No we dont have a neutral gender in Spanish, but the Spanish for 'his' and 
'her' is the same ('su') so we don't have that problem:
 
'his/her Freerunner' ==> 'su Freerunner'
 
As for English, I prefer 'their' rather than 'his/her'. I wonder how this issue 
was solved in the past. Such a usual problem must have been solved centuries 
ago in the English literature, no?
 
And yes, this is totally off-topic, and the where-can-I-meet-a-female topic is 
totally ridiculous and bad taste and I think the list administrator (if there 
is one) should do something about it.

Yes, I have. I believe a 500 Mb SD should suffice.

You should note that the Freerunner port of Mer is not being actively 
developed. The newer versions of Mer are intended to bring some of the shiny 
new effects of the N900 to previous iterations of the Nokia internet tablet. I 
don't think the Freerunner would cope very well with these. If you want to try, 
it may be possible to build a more recent image yourself using the imager 
script:

Also, since it's developed as an OS for internet tablets, there is currently no

I still have the SD card that came with my Freerunner (therefore 500 MB, I

What about the graphical performance? Would you say it's better or worse than 
using SHR on Freerunner?

Freerunner, Qt Extended Improved, libswt issue

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello, Sebastian.
yes, I tried -among other things- to install explicitly the jni package with no 
success.
 
In one of the tests, I got an "unsatisfied link error" even though the .so 
files needed were actually there. As if those .so files were useless.
 
In another test, one of the .so files was deleted (?) when trying to execute 
the SWT-based application (even though I removed all the writing permission. 
Amazing: there's a force stronger than linux permissions)
 
In the last tests, I got an error message that said something like "no more 
handles".
 
All this worked fine on OM 200X and on SHR
 
I thiought it would be too complicated to explain all those details, so I 
prefered to re-shape my question:
 
Anybody got the SWT Sample application shown here [1] to work on Freerunner + 
any of the Qt* distributions ('Qt Extended', 'Qt Extended Improved' or 
'QtMoko')? (FYI: QtMoko seems to be a Debian distribution plus a Qt GUI)

You should have the package libswt3.4-gtk-jni installed. It contains the
native libs for SWT and should normally come as dependency of libswt3.4-gtk-
java.

Dear Openmoko Community,

In light of the refocusing of Sean's company on 
consumer items, there
has been a perceived vacuum created in the Openmoko 
community's efforts
to create next-generation open cellular smart phones.

I happened to be working with Dr. Marcelo Zuffo, a full 
professor and
the head of the Laboratory for Integrated Systems at 
the University of
São Paulo, Brazil, on an unrelated project.  I asked 
Dr. Zuffo if the
university would be willing to join the Openmoko 
community and to
provide critical resources to the task at hand.

I subsequently have met with Dr. Zuffo several times on 
this matter,
have seen his facilities (which include a very modern 
and
state-of-the-art SMT line) and have discussed the goals 
of the community
to design and prototype a completely open design for a 
cellular phone.
Dr. Zuffo and the university understand your issues, 
understand free and
open source software and hardware and are willing to 
assist the
community with this project.

I might add that the university can bring several new 
capabilities to
the community:

First of all, Dr. Zuffo has discussed the Openmoko 
project with the
Minister of Telecommunications of Brazil, and the 
Minister is very
enthusiastic about the concept.  Having the support of 
the government of
the twelfth largest economy behind the project might 
really help us with
various negotiations with vendors.

Secondly the University has been working on several 
aspects of
telecommunications for a long time, and therefore has 
expertise in
telephonic security and codecs (among other things) 
that could be of use
to the Openmoko community.

Third, the university has the ability and expertise to 
design new
integrated circuits.  Recently they designed a a range 
of analog-digital
chips.  Therefore the possibility of developing, 
manufacturing and
freely licensing new chips to help reduce the cost of 
the phone is
possible.

Forth, while the facilities I mentioned are capable of 
producing up to
10,000 units at the rate of one circuit board every 30 
seconds,  the
purpose of the facilities is research, developing and 
support projects
that can lead innovation, the lab's charter does not 
allow them to
manufacture more units then the 10,000 because that 
would be "commercial
production".  Therefore the university has a goal of 
freely licensing
the design to companies for manufacture.

Fifth, the university would be happy to host the 
mailing lists and
forums of the Openmoko project.  If some of the 
software projects need
hosting and can not find hosting services other places, 
the university
will consider a

Not necessarily. They don't have to provide any mechanism to 
re-flash the
device, then the linux based device is just as closed, even 
when they
publish the source. GPL does not protect against this (v3 
might, not sure).

