It's not exactly new. ipkg was developed for linux on iPaq because dpkg/apt was thought to be too resource hungry for such a constrained device. If you look at the workarounds applied to fit debian into NAND on the Freerunner you will see why. Purging package metadata comes just after purging unnecessary locales in the space saving measures. opkg is a contnuation of ipkg which IIRC stopped being maintained. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: messed everything mixing repositories?
i've just noticed that, sorry.. i can find lots of images, just 2007.2 not. sad because it was working for me and i like it a lot more than the newer, slower and battery hungry 2008.10. i've seen non official images here: http://buildhost.automated.it/OM2007.2/ and here: http://rabenfrost.net/celtune/ i can choose between the "underground" series or "dev" among others, just not the f*** image that came with the neo preinstalled (lots of dead links on the wiki). or i could try android -would be cool but probably slow and with missing features-. or debian, now that i'm happy not using it on my workstation anymore. excuse my frustration, the last thing i want is to start a flamewar. i just want a phone that makes calls and if possible that plays music, but do not have time to hack on it every day. there is a lot of information here, a bunch of distributions, each one with different repositories and different bugs. i'm seeing that this is too complicated and i think 'll sell my 3 day old neo on ebay and wait 5 or 10 years before i buy a linux phone again because i really don't know what to do with it now that i can't restore what i've broken. i have linux on my desktop and that's the most important thing. next time i want to support a project like this one i'll just make a donation and wait until it's so fucking easy to use that i can give one to my grandma for christmas. well, that's a bit exaggerated but there is a limit, and if you don't have enough time to hack on the device as it's needed to have it working, it's just as useless as a windows box in a linux convention Original-Nachricht > Datum: Mon, 08 Dec 2008 11:13:50 +0100 > Von: "arne anka" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > An: "List for Openmoko community discussion" > Betreff: Re: messed everything mixing repositories? > please, prefix the subject with your distribution! > it's not only a matter of politeness but, with the plethora of > distributions available, a pure necessity to help people to help you! > > if you're still using 2007.2 flash something more recent -- 2007.2 is > dead. > > ___ > Openmoko community mailing list > community@lists.openmoko.org > http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community -- Sensationsangebot verlängert: GMX FreeDSL - Telefonanschluss + DSL für nur 16,37 Euro/mtl.!* http://dsl.gmx.de/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K1308T4569a ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: Newbie: Converting a brick to a phone
Hello Roland, you already have a good and detailed answer from Damien which makes very much sense. Depending on what you exactly want I anyway have some alternatives for you: SHR Works perfectly with me. Is not as "fancy" as QTextended but just my personal feeling is that is is more stable in the core functions: - making and receiving calls and SMS I had absolutely no issues (but I guess that differs a lot on what phone provider you use - Vodafone Germany with me), as mentioned the application is very simple so you use the SIM memory for contacts and SMS and you can only delete 1 SMS at a time etc. wifi connection to WPA2 protected WLAN works fine together with using the DNS of my router without any extra settings Suspend works but I think the battery still does not keep for too long (1 day???) but I never really took note of that so I might be completely wrong about battery life so you might just want to try this out and see if that suits your needs, more information here: http://shr.bearstech.com/trac/wiki/Get%20Started On my GTA02 v5 I am using this uImage: http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing/images/neo1973/uImage-2.6.24+r10 +gitr6e2a723ef54ee2e739c34786981b2c508db803c1-r10-om-gta02.bin and this rootfs: http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing/images/neo1973/shr-image-om-gta02.jffs2 And in addition I run Debian on my SD card which really gives you a lot of options and runs stable with the FSO phone stack that it comes with. You can expect exactly the same phone functionality as on SHR. But Debian is for the fun and possibilities and loads of programs - if you don't need that and don't want to bother configuring Debian to your liking you don't have to read on! Good instructions I used to install Debian on my SD card (you need an SD card, recommended min 1GB!) as the distribution is very large are in the Debian wiki: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner In addition to those instructions I had to change one setting to prevent the GSM from constantly going on and off: I had to change the /etc/frameworkd.conf file under the ogsmd section to ti_calypso_deep_sleep = never (and only if you want to play around you can have a look at the tweaks at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian#Time like how to set the time) Hope this helps you enjoying you phone freedom as I am and does not make that confusing amount of choice agein Markus Am Montag, den 08.12.2008, 18:38 +0100 schrieb Damien Thébault: > On Mon, Dec 8, 2008 at 17:23, Roland Whitehead <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes there are many different distributions out there but what is very > > clearly missing are simple, obvious instructions on how to go from a brick > > to a working device - just a machine that will turn on and off, will ring, > > answer and make calls, not hang and not have buzzing when on a call.

