Launch maemo browser in fullscreen mode

[Erin Stadler]

The problem with the solution below is that you can still minimize the app
and then you are stuck with a white screen with nothing left to do but
restart it or re-flash it. Is there a way to let the desktop boot up but
stop other applications from loading other than the browser, so essentially
you keep the person from being to browse to anything other then the program
you give them?

A quick and dirty way would be to replace maemo-af-desktop with osso
browser in maemo-af-desktop startup script
(/etc/osso-af-init/maemo-af-desktop.sh).
 
A more proper way in my opinion would be to write a real init script
for it, and just remove the unneeded programs from the af initscripts.

Boot screens and launch app at startup

[Erin Stadler]

Ian,
I read through your tutorial and was hoping or anyone could answer a
few questions beyond what you have done already. First, I have been unable
to replace the first of the 3 boot up screens. Have you had success
replacing it? How? And, do you know of a way to launch an application at
startup? I would like the unit to launch the image viewer at startup.
Ideally, full screen. Thanks for any help you can give. Thanks.

Hi,
Not sure but maybe this will help you.
At the moment I am working my way through a 'branding' tutorial for my 770:
http://blog.2blocksaway.com/files/maemo-1.pdf

it seems using this you can replace totally the desktop/bookmarks/boot-up
splash screens and so on
using a custom .deb. You can also install the apps you want after your new
desktop is installed in
a postinstall shell script which calls dpkg -i on the app you want
[]'s

 This sounds like Desktop crashing.  If you have RSS applet enabled
 in Desktop *and* the Hacker edition is based on a version earlier than
the latest N800
 release, it could be a the crasher bug in RSS applet that was fixed to
the latest release
 (once it got a feed item with
 "a strange" URL, the applet always crashed (Desktop) immediately after
 applet had been loaded by the Desktop).


 - Eero


 PS. In gnome Desktop the crasher bugs in panel applets are not so fatal
 because they are run as separate processes.  You notice this easily
from the Gnome desktop
 memory usage...

This how-to seems out of date. I was unable to get the
kernel-source-2.6.12.3.

Does anyone know the correct version or how I could find it? Thanks.

[maemo-developers] Rebuilding rootfs image

[Erin Stadler]

I found the how-to on modifying the root file system confusing and  was
unsuccessful in the last step as it was unclear what .tgz file I should be
pointing too. Has anyone been successfully modifying and rebuilding their
root file system? If yes, is there better documentation somewhere else that
I have not found or can you send some pointers my way. Thanks.

Did you up grade to the IT 2006 OS before flashing the developer rootfs? 
I think you need to do that first before you flash the 2.0 dev rootfs.

info on Internet Tablet 2006 is at: 
http://www.maemo.org/downloads/releases.html#maemo20

Also you should not need to modify the rootfs just to flash it.

Hope that helps,

[maemo-developers] ROOTFS

[Erin Stadler]

Hi,
I have been struggling the last 2 days to get the development root
file system running on my 770. I flashed the rootfs you can download and the
unit would not come up. I then tried following the remaining directions at
http://www.maemo.org/platform/docs/howtos/howto_use_flasher_rootfs.html
but found them some what confusing and was not able to perform the last
command. What are the second set of steps accomplishing? What are you having
to rebuild that isn't in the downloaded image. I would appreciate any help
anyone can give. I am eager to get started on some projects. Thanks.
