News

2009-09-01 first version with austrian stuff, and focus on everyday usability
2009-09-12 based on SHR unstable, and with opkg upgrade support

Installing

  • have at least 1,5 hours of time ready, for the whole procedure
  • have fast internet, you need to download lots of stuff
  • download exactly these versions of SHR from z0ph
    1. [1] qi boot loader
    2. [2] kernel (kernöl)
    3. [3] root image


these are the original names of the files:

qi-s3c2442-1.0.2+gitr3b8513d8b3d9615ebda605de4bda18371aa3f359.udfu
shr-lite-glibc-ipk--20090808-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
uImage-2.6.29-oe11+gitr119838+2d158aae9d8d36f575504f59884ed8e80802efe2-r3.5-om-gta02
  • download customize pack from z0ph
    4. [4] customize pack (48 MBytes)
  • you can instead download customize pack without navit maps, its a bit smaller
    5. [5] customize pack without maps (20 MBytes)
  • make the base dir
cd /media/card
mkdir "____shr_testing"
  • unpack the customize pack to your SD-Card (to /media/card/____shr_testing/). my /media/card partition is type VFAT
cd /media/card/____shr_testing/
gzip -d customize_pack_shr.tar.gz
tar -xf customize_pack_shr.tar
  • to download (or update!!) the austrian map file later do (you need fast internet on your neo):
cd /media/card/____shr_testing/navit/
./get_austria.map.sh # this will download about 350 MBytes!!

Startup

  • boot up your neo, and let it run until you are logged in to your GSM net
  • then shutdown the neo (press and hold power button for a few seconds)
  • boot up your neo again, and let the neo log in to your GSM network again.

Localize for AT

  • for GOD's sake try NOT to get any phonecalls while you do this part
  • now connect your neo with usb and login via ssh
  • you NEED internet on your neo for this, otherwise dependent packages can't be downloaded
  • start (as root on your neo):
cd /media/card/____shr_testing/
./init_shr_testing.sh
  • this will take some time !! have coffee ready :-)
  • wait for the customize script to finish
  • now at least reboot 1 time (better 2 times)
  • [UG1] now start (also as root on your neo):
opkg update;opkg upgrade
  • [UG2] when finished start as root:
cd /media/card/____shr_testing/
./do_upgrade_shr.sh
  • hopefully no errors have occured
  • [UG1] [UG2] repeat those 2 steps every few days, if you want (dare) to receive all the bleeding edge updates

Test it

  • reboot your neo, and let the neo login to your GSM network
  • now navit should have austrian maps, and speak in german to you :-)
  • you can suspend/resume anytime! even when navit is speaking! yeah really, it works
  • date and time should also be correct
  • press AUX button quick and zedlock should come up, draw a big "Z" to unlock again
  • hold POWER button for 2 seconds, and neo will shutdown
  • if shutdown with POWER button fails, go to illume home screen, pull down the menu and press the big red "X", a menu should appear

Test it (german)

  • Navit sollte alles in deutsch anzeigen, österreichkarten laden und vor allem der neo sollte beim laufen von Navit nicht blanken oder suspenden

Startup Times

0:00 press button to boot neo
0:12 splash logo visible
2:24 enlightenment splash screen visible
2:36 illume topshelf visible
2:48 illume desktop icons visible
3:17 paroli visible (GSM not yet logged in!)


those times seem pretty catastophic in comparison to a normal mobile phone yet for the neo they are not really bad :-)
