Task Description
When the lid is closed the only remaining buttons on the Pandora are the L + R shoulder buttons and the power slider.
Applications operating in this mode should utilize that few available buttons!
Example for button utilization in a audio playback software:
L + R at once: Toggle Play/Pause
L hold: fast backward
R hold: fast forward
L click: jump to previous song
R click: jump to next song
L double click: jump to previous album/artist
R double click: jump to next album/artist |

246 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Bug Report | Medium | Clipboard content of closed app gets tossed instead of ... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
FLAWED BEHAVIOUR:
Copy and paste only works between 2 active applications. This is very limiting!
If you are in the single task oriented MiniMenu you have no chance at all to share the clipboard between apps!
If you are in the multi tasking oriented XFCE desktop environment you can only share between apps running in parallel! Not with apps which started after the source app has been terminated.
DESIRED BEHAVIOUR:
The clipboard content (within reasonable limits of course) should remain, regardless of the source application, so that you can paste at any later moment into any application. |

244 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Low | Include man and the manpages | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
The command line environment of the default OS does not include the command "man" and the respective manpages of the installed programs.
I personally often use manpages, as I hardly remember the syntax/arguments of all programs I use.
Having them would be very convenient!
EVALUATING NEEDED STORAGE AMOUNT
Some may argue that storage space is quite limited on the NAND.
Yes I agree. Hence the number of included programs is limited too. Hence it would not be all too many manpages.
When I press TAB into an empty Terminal prompt, I get 1406 possibilities, which is about the amount of available commands/programs if we ignore aliases, etc.
Multiply that with an average of 20 kb per manpage, and you get about 30 MB in total. With compression this could possibly be brought down to 15-20 MB.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
A) Store into the NAND the manpages of core OS CLI programs only, and not all the library/system/etc documentation.
B) Include only the man command into the core OS, and compile/configure it in such a fashion, that it finds the manpages within non-NAND media (SD card, USB volume, etc).
b1) Specify that it simply looks into a certain path within the /media/*/pandora/ structure.
b2) Or offer PND packages like man-core.pnd, man-extended.pnd,... you get the idea or even man-custom.pnd (which would look into its appdata or a certain path for custom added manpages, to somehow get the b1 approach within the PND approach). |

243 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Medium | MiniMenu: Pressing successive character keys should com... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
Imagine this tab content:
Nubs, Pandora Input, PNDstore.
CURRENT BEHAVIOR:
Pressing "P" and "N" is succession jumps to "Nubs" eventually, as it first jumps to the first "P" item ("Pandora Input"), then to the first "N" item, "Nubs".
DESIRED BEHAVIOR:
That it acts like in most Linux file browsers or the Mac OS X Finder.
In detail: Pressing "P" and "N" within a certain time limit should combine them to the string "PN" and jump to the first item which starts with that string, i.e. "PNDStore". If no item matches, reduce the combination string by one character, try to match again, if that doesn't match, try matching again with one character less, ... , until only one character is left, and if that one doesn't match jump to the nearest previous lexicographical character, which matches. |

242 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Medium | Pressing SHIFT + any key in sequence creates the modifi... | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
ISSUE ENVIRONMENT:
If you hold your Pandora in your hands, you only have your thumbs for typing, hence your typing abilities are quite limited.
It is hard to press more than 2 keys, and hard to press 2 keys on the same side, as your second thumb does not reach the opposite side all too easy (except you have a basketball player's hands).
The modifier keys Start/ALT Select/CTRL Pandora/(META, I guess?) are in the middle of the keyboard, hence the can easily pressed together with another key. But SHIFT lies at an ergonomically problematic side (left boundary). Hence hard to press with other left side keys.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION:
I suggest that Pandora OS offers an optional and configurable input help.
[1|2|3 presses | hold for duration x] SHIFT [timeout y] [modifier key 2] [timeout z] key
Produces the same result like SHIFT + modkey2 + key
Very likely modifier key 2 and timeout z are not necessary, as you can trigger the SHIFT hold (by your defined action), and then press the modifier key 2 and the other key at once, as the other modifier keys are laid at a central (ergonomically better) position. |

I am suggesting the new option "Grid stop horizontal" for MiniMenu with the following possible settings and their effect.
Yes -> If the boundary is reached the focus remains there.
No -> If the boundary is reached the focus starts at the opposite side again.
Jump to next/prev line -> If the boundary is reached the focus jumps to the next/previous line and the opposite side. |

