= Installing Minimo web browser =

[http://www-archive.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/ Minimo] is a Mozilla based web browser. It features full [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_%28programming%29 AJAX] support and other goodies. Currently stock Openmoko build doesn't include Minimo.

== Running on Om2008.8 ==

From the Neo, download the minimo package:

wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/minimo.tar.bz2

Unpack it:

tar -xjf minimo.tar.bz2

Then install it:

opkg install minimo_0.02\+cvs20070626-r0_armv4t.ipk

If you get the following error:

* ERROR: Cannot satisfy the following dependencies for minimo:
* libfreetype6 (>= 2.3.6) *

First try:

opkg install libfreetype6

If this does not install a libfreetype6 version > 2.3.6, you can download a newer libfreetype6 from the Angstrom repository at this location: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?action=details&pnm=libfreetype6

Ex:

wget http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base/libfreetype6_2.3.6-r0_armv4t.ipk
opkg install libfreetype6_2.3.6-r0_armv4t.ipk
opkg install minimo_0.02\+cvs20070626-r0_armv4t.ipk

Using Minimo with the stock Om2008.8 gets annoying because the keyboard always takes up half the screen. I recommend reactivating the [[Keyboard_Toggle#Reactivating_the_keyboard_toggle_under_Om2008.8|Keyboard Toggle]] so that you can hide the keyboard while browsing.

I also highly recommend getting [[GPRS]] going so that you can browse on the go!

== Running on Om2008.4 ==

Download the minimo package:

wget http://www.ginguppin.de/files/minimo.tar.bz2

Unpack it:

tar -xjf minimo.tar.bz2

and install:

opkg install minimo_*

If any packages are missing, just install it from repository.

== Running in Xephyr PC environment ==

Here are instructions on how to run minimo in Xephyr PC environment and how to use other third party packages too.

* [http://bec-systems.com/web/content/view/79/9/ Instructions for including new OpenEmbedded packages to your project]

These instructions should be updated to use a custom image rather than DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS -- see link above.

Alternatively, a binary ipkg was posted here[[http://www.ginguppin.de/files/minimo.tar.bz2]]

=== Setup build environment ===

If you have built your Openmoko using MokoMakefile some of these steps might not be familiar to you.

Assume your Openmoko root is at ~/workspace/moko

First setup build environment variables:
<pre>
moo@hacker:~/workspace/moko/build$ . ../setup-env
</pre>

Then checkout minimo from OpenEmbedded repository:
<pre>
moo@hacker:~/workspace/moko/build$ bitbake minimo
</pre>

Edit local.conf and add minimo to build dependencies list.

<pre>
MACHINE = "qemux86"
DISTRO = "openmoko"
BUILD_ARCH = "i686"
INHERIT += " devshell"
SRCDATE_eds-dbus = "now"
DISTRO_EXTRA_RDEPENDS = "minimo"
</pre>

After local.conf has added new packages, one must refresh bitbake tasks.

<pre>
bitbake task-base -crebuild
</pre>

Now, you should be able to rebuild root fs using MokoMakefile.

<pre>
make openmoko-devel-image
</pre>

=== Tips ===

The default Openmoko distribution lacks ''/etc/resolv.conf'' file which is used to configure system DNS look-up. Without this file, failing domain name look-up prevents web browsing. The easiest way to fix is to copy the host system resolv.conf to the rootfs.

<pre>
moo@hacker:~/workspace/moko$ cp /etc/resolv.conf rootfs/etc/resolv.conf
</pre>

If build fails with

<pre>
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible $OMDIR/local/tmp/staging/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/lib/libIDL-2.a when searching for -lIDL-2
</pre>
(here minimo is installed in a [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Application_Development_Crash_Course#Setting_Up_a_Local_Overlay Local Overlay], so your path will perhaps differ) try installing the libidl-dev package on the buildhost:

<pre>
sudo aptitude install libidl-dev
</pre>

Currently, nothing shows up in the Homebase page (under FSO, anyway). If anyone knows a solution, please update here. For this reason, there really are no bookmarks to speak of.

=== In chroot'ed environment ===

Following instructions in [[Getting Openmoko working on host with Xephyr]] to get yourself chroot'ed into Openmoko environment.

Start Xephyr. You don't need to start Openmoko session, minimo can run as is.

