02:27.14PuffTheMagicthey should just roll it up into 1
02:28.10PuffTheMagicHas anyone tried the psfreedom kernel module ps3 jailbreak on 145?
02:30.54ka6soxokay so...the kernel package is a 2.6.25 but the patches are for 2.6.24? um...
02:31.06PuffTheMagicya
02:31.12PuffTheMagicthat is reasonable
02:32.53NuttyBunnyHi everyone, did I miss too much about the FrankenDoctor over the last 4 hours after PreHype's stupid posts? :)
02:35.12PuffTheMagicka6sox, i've applied many "upstream" patches to older kernels with out failing
02:35.35PuffTheMagicim sure it they either failed to rename the patch
02:35.45PuffTheMagicor the its really .24
02:36.39ka6soxya, I would hope so...we should verify that (that either the source or the patch is incorrectly named).

02:46.19PuffTheMagicdestinal, i just ask questions
02:46.25PuffTheMagicask people to explain theme selves
02:46.34PuffTheMagicand that seems to be something people dont want to do
02:46.36destinalPuffTheMagic: I mean that you don't sugar coat or tiptoe like some do
02:46.45destinaljust like "wtf?"
02:47.28destinalit totally works for me but some people get pissed when you're direct
02:47.41jacqueshalfhalo, my machine doesn't seem to be going into turbo mode
02:48.07halfhalowhat are you trying to do
02:48.56jacqueshalfhalo, verify that turbo mode is working under linux on my machine - I expect to see it go to 3.33GHz when only one core is loaded, yet cpufreq-info and /proc/cpuinfo both say 2.66GHz
02:49.06PuffTheMagicdestinal, i have to provoke discussion, its how i learn, it only turns into arguments when people resist ;)
02:50.22destinalPuffTheMagic: and I was just thinking that we've had a lot of useful stuff figured out from these kinds of arguments, also
02:50.23jacquesthis is running Fedora14, which has 2.6.35.6 kernel, so it should be new enough, I just dunno if there's something else I need to do to enable turbo
02:51.17halfhaloturbo is not dependent on the os though... are you sure its only a single core being stressed enough?
02:51.39halfhaloand it will jump in and out of turbo really fast, and if your cpu is to hot it will not trigger
02:52.00destinalmaking people question things and defend positions is good for improving  / evolving things
02:52.16jacqueshalfhalo, what bothers me is cpufreq-info lists max speed per core/thread as 2.66
02:52.45halfhaloit may set that at boot though... which is what it would be at max
02:52.56PuffTheMagicdestinal, im always thinking outside of the box and pushing limits, i need people to help constrain and refine those thoughts
02:53.01jacquesI'm running bzflag, which is notorious for loading a single core
02:53.44ka6soxokay so I guess I should email the opensource email @ palm and ask them to fix that link.
02:57.57destinalPuffTheMagic: I mean to go back to frankendoctor but I'm distracted by the reprap 3d printer motherboard a friend of mine and I are designing and daydreaming about what you could do with multitouch on a webos tablet.   (multitouch remote desktop for ubuntu unity and microsoft surface comes to mind, and 3d sculipting with 5 point inputs and an accelerometer) -- hard to focus.
02:59.19destinalI wonder how hard it would be to reverse engineer Nook or Kindle's iphone apps since they're not likely to come up with webos ports and a webos tablet would be a good ebook reader
02:59.36destinalwe just need an online store to get new books from as well as pdf and epub
02:59.58PuffTheMagicim sure there will be a kindle app

03:00.58destinalon the one hand, a tablet's just different in size, but on the other hand, it's really used totally differently
03:01.44PuffTheMagicthey need to figure out how to do desktop widgets within webos
03:01.55PuffTheMagicelse tablets will be lots of wasted spce
03:01.56PuffTheMagicspace
03:03.29destinalI wonder... a lot of the webos ui is javascript including the launcher, do we need pam to change anything?  has anyone played with the new touchstone mode where apps display stuff?

