NOTE: The illume info is outdated now. Just opkg install illume-theme-illume and modify /etc/enlightenment/default-profile to get the wrench and qwerty buttons.
I used the Om2008.8-update as the base image, then modify it for daily usage.
First of all I would like to use the illume default keyboard instead of the qtopia one because it gets a full-qwerty layout and it’s more suitable for terminal application. It also gives me access to illume configuration besides of the default ‘Settings’ application, which is not enough for advance usage. To do this, you need to switch to the testing repository.
- backup the original /etc/opkg directory. cp -r /etc/opkg /etc/opkg.orig
replace all urls under /etc/opkg to the testing repository Then remove all the illume related packages and install the new ones.
opkg list_installed | grep illume | awk ‘{print $1}’ | xargs opkg -force-depends remove
- opkg update; opkg install illume-theme-asu; opkg install illume
opkg list_installed | grep libe | grep cvs | awk ‘{print $1}’ | xargs opkg install Now delete the old configs and switch to the illume default profile.
rm -rf ~/.e
replace ‘asu’ by ‘illume’ in /etc/enlightenment/default_profile Prevent the qtopia keyboard from showing up:
Add “export QTOPIA_NO_VIRTUAL_KEYBOARD=1” into /etc/X11/Xsession.d/89qtopia The second thing I did is to lower the volume of gsm handset. The original setting is so loud that everyone around me can hear the caller talking.
(call someone)
- run alsamixer
- scroll to the right end, lower the “Speaker” volume. You can do this while talking to test the value.
- alsactl store -f /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state
(hang up) I also need Chinese font so I can read the sms messages.
(on host) scp <chinese_font.ttf> root@192.168.0.202:
- mv ~/<chinese_font.ttf> /usr/share/fonts/truetype
vi /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/qpe.conf , find [Font], change FontFamily[] to the name of the ttf. (not the filename) Change back to the default om2008.8 repository.
mv /etc/opkg /etc/opkg.testing
- mv /etc/opkg.orig /etc/opkg Reboot.
