Введение
Om 2008.8 is the successor to Om 2007.2 and had ASU as a codename. It was launched on August 08, 2008. Om 2008.8 uses EFL for the launcher, custom UI applications and Qtopia on X11 for telephony. It is the first step from GTK+ on x11 to using multiple toolkits in combination. Om 2008.8 now supports EFL, Qtopia and GTK+ applications.
To see how it all got started go to Om 2008.8 Feature Plan.
Что нового
Om 2008.8 was designed to be empty, for the very purpose of showcasing your ideas.
Think of our products as galleries. We're building the environment. Each one different from the next. You'll get all the free art supplies you could imagine because we want you to add your own meaning. You choose: consume, create, or both.
Either way you create your own meaning. It's about you.
Настройка

Альтернатива: Запуск с карточки microSD

System Software
- Boot screen goes into sleep and never wake up if not touch during booting
- After long suspend, kernel thread events
- xglamo: performance decreases after a while
- Neo turns off before reaching x
Networking
- No Updates/Installation are possible or pings to domains because dns is not working. This problem occurs because the /etc/resolv.conf is empty by default.Add this line in /etc/network/interfaces:
up echo nameserver 192.168.0.200 >/etc/resolv.conf
This is to be inserted below gateway address and above the bluetooth networking. After this rebooting is required. Then go to /etc/resolv.conf and fill it manually by just using the content of this file on your local machine, or DNS address.
This should solve most off your moko side networking issues. If you need any other help please refer to USB Networking
NOTE: resolvconf is installed so should probably be used |
- Usb-networking will not work until rebooted after initial boot.
Usabillity
- The Pin-Dialog by default just shows letters. You have to slide your finger up/down over the keyboard to make the numbers/uppercase/special characters appear.
- The installer app doesn't release administrative rights which results in not being able to use opkg. Sollution: run "killall packagekitd" (on the freerunner or when ssh'ed in).
