Woot - I'm trying the opkg update ; opkg upgrade approach now. I look forward to the improvements a lot.<br><br>One question - is the 'bind-home' approach documented somewhere? Both google and searching on the wiki haven't helped me find info on how to set this up. I've actually got om2009 on my sd-card right now, so it isn't something I need right away - but I think I'm getting confident enough in OM2009 that I'll soon ditch the QtE install I've been keeping for 'emergencies' on the built-in flash.<br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
There have been some major show stoppers fixed in the last week. As<br>
usual there are additional instructions here.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2009" target="_blank">http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Om2009</a><br>
<br>
There is also a new page for community involvement. Many of these wishlist<br>
items need someone to implement them. If you are interested in in owning one<br>
of the wishlist items come and join #paroli or send me an email<br>

<br>
Careful attention was paid to package versioning so opkg update opkg upgrade<br>
*might* work. You must also do "rm -r /home/root/.e".<br>
<br>
If you want to preserve your settings with flashing the full image use the<br>
bind-home method.<br>
<br>
New features<br>
<br>
Settings available from the main screen<br>
Improved call handling - should limit races in oeventsd<br>
Better list handling<br>
More consistent interface<br>
New paroli-serenity theme, This is for the most part a copy of Joel Newkirk's<br>
serenity theme<br>
Static MAC addresses for usb devices<br>
Ability to cut 30 seconds off boot time<br>
- DO NOT use this if you use bind-home<br>
- install udev-static-devices to get this speed boost<br>
Keyboard goes away after use<br>
Updated /etc/network/interfaces to give usb0 a metric<br>
<br>
Known issues<br>
<br>
If you use bind-home make sure it is on a journaling filesystem such as ext 3<br>
<br>
Before install this release backup your contacts in ~/.paroli/ as there have<br>
been some reports of contacts being deleted. One bug relating to missing<br>
contacts has been fixed but there's a chance that there is another one. Also<br>
make sure your home directory is on a journaling filesystem<br>
<br>
Some oeventsd rules are ignored ( framework oeventsd problems )<br>
- don't suspend while plugged in <a href="http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ticket/381" target="_blank">http://trac.freesmartphone.org/ticket/381</a><br>
- work around unplug usb until LED goes out, then plug usb in ( need to keep<br>
the device awake by touching the screen until the LED comes back on)<br>
<br>
connman doesn't give a default route to wifi if usb0 already is the default<br>
route<br>
-work around either "ifdown usb0" from a terminal or<br>
"route del default gw 192.168.0.202"<br>
<br>
Bugs fixed<br>
<br>
after editing contacts - some contacts erased<br>
no suspend after phone call FSO 435<br>
Parts of frameworkd stop working FSO 416<br>
improper battery level in illume<br>
Keyboard collapses after use<br>
