[edit] Ubuntu for HD2 v0.2 Feedback

Ideas, Feedback, Troubleshooting

Visit Facebook and XDA for discussion and help.

The process of improvement can be eased with a lot of feedback!

Use this box to add any findings & thoughts

v0.2 feedback/bugs/wishlist => developer's comment 

* Add Skype and camera driver support.
=> 

* Add netfilter support in kernel to allow iptables use.
=> will be added in v0.3 release or possible kernel upgrade for 0.2

* Enable internal audio
=> work in progress. see QDSP6_Alsa

* Enable audio in calls
=> see 'sphone' below

* Enable internal bluetooth with HID support (to connect bt keyboard etc)
=> needs testing

* Enable internal GPS (works in the cotulla binary kernels)
=> needs special program to enable it

* More RAM available to the OS (full 512MB would be great)
=> done

* Battery driver(meter) / charger
=> driver is present but needs patch to work together with usb host

* Add flash player (maybe 10.1)
=> easy. some binary flashplugin-mozilla could be grabbed from maemo etc. but we need to check legal situation about adding it in rootfs

* Hardware acceleration opengl
=> not possible at the moment. qualcomm will need to provide a driver.

* On screen keyboard: check options to it, larger, scalable, remove lag on input,
  make it always on top. drop down bars like firefox or gnome input fields overlap it currently
=> I I'll stick with 'onboard', but make it larger by default. the size is hardcoded in launcher and auostart.
   Also I might add 'haptic feedback' like in WinCE

* Use latest UBUNTU version (maverick) to make more use of the available cortex-a8 instructions (or Lucid LTS for ARMv7)
=> 0.3 will be based on maverick

* Shrink ubuntu.ext2 size, maybe use some compressed filesstem like squashfs
=> looking into it. but squashfs is RO ? would need to work around that
==> yes, but you can use unionfs with a dedicated ext3 write partition. this also allows easy "factory-reset"

* move gnome-panel to bottom to reduce accidental starting of programs etc.

* save display space: reduce gnome-panel and GTK title bar (~/.gtkrc-2.0) and font width 

* webbrowsers: firefox: reconfigure drag plugin (seems to be glitchy)

* keypad: remap arrow keymapping on rotation.
=> easy: call xmodmap with the rotation scripts.

* Phone program (sphone): enable audio in calls, run-on lines in SMS window, enable signaling on incoming call and text, 
=> I need to contact AmiPro on XDA he wrote it (see readme.txt)

* Touchscreen: reduce sensitivity, fix click function, implement multi touch
=> it seems to me press and hold to right click only works on some surfaces
   I think I will add a switch between left and right handed mode in gnome-panel and remove it

* Install google chrome (tm) browser

* Use ubuntu's netbook/mobile features
=> planning to use "netbook-launcher-efl" once switched to maverick (v0.3)

* Add current network name indicator and network type, like 3G gprs etc
=> propose to author of sphone

* Get rid of all the unneeded kernel sources
=> kernel sources for other devices must be removed

* ppp script: add prompt "Connect to 3G? It will kill current wifi session." 

* internal Camera Driver
=> internal camera will not work any time soon

* easy Rotation CW CCW 0° 180°  

* easy key mapper

* adjustable space for file system or ap2sd since V0.2 is running out of space too fast by installing apps

* there is a bug with installing gnome-rdp, install hangs at 78% and no more apps can be installed or removed
=> filesystem full or errornous?

* USB Bluetooth(with HID) until internal is working?
=> please leave a contact address for device testing purposes 
=> make internal work as well

* USB Camera and Video Grabber Driver



* USB DVBT very interesting!!!
=> please leave a contact address for device testing purposes 
 
* Sync with windows PC

* Screen off functions or button, to save battery and screen.

* Quicksynergy preinstalled for easy keyboard/mouse sharing.

* USB to VGA adapter support? Would be great... :)

[edit] Ubuntu for HD2 v0.1

  • Initial release
  • Based on Karmic Koala
  • Only for use with external keyboard and mouse (touchscreen too dodgy)
  • Lack of any networking support

[edit] Fedora

The rootfs can be found here : http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/arm/fedora/rootfs/ and you can make your own build with zImage etc... there : http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/HowToQemu
