Umlauts in Openmoko

[Tobias Kündig]

Hello everyone!

I received my Freerunner from Pulster about a week ago! It's a really great 
device and absolutely useful! Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

I just have one question: I'm living in Switzerland, so I type my SMS in 
(Swiss) German. That's why it would be really useful to use Umlauts (ä, ö, 
ü / Ä, Ö, Ü). Unfortunately Umlauts mess up the whole message text. They are 
replaced by {, } or even stranger signs. If I send a message with Umlauts 
from the freerunner, it is displayed correctly on the Freerunner but messed 
up on the receiving device.

I _think_, this has something to do with encoding. Is it possible to patch 
something so I can use Umlauts? Is it planned to include support for this 
special chars by default?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,
Tobias Kündig

Ah... I searched the wiki, but not the trac tickets.
Thanks for the link. I hope this bug is fixed soon!

Re: Pulsters outstanding orders

[Tobias Kündig]

I received mine about a week ago. Everything worked fine.

I got a confirmation by mail (see below) and received my Freerunner 5
days later.

Re: FR at golem.de

[Tobias Kündig]

This is the worst review I ever read from Golem.

So many mistakes. They bought their Freerunner and wrote the review. I
bet they haven't tested it for more than 1 day.

The funniest thing: They say the icons are bad. i.e. the «gears»-Tab
is not for Settings, it's for the favorites menu. Never heard from a
task manager, haven't they...

Usable Keyboard

[Tobias Kündig]

Hello everyone!

I flashed OM2008.8 yesterday. It's really awesome what great software the 
developers created! Thank you all for this!

But there are some small things I don't like on it:
* I. E. there is no real home screen.
* I cannot receive SMS - or lets say «not all SMS».
* I'm still missing configuration tools
* etc.

But all this things aren't too bad and I know that they'll be fixed soon(er or 
later). 
There is only one thing that makes the Freerunner nearly unusable: The 
keyboard.

With this crazy «dictionary-thing» I'm not able to write a message in (Swiss) 
German or any other language than English. Even a simple «Hallo» ends up 
in «Hello». And as long I'm not able to write a word that is not in the 
dictionary it's pretty useless for me. There are also keys missing to make it 
usable for the terminal.

I think I am talking for a lot of people who want to have a _nice and usable_ 
keyboard - for any language and any app.

The keyboard has to be finger friendly and not too small. It should contain 
all usual letters and special characters. 
I made a little mockup (it's no design masterpiece... ;-)) of a keyboard. I 
think something in this direction would be really cool:

http://files.it-media.ch/om_keyboard_mockup.jpg
(Modified Screenshot from the wiki)

The buttons measure 40x40 Pixels. Unfortunately there is not too much space 
between them, so I have no idea how it would be to type on it.

Does anyone got an idea how difficult it would be to create a keyboard _like 
this_? 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Tobias

Re: case manufacturing

[Tobias Kündig]

I made a case mockup a little while ago. But I never had time to create a 3D
model.

I came across a few problems while I designed the case:


   - The Freerunner doesn't have any buttons on its front. In addition to
   that, the borders left and right from the display are pretty large (around
   0.8 cm/0.315 inch). Everytime I looked at my mockup, I thought it's looking
   some kind of strange. It's really hard to get a good design if you only have
   a display and nothing more.
   - Another problem that was resulted by the one above was that every
   mockup I made looked either like the iPhone or a LG Prada (or like all the
   other mobiles with a touchscreen). These days nearly every touchscreen phone
   looks the same!
   - The last problem I came across was the thickness. Even if the bevels
   around the display are removed (that makes about 3mm/0.12inch less), the
   phone is still very thick. But I don't think there is a way to get it
   smaller...

Have a look at the mockup here: http://www.opkg.org/images/case_mockup.jpg

It would be really cool if someone could create a new case. I never liked
the original one, and something more "stylish" would be great.

Regards,
Tobias

www.opkg.org - Relaunch!

[Tobias Kündig]

Dear Community,

After hours of coding I can present you my little christmas gift for 
Openmoko and the whole community: The relaunch of www.opkg.org.
The whole site was recoded. There is a new system and a shiny new design.

These are the changes I made:


New Design
---

The old design wasn't very pretty. The new one is more professional and 
hopefully user friendlier than the old one.

The best results you'll get on a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. I'm 
sure there are some displaying bugs in other browsers than firefox or in 
other resolutions. If you find one, please drop me a line and I'll fix 
it ASAP.

