RE: Car Mode Application...
This project looks to be exactly what I need to integrate with! It even takes commands over dbus! Well that sounds like a good starting point. Does anyone know if the media player currently implemented takes start/stop commands from dbus? If not (which im assuming from the state it was in last time I tried it on my Neo 1973 probably not) is it hard to get pulseaudio to play music atm? I havent messed with it much. -Dan Staley From: Marco Trevisan (Treviño) [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 2:24 PM To: community@lists.openmoko.org Subject: Re: Car Mode Application... ramsesoriginal wrote: Sounds all pretty intresting.

RE: Car Mode Application...
Oh I'm not looking to replace TangoGPS. I've been following his project since he first released it on my Neo, and I've been very impressed. However, I dont believe (correct me if I'm wrong Marcus) that it does directions or has a way for me to easily interface with it in another application. The app I'm looking to work on will not have anywhere near the overall amount of GPS features that TangoGPS has. Navit will better integrate into what I'm looking at doing because of the dbus-interface interaction and it's ability to be integrated into other programs. -Dan Staley From: Kosa [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, May 27, 2008 4:27 PM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: Car Mode Application...

RE: Car Mode Application...
Bluetooth headset is not bad. It's certainly still useable. Hmmmso it isnt advised to use the headset jack and the external speakers at the same timeI'm wondering, do all sounds get routed to the headset device when it is plugged in? If it doesnt do this, surely we can configure pulseaudio to? As for the FM transmitter, I was just going have something like this: http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=enrls=com.microsoft:en-usq=FM+transmitterum=1cid=8369282666750210988 So ideally, I'm going to have the car charger plugged into the usb port, the FM transmitter plugged into the headphone jack, a GPS antenna connected to the antenna port, and a bluetooth headset paired with it via bluetooth. Haha! It's good to hear there are no feasable problems initially. I'm finishing up a different project I'm working on right now, and will start drawing up code flow diagrams etc soon. One question I still have though: Is it possible to catch the incoming call signal from the GSM modem before the dialer app gets it, and handle all the call stuff in my app? Will I need to rework all of the call taking code? Or is there an interface into the current call taking code that I can talk to, possibly over dbus? -Dan Staley From: Joerg Reisenweber [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2008 12:53 AM To: community@lists.openmoko.org Cc: Staley, Daniel L Subject: Re: Car Mode Application...

If accept is pressed, I want the phone to go into speakerphone mode, but still to route the audio to the car speakers. I'm wondering if it would be possible to cancel out the repeating of the caller's audio back into the microphone? I'm not up to date on my noise cancellation techniques ;). If this doesnt seem plausable, just going into speakerphone mode, or talking through a bluetooth headset will be acceptable. I think there's a decent amount of feedback killing in the GSM-module, like in every cellphone (just has to be setup correctly), as well as in your GSM-provider's gateway. Furthermore you may preprocess the sound prior to routing it to the GSM-module, by some echo-suppressor/echo-canceler. But I think you won't be happy with the built-in mic, for usage far from speaker in a noisy car. Probably a BT-headset is the better solution. There are BT-speakermic-devices for integration in your seat's head-support, probably worth to try. (just a note: you must not use Freerunner speaker and headset connector concurrently. At least using the speaker will produce unpredictable volume on left ear channel of wired headset. Sorry I was to late to stop this for GTA02 - wonder about ringtones :-/ When I forget to pull out the headphones when throwing FR on the table; or when I connect FR to my stereo to play music and a call comes in...) The rest sounds good to me. Just curious about the FM-connection to your car-radio...

I really like the paroli look/interface! It is simple, responsive, and the contrast makes it easy to see. 2.) If you rotate the screen orientation, the main menu for paroli does not resize well. Other parts, (the dialer for instance) work fine rotated though. 3.) This is a big one for me: When someone sends me a text message, the number does not get looked up in the addressbook. The lookup works fine when someone calls me, but not when an sms comes in. I just see the number instead of the name. 4.) The people page needs to jump to the first contact that starts with a letter typed. I have hundreds of contacts, and scrolling through them to find someone is a royal pain.

However, one that stumped me was the Canola package that was recently ported over. Whenever it is run on om2009, enlightenment constantly segfaults. If you tell it to recover, it segfaults again. Canola was running fine on SHR. What changed between the two distros? Is SHR running a newer version of enlightenment? Has anyone been able to get Canola running on om2009? (I'm running the latest 2009 unstable btw) Thanks, -Dan Staley ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
RE: [om2009] Canola with om2009-u
Everything went great! I sent it off on a Wednesday afternoon, it got there on Friday, and exactly 2 weeks later it was sitting on my doorstep waiting for me to play with it, with an extra battery and Android installed! I have a full body invisible shield on my freerunner, and it came back without any problems. Thanks to SDG and Koolu for providing the fix! But back on topic ;) Does anyone know where enlightenment stores it's log files or messages when it segfaults? I'd love to get Canola running on om2009 -Dan Staley From: Steve 'dillo Okay (Roadknight Mobility Labs) [armad...@gothpunk.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 11:23 AM To: community@lists.openmoko.org Subject: Re: [om2009] Canola with om2009-u From: Staley, Daniel L dlst...@uky.edu Date: July 7, 2009 2:25:58 PM PDT To: community@lists.openmoko.org community@lists.openmoko.org Subject: [om2009] Canola with om2009-u Reply-To: List for Openmoko community discussion community@lists.openmoko.org I recently got my freerunner back from SDG systems, complete with a buzz fix!

