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: qi
  • 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: empty
  • kernel partition: empty
• 16GB microSD card
  • booph-debian: Debian, E17, QtMoko, mostly unused
  • booph-shr: SHR-unstable, used often, often broken
  • booph-home: /home partition shared between distros
  • booph-scratch: scratch partition for trying other distros
• host system
  • Debian GNU/Linux laptop
    • Plug-and-Play_USB_Networking with a slightly better dispatcher script

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. Bug filed: http://bugs.debian.org/550572

Wishlist:

• SIM card, once I figure out a suitable provider and distro
• mod some headphones to have 2.5mm and 3.5mm jacks
• 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 wireless issues
• investigate GNOME mobile stuff
