    Still alive ;)

    I am still alive. I am preparing an article on how I think graphical user interfaces on (small ~3”) mobile devices should look like for about two weeks now and i am unable to get it ready, as there are innovations every day—and interesting news like OpenMokos' April Software Update, which change some things around concerning existing solutions.

    HTC Universal on Debian with X

    My Universal is on Debian Lenny / Titchy Mobile again and it is working great (of course), even X is working. Debian is a nice distribution, and I really like it, since I first tried it. But there was one thing I did not like since that first time: relatively old packages—I prefer to be relatively near to bleeding edge, if there is a new release, I want to try it out soon.

    Time as a problem

    My HTC Universal runs with Angstrom again, after a short look at Debian (Titchy Mobile), which I'll use again as soon as there is a working X-Server—because htcunid is a great daemon; phone calls and even GPRS connection are no problem—I tried to integrate it into my Angstrom minimalist GPE image (autobuild unstable), but wasn't successful yet: I didn't notice phone calls, the caller could not hear me and SMS receiving did not work as on debian as well.

    A910 firmware: Number of features to integrate is proportional to number of problems

    Sometime ago I wrote about cross-compiling VPNC—it wasn't too hard. But it does not seem to work as it cannot use the WiFi connection—like wget, if I start it from my terminal.

    Mount jffs2 codegroups (CG35, CG36) on your PC

    I just write this how to, as it was quite hard to find an explanation for this.

    Plans for further A910 development

    I don't have too much time, no. But I want the A910 to become popular (as it is quite cheap and does well as a Linux WiFi phone now), this is why I decided yesterday that I will try to spend some time at A910 “testing” firmware every week and rollout a weekly release on Wednesday. Why Wednesday? It's just the best day, I guess—of course I will not create that firmware on Wednesday, but while the weekend—it shouldn't be to hard to have a working version on Wednesday.
