Astro Slide - General Discussion / Bike mount

« on: February 02, 2023, 07:28:44 pm »

Has anyone found a bike mount matching the dimensions of the Astro Slide? I personally like the variants where the phone is being inserted into waterproof bag and this bag the is being attached to the handlebar. Like this one:

https://www.ebay.de/itm/303740909986?hash=item46b85e79a2:g:f1QAAOSwVb5flf9o&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8PRqu7Bhag5prQmCzSsr9EQ4e56b0IDhJ%2F3Wtj%2BD3bw1Rzk%2FVv00ylF4AHzyeAGhGGq8bw0%2FwQHOgJQTf%2FVwhyJTZUFJI2JgIaRfWUbRWx4gFQCwBPp%2B8gOs1Xe4CgHQaBvNkKi8nxPOlFwX3IoNYAAc1gady8Bxjik6l5p8rJZ2nqzw5EnK0Wi4drtA4RvtOoMrGlWEBQeORTkOtMibxygUS8nQI7mCnl8M1NEFqtlyGZlLjP0bVobalbLu42McV6S8sO7EBEDsN2jWzoP%2Bfxx2YTvXl0RCOXXreCpQIX%2FLZagb0kRoEFmVmv9DztEaeA%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABFBMzO6qysJh

But I have not found bags of this kind matćhing the dimensions of the Astro. Any recommendations?

Thanks

Looks like the Airmail problem has been cause by the Google WebView bug:
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2021/3/22/22345696/google-android-apps-crashing-fix-system-webview

Probably the update came automatically so Airmail just started do work normally again.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / [Solved] Airmail crashing after update to V25

« on: March 23, 2021, 06:51:44 am »

Hi,
after the update airmail stopped working for me. Since I have updated yesterday and I have noticed the problem today, I cannot tell for sure if this is connected to the update. Airmail crashes when displaying a mail from IMAP. I have not tried yet to clear airmail date / reinstall airmail.

Does this happen for other airmail users?

Thanks.

Mith

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Re: New firmware How to set the default booting partition ?

« on: March 23, 2021, 06:41:41 am »

Hi,
in the boot menu navigate to the desired boot menu entry using Vol+/Vol-. Vol+/Vol- has to be pressed at least once. Then use Cursor left/right to select whether to retain or set the default entry. You can see the change in the Default line below the boot menu. Then use Enter or Esc to confirm the selection.

This howto should have been part of PCs update. Anyways, I am glad we can eventually set the default boot menu entry.

Cosmo Communicator News - March '21
Dear Cosmo backers!
The long awaited Android firmware update for Cosmo is now available. This is the v25 version.
This version includes:

Bootloader improvements - you can now set the default booting partition

But how to do this ?
There is a menu with boot options, but I cannot navigate to the option to select and set the default boot partition. What keys I have to press  to select the default boot partition? Thanks.
Thanks .

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Airmail 1st/2nd class folder selection

« on: March 11, 2021, 08:59:33 am »

For enabling disabling notifications for imap folders I need to distinguish between 1st and 2nd class folders in airmail. I can enable/disable notifications for folder classes, but I have not found an option to set which folder is 1st class (in german: Hauptordner ) and which folder is 2nd class (in gerrman: Nebenordner) in Airmail.

Anybody knows?
Thanks.

In the meanwhile I have found out that the folder list gets refreshed when I enter the incoming server settings and then selecting next. So, this problem is solved now.

I have just added some Imap folders with thunderbird. Does anybody know how to refresh the folder list with airmail? With K9 mail I remember a menu item refresh folders, but I cannot find this with airmail.
Tanks!

Cosmo Communicator - Linux / Potential Future Debian on Phones Distro?

« on: July 10, 2020, 02:20:35 pm »

Hey, maybe there's another potential option for Debian on our phones......

Work in progress....but it's designed to run on phones.....

https://liliputing.com/2020/07/mobian-is-a-...-on-debian.html

Really depends on getting all hardware features working in Debian with the MTK chipset. I don't know what the status of the Cosmo is, but I never managed to get GPS working on the Gemini. The fingerprint sensor might also be a problem.

