System boot.png qspectemu

Radek Polak have just finished porting of Miklos Szeredi's spectemu - A Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for Linux/UNIX, to Qt on Freerunner. It's now in QtMoko package feed if you want to try it or you can compile from sources for your favourite distro. The main work was port to Qt, possibility to use touchscreen and creating GUI for loading/saving snapshots and creating mouse/touchscreen bindings. For QtMoko you will need v17 kernel to get decent speed. Emulator can now do following:

  • download my favourite games from internet
  • load/save snapshot
  • define custom on screen locations for spectrum keys
  • rotate, qvga
  • vibrate to notice if pressed border location of two keys
  • use virtual keyboard for input (longer press requited for some games)
  • autocorrect on screen key location during game playing

Package: QSpectemu binares are included in QtMoko default package feed, sources are in GIT repository.
Tested on: QtMoko

Podboy.png Podboy 1.2.0

Podboy is a podcast aggregator/player written in Python/Elementary. Its interface aims to be easy and finger friendly. It uses Feedparser Python module for download/parsing of podcast feeds, Gstreamer for playing of episodes and SQLite for storing data. Changes since version 1.0.0:

  • New feature: possibility to show details of episodes before to play them via a new entry "Show Details" in the menu "Actions" of pages "Episodes" and "Downloads".
  • New feature: update only the selected podcast in page "Downloads".
  • New feature: episodes can now be tagged as "Ignore" in page "Downloads". All episodes with status "ignore" will be skip when the downloading of all episodes of a podcast will be requested.
  • New feature: unplayed episodes can now be identified by a yellow star. Unplayed/played status of episodes can be manually toggled via a new entry "Toggle Played Status" in the menu "Actions" of page "Episodes".
  • New feature: import of podcasts via an OPML file (new button "Import" in the page "Podcasts")
  • Fixed occasionnaly incorrect display size of podcasts covers.

Literki.png Literki 0.0.2-r6

Literki is a full qwerty keyboard with configurable layout, always transparent, therefore applications don't need to redraw screens and popup is therefore very fast. With literki comes the touchpad. With it use can use the bottom of the touchscreen to move a cursor around. You can then use left and right click with it. There are also four scroll buttons, which are useful if your application has very small scroll bars. Changes from previous version are:

  • page up, page down keys work now
  • $ key works now
  • can toggle between opaque and transparent mode

Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc..

  • Harald Welte is planning to create a GSM development board based on 100% open hardware design and 100% free software. The initial focus is to create a board that behaves like a GSM cellphone. This could be interesting for the gta02-core project.
  • SHR update:

SHR is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution for smartphones and is the most popular Operating System for the Freerunner. It has not made a stable release yet, but enjoys continuous development, and this is an update on all the great work that has been done recently. Unstable and testing images are available for both the Freerunner, and Neo 1973. A list of notable updates:

A substantial FSO upgrade is hitting SHR. The reimplementation of FSO API's in Vala is progressing, and is providing significant improvements in speed. Specifically, SHR-U now features fsodeviced, fsousaged and fsonetworkd. The upgrade also introduces a more elegant system of separate configuration files for each daemon in etc/freesmartphone/*.

Images are now available for ubifs, in addition to jffs and ext. ubifs promises improved performance, as well as smarter logic of uSD wear.

The discussion about faster kernels is also affecting SHR; (MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE) is already pushed in. Experimental kernels (2.6.29-rc3-drm, 2.6.31, 2.6.32) are available for testing at: http://build.shr-project.org/tests/mrmoku/kms/images/om-gta02/
