QtMoko v31
Hi, new stable qtmoko release v31 is now out. You can download images for SD card and NAND flash from sourceforge [1] and sources from github [2]. QtMoko is distribution for Freerunner based on debian rootfs and qtopia phone stack and GUI. For more info please see [3] and [4]. Changes since previous version: - fixed invisible call button in finximod theme (Joif) - translated to French (Gregoire Juge) - updated Danish translation (Ole Carlsen) - better layout in docked keyboard - commented completion strip in docked keyboard - VT not switch to graphics which fixes X hang in VT_WAITACTIVE (Gennady+Me) - fix QX crash after pause/resume - using openssh-server instead of dropbear again This is first stable release based on kernel 2.6.34. I think nearly all regressions to andy-tracking 2.6.29 are fixed so i will tag last commit with 2.6.29 support and will merge 2.6.34 support in master. Docked keyboard (the one suitable for terminal) is now much better. It has same layout as in SHR, which means you will have cursor keys on main screen. The completion strip was IMO quite useless and wasted only space so it's now disabled. As for the VT fix (or hack ;-) it's now possible to use any X server with QX. So you can install full xserver and use it instead of Xglamo which is default. So happy new year!

Good evening to everyone
Hello guys, I got my FreeRunner few weeks ago and since that I'm having fun discovering it :-) I had been trying OM, SHR, Debian, Android, QtMoko and decided to stay with Qtmoko. I have v26,v30 and now v31 installed on several uSD cards (v31 is in NAND memory). Although QtMoko seems quite usable for Freerunner, there are still some points where I'd like to ask you for help. But I'm already using FR with QtMoko as my primary phone and its doing well :-) 1/ USB Host is not working in v30, v31 (in v26 is). Dmesg says unable to enumerate device. I was trying to connect USB flash drive, BT dongle and USBtoRS232 converter (With PL2??something chip) - all these were working on v26. 2/ GPRS is working on v30 and v31, great job !! 3/ Where am I to copy MP3 files to make MediaPlayer see them? I copied them to /media/card/Documents/audio/mpeg and /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg but still didn't see in MP. QMplayer was able to find them on first scan, but only if there were no further directories in /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg. Is there a way how to tell these programs where are my MP3s stored? 4/ Does anyone know how to set FreeRunner to play music over bluetooth audio stream? AFAIR it is called A2DP. Radio in my car is able to play such stream so I'd like to use it. 5/ I'm going to replace 2.5 audio socket in FR by 3.5 socket - so I could connect my headphones directly to FR. Did anyone try so? 6/ IS there a way how to enter Czech letters using FR keyboard ? ... at least in Navit? Street names in Navit are using czech letters and I'm not able to enter their names without having such letters on the keyboard. 7/ Can I use MP3 files as ringtones? 8/ Can I install ipk packages to QtMoko? 9/ People I call with are complaining about bad sound quality. Did it happen to any of you? Thanks for your time, Zbynek, Brno, Czech Republic ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
[UK] Experience with Vectone SIM?
I noticed today - http://www.vectonemobile.co.uk/ - what looks like an excellent PAYG deal for the Freerunner in the UK, because for £5 per month it means you can leave your GPRS on all the time, for random small bits of internet usage. I've sent off for one of their SIMs, but I wonder (1) if anyone else already has experience with them, and (2) if there is any existing support for tracking GPRS usage and alerting or disconnecting when it reaches a configured total. (I have no connection at all with this company, so apologies if this might sound like an advert. Also apologies if there are actually lots of similar offers like this already well known, and I've just failed to notice them before.)

You can do this in the kernel parameters in /boot/append or in QI just press the power button after the second flash of the aux button 3/ Where am I to copy MP3 files to make MediaPlayer see them? I copied them to /media/card/Documents/audio/mpeg and /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg but still didn't see in MP. QMplayer was able to find them on first scan, but only if there were no further directories in /home/root/Documents/audio/mpeg. Is there a way how to tell these programs where are my MP3s stored? Go to software packages and download the mp3 codec, then execute the file that shows up in applications. Suddenly media player will read mp3s in ~/Documents (qtmokos ~/ which is /home/root not the debian /root) 4/ Does anyone know how to set FreeRunner to play music over bluetooth audio stream? AFAIR it is called A2DP. Radio in my car is able to play such stream so I'd like to use it. You can add debian unstabled repos and see if there is anything there, I would be very surprised if not... 5/ I'm going to replace 2.5 audio socket in FR by 3.5 socket - so I could connect my headphones directly to FR. Did anyone try so? Please document if you do this! I've lost the second earphones I got for this (kindly given to me by my friend Brolin) and it's a real pain to find 2.5mm headphones here. 7/ Can I use MP3 files as ringtones? Yes, see my re to 3 8/ Can I install ipk packages to QtMoko? Not the ones built for SHR qtmokos got every debian package so something should do what you're looking for. 9/ People I call with are complaining about bad sound quality. Did it happen to any of you? not yet...
