DocScrutinizer05 | hi dos1! | 00:19 |
---|---|---|
dos1 | DocScrutinizer05: hello :) I'm hyped for your gta04-n900 idea! | 00:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | don't you think this was a nice kickoff for Neo900 (I love that project name) | 00:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | now we need to catch up the tiny initial momentum | 00:20 |
dos1 | yeah | 00:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | like making fire with a stick and a board | 00:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | needs 4 weeks of drilling, then carefully blow to boost the flame | 00:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ;-) | 00:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | 4 weeks drilling already been done, I think today I seen the first smoke | 00:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kudos for your website work! | 00:22 |
*** lexik has quit IRC | 00:22 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | mayybe start a new thread on tmo? | 00:23 |
dos1 | I'll keep fingers crossed for that flame :) it's amazing idea, can bring Openmoko and Maemo community really close for a common goal | 00:23 |
dos1 | s/community/communities/ | 00:23 |
infobot | dos1 meant: I'll keep fingers crossed for that flame :) it's amazing idea, can bring Openmoko and Maemo communities really close for a common goal | 00:23 |
*** lexik has joined #maemo | 00:24 | |
dos1 | who, me? I can do that | 00:25 |
dos1 | but maybe your name will bring more attention and trust, i'm completely unknown there | 00:26 |
lexik | what what? what i missed? | 00:26 |
dos1 | just "[23:23] <DocScrutinizer05> mayybe start a new thread on tmo?" ;) | 00:26 |
lexik | thanks | 00:27 |
lexik | dosl: that website about gta04 is nice, one day we will need similar one for Neo900 | 00:27 |
*** freemangordon has joined #maemo | 00:29 | |
*** Vlad_on_the_road has quit IRC | 00:29 | |
lexik | new thread on tmo is a good idea, as wikipage is (but that could wait) | 00:29 |
lexik | replicant will be awesome - but NITDroid team will maybe kill us (hi, e-yes).. | 00:31 |
DocScrutinizer05 | http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1369343#post1369343 here you are | 00:32 |
NeutrinoPower | hi, why don't work the gprs/gsm/umts... internet access on my N900 anymore? I tried the sim on a android-smartphone with success but on Maemo I only get an IP with gprs-device but cannot reach a website.. | 00:32 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sorry for terribly terse post, i'm really in a hurry now | 00:32 |
*** Guest23543 has joined #maemo | 00:33 | |
lexik | DocScrutinizer05: GREAT! | 00:34 |

*** dafox has quit IRC | 00:42 | |
freemangordon | no fmtx and hwkbd :( | 00:44 |
lexik | so it it will be a good idea to create an separate "maemo brick" (just like CSSU one or "help us keep on the lights") ... something like "Maemo future? You are. Neo900." | 00:45 |
*** FIQ|n900 has quit IRC | 00:45 | |
dos1 | DocScrutinizer05: posted :) | 00:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | thanked | 00:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :) | 00:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: eh? | 00:56 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: hmm, lemme read the post first, maybe I didn't get it | 00:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we build a new PCB and place it into a N900 spare case from Hongkong | 00:57 |
dos1 | freemangordon: current GTA04 has fmtx, and GTA04-N900 vel Neo900 will have hw-keyboard, because N900 case has it ;) | 00:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and a "prototype" of the new PCB already exists: GTA04 | 00:58 |
freemangordon | ok, so the idea is to use the casing and screen from n900? | 00:59 |
freemangordon | dos1: good | 00:59 |
*** rm_work is now known as rm_work|away | 00:59 | |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: well, I guess I can help with the kernel part :) | 01:00 |
kerio | freemangordon: DocScrutinizer05's plan is crazy though | 01:04 |
kerio | he wants to reuse even the closed bits | 01:04 |
freemangordon | kerio: so? | 01:05 |
Wizzup | I would prefer to use open bits only, IF possible | 01:05 |
*** bef0rd has joined #maemo | 01:05 | |
kerio | the idea is to actually tweak fremantle for the new hw | 01:05 |
Wizzup | I could probably help coding a bit, too :) | 01:05 |
kerio | and, well | 01:05 |
freemangordon | kerio: what is the problem? | 01:05 |
kerio | fremantle is a horrible linux distro | 01:05 |
freemangordon | might be, ut it is better suited for mobile computer than anything else IMO | 01:06 |
kerio | oh absolutely | 01:06 |
Wizzup | freemangordon: its mostly just debian, isn't it? | 01:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | exactly | 01:06 |
LjL-Alps | yeah, i wouldn't put money into a project that moves a weirc closed distro to new hardware, even though i spend (a small amount) of money to get the original hardware | 01:06 |
kerio | Wizzup: it's like a really outdated debian with crap laying everywhere | 01:06 |
freemangordon | Wizzup: ^^^ | 01:06 |
Wizzup | right, so why not start with debian and pull in all open packages and work from that? | 01:07 |
freemangordon | Wizzup: because we don;t have HW | 01:07 |
Wizzup | (I'm just a computer scientist without any real maemo knowledge) | 01:07 |
freemangordon | Wizzup: BTW aapo is already doing lots of stuff in that regard | 01:07 |
DocScrutinizer05 | LjL-Alps: the hardware is 100% open and free, you're free to run on it whatever you like. For 100% fremantle compatibilty though, you have to sacrifice some of your openness-requirements | 01:07 |
Wizzup | I think especially gprs is problematic to have an open version | 01:08 |
Wizzup | so for drivers it makes sense, I guess, but for user space not so much? | 01:08 |
Wizzup | DocScrutinizer05: So what does 100% fremantle compat offer vs 95% fremantle compat? | 01:08 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: if there is enough interest, we can RE/rewrite whatever we like | 01:08 |
freemangordon | Wizzup: iiuc this is still to be discussed | 01:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Wizzup: BT, WLAN, GPU | 01:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dialer | 01:09 |
Wizzup | DocScrutinizer05: sure, but those components aren't fremantle specific are they? those are just drivers | 01:09 |
Wizzup | I can expect those to be closed | 01:09 |
Wizzup | I mean, I'd hope them to be open, but yeah | 01:09 |
freemangordon | Wizzup: almost everything else is open | 01:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: (RE) sure | 01:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | just like on CSSU | 01:10 |
freemangordon | yep | 01:10 |
freemangordon | I know :P | 01:10 |
Wizzup | freemangordon: okay then :-) that seems sensible | 01:10 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: and we have FOSS rewrites of most of the important applications | 01:11 |
freemangordon | :D:D:D | 01:11 |
Sc0rpius | freemangordon, I promoted my package to extras but it says missing dependencies and that's very weird | 01:11 |
Sc0rpius | since dependencies are PR 1.3 | 01:11 |
Sc0rpius | look: http://maemo.org/packages/package_instance/view/fremantle_extras_free_armel/yappari/1.0.37/ | 01:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I'm more concerned about some libs, e.g. liblocation | 01:11 |
freemangordon | Sc0rpius: ok | 01:11 |
Sc0rpius | and that didn't happen in extras/testing or extras/devel | 01:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ICD2 | 01:11 |
DocScrutinizer05 | stuff like that | 01:11 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: liblocation is some 20k arm binary iirc | 01:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | :nod: | 01:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and ICD2 should prolly "just work" | 01:12 |
freemangordon | that 2-3 days to be REed | 01:12 |
freemangordon | *that needs | 01:12 |
LjL-Alps | DocScrutinizer05: hmm is it? i thought gta04 needed more than its fair share of proprietary firmwares, or at least the wifi one | 01:12 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, I consider firmware not any part of the OS | 01:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's a set of initialization data transfered to some peripherial chip | 01:14 |
freemangordon | Sc0rpius: I guess this is false alarm, it just says this is not compatible with PR1.0 | 01:14 |
*** eijk has quit IRC | 01:14 | |
freemangordon | Sc0rpius: did you try to install it using HAM? | 01:15 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: see, If the project starts and new developers join or "old" come back, there will be resources to do whatever we want from the SW side | 01:16 |
freemangordon | IMO | 01:16 |
*** qwazix_ has joined #maemo | 01:17 | |

DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=1369345 | 01:17 |
freemangordon | Sc0rpius: is there any problem besides those "missing dependencies"? | 01:18 |
Macer | im a bit curious tho as what there is to be gained by making a knockoff n900 | 01:19 |
Macer | unless there was some serious dev behind it. n900 at least had a nokia jump start for about a year | 01:19 |
dos1 | Macer: we want to piggy-back on work done for both N900 and Openmoko | 01:20 |
lexik | ive just posted my motivation post to Neo900 thread :) | 01:21 |
freemangordon | Macer: besides viber, what exactly fremantle lacks from the SW POV? | 01:21 |
kerio | freemangordon: recent libraries | 01:21 |
kerio | recent apt | 01:21 |
Macer | recent social apps heh | 01:22 |
kerio | Macer: don't be silly | 01:22 |
Macer | couldnt help it | 01:22 |
kerio | we've got a whatsapp clone | 01:22 |
kerio | and we have a facebook thingie | 01:22 |
*** Neutron115 has joined #maemo | 01:22 | |
Wizzup | I just tried - installing yappari seems to work | 01:22 |
Macer | a fb plugin? | 01:22 |
Wizzup | (didn't try lauching it) | 01:22 |
Wizzup | perhaps a different (older) version? | 01:22 |
Macer | for photos and im? | 01:22 |
freemangordon | kerio: CSSU has already upgraded some of the libs. ANd AFAIK aapo did the same for lots more | 01:23 |
Macer | sociality had a lot of promise but i dont think it is worked on | 01:23 |
freemangordon | Macer: there if FB photo/video uploader since ages | 01:23 |
Macer | i know | 01:23 |
freemangordon | s/if/is/ | 01:23 |
infobot | freemangordon meant: Macer: there is FB photo/video uploader since ages | 01:23 |
Macer | that is what i meant... photo uploader and im | 01:23 |
freemangordon | Macer: ooh, so you miss FB app? omg, use the browser | 01:24 |
Macer | the widget launches microb to use fb ;) there is no real app... the twitter app wasnt too bad | 01:24 |
Macer | freemangordon: there are disadvantages to that | 01:24 |
freemangordon | bullshit, we have browser, that is why we don;t need app for the next piece of crap | 01:24 |
dos1 | well | 01:25 |
Macer | ie: uses more mem, doesnt cache as well, no unnecessary js/php running etc | 01:25 |
Macer | no ads :) | 01:25 |
dos1 | Openmoko project showed that completely own software can be problematic | 01:25 |
dos1 | I'm using my Neo Freerunner with SHR as my daily, main phone | 01:25 |
Macer | how is it? | 01:25 |
dos1 | but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not as crazy geek as me | 01:25 |
freemangordon | dos1: fremantle libs can be upgraded to more recent versions IMO | 01:26 |
freemangordon | maybe not easy, but possible | 01:26 |
Sc0rpius | freemangordon, I would have to try to download the package in a stock N900 to test those dependencies won't fail | 01:26 |
dos1 | we can gain a lot by using fremantle | 01:26 |
Sc0rpius | but in my phone there's no point since I have those packages installed | 01:26 |
dos1 | to just provide something that works from the start | 01:26 |
dos1 | and then of course everything can happen, since it's free platform | 01:27 |
Macer | heh. first thing would be to get the gta04 into hands of devs | 01:27 |
freemangordon | dos1: makes sense | 01:27 |
dos1 | you can run QtMoko, SHR, Debian, Replicant - they already work on GTA04 | 01:27 |
Macer | normally nokia would do this :) | 01:27 |
Macer | so who fronts the money for these devices? devs with a cause? | 01:27 |
Macer | D.W.a.C. | 01:27 |
dos1 | you can port anything else - Fremantle would be there just as one option | 01:28 |
dos1 | for people who just want to upgrade their N900 | 01:28 |
dos1 | (at least that's how I see it) | 01:28 |
freemangordon | dos1: hmm, maybe one should contact the Cordia people. They gave up because of the lack of HW | 01:28 |
freemangordon | afaik | 01:29 |
Macer | what is the gta02 running? | 01:30 |
Macer | if an a8 is an "upgrade" heh | 01:30 |
dos1 | may be good idea | 01:30 |
Macer | armv5? | 01:30 |
freemangordon | arm11? | 01:30 |
dos1 | Macer: armv4t | 01:30 |
Macer | oh. ouch | 01:30 |
dos1 | Samsung 2442 SoC, 256MB RAM | 01:31 |
Macer | too bad symbian wasnt released to the public :( | 01:31 |
Macer | poor symbian is in russian limbo... like ecomstation | 01:31 |
jake42 | dos1: 128MB RAM iirc | 01:31 |
dos1 | jake42: ouch, right | 01:31 |
Macer | kind of cool how modular it is | 01:32 |
dos1 | stupid me :) it lays in front of me and i still can't get specs right :D | 01:32 |
Macer | although it says "peeling off the lcd" | 01:32 |
Macer | you have to peel off the lcd? | 01:32 |
dos1 | Macer: with GTA04? yup, the point is to use LCD from your old GTA01/02 with GTA04 | 01:33 |
dos1 | with Neo900 it wouldn't be the case anymore, as we can use new spare parts | 01:33 |
Macer | yeah i saw that heh. well. i have none of the above. | 01:34 |
freemangordon | Sc0rpius: iiuc Wizzup has installed it a couple of minutes ago. | 01:34 |
Macer | they dont sell them preassembled? | 01:34 |
Sc0rpius | huh? | 01:34 |
*** NeutrinoPower has quit IRC | 01:34 | |
dos1 | Macer: that's the point. GTA04 as it is now can't reach the masses, cause there's very limited number of GTA01/02 owners | 01:34 |
Sc0rpius | really? | 01:34 |
dos1 | Macer: and even more limited numbers of people interested :) | 01:34 |