There are also some small goodies. For example all new packages since 
your last visit are highlighted in the overview.

One note: Please remember that I don't speak English as first language. 
So I'm sure there are a lot of grammatically mistakes in the text. 
Please let me know that, so I can correct them.


Improved member area
---

If you are logged in, the member area are now appears on the homepage. 
You'll find a list of all your packages with useful links like «Edit» or 
«Restore older version». By the way, you now can delete your packages 
yourself.


The API remains the same
---

The API wasn't changed at all. So if you began to write an application 
using it, you don't have to change anything. It simply was ported to the 
new system - but the results it gives you, are the same than the old one.


What you should change
---

The URLs for the RSS-Feeds have changed. So please update the URL in 
your RSS-Reader. Furthermore I'm sure that not all updates since last 
Friday are correctly imported into the database. So please check the 
packages you updated since last Friday.


What's next?
---

There are some features I'd like to include in the future. First of all 
there's a repository I'd like to create. And maybe I'll include a 
feature where you can give the visitor information about the 
compatibility of your package. So you can say, yes, it works on 
OM2008.12 but not on FSO, for example.
Maybe I'll have to change the category names too because there is some 
conversation on the mailing list about it. We'll see...
Of course I'd like to implement your ideas as well. So please write me 
if you have a revolutionary idea.


Please let me know  what you think of 
the new site.

I wish you all a merry Christmas,
Tobias

www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha

[Tobias Kündig]

Dear community

I finally found some time to set up a simple repository for www.opkg.org. It
was difficult for me to figure out how exactly it is built. There isn't a
lot of information in the wiki and I've never done a repo before. However, I
like to try new things, so I wrote some little scripts that build a new
Packages(.gz) file every full hour.
To be honest, I'm not really sure if I've done it correctly. This is why I
ask the community to help me.

The repository's address is http://www.opkg.org/packages/.
Please feel free to test it and report any bugs/mistakes. I also appreciate
any suggestions on how I could make the system better. (How I said, I've
never done it before and actually don't have the knowledge to build a proper
repo.)
There are only the packages available that are stored on the
opkg.orgserver. The ones that are hosted on other servers aren't
included (yet).
I hope it won't break any systems - just to make sure: you test it _on your
own risk_.

Thanks in advance.

Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha

[Tobias Kündig]

Hi there,

First of all: Thanks to everyone who tested the repo alpha. Thanks to them I
could find some problems, which I have tried to solve today:


   1. From now on, every package on opkg.org, not only the packages on my
   server, are included in the repo.
   2. Some people told me about segfaults. So I took a closer look at the
   Packages file on my server: http://www.opkg.org/packages/Packages
   I'm not sure about this, but I think it is because there is not all the
   needed information available. For example: Look at 'efplayer_0.3_arm.ipk' in
   the Packages file. There is only a filename and a md5sum available. All
   other information I take out of the ipk file is missing.

To be honest, I don't know how to solve this problem. Is it possible that
the ipk files are damaged? Maybe someone on the list, that knows more about
ipk-packages and repos than me, has an idea...

It would be great to get a feedback about the new repo version, thanks in
advance.

Regards,
Tobias

Yes, it is a simple script that fetches all the data out of the API [1], 
then downloads the packages, generates all the needed data and uploads 
it to the server. It's executed every hour, so the repo should stay up 
to date.

Oh, that's something I didn't know. I'm not so familiar with GPL. But 
it's good to know. I'll have a look at this, because I don't want to get 
problems in the end. Thanks.

I didn't post about the repo, because it's still in developement - 
exactly like the mobile version and some other things. By now it seems 
to be usuable, but I'm sure there are some bugs left. If it's stable 
once, I'll write about it. Another reason I don't post every idea I have 
is that I'm never sure if (or when) I can realize it. You know, I hate 
it to read about a great news, and then nothing happens for month (or 
for ever). I don't want to make the same mistake, so I just wait until 
I'm sure that a new feautre will be published soon.

It would be great to have such an application. Somewhen I found 
something similar: Someone wrote a python app which is kind of a simple 
frontend for the API, it sounded very promising. But I don't know where 
it was anymore and I'm not sure if it is still being developed...

www.opkg.org ‒ source code released!

