My name is Graziano Sorbaioli and I am a free software activist.
My Neo:
My goals:
I want to hack on the Freerunner in the fields of usability and User Interface.
I own an HTC Dream with Android 1.6 and CyanogenMod-4.2.14 rom.
Since the stability and maturity of the Dream and Android I am going to compare it to the Freerunner to see differences and where we can improve.
When I bought my Neo the traveller pouche was not included in the package so I had to buy one separately. In Italy I was able to find a good one called "Tucano Rapida Camera Bag extra small". It's made for cameras but the Neo fits good in it.
How long do both phones take to be up and running? (aka cold start) I will try to keep this section updated.
~ 2 minutes
1,40 minutes
All apps in android are finger friendly, what about SHR testing?
possible solutions:
functioning rotation (omnewrotate) included by default + illume keyboard (i INSTALLED OMNEWROTATE BUT ILLUME KEYBOARD DISAPPEARS WHEN FREERUNNER IS IN LANDSCAPE MODE)
OR
different larger keyboard (literki?)
NOTE: someone opened a thread about changing illume keyboard to a different one by default
I vote for YES. +1. :)
it requires more pressure than usual, scrolling is not smooth
Gnutoo says it can't be fixed because it is related to the type of touchscreen display used.
I don't think it's a good place. We should have them on the upper bar (as android) or in the lower buttons (as mac os mobile)
omnewrotate and literki
The current maintained GUI for opkg is called "shr-installer" but it failed to install.
Its maintainer, dos1, is fixing it.
<DocScrutinizer> graziano: that SIM applications. Not supported by FSO <DocScrutinizer> it's complex, and most devels agree on we don't want to have to disable it, once FSO has implemented it <DocScrutinizer> as you don't have real control over that crap
I tried installing some games using SHR Testing and opkg.