*** freemangordon has joined #maemo | 01:35 | |
Macer | thn buy all the gta04 parts? | 01:35 |
Macer | lol. sounds like far too much of a hassle | 01:35 |
dos1 | Macer: some parts aren't produced anymore, hence the switch to N900 | 01:35 |

dos1 | Neo900 is going to change it :) | 01:36 |
Macer | thats what they said about the first freerunner ;) | 01:36 |
Macer | your optimism is good tho | 01:36 |
dos1 | well, I think that's exactly what was missing in whole GTA04 concept | 01:36 |
Macer | optimism? | 01:37 |
dos1 | haha :D no, things Neo900 can change | 01:37 |
dos1 | but maybe more optimism would be nice too, there was rather poor demand ;) | 01:37 |
freemangordon | dos1: what about the camera module? | 01:37 |
dos1 | I thank DocScrutinizer05 a lot for this idea | 01:37 |
RiD | GTA=4 | 01:37 |
RiD | what | 01:38 |
Macer | heh | 01:38 |
dos1 | freemangordon: GTA04 as it is right now has some optional camera module | 01:38 |
Macer | well if it manages to work out | 01:38 |
Macer | i will buy one ;) | 01:38 |
freemangordon | which can't be optional if put in n900 case ;) | 01:38 |

*** lexik_ has joined #maemo | 01:39 | |
dos1 | freemangordon: it's good question, but I think it's a bit too early to answer (i mean - *which* camera module, maybe even the original one if there are spare parts available? not *if*, it has to be there for sure :) ) | 01:39 |
*** lexik_ is now known as lexik | 01:39 | |
*** florian has quit IRC | 01:40 | |
RiD | would the internal flash be quite faster than the n900? | 01:41 |
freemangordon | dos1: :nod: | 01:41 |
freemangordon | RiD: who cares, with the RAM doubled :) | 01:41 |
RiD | ehh, sure, double ram would mean that we could very well keep more stuff on the background for faster opening, but still | 01:42 |
RiD | not wanting to be negative or anything, i find that a crazy idea (in it's good way) and I'd like it to be successfull | 01:42 |
dos1 | GTA04 itself was very crazy idea | 01:43 |
dos1 | yet it worked - there are around ~100 devices out there right now | 01:43 |
dos1 | and I think it's a lot given a VERY specific niche it targets | 01:43 |
RiD | i sadly wouldn't buy one (eh, not the best financial situation) but when i look at all other "alternatives" i just sit on a corner and start crying | 01:44 |
*** Guest23543 has joined #maemo | 01:44 | |
freemangordon | dos1: BTW why 512MB of RAM, woudn't 768MB or even 1GB make more sense? | 01:44 |
lexik | swap? | 01:44 |
RiD | keep swap minimal | 01:44 |
* RiD runs | 01:44 | |
freemangordon | lexik: this is what kills the preformance on N900 | 01:44 |
freemangordon | performance even | 01:45 |
dos1 | (well, it targets only people who already have Openmoko device, are crazy enough to pay a lot for something with pretty much low specs and are still active in Openmoko community - 100 is a lot) | 01:45 |
RiD | i remember seeing that thread with unresized pictures and made my n900 sh__ itself | 01:45 |
dos1 | freemangordon: dunno, price maybe? I think Neo900 can have slightly better specs than current GTA04. | 01:46 |
freemangordon | RiD: yeah, I hit hat too | 01:46 |
RiD | opera handles images much better though :P | 01:46 |
RiD | its a love/hate relationship | 01:46 |
dos1 | freemangordon: it's all matter of demand. If you have only 100 customers, you want to keep specs minimal to keep some decent price | 01:47 |
freemangordon | dos1: I'd happily change 3730/1GHz with 512MB for 3530/720MHz with 1GB. Though I have NFC if that is possible and how much it will cost :) | 01:47 |
RiD | speaking of that, how about the "overclockability" of these cpus | 01:48 |
dos1 | freemangordon: go state that in tmo thread :) | 01:48 |
freemangordon | RiD: think N9 | 01:48 |
RiD | ah well | 01:48 |
freemangordon | not much iiuc | 01:49 |
dos1 | freemangordon: idea appeared few days ago, first prototypes are some months away | 01:49 |
RiD | even for the 3530? | 01:49 |
freemangordon | dos1: sure | 01:49 |
dos1 | freemangordon: there's big room for discussion | 01:49 |
RiD | i know you cant really tell anyways | 01:49 |
dos1 | and I'm not even the right person to properly discuss stuff like that - I'm just supporter :) | 01:50 |
freemangordon | dos1: sure, but seems you have more info than me | 01:50 |
freemangordon | that is why I am trying to steal as much as I can from you :) | 01:50 |
dos1 | you can reach Dr. H. Nikolaus Schaller who designs GTA04 board on Openmoko and OpenPhoenux community maillists | 01:50 |
dos1 | he runs Golden Delicious, who produces GTA04 | 01:51 |
dos1 | and if Neo900 idea really kicks off, that's him and his team who will be redesigning it for N900 case and components | 01:51 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and maybe me | 01:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | ;-P | 01:52 |
RiD | if i win the lottery i'll make sure i drop a few pennies | 01:52 |
freemangordon | well, I'll discuss that with DocScrutinizer05 for now, we have a long history of arguing :D | 01:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hehehehhe | 01:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: we will get the best SoC we can grab | 01:53 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sourcing SoC is one of the more complicated things | 01:54 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: sure, but "best" needs to be defined first I guess | 01:54 |
DocScrutinizer05 | not if your choice is limited to 1 or max 2 types anyway ;-) | 01:55 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer51: afaik RAM is not a part of the SoC | 01:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you ever tried to buy a OMAP3430? | 01:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it is | 01:55 |
freemangordon | me? no :) | 01:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | kinda | 01:55 |

LjL-Alps | DocScrutinizer05, i tend to put "uploaded firmware" beyond the line. because if the firmware is already in the peripheral, then you don't see it, but if you do have to see it, then you might not be able to redistribute it etc. also, firmware for devices that communicate very closely with the system (share RAM) can pose security threats | 01:55 |
freemangordon | isn't it on the top of the Soc? | 01:55 |
*** Ex-Opesa has quit IRC | 01:56 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | LjL-Alps: we have no shared-RAM peripherals | 01:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: yep | 01:56 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: I am judging from the different N900 revisions, some have 2x128MB, some 1X256MB | 01:56 |
freemangordon | different manifacturers, etc | 01:57 |
RiD | would 2x128 be better than 1x256 | 01:57 |
freemangordon | I guess no | 01:57 |
freemangordon | or rather no difference | 01:57 |
dos1 | LjL-Alps: yup, shared-RAM wouldn't be acceptable for this project | 01:57 |
dos1 | LjL-Alps: closed firmware, but with ability to redistribute | 01:58 |
dos1 | LjL-Alps: that's "the worst" we can still accept | 01:58 |
LjL-Alps | fair enough | 01:58 |

DocScrutinizer05 | I'm wondering what Nikolaus will say when he returns from holiday tomorrow and sees the 2mess" we created :-D | 02:10 |
dos1 | hehe :D | 02:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | well, he knows the basics already since I had some mails with him today, but the last few hours are probably new development to him | 02:11 |
dos1 | I think even such small thing (compared to scope of whole project) as hardware keyboard can be a huuuge benefit over current GTA04 | 02:15 |
dos1 | I smell that if we do this right, we can get more interested people than just Maemo guys and some Openmoko leftovers | 02:16 |
RiD | speaking of keyboard, who's willing to sell an english variant of the n900 keyboard for only 1€ | 02:17 |