03:08.09PuffTheMagici want want real widget suppport
03:08.10destinalI hope the tablets have bluetooth.  the new bluetooth serial could make a lot of stuff possible.  I'm thinking about making an adapter that plugs into an iphone dock and lets you use iphone controls over webos music player etc
03:08.16oc80zc40 going to work out
03:09.00egaudetjacques, I don't think you get the current frequency reported in turbo mode
03:09.01destinalserial terminals could be handy, and infrared remote controls
03:09.02halfhaloPuffTheMagic: what I mean was if the background was an app, you could pass it information to make a widget, sorta like with notifications
03:09.48destinalan I2c to bluetooth adapter for a nunchuk would be nice, I think the nunchuk would be cooler for webos games than a wiimote
03:09.51PuffTheMagici want an api/framwork where i can add/rearrange widgets like i can move apps in the launcher
03:10.11PuffTheMagicgranted, that would be very limited on a pre screen
03:10.21PuffTheMagicbut more useful on a tablet
03:10.31PuffTheMagicbut much appreciated on a pre
03:10.37PuffTheMagicif they had widgets
03:10.41PuffTheMagicand hid the launcher
03:10.46PuffTheMagici would actually use the wave launcher

03:17.29ka6soxsparkfun is an excellent source
03:17.43linuxjacquessparkfun FTW
03:19.04destinalwe never did get usb host working but I did get it to try, it gave power but never enumerated.  I should look at that again, usb would be easier.  but if it's not physically possible at least we can steal power from the pre..
03:19.46destinalwouldn't need batteries in the bt controllers
03:20.23ka6soxI think with the pre there are spots with a USB Host.
03:20.42destinalka6sox: spots?
03:20.49ka6soxon the boards.
03:21.04egaudetlinuxjacques, what available frequencies are reported?
03:21.10PuffTheMagici cant get the jailbreak mod for ps3 working
03:21.14PuffTheMagicit just reboots my phone
03:21.24destinalka6sox: it's a USB OTG chipset and I can make it go into host mode with the right cable but no more than that
03:21.37destinalka6sox: it provides power but won't communicate
03:22.16ka6soxso the kernel doesn't have the support?
03:23.02egaudetand are you using acpi-cpufreq module
03:23.03destinalka6sox: it looked like it did but wasn't enumerating but this was a while ago
03:23.30destinalka6sox: and before we had our own kernel working to hack on
03:23.42ka6soxI should look at the 4030 docs to see if there is a problem there.
03:23.54ka6sox(like it needs to be put in a different mode)
03:25.04linuxjacquesegaudet, available frequency steps: 2.67 GHz, 2.67 GHz, 2.53 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 2.27 GHz, 2.13 GHz, 2.00 GHz, 1.87 GHz, 1.73 GHz, 1.60 GHz, 1.47 GHz, 1.33 GHz, 1.20 GHz
03:25.48halfhaloyup, its not showing turbo mode
03:27.41egaudetyes it is
03:27.46egaudetthat first one is P0 turbo
03:28.56linuxjacques2.67 is the "normal" speed; it's supposed to go up to 3.33 in turbo
03:29.01egaudetof course the frequency will vary at any given time by hardware
03:29.15egaudetlinuxjacques, I bet it -will- but you will not see that change in cpuinfo
03:29.21linuxjacquesegaudet, how can I tell if it's working?
03:30.59egaudetlinuxjacques, I'm not sure if there is an existing utility to measure the current frequency but run a benchmark, then set it to the P1 frequency and run it again
03:31.55linuxjacquesegaudet, ah I see what you meant now - first and second frequencies are listed as the same
03:32.13egaudetthey should be different by like 1 MHz or something
03:32.28egaudetI think just to differentiate/control
03:33.16egaudetlinuxjacques, just found this, not sure if it will help you:  http://code.google.com/p/i7z/
03:34.06linuxjacquesegaudet, sweet, thanks
03:35.02egaudetnp, I've actually been working on / learning this stuff at work the past week so it's fresh in my mind
03:36.09ka6soxdestinal did you find the control bits to change the TWL_4030 into a host instead of a target?
03:37.14egaudetspeaking of TWL4030, has anyone tried to use the hardware voltage scaling stuff in the kernel on Pre?
03:37.31linuxjacquesegaudet, that tool's pretty neat. it says turbo is enabled
03:37.46egaudetnice, does it report the measured frequency?

