Description=QtMoko is a Debian-based distribution for the Openmoko Freerunner phone. Phone and user interface are based on QT Extended, formerly known as Qtopia. Currently QtMoko is provided with two kernels - one vanilla andy-tracking with debugging stuff and one with stripped config. The first one is slow but stable. The second one is fast, but it can have problems with switching to QVGA (WSOD) and sometimes wifi does not work (Suspend/resume can fix it). You can decide which one you want to use. Just flash your favourite kernel (for jffs image) or change the symlink in /boot (for SD card image). There is a dirty hack for displaying undelivered SMS - you have to restart Qtopia. As for the changes - credits go to Jeroen for fixing bugs and Esteban for translations, thanks a lot! Changes from previous version:
 +
* Spain translation (Esteban Monge)
 +
* Fixed compiling on systems with QT 4.6
 +
* Fixed freeze while removing wifi-settings (Jeroen Nijhof)
 +
* Fixed bing fonts in SMS email and others (Jeroen Nijhof)
 +
* Fixed saving suspend interval in power management (Jeroen Nijhof)
 +
* NeronGPS and Arora in default instalation
 +
* Removed some demos and not working apps
 +
* QX now suspends on call or when SMS arrives
 +
* Workaround for incomming SMS bug
 +
* Two kernels. Slow with debug, fast with nodebug

QGPSLog.png QGPSLog 0.1.99

QGPSLog is a GPS logging GUI that uses FSO for GPS and power control. It's simple and never supposed to get a map. Main target was to do track logging (start,stop,split) and avoid supsend when logging. You can specify a minimum battery capacity needed to log, otherwise it will stop logging.

Application Updates

Elmdentica.png elmdentica 0.8.0

Elmdentica is a simple Identi.ca client made with Elementary. It's easy to use, and it will be even easier to setup. After installing you need to add your accounts. Recent changes are:

  • a bit more polished screens and exciting new features:
  • you can have more than one account, and if you have many accounts, only a few of them enabled or disabled quickly.
  • you have a messages and posts cache (albeit the last one is still incomplete)

  • Golden Delicious Computers GmbH&Co. KG have done another upgrade and are now the first to sell the new variant GTA02A7+. The difference to the A7 is that the #1024 rework ("recamping bug") has already been applied. Therefore the A7+ device now has a much longer standby time in the case that the Calypso GSM modem goes to sleep mode. The company still offers the rework of #1024 bug.
