47 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | Medium | evmapperd: Blinking LED and charging control | Closed | |
Task Description
evmapperd should start blinking when the power is getting low.
Ideally, the blinking speed should increase with decreasing battery power and should start maybe at 5% as default (would be nice to have the settings configurable by the user).
As soon as the AC adaptor is connected, blinking should stop.
When the battery power is at 0% it should immediately shutdown and poweroff (NOT to be overridden by the user!)
Aditionally, we should have some charging control (or would it be better using a different daemon for that?)
Here's part of my conversation with MichaelW:
when the charge current was below a threshold, it would reduce the charger input current allowed and take it down to about what the system needs
it would be an active thing constantly sampling the system and constantly updating the input current to match the system
the alternative is that when the battery is full, the charge path is cut off until the battery drops down a bit, maybe 90% |

59 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | Low | ToDo: Add joystick / keyboard switch to pnd_run and lib ... | Closed | |
Task Description
The next kernel offers switching between a joystick / keyboard mode.
In joystick mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons behave like a joystick buttons and have no keyboard mappings.
In keyboard mode, the DPAD and ABXYRL Buttons have keyboard mappings and are NOT registered as joystick.
The normal keyboard keys are not affected by this.
PXML needs to have a switch added for that and pnd_run should change the mode according to that switch.
When the PND app has quit, it should always go back to keyboard mode.
The commands are the following:
echo 1 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # keyboard mode
echo 2 > /proc/pandora/game_button_mode # gamepad mode |

70 | Core | To Do (Reminder) | Low | Make switching GUIs more customizable (hardcoded at the ... | Closed | |
Task Description
At the moment, /usr/pandora/scripts/op_switchgui,sh ,/usr/pandora/scripts/op_defaultgui.sh and /usr/pandora/scripts/first-run-wizard.sh are hardcoded with the GUIs we have.
I'd like to have that configurable for the future.
My current plan is having a config file with all the GUIs in (e.g. /etc/pandora/gui.conf)
In there, there should be ALL GUIs:
"XFCE4";"startxfce4";"xfce4-session-logout --logout"
"Netbook Launcher";"startnetbooklauncher";"killall netbook-launcher-efl"
"PMenu";"pmenu";""
So with an info:
a) What's the name of the GUI
b) How to start it
c) How to stop it (if it doesn't do that itself)
Therefore, various GUIs could be implemented and switched with the Switch GUI script by simply adding it to the config file.
Ideally, all GUIs should either have a shutdown script (so I don't have to kill it to quit it) or react properly on a simple terminate
command :)
Or they could do it themselves, read out the config file, show up the different GUIs we have, change the /tmp/gui.load file and quit.
Any more ideas?
Any help? Coding that script shouldn't be too hard, the only thing I don't know at the moment is how to parse various config lines (as above) into a shell script :)
vimacs, any idea there? |

Built-in keyboard input is a central thing on the Pandora, as it concerns almost all user interfaced apps!
I realized that I myself and also others submitted quite many reports concerning this issue.
Hence this meta issue is intended as an overview/accumulation/aid for those devs who are willing to overwork the whole issue.
If you realize new related issues, feel free to add them here.
If this my effort is contradicting the OpenPandora workflow, then pardon me, and instruct me, how else to handle issues of that kind. Thanks!

mikmod
libxxf86dga1
epdfview
gnumeric (if possible, would be nice)
I do wonder though if we should remove all gnome-games (and ScummVM) completely.
Makes more sense if we wrap those games up as PND files.
Same goes for the community wallpapers. Should we include them? Or save that space for other things? |

73 | Base OS | Feature Request | Medium | Nub: Change mouse speed, fix scrolling and add mouse bu ... | Closed | |
Task Description
Currently the nubs can be set to three different modes:
mouse, scroll and absolute
Mode 1 (mouse) works fine, but the speed is a bit slow.
Mode 2 (scroll) has inverted scrolling and it would be nice if scrolling speed would change according to how far you move it
Aditionally, I would suggest adding another mode: mbuttons (Mouse buttons).
At the moment, you can use the nubs as mouse but don't have any mouse buttons.
I think it would be very convenient if you could set the nubs as mouse buttons:
Move the nub left for left click, right for right click, up for double click and down for middle click.
That way, each user could use the left nub for mouse and the right nub for mouse buttons or vice versa. |

85 | Core | Feature Request | Low | open lid while in low power mode | Closed | |
Task Description
I'm replying in-forum:
An interesting point -- opening the lid turning the screen on, but you're still in lower power mode. The question then becomes --
Since you enabled low power mode (using the power switch), thats the logical way to un-low power mode.
Two outcomes come to mind ..
When opening the lid, one of:
i) wake up from low power mode, or
ii) Don't turn the screen on when in low power mode
(or a variation of (ii) -- flash a warning "hey, I'm in lower power, bugger off, and hit the power switch")
I can code something in; probably occured due to in my prototype, I broke the power switch, so I didn't use low power mode near the end ;) |