It's BSD style FOSS. Anyone can do what they like with it. The 
fact that
others can close their versions doesn't detract from that. If 
you want to
argue that it loses flexibility as a platfor, when you're using 
a self- or

No, they really aren't. You can download and install stuff from 
outside the
approved store on commercial android handsets
and on free/open ones ones (Android on FR) you have full 
control, including
the full source under APL2.

You just try getting the source from Apple and running it

Why fork when you can port? There are several places doing just 
that and
re-submitting upstream when they have good results. It's being 
ported to
some nokia devices, netbooks, FR etc.

And why is it a wolf in lambs skin? I mean, what the hell are

is a midlet (JME-CLDC), so you cannot start it as you would do with a JSE or

In this page there are instructions to start a midlet on Phoneme Advanced:

Hello,

I'd like to run the gmail java application in my moko. Has anybody tried that?

I couldn't download the application from the freerunner itself ( woosh, midori 
and dillo2 all failed) so I found this link and downloaded the .jar with wget:

wget http://m.google.com/app/v2.0.6/L1/gmail-g.jar

I don't know much about java but after reading this 
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Java#Status_on_Openmoko I figured out I needed to 
install a java ME, so I added the jailmo repositories as explaned here 
https://wiki.evolvis.org/jalimo/index.php/Packages#OpenMoko and then installed 
phoneME like this:

opkg -force-depends install phoneme-advanced-foundation

but when I try to run the application I get the following errors:

$ cvm -jar gmail-g.jar 
-jar: Could not find Main-Class manifest attribute

Any suggestions?

Another possibility would be to run the new web application "for android and 
iPhone", but is there any browser for moko that supports HTML5 or gears?

Android on freerunner, GUI responsiveness

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hi List.
 
To those who have installed Android on the Freerunner: how responsive is the 
GUI? Is the Google maps application available? If so, is the panning (for maps 
and menu lists) as smooth as with G1 or the Android emulator?

That letter is one of the effects of the economic downturn. They pretend they 
have sent a letter to the wrong place, in the hope that someone will read it 
and give them a job.
 
So please let's not make fun of it. That person deserves our respect and

A few points to consider:

  appears correctly, and some is not reversed, resulting in an image
  that is fairly far from readable.
* The best place I know of to find Arabic speaking FOSS related

Hello, 

I know window titles are reversed because of the incoherency of SWT controls - 
I'll just reverse the words in the dictionary ;), but I think the short words 
inside the window are perfectly readable. Which part do you fail to read? 
Having a label to the right or to the left of the drop-down is very important

Arabic translation please

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Dear list,
 
I have seen that the default font used by Openmoko (at least from Java (Jalimo) 
apps) is very rich and supports the Arabic alphabet, so it's relatively easy to 
translate any app.
 
Will someone please translate the attached little dictionary into the Arabic 
language? It's just 50 words or so. If it's possible, I'd like a version that 
can be understood in all the Arabic-speaking world, from Casablanca to Oman ;-)
 
Simply open the attached file with OpenOffice, translate, save and send back. 
I'll then encode the characters conveniently.

opkg - question

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Dear list,

I have seen a strange behavior in opkg. The context is this:

A certain repository (listed in the FR's conf files) has these versions of 
'package':

package.0.1.ipk
package.0.3.ipk

Somewhere else in the internet (not a repository) this file is available:

http://mypage.org/package.0.2.ipk

And I type in the Freerunner:

opkg install http://mypage.org/package.0.2.ipk

And the package that gets installed is package.0.3.ipk !!
Is this normal? I cannot have package.0.2.ipk installed? how?

Juan Lucas

RE: Graphics Performance

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Dear list,
 
I was told that one of the Qt distributions has a significantly better graphic 
performance. Can anyone confirm this? Which distribution is it exactly?
 
Besides, the Java entry in the distributions table says '??' for Qt. Anyone 
knows about the Java support in those (hopefully) faster Qt distros?
 
Regards
Juan Lucas
 
 





In my case, one of the motivations for looking into the FR was the VGA
graphics capability. Any old phone would do for QVGA level performance.
As for the ferrari analogy, as far as graphics performance goes, it
looks like the Apple produces and their competitors make the FR look
like the poor cousin, which to me means that it does not have far to go
as a phone of the future. Its just an interesting little gadget for
hobbyists.

Makes me wonder what the designers were thinking.

For non-graphics intensive applications, however, the FR is quite
adequate in VGA mode.

Hi Juan,
'Segmentation fault' is very generic error. It can mean e.g. 
that
program writes data to wrong memory place. Your problem is not
related to QtExtended Terminal, it's related to JavaVM. You can 
use
gdb and talk to JamVM authors if you want debug this.

Ok, thanks

A friend of mine received his revA6 Freerunner in January and 
afaik it was
shipped wirth Om2008.x. Because of the boot time I believe it 
was 2008.12 but
I haven't seen it myself... He just told me about the black 
illume theme.


