Hi,
i have just uploaded QtMoko on debian v11 images to

http://activationrecord.net/radekp/qtmoko/download/

MD5 sums:

2d15b193258de441789564b4f81a1da2  qtmoko-debian-v11.jffs2
2ac2b4b5cf28cf4b46f1c6be7cb0063c  qtmoko-debian-v11.tar.gz
2e4998463523afed3d16b64a7f09ee10  uImage-v11.bin

The rootfs is based on v9 version, because in v10 there was problem with
setting date/time. However all enhancements from v10 are there (more
memory, faster start...) so this is not downgrade.

There is also greatly improved X application support (QX) thanks to
Anton Olkhovik. QX can now scan for .desktop files and you can add
installed applications from GUI. It also displays application icons and
you can also enable/disable suspend, screen dimming, GPS usage for each
app.

As always thanks everybody for feedback and Anton for great work.

Cheers

Radek

Excellent,Thanks Radek.

Seems to work ok so far.

Is there a better web browser though? The one in the menu still gets killed when I try to load say 
http://wolfman.com, and http://dogz.us just shows a blank screen. The fonts are so small on most 
other sites it is impossible to read without a magnifying glass :)

I think this one was a demo they put there to show webkit in action.

Thanks
Jim

Long term plan is to use arora. Looks very nice and uses QtWebkit so it
shouldnt be that hard to port it.

Regards

Radek

Yes I like links2 but how do you set it up to run from the FR when it is a console app?

I'll take a look at it, is it being ported? if not I can try to port it.

Looked at it they dropped support for qte 4.4, it only supports qt4.5 now, I'll see if I can get an 
older version, and build that.

Yea I wish :)

Has anyone started a port of 0.8.0 to qtExtended 4.4? ie created the qbuild.pro files etc?

Is it worth starting a fork from 0.8.0 (the last version to support 4.4) and move forward with 
porting it to qtextended?

You can start with porting the latest 0.9.0 because we are using QT
4.5.2

If all goes well then it would just involve writing qbuild.pro files.

Regards

Radek

links2 is the fastest web browser so far, I use it daily on the freerunner.
You may build it with directfb and/or X11 support... then netsurf seems to
be faster than dillo...

I wouldn't mind it gone from the distro I think it sucks. Remember
  qtmoko is on debian so everything in debian is available to us.
  apt-get install iceweasel (firefox with free graphics) but that's overkill (and slow) on a phone. Try midori, I
 think it's a little bloated for the freerunner, but it does the job.
Dillo[1] is my favourite but I can't seem to find it in the repos- even
the old version based on gtk was really fast. Dillo2 uses fltk2- it's
damn fast and fairly pretty. [1] Also has an opk that you may be able to
extract and execute, but I haven't had the chance to test it out
myself.

I totally agree on using other browser, with the power of Debian, we can
use pretty everything with Apt, that's why i like a lot QtMoko! :-)

However it's not a bad idea to purge out from the QtMoko base
installation all the software that sucks like, that said,  this
QtExtended default browser that, in fact, it's not usable for Web
browsing (but also the QtGPSdemo... and other default QtExtended
software pretty useless).

I think it's not bad to insert as a default browser Midori or, like you
said, Dillo, or any other Browser finger friendly, fast, usable, and
stable. And as default software pre-installed, i think also it's pretty
a must to insert a very good mixer (QalsaMixer) to fine tune calls volume.

The problem with all of the suggestions above is that, great as it is that 
QtMoko is now able to run any app, also those based on X, is that well... They 
feel out of place. It's really nice to be able to do it, but a core feature 
(such as web browser arguably is these days in a smart device like the 
freerunner) really needs to be integrated. The thing is, the web browser 
currently doesn't do what's needed - but that does not mean that it's 
unfixable.

Is it my imagination or does the battery indicator not work properly?

It shows charging OK when USB is plugged in, but when not charging, it always shows full, even when 
it is about 50%.

Hi,

I just finished installing QtMoko v11 on my FreeRunner. (My "upgrade" method
consists of bot from nand, mkfs.ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p2 + install + restore a
few files from backup)

A quick question:
I get these messages in /var/log/messages after boot:
Sep 22 20:47:11 neo Qtopia: Unable to register with BlueZ service manager...

Sep 22 20:47:11 neo kernel: [21474747.875000] Bluetooth: SCO (Voice Link)
ver 0.6
Sep 22 20:47:11 neo kernel: [21474747.875000] Bluetooth: SCO socket layer
initialized
Sep 22 20:47:11 neo Qtopia: Unable to register with BlueZ service manager...

Sep 22 20:47:11 neo last message repeated 4 times

Are they important?
