Selling my Neo 1973

2008-06-28 Thread Igor Foox
Hi, I've had a Neo 1973 since they shipped first a while ago. Unfortunately I never had the time to hack on it, or to play around with it sufficiently to make the purchase worth while. So I decided to sell the device so that someone else might use it. I'm asking for $150 (Canadian or US). I'm lo

Some feedback from using the neo as a phone for a day

2007-10-14 Thread Igor Foox
Yesterday (and today) I used the neo as a phone for the first time, after gsm started mostly working out of the box. I'm really excited about this development and I think that it marks a huge milestone for the project. So congratulations to everyone who worked so hard on this project! I've got a l

Flashing a new kernel under Mac OS X

Hi, I've successfully used Nikolaus Schaller's AJZaurusUSB and OpenMoko Flasher applications to flash a new rootfs onto my new Neo. But I can't flash a new kernel into it. When I try flashing a kernel with OpenMoko Flasher it tries to write it into the rootfs partition instead of the ker

Hi all, When I first booted the phone after flashing the kernel + rootfs, I didn't calibrate the touch screen properly, and then when trying to mess around with the stylus I somehow managed to mess up the gnome theme. The current state is that there are no icons showing up and instead I have littl

That may be a great thought, but there's no way it would actually work until there's working software + hardware. It seems that there's hardware that kinda works already. But from what I've seen the phone can't even properly make calls yet. Igor On 6/6/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> w
