Added lpiacompat flavour for mccaslins
Tested the lpia and lpiacompat kernels on Samsung Q1 and Crownbeach
Fixed some configs - VM86, stock DRI, madwifi support, etc.
'''Week 05 -12 April'''
Line 33: Line 39:
 * Moblin Image Creator
Switched over to using LPIA when creating platforms and targets.
Some GUI improvements were mad

 * Moblin.org
Packages are now being built with LPIA architecture.

 * Moblin Applets (moblin-utilities)
Three remaining plugins expected before Oct 12: volume status bar, brightness status bar, and touchscreen calibration applets. The first two will be taken from gnome-applets with all the bonobo interface code stripped out, the last will come from gnome-control-center's mouse caplet combined with evtouch code.
 Applet Updates
   Network:
   Network and Date/Time are now just links to the gnome-system-tools executables.

 * UI and Apps
  UI
   Grid-layout / html Home Screen: Much progress on this home screen UI this week.
 attachment:home-image.jpg
   We can now show and start applications. This is based on the same gtkmozembed plugin that hosts the current flash UI. I built the changes into mobile_basic_flash
   package which name should be changed eventually to reflect its new abilities (e.g. mobile_mozembed_home), but will wait until after gutsy so that we don't have to introduce a new package at this late hour.
   Switching between html and flash is just a matter of pointing to a different startup page. Package will be ready for use on moblin this afternoon. Will work to get it into UME soon after. Still could use a
   couple of official graphics for background from Ken.
 
  Clutter Home Screen:
   Initial code drop exists on moblin.org, but not yet integrated into home screen. You can build and play with:
  {{{ 'git clone http://moblin.org/repos/projects/moblin-clutter-home.git/'}}}
   To launch on desktop, start application with {{{"desktop-launcher -w"}}} otherwise it will take over your desktop. I requested libclutter-0.4.2 related libraries for gutsy. Not sure if it is too late for approval.
   This process took a long time
 
  Theme: Not sure of the status of the theme. Need to get that finished. I know there are some new components that should be considered such as home screen button backgrounds.
 
  Bug with current flash UI: We are trying to resolve a big bug with performance when the current UI is running. CPU is 10-35% when just idle on flash UI and application startup on crown beach is dismal. We
  think we tracked it down to something that occurs when "loadConfig" is run in flash. Hopefully this is a simple fix. We also found a bug when the flashUI didn't start successfully and a setTimeout call was
  triggered every 1/1000th of a second.
 * Lots of work on the touchscreen calibration and background applet upgrades. Background images now load much faster.
 * Work on debugging some rendering issues in midbrowser
 * We are about to stabilize the Moblin kernel so mostly work on bug fixing.
 * A desktop-file-utils functional set has been added to Ubuntu-Mobile in all platforms when using moblin-image-creator. Also a cancel option has been added while creating a project
 * It should now be fairly easy to create a lpia VM image; as a next step we fill it with moblin-image-creator's output and add some fset's for vmware and/or qemu support
 * Some debate about the choice of Java runtime. We should use openjdk but the web plugin will still be gcj's and this is not feature complete
 * Fixed the interface integration on treb

Welcome to the MobileAndEmbedded reporting page. Every month this page reveals a snapshot of the work that has been going on in the Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Community. If you have have been working hard on the project and want to let others know what you have been up to, try to summarize it here. Community contributions are actively encouraged. A few guidelines for how to write good points are:

  • Keep it simple and short - single sentences are best. Smile :)

  • Try to summarise your work and not be over-detailed - we don't need to know specifics, just a summary of the kind
  • Where possible, include relevant links.

You should get all your reporting included here by the 22nd of every month.
