Hi,
well it's quite stable, but not rock stable, at least not for me :( I had 
encountered problem that the phone wouldnt wake with POWER button. So i tried 
call from another phone. The screen turned on, but was unresponsive. I tried 
connecting USB, but this did not work too.

No. It needs to be there only once. I messed it in the rootfs howto while 
trying to figure list of modules needed. It shouldnt hurt, but once is enough. 
Fixed this in git now.

Hmm maybe i can take a look.

These are just shell scripts. But yes, with GUI helper tool they could work 
like this. I implemented tool for showing QT message boxes already here:

https://github.com/radekp/qtmoko/tree/master/src/tools/qui

maybe extending this with sliders could work.