DocScrutinizer05 | dos1: I think it's essential to showcase a working fremantle on a Goldelico device, no matter what subsystems still missing, no matter if even a kbd attached or whatever. Just build a KP52 with boardcfg of GTA02 and install some sort of hildon desktop so you can start an xterm under the well known hildon-desktop look&feel. Then publish that | 02:43 |
Win7Mac | Holy cow, just reading backlog... nice! | 02:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | on youtube or7and gta04.org and/or maemo.org | 02:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Win7Mac: hi! | 02:44 |
Win7Mac | think kickstarter and you'll easily get tens of kilo$$ | 02:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we probably gonna do something like that, with a goal of 500 devices | 02:45 |
Win7Mac | 1st thought: n900 is quite klunky, E7 would be so much nicer | 02:45 |
*** bef0rd has quit IRC | 02:46 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | yes, but it's actually much harder to use E7 spare parts for our purposes | 02:46 |
Win7Mac | ...but still need to read backlog ;) | 02:46 |
Win7Mac | yeah, already got that | 02:46 |
Win7Mac | :reading: | 02:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | hehe | 02:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | dos1: did you mail Nikolaus about your notion regading my "idea"? | 02:48 |
*** bef0rd has joined #maemo | 02:49 | |
DocScrutinizer05 | not that it would seem like Nikolaus needs much more arguments to look into Neo900, he already mailed me he starts to love the idea | 02:49 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but he for sure can use more confirmation | 02:49 |
dos1 | DocScrutinizer05: nope | 02:49 |
dos1 | I'll do that, either to him privately or to openphoenux maillist, but tomorrow - going to bed soon ;) | 02:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | send him a link to your initial post on neo900 thread! it's awesome | 02:50 |
DocScrutinizer05 | right, this damn openphoenux ML where I dropped off for strange reasons | 02:51 |
dos1 | I realised few days ago that I wasn't even subscribed | 02:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I think I once been, but somebody kicked me off that ML | 02:52 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or maybe that been internal developers' ML | 02:53 |

DocScrutinizer05 | Wulfe: what kind of impact would you hope for? | 03:00 |
Wulfe | yeah but there is still support for the N900 and a lot more apps developed for it | 03:00 |
Wulfe | personally i am just hoping for some new life brought back to the device | 03:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | indeed rarely ever a new app for diablo | 03:01 |
Wulfe | i been looking in to doing some development myself but its not going very well with limited resources. | 03:01 |
Wulfe | all i have is 1 N810 wimax edition and a shady laptop with the sdk. | 03:02 |
Wulfe | lol | 03:02 |
Wulfe | so eventually when i get the sdk on a better desktop i might be able to get something new going in the extras repo. | 03:03 |
Wulfe | but till then all i have is whats left on the forums, which sadly isnt much being its all mostly out of date info. | 03:03 |

dos1 | freemangordon: hehe :) but still, it sounds uberamazing | 19:10 |
*** topro has quit IRC | 19:10 | |

*** N-Mi has joined #maemo | 19:11 | |
dos1 | GTA04 is rather poor in this regard at the moment | 19:11 |
freemangordon | dos1: And that is one reason why we should keep the kernel as it is, no matter if it is old, wait for Pali to upstream whatever possible, and slowly upgrade it aterwards | 19:12 |
freemangordon | dos1: but maybe I talk nonsense, I don;t know how's gta04 compared to n900 re power management | 19:13 |
dos1 | and I don't know details either | 19:15 |
*** arcean has quit IRC | 19:17 | |
freemangordon | dos1: hopefully the newer SoC (40nm or even 30nm) will help us when we can't do the proper SW :D | 19:18 |

*** sunny_s has quit IRC | 19:55 | |
*** rcg has quit IRC | 19:55 | |
dos1 | if you're question is about Neo900, then "they're both armv7" is not enough | 19:55 |
dos1 | think about power management | 19:56 |
szopin | what's missing? drivers? | 19:56 |
freemangordon | szopin: OMAP4 means dual core? | 19:56 |
szopin | yes, it's about neo, didn't want to spam the thread with questions | 19:56 |
szopin | yes | 19:56 |
dos1 | Nokia has invested lots of work into it, and most of ther work are hacks that are not going to be upstreamed anytime | 19:56 |
dos1 | I don't think we have enough capacity to create anything in pair of N900's power management - GTA04 is struggling with power consumption problems | 19:57 |
freemangordon | szopin: I have NFC how fremantle would behave on 2 or more cores, too much of a risk IMO. | 19:57 |
dos1 | keeping it as close to N900 as we can will simplify it a lot | 19:57 |
*** florian has joined #maemo | 19:58 | |
freemangordon | dos1: hopefully there are at least 2 of us knowing n900 kernel enough to do almost whatever we want with it :) | 19:58 |
szopin | yes, but without 'better enough' specs it's going to be a hard sell | 19:58 |
freemangordon | szopin: it is not CPU that makes n900 stutter, no? | 19:59 |
dos1 | szopin: and second factor agains "better enough" is price | 19:59 |
freemangordon | :nod: | 19:59 |
szopin | hard to say, so many tweaks... | 19:59 |
*** WizardNumberNext has quit IRC | 19:59 | |
freemangordon | szopin: and most of them related to swap - swappolube, swappiness, cssu-thumb, etc. | 19:59 |
dos1 | szopin: with such small production runs, it matters a lot | 20:00 |
wmarone | freemangordon: I'd wager lack of ram before CPU | 20:00 |
szopin | flopswap, swappolube... | 20:00 |
freemangordon | wmarone: anytime :) | 20:00 |
dos1 | I'd love to see Neo900 with 1GB RAM | 20:00 |
freemangordon | me too | 20:00 |
dos1 | we'll just have yet to see if it's possible at all | 20:00 |
wmarone | cause my n9 has had stall moments, but -never- ever as bad as the N900 has had tem | 20:00 |
wmarone | them* | 20:00 |
RiD | i think everyone would love to see it | 20:00 |
szopin | people tweak all they can, OCed to 1150 does seem to work less stuttery that's for sure | 20:00 |
freemangordon | szopin: imagine n900 as it is, just with 1GB or RAM | 20:01 |
RiD | less swap action, sleeping core apps | 20:01 |
dos1 | availability of SoCs in small quantities is crucial here | 20:01 |
dos1 | we may have no choice but to go with 512, so we don't want to spread false excitement | 20:02 |
RiD | it's still double ._. | 20:02 |
freemangordon | szopin: omap3430 @ 600 MHZ is a powerful device. I am not saying that having 2x1GHz is not good, but it is not the CPU that is the bottleneck | 20:02 |
dos1 | I prefer "hey, look, we were able to increase amount of RAM from 512MB to 1GB!" than "oh crap, we are not able to get 1GB, it's going to have 512MB, sorry!" | 20:03 |
szopin | sure... just, with people mostly interested in 300-400 euro area... | 20:03 |
freemangordon | szopin: also, have in mind that never 3xxx have faster memory acceess | 20:03 |
freemangordon | szopin: no way IMO | 20:04 |
szopin | might be better to buy second hand N9's, rip their boards and voila 1gb ram | 20:04 |
RiD | wat | 20:04 |
RiD | good luck porting maemo to it | 20:04 |
freemangordon | szopin: even pin-to-pin compatible, 3630 is not 3430 | 20:04 |
dos1 | szopin: good luck with "ripping their boards" | 20:04 |
szopin | ouch | 20:04 |
wmarone | at that point you might as well port gtk and hildon to Mer/NemoMobile and be done with it | 20:05 |
szopin | so we're stuck with 3430? | 20:05 |
dos1 | hardware world is not that easy :( | 20:05 |
dos1 | poll is for 3730 | 20:05 |
freemangordon | szopin: no, we're stuck with cortexA8 | 20:05 |
dos1 | so I guess it's one of the safe options | 20:06 |
szopin | one sec, checking 3730, must've missed it | 20:06 |
freemangordon | szopin: see, sammy need 4 cores and 2GB of RAM because the OS and SW is highly inefficient | 20:06 |
freemangordon | we don;t have that problem | 20:07 |
szopin | 3730 not even listed in wikipedia :/ | 20:07 |