Otherwise this looks really nice.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / Skype incoming calls/messages

« on: July 08, 2020, 03:12:53 pm »

My Cosmo does not ring or show incoming messages when Skype is not the active app running in the foreground. As soon as I return do desktop or have another app in foreground I do not catch incoming Skype calls.

I already have checked all notification settings I can find and also disabled battery optimization and gave overlay permission.

Does Skype work properly for anyone else on the Cosmo?
Anything else I can try?

Thx. Mith

Cosmo Communicator - Android / V22 upgrade taskbar/home screen misbehaviour

« on: July 04, 2020, 06:49:11 am »

Great idea! But I've never done that before. How do I do that?

Magisk Modules are installed in /data/adb/modules/[modulename]. Some modules have a service.sh script there which gets executed on startup. Just install a magisk module and add the two lines to the service.sh file afterwards. (requires root) Since I have installed my exfat module anyways (and it has a service.sh file) I just have added the lines there. (If you want to use the module for this,  it can be found on mygnu.de)

I also replaced the default boot image with a magisk image (@see: https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=35879) so it boots into rooted android by default (so the script gets executed). Anyways it seems, with the newly rooted boot image, the cosmo is far more stable than with planets rooting method. I have not seen a spontaneous reboot since then. Maybe the official kernel image is outdated and does not contain the kernel modifications for V22.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / V22 upgrade taskbar/home screen misbehaviour

« on: July 03, 2020, 08:48:54 am »

Sadly, it didn't survive a reboot and I had to reboot about 8 times before it booted up again so that I could run the commands again. Planet better be fixing this with V23, 'cause this way, it's getting hard to use my Cosmo...

I have just added the two comands

settings put global device_provisioned 1
settings put secure user_setup_complete 1

to a service.sh file of a magisk module, so the commands should get run on every startup (when booting rooted). I am curious to see if the issue happens again with that. Maybe this also is an option for you.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / V22 upgrade taskbar/home screen misbehaviour

« on: July 01, 2020, 08:03:47 pm »

See? I knew I couldn't be the only one with this issue! I reported it a few days ago in the V22 is out thread.

But I can't use your solution  ADB won't recognize my phone as Developer Options are inaccessible due to this bug, meaning I can't enable USB Debugging for ADB. And I can't access a root shell either since the Play Store won't install apps anymore, APK's won't install anymore either and Planet's TWRP still isn't working. Do you have any suggestion as to how I can get a root shell?

Someone managed using adb by "brute force":
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.p...;postcount=2706
Unfortunately he did not mention the Android version used. Maybe this is also possible on the Cosmo.

You could also try to install the rooted image from sd card as described by Planet Computers: http://support.planetcom.co.uk/index.php/Linux_for_Cosmo
Afterwards install termux from apk (since Play store does not work): https://f-droid.org/packages/com.termux/ and use the settings commands from above.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / V22 upgrade taskbar/home screen misbehaviour

« on: July 01, 2020, 10:50:20 am »

After one of the random reboots with V22,  today this happened again. Maybe switching between rooted/non rooted due to reboot is connected? Solution worked, as before.

Cosmo Communicator - Android / V22 upgrade taskbar/home screen misbehaviour

« on: June 25, 2020, 05:26:36 pm »

Two days after upgrading from V19 to V22 my Cosmo suddenly started to behave strange. Most functionality of the taskbar has been missing. The home screen suddenly only had one page. Taks switching became impossible.

The reason has been, that due to a bug in/after OTA update the device has been struck in initial setup mode, where most functions are locked.

This can be solved by running the following commands in a root shell or with adb:
settings put global device_provisioned 1
settings put secure user_setup_complete 1

Initially I thought I had to perform a factory reset, but  then I found the issue on: https://www.xda-developers.com/broken-navig...ota-update/amp/