03:39.01egaudetre: volt scaling, using CONFIG_OMAP_VOLT_VMODE rather than CONFIG_OMAP_VOLT_SR_BYPASS
03:39.03ka6soxegaudet, the Android guys have...and jhojho I think has done some in warthog.
03:39.30egaudetfrom what I understand it should allow those with "strong" devices to operate at lower voltages automatically
03:39.40linuxjacquesegaudet, and when I run yes, I can see the freq going up to 3.3GHz
03:41.21linuxjacquesegaudet, yeah it reports the measured freq
03:41.38egaudetnice, I may have to play with it on Monday :)
03:42.01destinalka6sox: you could echo   host  or otg    /sys/devices/platform/musb_hdrc/mode   or something,  setting host caused the kernel to panic,  setting otg and putting in the right cable caused it to work as a host for power at least
03:42.15destinals/otg/otg >/
03:42.56destinalcould have been that I didn't have the right modules in my kernel or there was an issue somewhere
03:43.51ka6soxdestinal, i think that when I read the usb_gadget code it would seem that if you changed the mode that the resulting status to cause the USB code to crash.

06:14.52rwhitbydestinal: carrier tarballs include carrier-specific firmware for some of them, and verizon carrier firmware also somehow crippled the GPS to their own navigation software, and there are also services as well as mojo apps.

06:15.34rwhitbythey are much much more than just webOS apps.
06:15.57quotemstrI'm shocked, shocked to see Verizon crippling a phone.
06:27.08curious1I am shocked to see HP go with Verizon for a first release.  The sprint pre was palms fault, but the major downfall on the Pre plus is Verizon's.  (at least form what i have read.  I am sure there are bags of money behind the decision that i dont understand)
06:34.25quotemstrApparently you can get the Pre Plus to run on Sprint though.

22:16.58chrisaThe backup util always seems to run indefinitely. I'm not convinced it actually does anything
22:17.29ka6soxthats scary
22:17.53chrisaah, and now I see some threads about how it is broken and has no maintainer
22:18.23chrisaWas a sms restore ever figured out?
22:18.39bpadalinonot restore, but save ..
22:19.10bpadalinothe databases in the backend i think were all associated with unique IDs of contacts.. but those IDs were not necessarily the same every time they were entered
22:19.19bpadalinoat least that's what it looked like to me :(

23:05.07rwhitbychrisa: yeah, that backup util is bad news
23:05.36rwhitbyusing it to backup is not dangerous (in most cases it just hangs anyway).  using it to restore can screw your palm profile.
23:06.05rwhitbysave/restore has SMS backup to HTML files, but no restore.  Perhaps for 2.0 ...

23:09.34chrisaI can partly understand why a system would be designed so that backup/restore on messages is difficult due to various contact sources
23:09.53chrisaBut it's still frustrating that not even a one off solution was put in place
23:10.07chrisaYou always have phone numbers to fall back on
23:10.31rwhitbychrisa: basically, I couldn't find a safe API to insert them back into the mix
23:10.45rwhitbyand it was too intertwined to hack
23:11.01chrisaright, the messaging db is horribly overcomplicated
23:12.35bpadalinoindeed
23:12.48rwhitbylooks better on 2.0 from what I've seen of the schema files in the doctor

23:35.20ben_can someone help point me in the right direction... I want like a trash folder or recycle bin for text messages / sms so I don't swipe and delete something that I didn't mean to... its too easy to just swipe and hit delete.... any ideas of how to make it save a copy of the message/conversation somewhere else when i hit delete, or maybe a backup that doesn't require sync and will backup sms messages right after they are receive
23:35.59ben_even something to send them to like an extra email account for backup purposes or archiving...  anything close to any of this??
23:36.59SineOthave you... accidentally swiped and deleted a lot of stuff?
23:37.08SineOtit should pop up the "Delete/Cancel" thing o_o
23:39.04ben_not w sms on the pixi
23:39.29SineOtdoes on mine!
23:39.45SineOtlet me check what patches I have installed

23:40.50SineOtoh, the buttons behind the thing are what I'm talking about
23:52.01ben_hmm
23:52.18ben_mine it just swipe, then delete or cancel...
23:52.32ben_even if it said confirm.... the problem is if i delete the wrong message
23:52.36ben_i'll still hit confirm
23:52.59ben_and its like impossible to recover, even w the db file and sqlite...
23:55.52SineOtwell... hrm
23:56.06SineOtit'd be easier to just be more careful than to code in some kind of message copy thing :s

23:59.39ben_ya but like a month ago when i was trying to figure out how to recover something I thought I came across somethin on the webos internals wiki that was used to like backup all the texts to a memory card or sim card or something like that... i don't remember where it was, just thought it might be a starting point