Win7Mac | amoled | 20:40 |
RiD | lps | 20:40 |
dos1 | Win7Mac: putting N9 hw in other case would mean that we need to manufacture N9 | 20:40 |
RiD | what | 20:41 |
Win7Mac | N9s are still available | 20:41 |
dos1 | Win7Mac: and will small productions runs, price will be much higher | 20:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | really? | 20:41 |
szopin | n9's are not that expensive | 20:41 |
dos1 | Win7Mac: but how do you want to modify them to put somewhere else? | 20:41 |
RiD | n9 is only 704,03€ here | 20:41 |
RiD | quite cheap if you ask me | 20:41 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and I wonder how you want to make them boot | 20:42 |

Win7Mac | coderus has a fix for that | 20:42 |
dos1 | Win7Mac: yeah. There's no "why not just take this phone from there / and put it there in this case?" | 20:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | a fix for HS? | 20:42 |
Win7Mac | *for aegis | 20:42 |
freemangordon | it is not the same | 20:43 |
Win7Mac | HS? | 20:43 |
dos1 | Win7Mac: we have to produce a board by ourselves | 20:43 |
freemangordon | HighSecurity | 20:43 |
dos1 | Win7Mac: but we don't have to produce a case, as we can for instance use N900's one | 20:43 |
dos1 | that's what Neo900 is about | 20:43 |
szopin | dos1: realistically though, how far can we go fremantle compatible in terms of cpu/ram/nand? | 20:43 |
dos1 | szopin: cpu/ram/nand? Feature wise, 100%? | 20:44 |
dos1 | power optimisation wide - no idea | 20:44 |
dos1 | wise* | 20:44 |
Win7Mac | just throwing in my wishful thinking: N900 is not for me, E7/N9 is | 20:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | as long as it's OMAP3 I think we're fine with SoC PM | 20:44 |
DocScrutinizer05 | peripherals are a whole new story | 20:45 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: there are slight differences afaik | 20:45 |
RiD | hmh, what about fmtx, ir and all these little extras | 20:45 |
freemangordon | but we can backport the stuff from the Harm kernel | 20:45 |
DocScrutinizer05 | freemangordon: might be, we'll handle them in kernel | 20:45 |
freemangordon | ooh, sure | 20:45 |
szopin | dos1: dual-core seems out of reach | 20:45 |
szopin | what are the best specs we could get and be still fremantle compatible? | 20:46 |
freemangordon | szopin: seems we just can't afford it | 20:46 |
szopin | I know | 20:46 |
szopin | in theory | 20:46 |
freemangordon | A15? | 20:46 |
szopin | ? | 20:46 |
szopin | it can be done? | 20:46 |
szopin | no problems with power management? | 20:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | we even have basically identical companion chip (GAYA TPS65951 vs 50) | 20:47 |
LjL-Alps | you called it Neo900 now? | 20:47 |
szopin | or does it include 5000bil$ to buy apple out? | 20:47 |
DocScrutinizer05 | which is much more relevant for PM | 20:47 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: it is not that simple, IMO the upstream kernel is missing power domain control | 20:48 |

szopin | Just wondering what is the upper limit in fremantle compatible vs realistic possible. Seems different people have different priorities (ram/cpu/nand/IR/fmtx...) | 20:49 |

*** NeutrinoPower has quit IRC | 20:50 | |

szopin | rpg game style, upgrade ram to 512 for 200$/XP | 20:51 |
szopin | upgrade omap3 for... | 20:51 |

szopin | so having 2 versions (say with batch of 200 and 500) with prices and poll like this would make more sense | 20:53 |
szopin | omap3+512 - 600 euro (200), 700 euro (500), omap3 + 1gb 650 (200.... | 20:54 |

DocScrutinizer05 | won't fly, we're happy if we can source complete BOM at all | 21:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no headroom for fancy options | 21:04 |
szopin | if we see 2/3 going for 1gb upgrade rather than omap4 and willing to shell extra 200 for it... | 21:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | also the difference in price is probably negligible | 21:04 |
szopin | or the other way around, this is of course assuming there is wiggle space | 21:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's for sure negligible when it comes to "omap4 won't happen since that is a whole new design" and we simply have no choice on the OMAP3 SoC we can source | 21:04 |
szopin | thanks, was looking for that answer even though previously some people said binary compatible/would like to see fremantle behaving on dual-core | 21:04 |

DocScrutinizer05 | look, it's often like "hey in two months Apple builds a new batch, so ask us after that batch is finished if we maybe got a handful surplus SoC from that run for you" sth like 1000 SoC is usually nothing they serve you a cup of coffe when you come asking for such quantity | 21:04 |

szopin | though 750 is an overkill | 21:17 |
DocScrutinizer05 | because we have no money to give away | 21:17 |
Luke-Jr | DocScrutinizer05: not sure how prohibiting people from using it commercially helps with that | 21:17 |
szopin | is there any other way than cpu to improve performance? | 21:18 |
szopin | cache ddr666 ram or something? | 21:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Luke-Jr: this is NOT a FOSS project | 21:18 |
qwazix | the spec sheet says LED controller not tested | 21:18 |
szopin | if we're stuck with omap3 getting those fastest with some benchmarks would help get support | 21:18 |

DocScrutinizer05 | creative commons is about documents and other information goods, not about a piece of hardware usually | 21:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | when you have a printed book with CC then the license is about the book's info, not about the paper | 21:28 |
Luke-Jr | oh, what kind of license would usually be used with hardware? O.o | 21:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Copyright? | 21:29 |
Luke-Jr | Copyright is what empowers the license. :p | 21:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | you don't need a license to use an appliance | 21:30 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so frequently appliances and other hardware come with no special licence at all | 21:30 |

szopin | so does current nokia | 21:32 |
szopin | licensing fremantle to neo900 | 21:33 |
szopin | would make sense | 21:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | wut? | 21:33 |
szopin | undercutting competition (jolla is a competition when you have 3 percent) | 21:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | fremantle is FOSS, except for a few blobs for which community got permission to re-use and redistribute | 21:33 |
szopin | sure they dropped repo servers | 21:33 |