 

If he didnt tell you about the initial harsh ping, then for sure it wasn't Om 
2007.x ;-)

Normallu on last SHR testing, the gpsd is automatically started for every 
application using it. It is so with tangogps for example.

Great news :)

SHR users just have to remember to start gpsd if you want to see where
you are - that's what /usr/bin/gvsig does on OM2008.x distributions,
but that doesn't seem to be working for you SHR people :(

Hello, the initial loading time depends on the sum of SHP + DBF + SHX. After 
that, the drawing time depends on how many vertices and pixels are painted on 
the screen (it you zoom in, it's faster, of course). You will start losing your 
patience  if the SHP is greater than 500 KB. There's a lot of work to be done 
to improve the graphic performance.

I don't know.

Another question: I'm trying to load a shp file of an archaeological
site. Which is the recommended dimension for shp + shx + dbf files? With
a sum of 7 Mb it seems a bit slow :)

RE: FreeRunner, most used distributions

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hi,
 
>From that table I came up with two conclusions:
 
- There is a large number of FreeRunners running Om 2008.X
- Apparently it'snot too dificult to have a couple distributions installed and 
choose one of them each time you reboot the phone.
 
That's great news for me!
Thanks a lot

I created a survey once:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p2ZQdcRSVg9XfYLwBVsZicg

and a Map with FR-Locations, so a potential buyer could have a look at it
before buying one:

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=115352610340426907999.000461ec26b35ac3fad63&z=7

Both, the survey and the map are freely available to anyone and of course also
to the bad guys that may be using the given data to send you offers for other
mobile phones. :-)

Which may be the reason why participation did not reach a level in any way
comparable to responses on some postings on the mailing list. So it might not
representative at all. For example it seems that there is only one FR sold to
the US while not even one is available around Taipeh. ;-)

To take part in the survey use this link:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=p2ZQdcRSVg9XfYLwBVsZicg

I believe after taking part you get a nice summary, showing pretty graphs with
percentages. At least I can see it but I couldn't manage to share it to anyone
not logged in with a Google account. However I could print it to a file and
publish it here if someone is interessted.

FreeRunner crashes after 10 minutes using GPS

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Dear list,

My FreeRunner (running Om2008.9) freezes after about 10 minutes using the GPS 
from my Java application. I think it's the same issue discussed below. I have 
searched the tickets but didnt find a reference to this among the 2200 tickets.

User Trevino recommends replacing xglamo with xfbdev. How do I do it?

Any ideas?

Juan Lucas

Last time I've used Xglamo based distros I had this too. As I said in 
the other thread, imho the problem is only due to Glamo and/or Xglamo 
since using Xfbdev workarounds it (remove xglamo and install xfbdev 
instead, no more freezes!).

This is supported also by the freezing errors you reported (and that I 
got too).

RE: Freerunner, Jalimo, rxtx, GPS

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello, my goal is not just accessing the GPS device. I'm trying to run on 
Openmoko a certain java application that uses librxtx to access the GPS, and 
librxtx happens to be in the Openmoko-Jalimo repository. I'm not asking for the 
moon

Anybody has used this librxtx?

http://jalimo.evolvis.org/repository/openmoko/

The person who uploaded it, perhaps?

I have no idea at all, but a question: have you tried using FSO and it's
dbus API for GPS/positional services?

Freerunner, Jalimo, rxtx, GPS

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Dear list,

I am trying to use librxtx to access the GPS device in my FreeRunner through 
the /dev/ttySAC1 serial port. I have done this:

opkg install librxtx-java
opkg install librxtx-jni

In the classpath of my little java app I have added RXTXcomm.jar and tried to 
execute this code without success. No ports are discovered (with the GPS on and 
off), and if I try to access a port called /dev/ttySAC1, it says it does not 
exist. What am I doing wrong?

=
  static void listPorts()
{
java.util.Enumeration portEnum = 
CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifiers();
while ( portEnum.hasMoreElements() ) 
{
CommPortIdentifier portIdentifier = (CommPortIdentifier) 
portEnum.nextElement();
System.out.println(portIdentifier.getName()  +  " - " +  
getPortTypeName(portIdentifier.getPortType()) );
}
}

static String getPortTypeName ( int portType )
{
switch ( portType )
{
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_I2C:
return "I2C";
case CommPortIdentifier.PORT_PARALLEL:
return "Parallel";

HTC + Openmoko + Jalimo

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello, list:

According to this website, Openmoko runs well on the HTC Universal:

http://www.handhelds.org/moin/moin.cgi/UniversalStatus

Does this mean that the Jalimo stack will work without problems on it? Actually 
I'm not especially interested in the phone features, but rather in the GUI 
capabilities (will a java.awt.Choice look good?, will the Graphics.fillPolygon 
work?) and access to the serial port (external GPS).