RE: Question about bluetooth capability
I havent tried it, so I could be wrongbut as far as I know since it is operating on the bluez stack it should be able to connect to up to 7 devices at once. Like I said, I havent tried any more than one thoughif I get a chance later I'll try out connecting to a couple of wiimotes and see what happens. -Dan Staley From: Alton Patrick [hapatr...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, July 08, 2009 9:54 AM To: community@lists.openmoko.org Subject: Question about bluetooth capability I just found out about the Neo Freerunner, and we are considering using it in a project where I work. I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how many separate bluetooth devices it can communicate with at once. For the application we're working on, it would need to handle at least 2 bluetooth INS units at the same time.

RE: replacement opkg.org (was Re: Opkg.org?! (was: Re: [SHR-...))
Just to throw in my two centsI think the look and feel of opkg.org is great. I think whoever designed the page did a very nice job. However, I will agree that we need something to tell what Distro they have been tested on, and perhaps even a separate packagelist / repo created for each distro based on what distros they are said to work on. Perhaps the owner of opkg.org would let someone else log onto the server and make these changes? It would really be a shame to just create a replacement of itlike I said, the site layout is really pretty nice. -Dan Staley From: Marcel [tan...@googlemail.com] Sent: Thursday, July 09, 2009 9:23 AM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: replacement opkg.org (was Re: Opkg.org?!

That's the difference you see between extra-cap units and not. Supposedly you have a capless unit and is using too much amplification for the earpiece in the codec. (FYI nobody knows for sure and there's no way to know which units have those stupid caps and which do not. Looks like all A7 units have them, as probably most of A5; my A6 doesn't) Please, could you explain or provide a link about the difference between a cap and a capless Neo? I think it's the first time I hear about it... Nobody can explain that :) Basically it's assumed that some units have 1uF caps in place of R3004/R3005 (which should be 0R). -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercer...@gmail.commailto:fercer...@gmail.com ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.orgmailto:community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

RE: Intone 0.60 Almost Stable ;-)
AlrightI figured out how to get intone to work with my bluetooth headset! I have to start a song, pause it and then start it again...but thats alright. All my keys worked great (same key codes as other poster) Occasionally I have problems with the play/pause...but it doesnt look like mine is from the code being sent twice (intone doesnt report it twice anyway). It looks to me like the error occurs after I used the previous key, and then tried the play/pause key. When that happened intone gui shows on the play/pause toggle button a play button (when it should be a pause) and just keeps on playing the song. I got time outputs of: (not sure what these are...) time - 1248187227.222462 time - 3.214989 time - 115.908660 I occasionally get a message from intone that says Cannot stream to bluetooth! and it cuts out and switches back to the internal speaker. I ran mplayer from the command line and saw that mplayer actually outputs: [AO_ALSA] Trying to reset soundcard. [AO_ALSA] Write error: Broken pipe 16.4% (or whatever percent of the song its on) I can make the pipe break pretty regularly when I touch the screen...but if i dont touch anything it works fine... (it looks like this is alleviated some if I set mplayer's nice level lower...) Hope this helps! And thanks for the great work! It is already very usuable with my bluetooth headset! -Dan Staley From: Dan Staley [dlst...@uky.edu] Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2009 1:22 AM To: List for Openmoko community discussion Subject: Re: Intone 0.60 Almost Stable ;-) Okay, I paired my A2DP headset (Lubix UBHS-NC1 ...from woot a couple of weeks ago) And I can get mplayer from the command line to play music to the headset (Though I have to play once, ctrl-c, then play again to get it to work...it seems like the headset needs something to wake it up before it will accept the stream...and then after a bit of nothing streaming, it times back out and I have to do a fake run of mplayer again) It sounds great though when its working! However, I cant figure out how to get it to play to the headset from intone. Is there something you have to pass it to go into bluetooth mode? I know my commands are getting recognized from the headset to the moko when I press them because the screen turns onwould love to help by submitting more codes! -Dan Staley On Mon, 2009-07-20 at 19:55 -0400, The Digital Pioneer wrote: An offtopic question: Do you have a recommendation for a good bluetooth headset?
