My current setup:

  • Host: booph.local
  • Hardware model: GTA02v5
  • Hardware changes:
    • buzzfix
    • tape trick for easy removal of battery and microSD
  • SIM card: none
  • GSM flash: firmware updated to moko11
  • NOR flash: original u-boot
  • NAND flash:
    • u-boot partition: newer u-boot
    • u-boot_env partition:
      • customised u-boot environment:
        • menu items for different OSes on microSD
        • always start in menu (stop_in_menu=yes)
    • splash partition: apt-get anarchism image
    • rootfs partition: old version of Qt Extended
    • kernel partition: 2.6.24
  • broken microSD -> SD adapter
  • 4GB microSD card
    • booph-boot: /boot partition for Debian kernels since u-boot seems picky about certain partitions
    • booph-qtei: Qt Extended Improved, old version, unused
    • booph-debian: Debian, E17, unused
    • booph-home: /home partition shared between distros
    • booph-om-fdom: FDOM, unused
    • booph-fso-shr: pre-xorg SHR-unstable, used often, often broken
      • Mofi to connect to wireless
      • some games
  • host system

Workarounds:

Disable the ffvorbis mplayer audio codec because it is too slow and the vorbis one works, add a line "ac=-ffvorbis," in ~/.mplayer/config.

Wishlist:

  • SIM card, once I figure out a suitable provider and distro
  • new microSD -> SD adapter
  • 8GB/16GB microSD card
  • mod some headphones to have 2.5mm and 3.5mm jacks
  • drop FDOM, Qt Extended Improved
  • install QtMoko in Debian partition once they have an apt repository
  • kexec-based intermediary bootloader and rescue system for NAND flash based on Debian, perhaps EFL based or use petitboot
  • switch to primarily using Debian
  • consider switching away from FSO towards lindi's setup
  • binary firmware pokage
  • keyboard sanity
  • data sync strategy
  • newer kernel without WSOD or wireless issues
  • investigate GNOME mobile stuff
