
* SMS writing in landscape mode: one small (but readable) line for
text and HUGE keyboard to be used with your fingers while walking

Is the second accelerometer genuinely useful? IIRC due to the small distance 
between the accels it can only be used to measure large angular accelerations, 
and then only on two axes. It might be useful to replace the accel with a 3 
axis gyro or magnetometer though.

And some way (another dbus signal) which apps (mokomaze) can use to disable 
screen rotation when they're running - it would be good for the active call 
(part of the) program to use this otherwise you never know what button you're 
pressing.

 For this you have the actual GTA02,
 I'm not an expert at all, but keep things simply is always a good Idea
 , and as they sayd is not pretended to have a production ready phone,
 but all the learning done in the way of do this simply phone can
 help to start a more complicated design, even with gyroscopes,
 compass, a full kitchen and swimming pool if it fit the case, but now
 I agree in do this a simple but powerful as they can,  and even if
 they finish with something looks like this[1]   but with functional
 GPS/WIFI/BT/GPRS/CIR/SIR/USB will worth the effort
   
For me, I think you've hit the nail on the head.  We're trying something 
new with gta02-core, and by working on the small changes we've proposed 
we can focus on the tools that we use, the organisation of individual 
contributors and the stages we need to go through to get functional 
hardware.  Doing gta02-core means that we should be able to move forward 
fairly rapidly and shake out any problems as we go.  For that aim, the 
specific changes we make are almost arbitrary - and as stated on the 
wiki we don't expect this to turn into production hardware.

My hope is certainly that we'll be in a position to design a more 
interesting device once we've finished with gta02-core, having 
established a hardware community and process for making those design 
decisions.  We'll also be in a better position to discuss part 
availability with suppliers (or project sponsors), if we've demonstrated 
our ability to 'create' as a community.

There's definitely plenty to do, so it would be great to see anyone 
interested in helping with hardware construction or review on the gta03 
list.

 This sounds good, but you seem to require a certain minimum version of
 Kicad, right? Checking out from OM and running Lenny's Kicad produced
 less-than-satisfactory results... Either the repo is broken, or the
 software is. Some clarification would be nice to have!
   

I'm currently using 20080825 (latest ubuntu package), and Werner is on 
the svn bleeding edge - both seem to work with the current repo.  It's 
early days, and we are still experimenting with KiCad to work out how 
best to use it collaboratively - so there may be things we need to change.

Come over to the gta03 mailing list and we'll try to help with the 
specific problems you're having.

Pietro m0nt0 Montorfano wrote:
 Hi, bored loosing some calls and always need to periodically check
 pyphenlog i wrote a really simple apps that warn me if one or more call
 are lost.

Few days ago after that Pietro posted this app I hacked around its code
adding two main functionalities I needed:
 1) Vibrating/Sound [following the preferences] notifications every X
seconds (120 by default) if the phone is waked-up [1]
 2) Vibrating/Sound [following the preferences] notifications every X
minutes (15 by default) if the phone is sleeping [2].

While the first one is quite easy to add (It only needed an ecore timer)
the second one uses a workaround and ATD to work.
I've explained a little how it works in my commit at [2], but basically
it adds a new rtc-timer every 15 seconds and if the phone has been
resumed by ATD and if there's a notification to perform, then it plays a
vibration/sound and suspends again.

I've waited some days to post this on the list, because I wanted to test
it better, however I figure that the only way to fix the known issues of
the (2) feature (again, see [2]) is to patch the kernel to save in a
sysfile the latest resume time.

I've made this only as a proof-of-concept since I wanted this to be
implemented in the FSO correctly; I figure that this is the only way to
perform such notifications when the phone is suspended.

Any feedback? Please post :P

[debian] doom accel/touch not working right?

2009-05-18 Thread Fox Mulder
Hi,

today i tried again opendoom for freerunner from Scott Carlson and it
worked much more than it does a few months earlier. Maybe because i use
xserver-xglamo and not fbdev at the moment.
First i had to modify the /usr/games/dm startscript to [1] and it worked
in landscape mode with a resolution of 240x320. But my first problem was
that the touchscreen buttons seems not to work as expected. Only the
menu button in the upper right always work. The up/down/enter
buttons within the menu only seem to work sometimes. When i touch
everywhere around sometimes one of these buttons seems to be touched.

After a wild touching session i got a new game started but the
accelerometer inputs seems to be broken within doom. I can now touch the
menu und fire button which worked but no matter how i rotate my neo the
player never even moves a bit.

I'm using a recent 2.6.29 kernel from andy-tracking and the
accelerometers work in mokomaze or acceleroids, so they seem to be ok.

I hope Scott you could modify your opendoom version so it works again
with accels? :)

Or maybe someone else know what to change in the sourcecode to get it going.

Ciao,
 Rainer

Hello Ali,
  It was sent on or Twitter stream yesterday, I meant to leave an message here
but did not get around to it until just now.  Thanks for posting about it.

How did it sound, we had some problems with the Skype connection from Taiwan.

Hope you enjoyed the netcast, it was fun doing the interview.
