As written earlier, I’m now able to build OpenMoko in a reasonable amount of time due to the purchase of a new computer. I haven’t had time to hack that much with OpenMoko in the past week because of a busy week (we made a one-week-project in algebra, so I’m governing Knapsack, Elgamel, group-theory etc.
), but today I had some time to play.
I build a new kernel and rootf by issuing a
make update-makefile && make setup update openmoko-devel-image
Afterwards I went to
~/moko/build/tmp/deploy/glibc/images/neo1973
and flashed my device with
sudo ./dfu-util -a kernel -d 0x1457:0x5119 -R -D uImage-neo1973-latest.bin sudo ./dfu-util -a rootfs -d 0x1457:0x5119 -R -D openmoko-devel-image-fic-gta01.jffs2
The boot time was rather long compared to earlier, I guess. Not that it actually matters for me, but I noticed it, and thought that quite a lot of changes might had been made. And apparently changes had been made. At this time I’ve actually just booted the device, hence I’ve not actually found that much, but I’ve noticed these things:
- The “Today”-label has changed to “Home” (in the upper left corner), reasonable I my opinion
- I’m now able to create my phone as a network-place through SSH in Gnome; that’s nice in order to make file-management smoothly
- To today now consists of a “huge” watch, well, I like it, but I can easily imaging not everybody does, but I suppose it’s things like this that should be made customizable later on
Here’s a couple of screenshots of the glories:
