Astro Slide - Hardware / Keyboard-mat

« on: April 18, 2024, 03:27:03 pm »

Hi


I am using my astro as a daily driver and i am quite happy with it. UNfortunately, the ESC key once got stuck and perforated 2 connection on the keyboard mat. Thus, ESC and 1 key do not work anymore. As a workaround, I remapped ! and 1, but this is not very comfortable.

Is there any way to get hold of a keyboard mat? Any idea about the ODM to ask them directly? Planet, of course, never answered my mail.

A second option for me would be to transplant the mat of my still working cosmo. But before doing so, I would like to have an idea, whether the two are interchangeable? Any hints?

Thanks in advance!

« on: April 18, 2024, 02:15:33 pm »

Hello,


I wonder were on the xdaforum.com site is the astro device hidden? For a lot of devices, there is a subsection, but I cant find anything for the astro. Only the gemini has its subforum.

Any hint?

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Thunderbird error - Debian noRoot

« on: September 11, 2020, 04:46:37 pm »

Hi
I wanted an easy one click Linux desktop solution and I got it:
Debian NoRoot https://sourceforge.net/projects/libsdl-android/

But thunderbird ("segmentation fault"), firefox and chromium dont run.
apt on the console works so internet is not the problem.

Any hints?


My "solution":
setup debian in userland - thunderbird, libreoffice - everything works like on a desktop!

Hi

My HP-Printer, which works fine under other Linux devices, is not recognized while plugged via an usb hub.

Any ideas?

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / GSM-calls?

« on: March 26, 2020, 04:47:03 pm »

Hi

now, as Linux has access to the sim - is there a program which can be used for ordinary pone calls/sms via GSM, like the phone app in Android? No VoIP or sip etc, of course.

Thanks a lot!

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Debian not booting

« on: February 27, 2020, 08:36:58 am »

Hi all


I successfully partitioned the device according to the PC instructions and installed TWRP, Debian, Android Root.

Everything works, but not Debian. No matter which partition-model or location of boot-partition. Booting Debian allways stops at the first screen with the Debian logo - even after waiting 6h.

Any help would be really appreciated!

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Ubuntu with Anlinux

« on: January 04, 2020, 03:54:07 pm »

Hi

After trying userland, I used now Anlinux. I managed to get a running xfce-Desktop too, a bit better readable, but still wron resolution (something like 1024x768). And of course: Keyboard setting dont match at all which makes text editing a pain. What a pity ...

Anyone got a usable LinuxDesktop running with either Userland or Anlinux?

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Ubuntu with userland

« on: January 03, 2020, 07:47:58 am »

Hi folks,
I am pretty new here, with only a little Linux knowledge. I use it as main OS at home and backed the cosmo to have a tiny Linux Laptop on the go. As we are still waiitng for the promised nativ linux -support, I played aroudn with userland-app. I finallygot lxde running, but:
- all desktop elements are so tiny, that the system is unusable (forwordprocessing p.e.)
- changing configuration files to correct this fail, as the keyboard doesnt really match. Having a german keyboard, i choose plain german in the installation process (from 10 variants).
- external mouse (via usb-c) does not work

Any help would be appreciated.