Re: [OM kernel newbie] Error building kernel
Hi,
I think I found out my problems.
First it was a "bashism" like Asheesh pointed out. Thanks Asheesh.
After this I started to see another error with parenthesis
---
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: `echo 2.6.24-(no_fb42ce6724576fc1-mokodev >
include/config/kernel.release'
---
which was related with Andy said about not having a branch. the "(no"
was from the output of git branch
--
* (no branch)
master
...
--
I did "git checkout -b origin/my-andy-tracking --track origin/andy-tracking".
So, I created a local branch "origin/my-andy-tracking" and after that
./build compiled ok.
I don't know if there's a way to do this without creating a local branch.
Thanks Asheesh and Andy,
Rui

Re: Newbie: Converting a brick to a phone
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi Roland, Since I was the one claiming that WSOD was gone, I'm gonna answer that. As you should know if you skimmed through the list, there seem to be several different hardware revisions of the Freerunner, all of which have subtle differences with regard to hardware. For example some people seem to never have gotten a WSOD, while for me (up to this weekend) it was a 9 out of 10 chance that my phone would give me the WSOD on a suspend/resume cycle. Also, I understand that other issues like the echo are partly influenced by environmental issues (like what provider you are using). Am I able to tell you how to get a fully functional phone? No. It depends on your specific scenario. However, I can tell you how I got to the point where I am now - at a level where I (as a user who is not dependent on his mobile phone) can more or less reasonably use my phone without it being a brick. The process I followed was (as far as I remember - this took me ~3 months after all): Flash OM2008.9 (along with provided kernel and bootloader), install illume-config and illume-config-illume, update to testing branch, deactivate auto-screen blank/suspend, update to newest kernel. I'm not sure, whether I modified the alsa state file after flashing OM2008.9, but since echo is not gone yet this should not make a difference. To shorten the process, you'd probably be at the same state if you just flash the newest testing images. This gives me at least: - - Working calls, incoming and outgoing. Other party hears noticeable echo of his/her own voice. Call quality on my side is good, though. - - Working SMS, sending and receiving - - Working GPS (used it several times for navigation already - very useful in Venice for example) - - Working suspend - no WSOD, phone wakes up on incoming calls. - - (Probably) working WLAN (finds APs just fine, I think I connected once to my own AP, but I'm using USB networking usually) - - Unreliable accelerometers - they seem to crash sometimes. Didn't check for some time, though - this may have changed. Unconfirmed (because I don't use it at the moment): - - Bluetooth - - USB Host mode - - GPRS - - Headset - - Provider service numbers (reportedly, these seem to cause problems) Remaining nuisances: - - I've been told that the echo on a call is very irritating for the other party. - - I want Raster's keyboard back :) Apart from the echo, this is already way more than what my (very old) Nokia phone could do. And with WSOD gone, 24h of battery time should be easy to reach. I'd suppose that even 48h might be possible without problems. Hope that gives you an overview of the situation.

I used it last weekend because the battery of my old phone was empty. The good things: * SMSes are working * Calls to voicemail are working, like a real phone (didn't try a real call with someone), keep in mind that you can hang up with the power button if you leave the dialer * The phone wakes up when sleeping (when a call comes or a SMS comes) * I really like the new handwriting input module, once you know how to use it in a different language than english: - draw a triangle (lower left -> lower right -> up -> lower left), choose the lower-left choice to disable word recognition. - draw some letters, if it doesn't recognize it, try the next one with the good gesture (lower-left -> upper right -> lower left) or choose from the list (double clockwise circle)(this is most useful for letters with accents) - insert special characters (double counter-clockwise circle) Some characters (like "t" or "x" are a little hard to draw, but skill improves over time, I'm now even capable of drawing an "i" instead of "l" when I want to) The bad things: * I get SMSes more than one time in the inbox, and there's problems with SMSes in the trash * Sometimes it's acting weirdly and I have to restart QtExtended (it's faster than just rebooting), and sometimes the phone think it's charging when it's not even plugged in (so it doesn't sleep...) * There's the buzz issue with the wired headset The "I don't like" things: * I don't really like the "kinetic" scrolling * Using a word file in my language would allow me to use the handwriting more successfully * I think that my SD card (the one that came with the phone) is broken, the phone can't recognize it, my laptop can't either, and if it's plugged in, the SIM doesn't work The "more than just a phone" things: * I don't really like the music player * The GPS doesn't work * I was not able to configure GPRS and MMS I'm back to my old phone now, but for me it's definitively improving, I'm waiting for 4.4.3/4.4.4.