DocScrutinizer05 | pffft define "fremantle" | 21:36 |

Luke-Jr | szopin: also, fremantle is obsolete. see harmattan | 21:36 |
szopin | absurd | 21:36 |

dos1 | GTA04 right now doesn't have keyboard | 21:41 |
qwazix | freemangordon, I'm just asking because the current GTA04 wasn't meant to be used with hwkb | 21:41 |
dos1 | but I think there's some place you can connect one to | 21:42 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Win7Mac: basically when Nokia offered you guys the contract you maybe still haven't signed | 21:42 |
qwazix | dos1, rs232? | 21:42 |
Win7Mac | exactly | 21:42 |
dos1 | as some additional keyboard boards for 3D printed cases were evaluated | 21:42 |
Win7Mac | and AFAIK they won't | 21:43 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but de facto it happened years ago when we got allowance to redistribute the blobs | 21:43 |

DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: you shouldn't waste your time reviewing GTA04 schematics. I told you they get adapted to more closely meet N900 | 21:45 |
Win7Mac | that was in response to the contract Rob drafted | 21:46 |
DocScrutinizer05 | At least that's _my_ plan for now, dunno what nikolaus will say about it | 21:46 |
freemangordon | Win7Mac: nothing can stop neo900 to be distributed/sold with only hildon-desktop, HAM and repos set up | 21:47 |
* qwazix still thinks that maybe, if we find it hard to drum up support for N900 case Neo900, trying for E7 case might bring some additional support due to complete lack of proper QWERTY smartphones today. Even if it would be a little less perfect for maemo fans, (capacitive) it might bring outside backers and thus increase quantity (and maemo users) | 21:48 | |

qwazix | LjL-Alps, putting sailfish on an arbitrary Android device | 21:54 |
LjL-Alps | wow. | 21:55 |
qwazix | Their claim | 21:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: sure, they re-use RIL | 21:55 |
DocScrutinizer05 | and the GPU drivers as well aiui | 21:56 |
qwazix | yep, that's what I understand too | 21:56 |
szopin | hmmm... did anyone do comparisons in speed libhybris vs native though? | 21:56 |
*** dafox has quit IRC | 21:56 | |
szopin | if it turns out 50% slowdown jolla is going to need octa cores just like android :/ | 21:56 |
DocScrutinizer05 | it's kinda of a chroot with sailfish in it running under android, just that you do a pivot-root then ;-D | 21:57 |
*** dafox has joined #maemo | 21:57 | |
qwazix | szopin, no, but videos of nemo on lowend hardware seem quite snappy | 21:57 |
DocScrutinizer05 | my wild guess | 21:57 |
szopin | any 3d cube gl fps comparison? | 21:57 |
szopin | this could kill jolla if performance is bogged down | 21:58 |
szopin | they'll go in a race they cannot win | 21:58 |

szopin | :( | 22:00 |
szopin | same here, expecting a huge letdown when trying to compile things on device | 22:01 |
szopin | of course in 3 years everything will be wayland... | 22:01 |
DocScrutinizer05 | no tmy desktop | 22:01 |

szopin | what about those 2-3 devices based on intel? | 22:02 |
qwazix | just a folder with the android drivers | 22:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | sure, not really | 22:02 |
szopin | would that make it more likely for fremantle compatibility? | 22:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | but that's how they base on all the android stuff I guess | 22:03 |
szopin | all packages are in arm and 32 | 22:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | create enough of an android environment (kernel domain) to make the drivers work, then put a standard kernel undor/over/aside to this | 22:03 |
qwazix | probably | 22:04 |
szopin | (both in maemo and android) | 22:04 |
szopin | would that help in any way? | 22:04 |
szopin | with intel standard cpu bluez is an option | 22:05 |
szopin | so the whole dalvik can go suck an ik | 22:05 |
qwazix | DocScrutinizer05, what is it that you love about X? | 22:05 |
* DocScrutinizer05 feels terribly exhausted, Probably all serotonin tanks are empty now after ~36h of euphoria | 22:05 | |
qwazix | because from what I read I can't wait for distros to switch to wayland | 22:05 |
DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: the fact that there is a knowledge base, tools, and a zillion of apps basing on it | 22:06 |
szopin | sure atom is not there yet, but anandtech was very positve about next gen intels | 22:06 |

DocScrutinizer05 | good question, I dunno | 22:08 |
szopin | 1 gb of nand and sd | 22:08 |

DocScrutinizer05 | in GTA04!!!! | 22:08 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: guess who asked about the camera :P | 22:08 |
freemangordon | how expensive would be to add 16GB? any idea? | 22:09 |
DocScrutinizer05 | some 20orso | 22:09 |
qwazix | DocScrutinizer05, I don't know about that, but I hear multiscreen finally works! | 22:09 |
szopin | gta04 on the page you linked in first post has 512/512/1gb | 22:09 |
qwazix | because under X I've got all kinds of problems... | 22:09 |
freemangordon | oh, make them 32 then :D | 22:09 |
szopin | probably a formatting nug | 22:09 |
szopin | bug* | 22:09 |
ShadowJK | Would be cool with a modern emmc too | 22:09 |
ShadowJK | even if it'd "still" be 32g | 22:10 |
szopin | get a new sdhc card and it will be faster | 22:10 |
szopin | for sequential reads at least | 22:10 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: with a slot for uSD even 16 would be just fine | 22:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | szopin: goldelico was able to eventually source a better SoC with 1GB of NAND | 22:10 |
szopin | (700mb from emmc copy >> from sdhc) | 22:10 |
DocScrutinizer05 | first GTA04 had 512MB | 22:10 |
szopin | in time, new sd are faster | 22:11 |
ShadowJK | szopin; yeah I mean there are emmcs now that are better suited for multitasking operarting systems :) | 22:11 |
freemangordon | I guess no UHS, ain't? | 22:11 |
szopin | shadow: sure, but N900 emmc sucks | 22:11 |
freemangordon | szopin: what?!? | 22:11 |
szopin | haven't made full benchmarks but new sammie sd gets good speeds even on random readwrites | 22:12 |
freemangordon | you have no clue, really | 22:12 |
ShadowJK | N900 emmc is like a very fast SD at its time | 22:12 |
*** _rd has joined #maemo | 22:12 | |
szopin | fmg: was testing copying some random movie, from my 32gb card was some 15% faster than emmc | 22:12 |
freemangordon | szopin: I have one of those, it is still slightly slower than emmc | 22:12 |
szopin | no idea why, but here my card was faster | 22:13 |
ShadowJK | The thing about 2008-2009 era sd/emmc, is that they don't tolerate random writes at all | 22:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | emmc is 8bit interface, sd is 4 bit, no? | 22:13 |
freemangordon | szopin: what benchmark? connected via mass storage to the pc? | 22:13 |
freemangordon | DocScrutinizer05: :nod: | 22:13 |
qwazix | szopin, because you were doing sequential read | 22:13 |
szopin | it's a card that gets >100kb/s on random readwrites though | 22:13 |
szopin | usb to pc | 22:13 |
ShadowJK | Whereas some chips today will have a small write cache to deal with it | 22:13 |
szopin | just copy file over | 22:13 |
ShadowJK | It's practically "impossible" to get exclusive access to the emmc for proper benchmarking | 22:14 |
ShadowJK | whereas nothing uses the uSD at all normally | 22:14 |
szopin | was "researching" for a couple of days, the 10MBit is only when writing on empty card | 22:14 |
ShadowJK | So usb to pc and similar tests aren't fair | 22:15 |
*** GhostRiderV2 has joined #maemo | 22:15 | |
qwazix | ShadowJK, isn't emmc accessible in ACT_DEAD? | 22:15 |
szopin | but on copying a dir with 500+ files it was also giving me better perf | 22:15 |
qwazix | that wouldn't be almost exclusive? | 22:15 |
ShadowJK | If swap is on, or /home mounted, it's not | 22:15 |
dos1 | I think one could run some alternative OS like SHR from SD | 22:15 |
freemangordon | dos1: on n900? | 22:16 |
szopin | sure, but use case trumps it... but wait also booting ubuntu was a breeze | 22:16 |
ShadowJK | Small files perf would be better on a good modern card, obviously | 22:16 |
dos1 | freemangordon: yup | 22:16 |
DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: could you try to push for a vote of a council majority on donating a device to Nikolaus? | 22:16 |
szopin | while others were claimin it takes ages | 22:16 |
freemangordon | dos1: I think I still kepp ubuntu 12.04 image somewhere ;) | 22:16 |
freemangordon | *keep | 22:16 |
qwazix | I don't know how ACT_DEAD deals with swap and /home, I just remember plugging the N900 to pc while off and having mass storage access. | 22:16 |
szopin | new sd cards can really stomp on old ones in terms of speed | 22:16 |
ShadowJK | Anyway, this was my original point, that it would be nice to have a modern emmc, with the logstructured slc write cache, and trim support. | 22:17 |