Any of you has ideas / examples / experience / links on this?

Juan Lucas

RE: GPS wrong longitude

2009/1/8 Nicolas Laurance :

sorry if i'm being missing the point and being pedantic, but 
i'm sure
latitude measures angle north/south of the equator.

longitude measures the angle east/west of the greenwich meridian

are you at a point where the two have similar values, and 
getting them
the wrong way round?

alternatively, how precise is the lat/lon reading? tangogps 
provides
an hdop value - realistically, this should be as low as 
possible.
maybe you can't get a good fix, because of trees/buildings/old 
kernel
with microsd interference?

 

One degree in latitude means 111 kilometers.
This thread is yearning for a screenshot!

Hola. This table:

Hola,

I followed your hint and copied over the "[TAB] Q W E R T Y ... " as
first row (changing the y coordinate to zero) and it works fine, in
'normal' and 'caps' mode, as you may see here:

http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-23.png

Then I changed the chars to the Spanish tilde chars, for example:

key  45  0  30  30
  normal   ¿  questiondown
  shift?  question
  capslock ?  question
key  75  0  30  30
  normal   á  aacute
  shiftÁ  Aacute
  capslock Á  Aacute

and so on, letting there the remainin chars, as you see in

http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-24.png

as before, the 'normal' keyes are working as they should, the 'caps'
keyes give wrong result; if one only HUP the 'enlightenment' processes,
the result is more or less random, if one starts the Xserver new, the
result stays in the small letter;

I think there is a bug in interpreting the file (or the values like
'Eacute', ...), and for the moment we
have to live with "letras minúsculas" (small letters) only for the moment;

RE: [Om2008.9] Spanish Illume keyboard (was: Call for Illume keyboardsand keyboard icons)

[Juan Lucas Dominguez Rubio]

Hello, Matthias. Thanks for that Spanish keyboard. I have no idea why you have 
that strange behavior. The only differences I see between your new row at the 
top and the other rows are:
 
- it does not begin at x = 0,
- it does not reach the right border of the keyboard
- it does not follow the honeycomb model:

http://w3.antd.nist.gov/wctg/netanal/honeycomb.gif


I would copy one of the existing rows (for example "[TAB] Q W E R T Y ... ") 
and then set the y coordinate value to zero and see what happens.

Asunto: [Om2008.9] Spanish Illume keyboard (was: Call for Illume keyboardsand 
keyboard icons)




Hello,

I've followed the hints in
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Illume#List_of_illume_keyboards
and have created a new keyboard file Spanish.kbd as this:
http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Spanish.kbd
and have some minor problems, maybe only some misunderstanding of the
keyboard file syntax/rules;

to make life easy on keying in the Spanish tilde chars (without
requesting for every char with a tilde to press an additional modifier
key) I've just created a new row of keys as you can see here:

http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-20.png

having the keys for: ¡ á é í ñ ó ú ü ¡
the problem is that with the new (bigger) definition of the keyboard size of

kbd 450 180

the last row of keys (ctrl alt space ) becomes half invisible and
unusable; I have had to use 'kbd 450 190' to get the full working
keyboard on the screen, like you see it here:

http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-21.png

why is this?

so far so good; the small keys are working fine as you see in the
screen; I launched the composer of a SMS and typed in from left to right
the keys of the 1st row; see Screenshot-21.png;

Then I tested them together with CAPS-LOCK, the image switched fine
on pressing CAPS-LOCK and is showing the capital chars, see here:

http://www.sisis.de/~guru/OMkbd/Screenshot-22.png

but keying in the chars, three times and always from left to right, give
random(!) results and you may see in the 2nd line of the SMS; what is
the reason of this?

Thanks in advance

matthias

Yes, please file bugs. Please also attach the versions of 
cairo, gtk+,  
glib, pango from Om2007.2 and Om2008.8.

Did you try to use a different theme engine? Is that changing 
the  
performance?

z.

 

Hi, Holger, all

Joseph and I are collaborating to get this Java GIS application to run on 
Openmoko. We regularly update/upgrade from:

http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/ 
 

We are currently using the java.awt package for the GUI and are having a few 
issues than we didn't see with Om 2007.2.

We are drawing our map on a java.awt.Panel which is something we cannot change 
easily, but I think we can replace the other controls (buttons, dialogs, 
labels, etc.) with the Eclipse swt widgets and keep this awt panel for the map 
(embedded). Also we are going to test JamVM instead of cacao. We'll let you 
know how it goes.

Cheers,
Juan
