Htc Universal

[wolfy]

Full X with phone utilities installed working image available

I've generated a full working image of the Debian GNU/Linux for the Universal, that contains X with xdm and icewm installed as the WM. And it includes full working datathief's phone scripts, and also additional generated kernel modules to enable mounting LUKS/DM encrypted volumes.

The image is easily installed in three steps and gives you a full working X phone distribution without additional modifications right after install.

It's huge though, 245 Megs bzipped, expanded takes around 600 Megs.

You can get it with the instructions on install at: http://sumoudou.org/index.php?cmd=%E7%9B%B...the%20Universal

BTW, it is Debian Sid, i.e. unstable, not Lenny, i.e. Testing.

Yeah, it includes everything fully configured, thus also the mp3libs with a functioning mplayer.

16GB card will work without a problem.

• titchy-button-daemon - handles power button, backlight button, etc.
• titchy-alarm-daemon - handles alarms

Sorry!  There aren't many functional changes, it's mostly just a repackaging thing.  I'm about to start building a rootfs that runs on both the Zaurus and the Uni, and I wanted to get the packages tidy first.

What's the perceived benefit in having a rootfs of this sort? Wouldn't it be better to keep them separate?

Isn't it to help dummies like me, ShiroiKuma?

Academic interest, really  -  I just want to see if I can do it.

Ignore that, I was probably over-eager, it worked later.

ShiroiKuma, do you use wlan or bluetooth?

And finally, datathief and ShiroiKuma; how did you setup your build system to cross-compile debs?
I'm running ubuntu with some from-source debian packages; I'll generally just get a deb-src, but please could you tell me your spell for cross-building debs?

Thanks

Would it be a good idea to COW the ext2 root filesystem and store the COW file in a separate JFFS2 partition?

When the COW gets full it can be comitted to the ext2 root.

comments?

I'm loving this, thanks guys; some questions though:

Can I specify a different timeout for htcuni-autosuspend when running on USB?

The nearest documentation I find is:
http://wiki.neilandtheresa.co.uk/Titchy_Mo...osuspend-daemon

which merely suggests it may be possible.

My current conf file: /etc/default/htcuni-autosuspend

Code: [Select]

# Configuration file for htcuni-autosuspend

# Suspend after 4 30-second periods (2 minutes) of inactivity
TIMEOUT=4
And.... I wonder if I can get swap-over-nfs working...

When it comes out of suspend, usb networking is broken and I have to pull and re-insert the cable and re-setup the PC side to get it to work.

Also.... when terminating a call, the device doesn't always switch back to the previous vt

I've a few scripts at home using "dialog" (which I prefer to whiptail) but I'm now doing a wrapper around gtkdialog so those scripts will work nicely in GUI sessions.

I guess that will be valuable here, too....