qwazix | DocScrutinizer05, if I count as council majority you have it right now. Otherwise there's little I can do. Meetings haven't been really productive lately | 22:17 |
ShadowJK | rootfs isn't on emmc | 22:17 |
qwazix | freemangordon, rly? That's how often I use mass storage :P | 22:17 |
szopin | (it's a sucky compression btw, just checked my 198mb re in fact 320) | 22:17 |
ShadowJK | Probably lzop | 22:18 |
DocScrutinizer05 | qwazix: well, we need one more vote aiui | 22:18 |
freemangordon | szopin: and this is the rest of the storry, the start being the swap ;) | 22:18 |
szopin | 1gb should be enough | 22:18 |
szopin | fmg: we could uncompress rootfs? | 22:18 |
thedead1440 | DocScrutinizer05: fwiw, i am +1 on donating the device too... | 22:19 |
DocScrutinizer05 | so we're done. Thanks | 22:19 |
freemangordon | szopin: that is why I insist A8 even running on 600 MHz is just fine | 22:19 |
thedead1440 | btw haven't been this curious in a long time :) | 22:19 |
freemangordon | szopin: sure we can | 22:19 |
szopin | sorry, yoda placement | 22:19 |
szopin | could we?* | 22:19 |
szopin | how? | 22:19 |
freemangordon | if we have enough rootfs scpce | 22:19 |
szopin | on current N900? | 22:20 |
qwazix | freemangordon, do we really need rootfs? Harmattan seems to go along fine while installed in emmc | 22:20 |
Win7Mac | DocScrutinizer05, can't you just send him 1 of your 5 devices as a loan? | 22:20 |
freemangordon | can't remember exactly, see cssu-thumb thread | 22:20 |
szopin | optifying as much as we... oh fukc it, opt is slower | 22:20 |
freemangordon | szopin: no, it is not | 22:20 |
szopin | ??? | 22:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I won't loan devices to get them disassembled | 22:20 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I also don't loan my GF | 22:20 |
szopin | I can loan one | 22:20 |
szopin | if I get neo900 in return sure | 22:21 |
freemangordon | opt is not slower than rootfs, at least not much | 22:21 |
Win7Mac | I (as treasurer) feel kind of hijacked by GTA project | 22:21 |
thedead1440 | Win7Mac: what do you mean? | 22:21 |
szopin | than you claim emmc not so slower than nand | 22:21 |
freemangordon | Win7Mac: what? | 22:21 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Win7Mac: I however would forward one of my devices to him and get a replacement for my shelf later | 22:21 |
szopin | or rather emmcc not so much slower than nand iqith sucky compression | 22:21 |
szopin | with* | 22:22 |
Win7Mac | i will not stand in the way of aany majority | 22:22 |
ShadowJK | I wouldn't want rootfs on emmc, atleast not if the emmc is as primitive as the one in n900. Writes from things like fennec can keep emmc busy for 10s of seconds at a time, during which read access to /opt suffers 1000+ ms latencies :) | 22:22 |
dos1 | DocScrutinizer05: so you'll send him your GF to get new one later? ;) | 22:22 |
freemangordon | :D | 22:22 |
freemangordon | this is the community spirit :P | 22:22 |
qwazix | Nokia thought NAND was so much better that they developed a whole new filesystem for it, but then ditched it in the next gen. | 22:22 |
szopin | this is a ram problem is a big way, try copying 250mb+ file | 22:22 |
szopin | in* | 22:22 |
SpeedEvil | qwazix: they're right. | 22:23 |
ShadowJK | The availability of nand got worse | 22:23 |
Win7Mac | cool project, definetely deserves HiFo support! just not sure about the donations | 22:23 |
szopin | after ram available n900 slows to a halt | 22:23 |
SpeedEvil | qwazix: the problem is that nobody sells 32gb nand | 22:23 |
freemangordon | qwazix: if we run NAND uncompressed it will be much better IMO | 22:23 |
SpeedEvil | 32gigabyte | 22:23 |
qwazix | the N9 also has NAND which is unused IIRC | 22:23 |
thedead1440 | Win7Mac: one device is not a big deal considering the amount rob was considering wasting for $random solutions when deciding on hosting and not much of a fuss being made at that time | 22:23 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: what about using NAND as swap? | 22:24 |
ShadowJK | szopin; well it starts using swap, which when mixed in with the copy slows things down alot. In general the emmc slows down to like 100kB/sec if subjected to more than a few sequential streams, or a single random write stream | 22:24 |
freemangordon | for how long will it last? | 22:24 |
qwazix | freemangordon, I'm not exactly sure, but I was talking with a guy that was in the team that designed that thing, and he said that ubifs was needed for some reason | 22:24 |
ShadowJK | freemangordon; with rolling sequential write access, years | 22:24 |
qwazix | (no hardware wear-levelling or something) | 22:24 |
DocScrutinizer05 | Win7Mac: I will inform Nikolaus, so he can remember when it's coming to handing out Neo900 prototypes | 22:25 |
ShadowJK | That's true for the onenand | 22:25 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: so, we can stay with 512 RAM, swap on NAND and root on eMMC, right? | 22:25 |
ShadowJK | No possibility of 1G? | 22:25 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: iiuc | 22:25 |
Win7Mac | Doc, that's what I'm talking about: exchange a set, you'll be 1st tester anyway... | 22:25 |

