The problem is:<br>This is afaik not a fix but a workaround which costs battery power.<br>So I think there should be two kernels:<br>One with and one without this patch.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/12/7 John Lee <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:john_lee@openmoko.com">john_lee@openmoko.com</a>></span><br>

<br>
Team status update:<br>
<br>
As in<br>
<a href="http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-December/036792.html" target="_blank">http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-December/036792.html</a><br>
(send/receive files via bluetooth in NEO), Erin keeps working on<br>
bluetooth. Jeremy fixed some qtopia and location bugs, and will<br>
continue learning more about kernel. The GTK redraw problem is fixed<br>
now (#1946) so Julian will be back to help with the Paroli edje files<br>
and keeps working on python. Olv is having kernel fun now, but since<br>
it's gta03 related, you probably won't see him a lot on the public<br>
kernel list. Tick mostly worked on opkg this week. Basically there<br>
are two big issues:<br>
<br>
* Incorrect behavior: as Tick indicated on devel list, there are still<br>
some logical error in opkg, which caused some problems during<br>
upgrade. That's why I have to use the -force-overwrite option in my<br>
previous upgrade howto.<br>
<br>
* Efficiency: opkg is obviously not very efficient, both in memory and<br>
in speed.<br>
<br>
Maybe we could expect another opkg release soon.<br>
<br>
<br>
Qtopia:<br>
<br>
OM is moving more focus to gta03 now, so my current resource for<br>
qtopia is fairly limited. Currently the things I want to fix most<br>
are:<br>
<br>
* UCSD problem<br>
* Window focus (soft menu disappear, problems when multiple sms come<br>
in, etc.)<br>
* Partial import of sim contacts.<br>
<br>
Please suggest if anything missing and I'll arrange my priorities.<br>
<br>
<br>
There are several good things worth mentioning last week:<br>
<br>
* The infamous WSOD (#1841) seems to be solved. It's already in<br>
testing repo. Praise for all helped in this!<br>
<br>
* GTK redraw problem (#1946) solved along with similar problem in qt<br>
with an illume patch. Thanks, Raster!<br>
<br>
<br>
p.s. It seems my last update might have created an impression that<br>
the only way to try the testing repo is to upgrade from Om2008.9.<br>
It's not true. Another way is to flash directly from<br>
<a href="http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/" target="_blank">http://downloads.openmoko.org/daily/testing/</a><br>
if you don't mind reflash the phone.<br>
<br>
another p.s. Someone in OM kindly reminds me that my post can create<br>
inappropriate impressions, because although the logic is correct, the<br>
words and tongues might be misleading. My native language is Chinese<br>
(and I'm a master of words and tongues in Chinese), so it's kind of<br>
difficult for me to enhance this. All I can do is encouraging you to<br>
go ahead and ask if anything unclear, and keep in mind I'm a Taiwanese<br>
engineer when you read this. ;)<br>
<br>
