I tried this distribution out with Illume so that I could get a keyboard and a few other things that I needed. It would crash every 10 minutes or so with messages that Enlightment had seg faulted. I tried the hacks to make it stop and got it to run for an hour or so. Then I gave up and went back to the QT Extended distribution.
Here are notes that I made while testing. As of Jan 22 2009:
- OM2008.12 on the internal flash.
- Qi bootloader
There are lots of good notes at http://www.teaparty.net/technotes/openmoko-3.html
First time through I had to boot from NOR, seems happy with Qi now. Boot time is quick now, that is very good.
The phone works. I got my first junk phone call last night. Network connection came right up. But the damn phone goes to sleep... in settings, change Suspend to OFF if you want to ssh into the phone for more than 60 seconds!
Keyboard
OM default theme has a useless keyboard. I tried the hack on teaparty.net to change to Illume but the phone kept crashing. Now I am trying the suggestion to install the package as described in Method 1 at http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Keyboard_Toggle thusly: " opkg install illume-config". This did nothing.
Then I did both the change from ASU to Illume described in teaparty AND the change suggested in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Community_Updates/December_29th%2C_2008#Tips_and_tricks to turn off drop shadows. It did not help. Enlightenment still crashes.
Did the /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia addtion too: "export QTOPIA_NO_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD=1"
Changing the "Engine" in the enlightenment config from SOFTWARE_16 to SOFTWARE. So far it has not crashed since doing this.
GPRS
Support for simultaneous data + voice calls
opkg install gsm0710muxd
Configuration for T-Mobile - ??? http://www.teaparty.net/technotes/openmoko-2.html#GPRS
Other changes
I installed wallpaper per teaparty.net suggestions.
opkg install tangogps
