which android do you use for now? cupcake or froyo?
i don't know cupcake (anymore), but qtmoko is faster than froyo (just from
feeling, i didn't measuring it). :)
if you don't know it: you could have more than one system on your moko, so
it's easy to try.. ;)

Hi, Tom,
Here QtMoko is instant.
The feeling of touchscreen is much better with .34's driver without
filtering, i never have that 'missing' clicks than i have to reclick
which were real pain (for me) on early openmoko.
I don't know if Radek supply Qi with 2-4-2, but i am using 2-4-2
bootloader, and in fact scrolling is smooth (except inital loading
pictures, but it's acceptable even in that moment) and response to
clicks is just ...

i did try cupcakes. since i dont have any experience with qt, i was just
wondering how the 'under the finger scroll/touch/response' speed is. not
sure if real numbers would make such a decision easier ;-)
thx !!!

Hi Tom. Android on FreeRunner is pretty new, as is Replicant on
FreeRunner.
QtMoko is fairly stable and responsive. It improves every release. I've
been using v26 for a while and was planning to install v31 later today.
One thing of note: qtmoko leaves contacts on the SIM which can be slow
(there is some local storage for numbers you have added on the phone
itself).
If you don't find QtMoko to your liking you can try out SHR or
Hackable::1, etc. There's some choice here - an amount that's ...

Hi, Tom,
Just try it.
And which version of android you tried? I think 2-4-2 (since September
probably) and FIFO depth (since something like Ferbruary 2010) improved
speed significantly, so may be worth trying newer version of android.
Gennady.

| Neil Jerram | [UK] Experience with Vectone SIM?
I noticed today - http://www.vectonemobile.co.uk/ - what looks like an
excellent PAYG deal for the Freerunner in the UK, because for £5 per
month it means you can leave your GPRS on all the time, for random
small bits of internet usage.
I've sent off for one of their SIMs, but I wonder (1) if anyone else
already has experience with them, and (2) if there is any existing
support for tracking GPRS usage and alerting or disconnecting when it
reaches a configured total.
(I have no connection at ...

not sure, make sure you set usb to host most in dev tools, if that's not it
maybe go to log level 8 and get some more detailed info about what's wrong?
You can do this in the kernel parameters in /boot/append or in QI just press

| Hrabosh | Good evening to everyone
Hello guys,
I got my FreeRunner few weeks ago and since that I'm having fun
discovering it :-)
I had been trying OM, SHR, Debian, Android, QtMoko and decided to stay
with Qtmoko. I have v26,v30 and now v31 installed on several uSD cards
(v31 is in NAND memory).
Although QtMoko seems quite usable for Freerunner, there are still some
points where I'd like to ask you for help. But I'm already using FR with
QtMoko as my primary phone and its doing well :-)
1/ USB Host is not working in ...

| Stefan Monnier | Re: Good evening to everyone
The FreeRunner's USB port can be switched from device to host separately
on the data and power pins, so my guess is that you set its data pins to
host mode but left the power in device mode, which means that the FR
will not provide power via USB but will expect to pull power from it
instead (this is typically used together with a tweaked USB hub powered
from a power brick).
Stefan

Thank you ! Please see my comments inside...
Hrabosh: I pressed the power button (a have v31 on the NAND memory, thus
not able to use /boot/append because Qi is not reading UBI FS .. right?)
and saw kernel messages scrolling down the screen- simmilar to what I
can see when my Linux computer is booting.
USB device (ethernet mode) works fine. If i switch the phone to USB host
mode (by running the script in dev tools), message in kernel log
appears:

Hi Radek
I don't have any comment on v31 in general as I haven't tried it very
long yet. I though have some comment on the Danish translation as it
looks like some of the files doesn't get build, primarily those with
'Qtopia' in their name and I think there are some 7 files missing as I
did translate 88 but there are 'only' 81 in the folder.
I will probably do some testing now and return in the new year. :-)

Well done !
As to the keyboard: I really appreciate having arrow keys there (because
of command history in Terminal).
If you hit the very left key in the second row, another keys
(end,home,arrows..) shows up - but the same keys ale already in the
default keyboard, so now they are present twice.
What about replacing these by F1-F10 keys?
BTW ... I§m the only one having difficulties using USB host mode in v31?
Zb.

Fantastic stuff; I've placed an order. I understand that there are
lots of caveats, and to be honest I'm not sure what they add up to,
and what my expectations can reasonably be. But I can spare the
money, and I think you and your team deserve support.

As a new year's treat I threw together some instructions on how to flash
your Wikireader with a modified boot rom that will give you a
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Don't Panic splash screen.
Usual caveats apply. You can brick your machine doing this, so be careful.
