Re: SHR annoyances (+ a few workarounds)
No, that cannot cause the problem. dictator only stores the current state in /tmp/tmp.state and reloads it while being destroyed. It provides its own state-files. Try the one from opkg.org.

SHR annoyances (+ a few workarounds)
Hi, I'm using SHR-Unstable as my daily phone, it works but there are some things that bug me, mostly I can live with or work around them. It occurs to me other people might have better work arounds so I thought I'd post my current list and see what happens: Wifi = It seems reliable with the WPA2 networks I use it with but I can't seem to turn it off in SHR-settings and once I've connected to a network I can't reconnect to any network without rebooting. (I know there's work going on in the kernel relating to this). Workaround: After I've finished using wifi, I always reboot the phone so that next time I want to connect, it works Midori === Aside from the superuser-warning banner (which will be gone in the next release), the keyboard shortcuts (e.g. F11 for full screen) aren't available in Literki. There's a config file for accelerator keys (~/.config/midori/accels) but it seems to get overwritten every time it loads Workaround: Live without those keys (Hmm... I ought to try write protecting the file) Dictator The version in the repositories seems to just record crackling if I try and record my voice - this used to work. Watching videos === I'd like to watch videos on my FR. I've encoded it using the command listed in the video playback section of: http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Customize But with mplayer-video the sound and pictures become out of sync. I've not tested it with intone-video from opkg.org as there's a clash with the updated versions of the elementary libraries Ringtones = I've altered my default ringtones to 8bit mono so they are quicker to load and to stop. Vagalume in the repo/image == It crashes Workaround: Use the one from opkg.org Hum in landscape When the phone is in landscape mode (really useful when typing with Literki) there's a quiet but persistent hum.