[Tobias Kündig]

Dear Community,

For nearly two month there was no update from www.opkg.org. The reason 
for it is pretty simple: I had no time to develop anything for the 
website. At the moment there's a whole lot going on around here. 
However, I'm really pleased, that there are already 100+ packages in the 
database. Thanks to everyone who made this possible.

But there are still some features needed, like a better comment system 
with email notifications, for example.

So it wondered what I could do to solve this problem. Finding a solution 
then was pretty simple: There are lots of great web developers out 
there, people who know a whole lot more than I do. So I decided to 
publish the opkg.org source code. This way _anyone_ can help developing 
new features for www.opkg.org. I'm sure there are some great developers 
with great ideas out there.

If you want to help developing www.opkg.org, head over to 
http://www.opkg.org/developer.html and get the latest snapshot.

If there are questions, please feel free to contact me.
I hope that this will help making www.opkg.org even better than it is 
today ;)!

I will still work on it, but there won't be as much progress than we 
have seen the past few month.

A blogpost is in the pipeline (not published yet, but will be tomorrow) 
and I'll think about projects.openmoko.smthng, thanks for the idea.

Tobias

Screenshots from wiki.openmoko.org

[Tobias Kündig]

Hello everyone

I'm working for a free german Linux-Magazine called Yalmagazine 
(www.yalmagazine.org). We are publishing an article about the Openmoko 
Freerunner this month.

I'm writing to ask you, if I may use some 2008.8 screenshots from the wiki:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2008.8

I'm sure someone on this list can answer my question.

Thanks in advance,
Tobias

Introducing http://www.opkg.org

[Tobias Kündig]

Hello everyone,

I'm proud to announce my newest project: http://www.opkg.org

It's a simple database of available *.ipk-Packages.
I know, some time ago there was someone other who planned to do 
something like this. But it's been a long time since then. I don't think 
they are working on it anymore...
It just confirms what everyone is saying about Openmoko: Everything is 
unfinished and takes forever to be done. In my opinion that's not true. 
All of you do a really great job. So I wanted to give my contribution to 
the community and build that Homepage.

There is a lot to improve on the site. These are (some of) my targets:

* add Search-Box
* improve «Package-Detail»-Screen
* improve Home-Screen

Everybody is able to post new packages or edit packages. Just register 
and log in. It would be great if all of you would help getting the 
database populated. I added just a few packages, but I know there are more!

If you find any kind of bugs on the page (espacially spelling mistakes) 
feel free to contact me. My first language is German - not English (I 
think you realized that lines ago...). I'm also happy if you send me 
your ideas and opinions!

Thank you.

Regards,
Tobias

Re: OpenMooCow 0.1

[Tobias Kündig]

It doesn't work for me.

If I tap the launcher icon the «loading...» screen appears, disappears and
then nothing happens. If I start it over ssh, there is no output and no
action on the neo either:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# export DISPLAY=:0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# openmoocow
# (nothing happens - even after a few minutes. So, I press Ctrl + C)
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~#

I'm using FDOM 
(Fat_and_Dirty_OM.200809_20080927.rootfs.jffs2)
with latest Kernel-Image (Om2008.9.uImage.bin) from
http://files.tdobson.net/openmoko/freerunner/fdom/

Anyone having the same problems?

Re: OpenMooCow 0.1

[Tobias Kündig]

Yes, can confirm that.
Newrotate and OpenMooCow don't work with not working accelerometers - of 
course.

After a reboot, the accelerometers worked and so did the MooCow.

Really great job, it is really funny!
I'll add it to www.opkg.org if you don't mind.

Tobias

I got the same error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

I've waited for a usable keyboard with big buttons. I would love to test
yours!
The Illume-Keyboard is great, but it's simply not the input method I am
searching for.

Has anyone fixed this bug yet? Is it possible that someone could share a
screenshot?

Thanks.

Alternative Case Designs

[Tobias Kündig]

Hello everyone!

I made a little tutorial about how you can change the look of your 
Freerunner's Case.
It's available at http://www.opkg.org/specials/.

Maybe someone else wants to be creative too... ;-)

Regards,
Tobias

Yeah, thought of this too. But I already finished work and forgot to 
take the phtotos.
Maybe I add some later!

Re: GTA03 - buttons or touchscreen

[Tobias Kündig]

Combo would be great (maybe some kind of these slide-display-sideways 
things).
TS only would work too, if a combo is too much.

Bluetooth doesn't work for me. In the Bluetooth menu I only get a «Bluetooth