Same developer name in both places, so I'm guessing that Andnav uses osmdroid under the "I can relicense my code to myself" exception. Apparently he plans to start charging for Andnav, but he's also asking for donations to fund a US server. Sounds like there's still some confusion about a business model. osmdroid may still be a good option for an unencumbered Maps API for Android, especially if Google doesn't make their maps API distributable on devices running open source Android. What I'd really like to see is a cloned (i.e. just change package name), open source reimplementation of the Google maps API with pluggable back ends that make it easy to use various map sources including OSM. I guess I should stop talking about it and start coding. Jim ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Newbie: Converting a brick to a phone
I, like a great many others I suspect, have a NeoFreerunner doing its best impression of a brick on the shelf because I just don't have the time to get it to the point where it works as a phone before I start doing what I got it for - developing additional software. Monitoring these lists and the wiki periodically produces an impetus for dusting it off and giving it another go (like this past week-end's claim that WSOD was gone) before reality sinks home and either the Neo white screens or my trusty Mac grey screens. Yes there are many different distributions out there but what is very clearly missing are simple, obvious instructions on how to go from a brick to a working device - just a machine that will turn on and off, will ring, answer and make calls, not hang and not have buzzing when on a call. After that, the user should be left to get on with it but I've completely failed to get to that stage despite trying 4 different distributions. I'm really talking basic here - if you have a machine that works for you, what Bootloader, Kernel and RootFS are you using and where did you get them from? What were the core applications that you loaded to make it work, where did you get them from and which versions? What were the modifications that you made to various settings files. If you have a working machine, could you blat it and rebuild it to get to the same position as you are in now? If so, would you document your process and share it with us? I don't really care which distribution at the moment - I just want one that could claim to work that I can then start developing with. I've got my Python books out ready... I have searched high and low through the wiki and list archives for over a month with no joy. If I've missed something blindingly obvious then perhaps you'd point me in the right direction. I guess the issue is that I'm neither a hardware hacker nor a kernel hacker but an application hacker - I'm certainly not an "end user" in the normal mobile phone sense but I still can't get anywhere. The temptation is just to say "oh well, I'll just leave it and go and play with Android or get an iPhone" but that is not what I got onto this for...

Re: [android] Unable to read long SMS messages
Ok, I've run a number of tests listening to the output of logcat. 1) Unsuccessfully sending an SMS message 2) Successfully receiving a short SMS message containing "Short message" 3) Unsuccessfully receiving a full SMS message (160 chars) I'm not sure what the cutoff point is here for the length that can be successfully received, I could try a few more and narrow it down. 4) And just incase I haven't pissed anyone off enough attaching large files I've included the logcat output (not just for radio) when attempting to power down the device (which doesn't work and just sits there with the spinner until I take the battery out).

I've only just installed it in fso m4 but I'll have more detailed look at it later on this evening and get back to you on it. In the mean time one thing that I'd really like is a smart phone, and I'd like your app to take advantage of the smarts. This is not really to do with your app as such but the FSO. I think it'd be as cool as if there was a project working on Context in the FSO and some app in which you could specify a new context based on gps coordinates, or wifi coverage, or whatever. I'm dull as and there are only so many places that I eat lunch when I'm at work. Given that fact your app should not have to ask me where I'm spending money. If I'm at the same co-ordinates that I spent my money twice last week it should have a fair idea that I'm in the cafe by the river. I'd not like to look at the history on the phone as even on that great screen I think you're on a hiding to nothing ;-) Create an app that will sit on the desktop and display you history in any number of ways. Use the FR for inputing the data on the spot and maybe give a summary on the phone but allow the user to really interrogate the data on the desktop. Maybe I'm getting even more anal in my old age but for some reason I wanted to have the FR recording my expenses in the coming year so that at the end of 2009 I could simply query how much did I spend in coffee last year?

