Just to let everybody know: Andrew (radagast) found the issue at hand,
and it's a oneliner fix (something about not needing to use a
monotonic clock) . See
http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/11
I now have a qtextended 4.4.3 installation with the following extra:
- working wifi (even after suspend/unsuspend)
- alarms on time (for alarms app, but probably also for calender
alarms)
- mp3 support (albeit laggy if the touchscreen is used)
- qterminal (I don't use it, but hey ...)
Now the following issues remain:
- better keyboard (for me, but that's not a real issue). I've already
tweaked the settings a bit to get something better, see
http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/10
- voice notes app not recording (seems to be an alsa-state thing)
- voicemail service number not saved across reboots
- 2.6.28 compatibility, for better battery usage and maybe some other
fixes (please, somebody please tell me why 2.6.28 is better for the
neo)
I'm hoping to have a crack at the voicemail number problem, but see
http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/15
If anybody is interested in my qtextended image, I can put a tar.gz
file online if wanted ...