<pre>
/ $ minimo
</pre>

Qtopia / Qt Extended on FreeRunner

2008-10-02T19:34:51Z

Emacsian: /* Current status */

{{Languages|Qtopia_on_FreeRunner}}

This page provides instructions on how to install Qtopia (proper, not the [[ASU]] or [[QtopiaOnX11]] efforts) on the GTA02 (FreeRunner) phone. It is similar to the [[Qtopia on Neo1973]] page.

{|align=right
|__TOC__
|}

== Current status ==
On 29 August 2008, Trolltech released the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=79 Qtopia flash image for the FIC Neo FreeRunner (gta02)] containing the Qtopia 4.3.2 release (Version: 4.3.2-290808) (GPL version).
See [http://doc.trolltech.com/qtopia4.3/release-4-3-2.html Release-Notes]

This image can successfully make and receive calls and text messages. It can read all contacts from the SIM card (which the updated 2007.2 does not appear to be able to do). It contains apps that appear to be more stable than the ones found in the 2007.2 image. It has multiple input methods that appear to be more mature. It does not, however, have a web browser or a GPS application. There are however at least two third-party GPS applications available:
* [http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2008/08/27/porting-xgps-to-qtopia-for-the-freerunner xgps here]
* [http://www.linux4.be/fr/roadmap.html RoadMap(experimental) here]

On 2nd of September 2008 Trolltech also released a 4.3.3-snapshot which fixes a number issues (sms messages not retrieved after resume; Qtopia getting confused between two calls; Make default call volume down and mic up; Added echo fix.)

You can find all the Qtopia images [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=6 here]

=== What to expect in the next release (Qtopia 4.4)? ===
Qtopia 4.4 has been released with the name of [http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/release-4-4-1.html QtExtended 4.4]. The FreeRunner image will be ready in 3 days (3 okt).
* a [http://n2.nabble.com/qtopia-update-tp832851p832888.html browser] based on webkit
* [http://n2.nabble.com/-qtopia--rotate-screen--tp841805p841841.html screen rotation in the settings application] (so no automatic rotation)
* [http://n2.nabble.com/Echo-issue-on-OM2008.08-potentially-solved-tp791642.html noise reduction]
* GPS api
* usb net/storage switching
* Gtalk support
* [http://n2.nabble.com/forum/Permalink.jtp?root=841805&post=1083388&page=y better support for non-english languages in the keyboard]

== Option 1: Flashing Qtopia to FreeRunner ==

Download the image mentioned above and follow the instructions here: [[Flashing the Neo FreeRunner]]

== Option 2: Dual-Booting between Qtopia and 2007.2 (Qtopia boots from MicroSD card) ==

Installation Requirements:

# SSH shell access to 2007.2 based image of the FreeRunner through USB interface or WLAN.
# A Desktop Linux distro (to unpack the .jffs2 image, I ran Ubuntu under VMWare)

=== Preparing the SD card ===

See the [[Booting from SD#Prepare the SD card| Preparing the SD Card]] section of the [[Booting from SD]] page for partitioning and formatting instructions. After you complete the "Formatting the SD Card" steps, return here and execute the following:

mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card
mkdir /media/card/boot

mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2

This will set you up properly for the installation of the root filesystem and the kernel in the steps below.

=== Installing Qtopia ===

==== Unpacking the Qtopia Root Filesystem Image ====

Download the Qtopia FLASH image from [[Latest Images#Qtopia images]] to your Linux box and extract its contents:

tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-*.tgz

You should now have two files:
#uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
#qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.jffs2
Now, mount the root file system from the jffs2 using the commands found [[Userspace root image#Mounting the JFFS2 image on a loop back device (Block Memory MTD Emulation) |here]]. However, in the mount command, substitute the image filename for "/dev/mtdblock0".

==== Creating a compressed tarball ====

Next, tar up the root filesystem:

# tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -C <mountpoint> .

Where ''<mountpoint>'' is the location where the jff2 filesystem was mounted. Note the space and the period after the mountpoint.

==== Installing Root Filesystem ====

Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the MicroSD that is mounted on the FreeRunner:

scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz root@192.168.0.202:/media/mmcblk0p2/

Log in to your FreeRunner and unpack the root filesystem:

cd /media/mmcblk0p2
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*

'''''Note:''''' the last step removes the kernel image from the second partition. For some reason, U-Boot cannot find the uImage.bin file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory.

==== Installing Kernel ====

From your Linux box, rename <tt>uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin</tt> to <tt>uImage.bin</tt> and copy it to the boot directory on the first partition of the MicroSD card. Depending on the version of U-Boot you have installed, this may not work. To prevent any possible issues, copy it to the <tt>/media/card</tt> directory as well. There is plenty of room on the first partition to have <tt>uImage.bin</tt> in both locations.

mv uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin
scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/boot/
scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/

==== Pointing Qtopia to the SD Card ====

Lorn Potter on the mailing lists pointed this out:

Qtopia was designed to be run from the root partition on a flash chip, not from a removable sd card.

