My name is Graziano Sorbaioli and I am a free software activist.
Device:
- Neo Freerunner A7+ bought from Golden delicious (highly recommended! Shipment to Italy in 3 working days)
- SHR LITE Testing
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 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.
Some random ideas:
Boot Time
How long do both phones take to be up and running? (aka cold start)
HTC Dream (Android 1.6 + cyanogenmod rom 4.5) about 2 minutes
Neo Freerunner A7+ (SHR LITE Testing - 2010 25th January) 1,40 minutes
Suggestions for SHR
- small keyboard - it should fit the side borders of the screen, larger buttons
- opkg graphic application (om-showroom app?)
- notifications: currently I see them only when I wake up the phone pressing the power button.
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)
- automatically detect wifi networks and login to a chosen default one (via mokonnect?)
- tab menu to switch between dialer, contacts and call logs
- "copy to sim" button inside the contact details window
- SHR FULL should have ventura browser, calendar, email, music, vocal recorder apps preinstalled
- SHR LITE should have at least the calendar app preinstalled
- long press in home screen = background choice
Feedback
- SIM application Toolkit aka SAT support
<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
