Hi everybody, I've played with my OpenMoko phone in the late hours of the last week and this is a small report of what I've done and liked.
I've decided I want to do without the panel, it's to small for my fingers, so I removed it. This meant removing the openmoko-panel-applet which (to my surprise) actually handled the Aux button function. I now added: To ~/.xsession: xmodmap -e 'keycode 177 = XF86ApplicationLeft' To ~/.matchbox/kbdconfig: XF86ApplicationLeft=next This allows me to switch programs with the aux buttons (alt-tab). As part of my default session I start the launcher I created earlier (lf-launch with --noclose), xclock (ugly, need a better one) and zhone. My current plans include: - Create something to kill applications (SIGTERM) when AUX is pressed for a longer period (maybe as part of auxlaunch, but I have not been able to contact the author yet). - Rewrite openmoko-panel-applet to make it a full-screen application instead of an applet. - Get the code for a good and useful dialer, so I can start using it as a phone without depending on zhone. - Find/code a separate messaging application to do text messaging. - Find a good base theme to make everything beautiful. - Find out if there is something like a see-through full-screen keyboard which appears when I enter a text-field and weather that would be nice to use. Help with any of these points or just rants or comments are very welcome. Greets!
