Hi Rajiv, your plan seems to have good goals, but is missing some understanding of what you can and cannot do. You cannot run Sugar (a Python-based window manager, based on traditional Linux sw stack) on the Android stack. Way too different. To reach your goals, however, you could try something

I'm sorry! Looks like I misread your name. A faux pass typical of borderline autistic people -- get all the technical details clearly, mess up the other person's name. Hope the technical part was useful. No offense intended. cheers, martin On Tue, Dec 11, 2012 at 3:12 PM, RJV wrote: > Thanks,

My experience is that OFW warns if no external power is present. But it seems to be silent on the main display about the low battery reflash failure condition unless you attempt to reflash firmware from the "ok" prompt, or are not in the TS=SHIP (and therefore in a verbose boot) state. On Tue, D

My experience is that Speak and TamTam work, but Record, Scratch, and eToys do not. I suspect this is either an interface approach or a sampling rate issue. If I try to sample at the wrong rates with arecord & aplay I get no audio back at all. Attempting to change the dmix rate from 44.1 kHz to 4

Implement a shell -- replacing the standard Android shell -- that has the main features of Sugar shell This looks like the nearest to what I hope to achieve - the same experience of the XO on a hand-held device especially the Ad-Hoc networking. Jv On Wed, Dec 12, 2012 at 2:01 AM, Martin Langhof