238 | OpenPandora Main OS | Application | Feature Request | Low | Quick key access to OK in dialogues | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: In many GUI dialogues the default action button (OK, ACCEPT, YES, …) cannot be triggered with a simple key press. Pressing ENTER triggers the element which has focus (usually the first dialogue element), but not the default action, as most computer users would expect!
MY WORKAROUND MEANWHILE: Press ALT plus the underlined letter of your desired action. But that's not very convenient as the underlined letter needs to be looked upon first, as the button label can differ from situation to situation (ACCEPT, OK, YES, …) and then 2 keys need to be pressed.
SUGGESTED SOLUTION: The custom of many operating systems should be adapted on the OpenPandora as well. SPACE triggers the currently focused element (whatever that may be: list item, radio button, checkbox, etc), and ENTER triggers the default action of that dialogue.
Or even better use the Pandora specific A/B/Y/X keys cleverly in those dialogues/selections. I don't know whether there is a standard functionality assignment within this key-group, in MiniMenu "B" is start/confirm, I do not know of any other standard assignments yet. |

drivers/rtc/rtc-twl4030.c
twl4030_rtc_remove (for when the driver is removed) and twl4030_rtc_

oh YUK who's been using goto....
changes in drivers/rtc/rtc-twl4030.c
twl4030_rtc_remove
commented out //mask_rtc_irq_bit(BIT_RTC_INTERRUPTS_REG_IT_ALARM_M);
twl4030_rtc_shutdown

twl4030_rtc_init
added (before return!)
twl4030_rtc_alarm_irq_set_state(true);
Should probably check reg 0x2B with mask 0x08 to see if alarm should be left enabled or not ?
but only in twl4030_rtc_shutdown and ?remove? NOT in twl4030_rtc_init
should remove ever happen ???
I'm guessing it's best to not enable the alarm irq's all the time??? |

225 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | ads7846 reports odd pressure values | Unconfirmed | |
Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
using evdev xorg drivers and not the tslib drivers you can receive pressure axis data however there is
a problem with the values reported by the ads7846 module and the evdev driver has no calibration property for pressure
using
xinput test touchscreen
you can see the pressure axis ranging from 120-ish for hard press to about 150-170 for light press (low pressure values can
be quite erratic)
I could possibly hack the evdev module to possibly do something with this odd and narrow range of values, but I rather think looking
at the source that the ads7846 module needs some work.

Problem - Login Screen does not accept all symbols of the form Fn+char
Reproducibility - always
Actual results - the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work on the Login Screen with the Pandora's keyboard. When fn then the corresponding character is pressed, nothing is added to the string.
Expected results - these characters should appear just like any other character
Work Around - an external keyboard was able to enter these characters
Aditional Information - While the characters :?#|$€"‘£¥@!_ do not work, the characters ;/\'-+=`() work just fine. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
When booting the pandora-OS from sd-card by using the official tar, you will end up with your sd-card being mounted twice: once as / and once as /media/. I solved this by adding "/dev/mmcblk0" to "/etc/udev/mount.blacklist". Maybe this should be added to the default tarball? I'm not sure as it might be used in other ways maybe (beside SD-card-installation)?
Background: I ran "updatedb" as root and have been notified by a message that there was a mount-loop. After adding the above modification the system still booted fine and "updatedb" ran nicely without a warning. |

Release 1 (Zaxxon) |
Task Description
With both Hotfix 3 and Hotfix 4 Beta the Run PND Application menu item fails to do anything.
Possibly related problem is that PND files newly copied to SD card are not recognized and entered on desktop as expected.
When you go to Thunar and right click - execute the PND file, nothing happens.
Possible fix by copying the PND to another folder on the SD card with Thunar.
This makes at least two PND files I had work.

155 | OpenPandora Main OS | Core | Bug Report | Medium | Critical problems after rescaling GLES2 X windows | Unconfirmed | |
All |
Task Description
When a X window which is displaying GLES2 render output is:
- Either dragged out of the visibile screen region (?)
- Is made larger than it was at the creation time of the GLES2 context
then:
- The performance will drop significantly as the EGL buffer swaps won't occur as fast as before,
- The render output will be corrupted and flicker
- In rare occasions crashes the application or locks up the entire system (which forces you to remove the battery)
The problem can not be solved without restarting the application (Possibly forcing players to complete the same goals again as they were unable to reach a savepoint or similar things).
This was confirmed in Mupen64Plus and the PowerVR GLES Samples and some of my own projects (which are, however, based on the PowerVR samples).
As I didn't see any other reports about this problems (but had it confirmed by other Pandora users too) I would expect that it can be fixed by using a newer X, kernel or combination of them as other OMAP users would be effected too. |
