latest and greatest, progress mail 5 (stable 2.6.28 usage)

[Franky Van Liedekerke]

Just in time for the holidays ...

(install instructions and script updated on 2090410: see below)

New progress/bugs:

All Ok:
- 20090401: 2.6.28 ok (even 2.6.29-rc2 ok)
- 20090401: alarms (using atd from
  http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/armv4t/base/, since no
  newer package exists), normal + when suspended
- 20090401: wake up when receiving sms
- 20090401: call + echo check
- 20090401: missed call bug
- 20090401: duplicate sms thing: solved
- 20090401: mail ok
- 20090401: wifi ok
- 20090403: voice notes (see my mail/patch) ok
- 20090404: usb cable handling: ok (mailed a patch to Filip, I hope he
  integrates all the 2.6.28 patches and commits them)
- 20090404: bluetooth ok (need to downgrade to bluez3 and not use
  bluez4, install script updated accordingly)
- 20090410: voicemail number is now saved across reboots (see
http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/15)
- 20090410: snooze function works correctly now for repetitive alarms
  (see http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/27)

Problems (more like small nuisances now):
- sms stay on SIM as well as on phone
  ==> All sms's are stored on the phone *and* on the SIM. I don't
think that this is wanted behaviour (deleting an SMS only works on the
  SMS's stored on the phone). See
  http://trac.karadog.net/qt-extended-improved/ticket/29
- if you set the time back to something in the past, the clock service
  crashes and you need to restart qtextended if you want to use the
  clock again
- if you reboot, wlan is "online" and you need to put it offline (can
  cause battery issues)
- second call incoming needs to be checked if working ok
- bluetooth is not working totally ok, only after initial boot it
  works, not after suspend/resume. Seems to be kernel/bluez3 version
  combo issue ...
- if you try to delete the "Wireless Lan", the system crashes ... cool
  huh, a crashed phone?

=====================
