Hey,
this attempts to be an delta to the last week.
What new stuff did I do:
- Many Qtopia cleanups, removing cruft, disabling broken code,
fixing funny race conditions and assumptions on time, their
execution order and completion time. Started to play with valgrind
and fixed what it reported, fixed a bug I introduced myself because
I didn't understand the intention of the code
- Disabled ALSA 'toying' code for the X11 build, we can not set the volume
from Qtopia. Relative volume settings were broken, the other code broken
by design. I will reenable it once I can work on the sound scenario API
- I got a 2nd SIM card and started intensive testing of calls, reciving,
dropping, them.
- Made the GStreamer media-engine compile for X11, the video 'sink' is
really basic and as the commit message says we don't even care. With
Qt4.4 this issue is solved anyway with phonon, so I did not waste any
time here. We want the GStreamer media-engine to play ringtones, and
e.g. use the pulseaudio sink of GStreamer.
- Did some OpenEmbedded work as well, integrated Stefan's network manager
stuff fixed some bugs on top of that.
- Some fun on the kernel side of things to not get too annoyed by Qtopia
- Filed Qtopia bugs upstream. The publics ones are the following and
can be viewed using their task tracker interface: 206107, 206094, 206089,
206080, 206078, 206073, 206071, 206069, 206064, 206062, 206059,
206052. The severity of the bugsis different. Some are purely cosmetic
(I sincerly believe ugly code does not work), some interesting issues
on X11, valgrind errors, bad coding standard (assuming stuff...)
What did others do (related to my work):
- Enlazar added to OE by Stefan
- Raster has been hacking on his keyboard, he seems to be happy with
approach he has taken.
- Made unaligned memory access in efreet_mime go away, I updated gdb
to gdb 6.8 on this way.
- Dodji has been fighting the command queue of glamo and we now have
an EXA enabled xserver going?
- Graeme started the ugly work on the Qtopia recipe. Keep going mate!
Now really on to the delta...
Unchanged, slightly progressed:
- Headset stuff is untested, a headset is on my way. We need alsa state
files for that as well
- Suspend/Resume, fixed one bug in Qtopia, the TI/Calypso should now be
in a good state for suspend, so we will only wakeup from call + sms
*fingers crossed*
- Jittering of the touchscreen, didn't do anything yet.
- Illume/E gadget for Signal Strength, nothing done yet
- Suspend/Resume/Screenlock from e, well, we need to do our homework here,
but there is nothing critical there (Qtopia is prepared).
- Sound volume: The Qtopia mediaplayer can play music using GStreamer,
the state file I have for gsmhandset is wrong, I need to verify that I
really have the gold one.
- Phone handling: I'm testing. I probably hit timing bugs in the Qtopia code,
sometimes a call gets reported as missed twice, or it is showing missed,
than the incoming call again.. this needs more debbuging and testing
on the device... this is a timing issue.
- The vibrator can be controlled from Qtopia, ringtones don't work yet.
comments?

PS: The Qtopia code is on git.openmoko.org, the OE changes either in
org.openmoko.dev or still in my org.openmoko.zecke.april-update branch
Something new this week, a git-shortlog of changes in my Qtopia tree
git-shortlog 05ba2206b08819dfb7c2d54c26c7c08c1602c9cb..
Holger Freyther (32):
fic/gta/neo1973: Cleanup backlight handling. Unify code, removed commented code
fic/gta/illume: Never ever set the backlight. This is not our domain
fic/gta/audio: Cleanup the code
fic/gta: Clean up messy code, use the linux/input.h do not use magic values
fic/gta: Kill dead code copy and pasted from the greenphone
fic/gta: Open Linux input events by physical address, use that for the keyboard
fic/gta: Implement by opening the device by name
fic/gta: Implement open by input_id
Add a manual test for the 'sleepy' TI/Calypso.
fic/gta/apm/suspend/resume: Alwas start the APM Bios observer
Rsync snapshot as of 4th of April 2008
fic/gta: No use to disable the amp on suspend, this needs to be done by the kernel
fic/gta/alsa: Make the bad looking code consistent...
fic/gta: Assuming that the state is missed is wrong... check for the state
fic/gta: Disable the ALSA code as it is broken by design
fic/gta: Acknowledge that the compiler is right and that leftright is not initialized
fic/gta: Obviously a wrong include
fic/gta: Be more verbose, tell if the vibrate is on or off
fic/gta: Fix the path to the vibrator device
x11: Dummy video widget to link the gstreamer backend to be able to play ringtones
fic/gta: We can use gstreamer now, use that
Merge branch 'rsync-version'
Fix some of the broken design of the DelayedWaitDialog
fic/gta: Don't assume when this operation is done but suspend when it is done
Revert "fic/gta: Assuming that the state is missed is wrong... check for the state"
x11: Mark the CallScreen as Qtopia widget to get the soft menu
valgrind: mType is not initialized. the QCallList::Type enum lacks an uninitialized value..
valgrind: Calling deregisterCall after QModemCall is gone is evil
valgrind: Initialize callState...
fix possible crash, inconsistent record handling
[phone] Add a way to get back to the callscreen if it was left.
[phone] The wait dialog is doing more harm than aynthing else => remove