You would have to edit the etc/default/Trolltech/Storage.conf file to make it forget about the sd
/dev node, to be able to run it this way"

Another user's solution to this is the following:

Edit this file: " /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/Storage.conf
And change the [MountPoint0] section so it resembles this:
-[
[MountPoint0]
Name[] = SD Card
Path=/dev/mmcblk0p1
Removable = 0
Applications = 0
Documents = 0
ContentDatabase = 0

== Option 3: updating from source ==

{{note|This will upgrade only opt/Qtopia directory, you should use opkg update/upgrade for the rest}}
Original Qtopia images (the distribution released by Trolltech, not ASU) are rarely released as a rootfs image, but the source code is often updated. If you want to reflash your OM with the latest version of Qtopia you might build it from sources. This has been explained in [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-August/024785.html this thread] of the community mailing list. Summing up:

* get the latest toolchain released by trolltech: http://www.qtopia.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=38 and unzip it on your PC (as root)
cd /
wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
tar xvzf arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
* get the latest snapshot from trolltech: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/
* once dowloaded untar it
tar xvzf qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806.tar.gz
* make a "build" dir
mkdir build
cd build
* configure and make:
../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806/configure -device ficgta01
make
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:

make install

will make a root directory into the ''build'' directory. There you can find an ''image'' that directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.

== Booting into Qtopia ==

Now shutdown the FreeRunner

shutdown -h now

Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from [[Booting the Neo FreeRunner]])

* Press and hold Power button
* Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
* A boot menu will appear.
* Press the AUX button to select "[[Boot from sd card|Boot from MicroSD]]" and then press the Power button to execute.

Qtopia should now boot.

'''''Note:''''' you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run

umount /dev/mmcblk0p2
fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2

This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.

== Internationalization ==

Qtopia comes with support for German and American English, and users from other countries will find that Qtopia's predictive keyboard makes writing in another language near impossible. One way to disable the predictive keyboard is to simply replace /opt/Qtopia/etc/dict/en_US/common.dawg and words.dawg with empty files (after backing them up). Qtopia normally looks in these files for words to suggest, and if it doesn't find any words that fit, it simply shows what you actually wrote.

Adding characters to the keyboard requires modifications to the source code, as described [http://www.qtopia.net/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=512&forum=16 here].

[[Category:Qtopia]]

== Suspend /Resume ==
It seems that suspend/resume only works when the FreeRunner has been connected to a powersource (only a few seconds if sufficient). If you boot from battery, it will never suspend until you have plugged it in at least for a couple of seconds.

== Bugs ==

See [http://trolltech.org/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=front Trolltech's tracker] ([http://trolltech.org/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=advsearch&searchstr=&bugs=on&sugs=on&product=2&functionalarea=&versionfound=&versionfixed=&priority=-1&status=0&resolution=-1 Qtopia Tracker]).

Bug reports should be sent to qt-bugs@trolltech.com.

make
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:

make install

will make a root directory into the ''build'' directory. There you can find an ''image'' that directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.

== Booting into Qtopia ==

Now shutdown the FreeRunner

shutdown -h now

Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from [[Booting the Neo FreeRunner]])

* Press and hold Power button
* Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
* A boot menu will appear.
* Press the AUX button to select "[[Boot from sd card|Boot from MicroSD]]" and then press the Power button to execute.

Qtopia should now boot.

'''''Note:''''' you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run

umount /dev/mmcblk0p2
fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2

This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.

== Internationalization ==

Qtopia comes with support for German and American English, and users from other countries will find that Qtopia's predictive keyboard makes writing in another language near impossible. One way to disable the predictive keyboard is to simply replace /opt/Qtopia/etc/dict/en_US/common.dawg and words.dawg with empty files (after backing them up). Qtopia normally looks in these files for words to suggest, and if it doesn't find any words that fit, it simply shows what you actually wrote.

Adding characters to the keyboard requires modifications to the source code, as described [http://www.qtopia.net/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=512&forum=16 here].

== Suspend /Resume ==
It seems that suspend/resume only works when the FreeRunner has been connected to a powersource (only a few seconds if sufficient). If you boot from battery, it will never suspend until you have plugged it in at least for a couple of seconds.
