Re: [Gta04-owner] Perfect on screen keyboard?
Radek Polak writes: > Any other ideas for nice and usable keyboards? I'm wondering about dasher, controlled by slight tilt movements, which would be detected by the accelerometer and/or gyroscope. Dasher already runs on the GTA04 with finger/stylus control, but there are two problems with that: it needs two hands, and for right handed people the finger/stylus hides a significant section of the letters appearing from the right. With tilt movements input could be done with one hand, and the oncoming letters would not be obscured. It needs prototyping to see if it would be really comfortable, so I may try to work on that. AFAICT from some very quick searching, it's been done on a tablet [1] but not on a smartphone yet. [1] http://www.inference.phy.cam.ac.uk/saw27/dasher/toshtilt/ I think the steps needed for GTA04 are: - finished drivers for the accelerometer and/or gyroscope - a program to take and process driver output and feed inputs into dasher's UDP socket input (like 'ToshTilt' mentioned at [1], but for GTA04) - input method integration so that dasher appears automatically when a text field gets focussed (which can be done by using or modifying the matchbox-keyboard-im code) - dasher UI modifications to hide things that aren't needed (the menu and toolbar) and add finger-friendly controls for what is needed (e.g. completing input and returning to the underlying app) - optionally, UI tweaks to make it fit better in the look of the containing distribution.

Please check, if the symlink /etc/freesmartphone/conf/GTA02/alsa-default points to the correct kernel version.

Re: debian + phoneui-apps

After installing the e17 meta package, the apps start. Furthermore, phone calls work! I removed the phoneui-wrapper.sh from .xsession again, and switched from matchbox-window-manager to enlightenment_start. Starting phoneui-dialer from command line works and phone calls can be made and received. Sound works from FreeRunner to the other phone, but I don't seem to get audio from FreeRunner with the default settings (nor the speaker switch works). Enlightenment seems to also have kept to its tiny font size (on Debian, hard-coded away in SHR distribution and elsewhr), which should be probably fixed in either Debian's E17 packages or in configuration otherwise. The phoneui apps (or any apps) also aren't visible in the home screen. Anyway, it's nice to see the new generation FSO2 in action on Debian. -Timo ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Please make sure, fso-gta02 and fso-frameworkd-gta02, phoenuid and e17 are installed. Theydepend on all needed packages and install them. If the PIN-Dialog doesn't show up, insert something like dbus-send --system --dest=org.freesmartphone.ousaged /org/freesmartphone/Usage org.freesmartphone.Usage.RequestResource string:GSM into ~/.xsession Basically, there is no additional configuration needed. > /usr/share/phoneuid/phoneui-wrapper.sh & If everything is correct, this isn't needed. > You can swap out xfce with enlightenment and it still works which is > great.

If you are using illume1 tap on top-panel and then on X to close or load module illume-softkey. On illume2 you can install shr-e-gadgets (It's not in Debian yet) git://anonscm.debian.org/pkg-fso/shr-e-gadgets.git and then echo "shr_elm_softkey.desktop" >> ~/.e/e/applications/startup/.order If you tap on top-panel, you should be able to switch and close windows.
