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


Finger Friendly

All apps in android are finger friendly, what about SHR testing?

NOT OK

  • keyboard too small!

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. :)


  • scrolling pages in all apps

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.

OK

  • slide
  • opening apps in home screen
  • making a call
  • phone log
  • alarm setting
  • calculator
  • mokonnect scanning wifi networks
  • SHR Settings
  • browsing with Ventura



Suggestions for SHR

  • 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?)
  • clock shows wrong time after reboot (you set it, save, reboot and it shows the wrong time)
  • 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

  • small keyboard - it should fit the side borders of the screen, larger buttons

omnewrotate and literki


  • opkg graphic application (om-showroom app?)

Wait for dos1 to fix shr-installer app.



  • 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