Re: Optimization team update (11/23 ~ 11/29)
GTK support seems mildly improved in the testing release, but I'm still having big troubles with it. Note, that relatively simple GTK apps, such as TangoGPS work without issue. We're running a complex GTK app: http://gvsigmobileonopenmoko.wordpress.com/ It works perfectly on 2007.2, but on 2008.x releases it suffers from multiple problems; layouting and stability seem to the big ones. It is improved when running on the latest testing release, but still not up to the standard of GTK applications on 2007.2. We were promised that we wouldn't need to worry about Openmoko moving away from GTK as the latest releases would still run GTK applications. However performance is clearly below an acceptable level. I will be filing bugs ASAP and would be very interested in hearing comments from others. If anyone would like a copy of the gvSIG Mobile ipk for testing, please let me know.

Funding Global Domination Mk II "The Console"
Sorry about this but I had another thought on this subject after the T-Shirt thread. This one might be a bit less "easy" ;-) Hats off to OM for producing Open Hardware for programmers to create their ideas on. It's has been a noble effort and I hope it continues. I was thinking that the choice of Open Platform (Mobile Phone) was perhaps one of the most difficult choices that they could have made as very little Open software existed out there when they started. There are a lot of imaginative people in the community and in the fullness of time this is going to be brilliant. I was thinking that one possible area where an open platform is needed is The Console. I've heard of a lot of people getting the original Microsoft xBox to hack it so that they can run unsigned code in the box. They then run XBMC in it. It seems such a shame that you have to buy a M$ games console to run an open source Media Centre. Along the same lines a few years ago I spent months trying get MythTV running in an old Desktop to enable me to record TV. What can I say I never quite made it. Now to my knowledge the original xBox was not too far removed from a regular PC in nice plastics. It had TV out instead of a regular monitor connection. That is perhaps an an area of difficulty as perhaps different countries run different TV protocols. Anyhow some day I'd like to put together some hardware that could run MythTV, XBMC maybe have a huge Terabyte of storage and act as a file server as well. Maybe it could run Linux games as well and various emulators. Yes what Linux games ;-) So you'd have a PC Motherboard, TV out don't know what standard. Do all modern TV's take the same digital connection all over the world? Then you'll have a TV in signal for recording TV. Again I've no idea if that would mean different hardware all over the world. Ethernet, USB, Remote control. Nice plastics. A few companies have toyed with the idea of producing Open Console but to my knowledge nobody has ever really done it well. Yes there are various communities out there and that if anything shows that there has always been this "need". The last thing I'd want is for OM to dilute their effort on the FR but maybe someday they could become the name in OpenHardware. "OpenMoko Purveyors of OpenHardware since the start of the new millennium ;-)" Maybe I should join the Open Game Console Consortium and get some hardware specs and put my own console together that might take some time so if OM beat me to it I'll certainly buy their kit again.

So when I use a terminal to > get into U-Boot console, I interact with NOR machinery, and u-boot_env > storage is really in NAND field; that makes a point. There's a bit more to it than that. As I understand it there are two entirely separate instances of uboot, each with separate environment storage. You can get into the uboot console of either of them, depending on which one you start. NOR: Press and old Aux, then press and hold Power. NOR uboot menu should appear in ~2s. Environment is loaded from NOR storage. If you connect to the console you can edit the environment for that session, but you can't save the changes. This is so you always have a working uboot that will enable you to reload the NAND uboot and its environment, or replace it with an alternative bootloader such as Qi. NAND: Press and hold Power then press and hold Aux. NAND uboot menu should appear in ~10s. Environment is loaded from NAND storage. If you connect to the console you can edit the environment and save the changes back to NAND. Normal boot (just the power button) uses the default boot option for the NAND uboot. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Optimization team update (11/30 ~ 12/06)
Hey! I gave QTExtended 4.4.2 another go and you were right. It really is the best option to use the FR as a basic phone atm. I'm not sure why I didn't like it after flashing it the first time. I think I had some issues with suspending. Haven't had any problems with it so far, using the om-testing kernel. The echo isn't so bad either, but still there. I haven't tried to tweak the state-files yet. Addressbook and Calender work too. Some other first impressions: - Timezone isn't set after one changes it in the initial setup - Alarm doesn't ring when phone is suspended - Does someone know a way to turn of "word prediction" in the handwriting input style?
