Re: GPRS internet connection applet

The applet is callet PyPPP, screenshot and download here: http://www.rigacci.org/wiki/doku.php/doc/appunti/hardware/freerunner#connessione_internet_via_gprs Looks nice! Have a look at SettingsGUI if you like - I wrote some code there to interpret and generate pppd/peers files. It's also pygtk.

Re: GPRS for FSO Milestone 2

Please stop telling these lies. Marcus, did I miss the irony here, or do you really believe this? [..] FSO is the brainchild of Dr. Michael Lauer, fresh from the university's ivory tower but lacking any industry experience. It is reinventing the wheel and drains lots of ressources that are needed elsewhere inside of Openmoko. It combines plenty of things out of which one is a new PIM API based on dbus. This idea alone is worth to be mentioned every day for a year on the dailyWTF website. Well, this is an interesting point. I've had the same doubt with DBUS. But event driven programming is exactly what is needed for a battery driven device. IMHO It is not about GTK or qt or ETK. It is about getting a working platform out to users and developers. OM2007.2 was mostly there. You are right. But said that, there is nothing we can do about the decision taken now. And it was taken rather now than even later, because the developers knew they could do better. It reminds me to a joke: Two fools try to escape from a lunatics hospital. There are 100 walls to climb over and so they start: 10, 20, 50, 90, 99. In that moment says the one to the other: 'Lets go back and do the last wall tomorrow'. Nice analogy. But FSO is not going back - but pauses to build a bigger ladder. Even if the idea behind FSO is to build everything from scratch - we can still take all we've got with 2007.2 and just use it in FSO until the newer, better approach is usable. (which will be in 2 or 3 months - if I read the roadmap right) I wasn't reading this list for months, but I find it a pity that guys like you where ignored when designing FSO. IMHO GTK and the Openmoko-GTK-theme have to be usable in FSO - and there has to be support for the older daemons until the new ones are usable and implemented in all apps.

Re: wifi
I've spent a great deal of time messing with WIFI also. Once I get some more experience with the OM platform, I might contribute to building a gui network manager. I really believe that a lot of the common system administration-type tasks - such as setting up WLAN, setting up GPRS routing, etc. - can and should be wrapped up in very easy-to-write tools with a GUI. For example, the SettingsGUI progress was awesome, maybe because its python-based, and perhaps we all should be looking to extend this app to include the more detailed admin procedures? Thanks Jay! Actually I am integrating mofi panel after John Beaven contected me: http://projects.openmoko.org/projects/mofi/ SettingsGUI still has to be ported to GTA02 and the FSO image. This is what I'll be doing here during the next days. If anyone wants to try it out and give feedback, see the SVN repository at our neo1973-germany trac: http://neo1973-germany.de/wiki/SettingsGUI Greetings from Berlin Kristian -- /* Web: http://www.mput.de | Tel:+49 (0)170/6692447 * * Blog:http://mput.de/blog | ICQ:93248497* * GPG-ID: 4BBB6525 (..2009) | Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]* * Twitter: kristian_m | MSN:[EMAIL PROTECTED] */ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Re: Video Playback virtually impossible on Neo Freerunner? (Re: Video of Qt 4.4 on Neo1973: brings iPhone like graphics)
Hi Christoph Am Donnerstag, den 24.04.2008, 11:19 +0200 schrieb Christoph Witzany: As I understood Video playback will be virtually impossible on the freerunner, at least from the sd card (which is the only sensible location to store videos on the neo ftm). I did some testing on that with GTA01. Please correct me if I misunderstood. Even with GTA01 it was possible - though the tests I made there are not valid for GTA02 (don't have one yet). What I found out with mplayer is: 1) H.264 will take to much time to decompress (even at low bitrates) 2) SDL will be the fastest way to output without HW acceleration 3) using H.263 (as Youtube does) I could get the best compression/bitrate/speed ratio 4) using 320x240 and scale to 640x480 (480x640) is doable Some of those findings are documented at the buttom of http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Video_Player If I interpreted Carsten right 640x480 video will display at 5-10 fps at best, right? Actually with GTA01 I've had 13 fps in fullscreen mode (320x240 - 480x640) which looked really okay and was viewable. A 640x480 H.263 though with reasonable bitrate took to much cpu-power to decode. Anyway, with GTA02 you should take a try - it seems doable in SW even without 2D acceleration, as it just has more cpu power. - try to start with: mencoder -quiet -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 352 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 \ -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts \ acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=200:abitrate=32 \ -o outfile infile mplayer -autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1 -sws 0 -nodouble \ -vo sdl -fs -framedrop tagetfile Greetings from Berlin Kristian -- /* Web: http://www.mput.de | Tel:+49 (0)170/6692447 * * Blog:http://mput.de/blog | ICQ:93248497* * GPG-ID: 4BBB6525 (..2009) | Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED]* * Twitter: kristian_m | MSN:[EMAIL PROTECTED] */ ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Yes, that's doable. You can use Personal Area Networking (PAN) with the pand app in bluez. If you like you can use the latest SettingsGUI Version to scan for Bluetooth Peers and start a PAN connection to one of them.