szopin | it's fat | 22:33 |
DocScrutinizer05 | how is swapoff related to /opt? | 22:33 |
ShadowJK | freemangordon; yeah but it's not as evil as ext3 on emmc | 22:33 |
szopin | my sd is ext3 btw | 22:34 |
szopin | so maybe here is speed? | 22:34 |
freemangordon | oooh | 22:34 |
ShadowJK | DocScrutinizer05; as a means to prevent IO to emmc | 22:34 |
DocScrutinizer05 | I still don't see it | 22:34 |
ShadowJK | vfat is like 3-4 times less computational load for emmc/sd | 22:35 |
szopin | shouldn't impact opt... need gto check read/write opt svs sd | 22:35 |
szopin | vs | 22:35 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: but it is vfat, so most probably it is fragmented all over the place | 22:35 |
DocScrutinizer05 | to get issues with /opt you need to unmount or otherwise block the partitoon where /opt lives. Unrelated to swap which is a whole different partition | 22:35 |
ShadowJK | freemangordon; not too badly, I've checked from time to time as I often run at 99percent use on MyDocs... | 22:36 |

ShadowJK | freemangordon; fsync and fflush is the great killer.. databases loves to use those.. and everything uses databases these days. | 22:42 |
freemangordon | and they hit the omap bug too late to change anything but the compiler flags | 22:42 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: hmm, yeah, makes sense | 22:43 |
*** Guest93407 is now known as SAiF | 22:43 | |
qwazix | freemangordon, possible, and they forgot to change it for modest (or was it tinymail?) | 22:43 |
freemangordon | qwazix: no, it was MohammadAG :D | 22:43 |
qwazix | really? I thought that modest was crashing since PR1.0 | 22:43 |
freemangordon | qwazix: no | 22:44 |
qwazix | In fact I was pretty sure about that | 22:44 |
qwazix | You're probably right | 22:44 |
freemangordon | the only thig that is thumb-compiled is facebook-something, and it is in OVI store | 22:44 |
ShadowJK | that's one piece of sw that's never crashed on me | 22:44 |
szopin | modest? | 22:44 |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: you don;t have it installed? | 22:44 |
qwazix | That couldn't be it, my only interaction with facebook-something was uninstalling the launcher | 22:45 |
ShadowJK | I use it daily | 22:45 |
*** tom____ has joined #maemo | 22:45 | |
* qwazix wonders why people bash modest so angrily | 22:45 | |
freemangordon | ShadowJK: do readelf -A on /opt/.../libfacebook-something.so | 22:46 |
ShadowJK | I meant modest | 22:46 |
freemangordon | ooh | 22:46 |
szopin | gmail stopped working, whether it's tinymail bug or modest, who cares, modest sucks | 22:46 |
thedead1440 | qwazix: because the very moment you require it urgently, it will hang up on you at that time; just like fennix ;) | 22:46 |
qwazix | I find it much better than those thin crap clients that only search through the last 30 mails on modern smartphones | 22:46 |
freemangordon | qwazix: mag compiled it by mistake with -mthumb in one of the cssu versions, as Maemo SDK VM comes with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=...,thumb,... by default | 22:47 |
freemangordon | szopin: fized in CSSU ;) | 22:47 |
freemangordon | fixed even | 22:47 |
qwazix | thedead1440, I have fallen back to modest after fenix crashed on me countless times and it never failed me, just a bit slow | 22:47 |
RiD | there's a modest alternative?! | 22:47 |
RiD | honestly modest only crashed on me once, other times its just a bit slow like qwazix says | 22:48 |
szopin | fmg: I know, my daily handset is CSUU broken somehow so I'm few releases backwards, works fine on the other | 22:48 |
thedead1440 | ya that slow part; when you really need that email, modest will take forever to load. nearly threw my n900 in a fit of anger once due to this reason :) | 22:48 |
ShadowJK | images load slow for me | 22:48 |
RiD | microb is terrible on big images | 22:49 |
SAiF | i dont think so | 22:49 |
RiD | open something 1920x1080 or bigger | 22:50 |
RiD | it will die and beg you to stop | 22:50 |
RiD | black 5kb image does not count | 22:50 |
freemangordon | RiD: it is the lack of RAM that makes it slow ;) | 22:50 |
qwazix | RiD, "microb reboots the phone at big images" <-- there I fixed it | 22:50 |
RiD | ehh sorry it does not reboot my phone | 22:50 |
szopin | nah 4000x... is a pain | 22:50 |
RiD | szopin opera handles it a little better | 22:50 |
szopin | 1920x works quite alright (805mhz at least) | 22:50 |
ShadowJK | The limit is more at 3000x... for me | 22:50 |
RiD | though if you abuse it, it'll eventually crash or slow down like a turtle | 22:50 |
ShadowJK | 1920 is trivial | 22:51 |
RiD | szopin maybe you are right | 22:51 |
ShadowJK | I open that on N800 | 22:51 |
RiD | still, even at these images sometimes zooming on them etc is a bit screwed | 22:51 |
ShadowJK | (that wasnt a typo) | 22:51 |
RiD | it takes a long time to redraw the image | 22:51 |
RiD | not long as in 30 seconds but you know :( | 22:51 |
szopin | yeah, there is a looot that could be fixed in microb | 22:51 |
szopin | lower part of the page reappearing for few multiseconds when scrolling down | 22:52 |
RiD | i switch from opera and microb all day | 22:52 |
szopin | this is so annoying | 22:52 |
szopin | but... even neo900 won't fix it | 22:52 |
RiD | something with big images, opera. Or something with heavy scripts, opera also tends to be the winner. On the other side, microb just feels better and more friendly | 22:52 |
RiD | browsing the forums for example is uncomfortable on opera, but fine on microb | 22:53 |
szopin | mouse mode trumps all | 22:53 |
szopin | I so wish they opened this | 22:53 |
szopin | tmo works great | 22:53 |
szopin | openpandora forums... oh jeez | 22:53 |
RiD | IPB | 22:54 |
RiD | meh, me dislike | 22:54 |
szopin | reddit with all the time: stop script/wait... | 22:54 |
szopin | there's a lot of room for improvement, sadly with mouse mode closed we're pretty much stuck | 22:55 |
szopin | and it works flash so nicely.... one of the reasons I'm looking for fremanlte | 22:55 |
RiD | i remember when flash was a "punch" line to sell android | 22:56 |
*** SAiF has quit IRC | 22:56 | |
RiD | no longer supported... | 22:56 |
RiD | (officially) | 22:56 |
szopin | well even desktop linux is closed for flash... | 22:56 |
