Graphical GPRS launcher for FSO-based distros
I recently started using SHR and am very happy with it. GPRS worked nicely, but I had no good way of launching it. Yes, I know, there is the framework-settings utility, and it works, but it doesn't tell me the current status or give any feedback other than showing the button as pressed and sometimes the button would be pressed, yet the connection failed in the background. Anyway, I put together a small tool that uses Gtkdialog. Hopefully it could be useful to someone else: http://natha.nkinka.de/gprs_launcher.sh It seems to work nicely for me. It can be used to start the connection, stop the connection, or to simply find out the current GPRS status. It requires Gtkdialog which didn't have a package in the SHR repository, so I built an ipk from the latest sources. It's the first ipk I ever built, so it's surely of low quality in terms of metadata, but it works: http://natha.nkinka.de/gtkdialog-0.7.9_0.1_armv4t.ipk Nathan ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

GUI Internal has some issues (read more at [1]) to me, so I prefer using the GTK gui without all but the menu bar. Those are is my navit.xml gui parameters: gui type=gtk menubar=1 toolbar=0 statusbar=0 / osd enabled=yes type=compass/ osd enabled=yes type=eta/ osd enabled=yes type=navigation/ osd enabled=yes type=button x=-96 y=-96 command=zoom_in src=zoom_in.xpm/ osd enabled=yes type=button x=0 y=-96 command=zoom_out src=zoom_out.xpm/ /gui It's quite good to me... Just two things: - The cursor should be bigger (mainly with a bolder outline) and its colors (I've set also color2) should be set to other values (more different to the main street colors). - The ETA and Navigation OSD boxes should be bigger too. It's quite hard to look at them while driving (I'm keeping the FR near my steering wheel but it's hard to read them anyway). Ah, I forgot to say that after this upgrade (I used the packages linked in the wiki before) navit seems to suggest me to turn too many times also if I'm still keeping the main way (using the Reiserplaner maps).