86 | Base OS | Feature Request | Very Low | Including small development frameworks/projects in the ... | Closed | |
Task Description
It could be nice, if some very small development frameworks were included in the OS since the Pandora should make it as easy as possible for beginners to start programming.
That means: A "Start coding now"-wizard/script can be run from the desktop from which you select the type of project (c++, python, SDL...) you want to do. It copies the framework to SD-Card, opens it in an editor/IDE to see the sourcecode and leads you to the first compile and run. Can be combined with a PND-Packer-script.
Ideas for frameworks:
- a small python template (pygame?)
- a template project for an SDL-project (red square in fullscreen)
- a template project for OpenGL ES (a simple colored triangle)
- a template project for using NEON or DSP
- something with a GUI (QT?)
- general HelloWorlds
- all as simple as possible!
I know that this could help many beginners to actually start programming because the first compile is often hardest step (setting up toolchain, hassle with libs, includes, dependencies, compiler options, choice of editor, makefiles, all that stuff).
Feel free to delete this feature request if it doesn't fit into the bugtracker. |

90 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Adding more "general libs" to the OS image | Closed | |
Task Description
It would be nice if some more generic libs that could be used by software ported to the Pandora would be available in the base image. For example for Wesnoth we do require these additional libs (names taken from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=boost ):
* boost-iostreams
* boost-regex
* boost-serialization
Beside this Wesnoth does also require this package (from http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/repo/?pkgname=lua5.1 ):
* lua5.1
In general I would recommend pulling in all of boost. This means the dependencies as well as the recommends. Here is a short paste of what this means:
Depends:
libc6, libstdc++6, libgcc1, boost-filesystem, boost-thread, boost-date-time, boost-system
Recommends:
boost-date-time, boost-filesystem, boost-graph, boost-iostreams, boost-program-options, boost-python, boost-regex, boost-serialization, boost-signals, boost-system, boost-test, boost-thread
There are probably some other packages/lib that might make sense to directly have in the OS image, but they currently don't come to my mind, so I can't list them here. ;) |

137 | Base OS | Feature Request | Low | Default vim config | Closed | |
Task Description
The current vim install does come without any config file. By default this means vim does work in "vi compatible mode" which makes it hardly usable. The attached config file is meant to be used as ~/.vimrc, so it should be added to "/etc/skel/.vimrc". The file is partly based on the default config used by gentoo.
Things this config file sets:
* Start in "vim mode" by default
* activate ruler
* set width of linenumber in ruler
* assume that the terminal uses a dark background
* configure what hitting backspace removed (newlines, ...)
* some magic to have different encoding formats working in a more sane way |

Task Description
The clock occasionally does weird things during low power mode, sometimes gaining time, sometimes losing. This is most likely a result of the CPU being reduced to 14Mhz and the system clock being unable to keep up.
A convenient work around is to make a call to "/sbin/hwclock --hctosys" during wake-up to load the hardware clock back into the system clock. This may add an extra second or two to the wake-up time but will prevent confusion caused by clock being very incorrect. |

195 | Core | Feature Request | High | Start re-recharge of battery sooner | Closed | |
Task Description
Increase battery LVL_4 and LVL_3 threshold.
After reaching 100%, in some cases the charge circuit enters "battery full" state, stops charging, and begins to discharge. This is not entirely unexpected behavior according to the spec sheet, although I don't fully understand exactly the situations in which it completes charging. Once the battery is full, the battery will begin discharging. The charge circuit automatically restarts the recharge once the voltage has gone below a certain level (crosses below the LVL_3 voltage threshold)
The default LVL_3 voltage threshold is 3.902 volts which is at about 80-85% battery level as recorded by bq27500 chip. In my opinion, this is way too low.
Setting the BCIMFTH2 register to 0xCB increases the voltage threshold to about 4.003 volts which is about 93%.
Setting it to 0xDC may also be worthwhile, which is just over 95%.
By default, if a user leaves their Pandora plugged in overnight, they may wake up to find their Pandora has stopped charging and the capacity has dropped to almost 80%, which can be quite startling to some users who will then report it as a bug.
This change will ensure that it never drops below 93-95%, a much more acceptable level.
Specific code changes suggested, in the /drivers/power/twl4030_bci_battery.c file, somewhere in the twl4030_bci_battery_probe function (or a function called by it), add the lines:
/********************************/
#define KEY_FTH2 0x7F
#define REG_BCIMFTH2 0x017
ret = twl4030_i2c_write_u8(TWL4030_MODULE_MAIN_CHARGE, KEY_FTH2, REG_BCIMFKEY);

Task Description
I wish for curl to be installed by default on the upcoming pandora FWs,
As reported by the angstrom repo, where I install using the command:
$sudo su

#opkg update
#opkg install curl
curl 7.21.2-r4.0.9 is 78.57 Kilobytes with the dependencies
Depends:libcurl4, libgnutls26, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, libz1
I do not know which is installed by default, but I'm sure libc6 is, so I'm going to state the info on the rest of the packages for its memory space usage on the NAND
libcurl4(142.99 Kilobytes):
Command line tool and library for client-side URL transfers.
Depends:libc6, libgnutls26, libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, as you can see, it has the same dependencies as above, so it seems both curl and libcurl are probably exclusive from the others, but I will go forward and state the rest of the dependencies
libgnutls26 2.8.6-r10.0.5 (291.44 Kilobytes)
Depends:libz1, libgcrypt11, libgpg-error0, libc6, (again, it looks like the above depends on this)
libgcrypt11 1.4.1-r0.9 (220.35 Kilobytes)
Depends: libgpg-error0, libc6, (Oh look, we're not looking at libz1 anymore)
libgpg-error0 1.4-r7.1.9 (5.78 Kilobytes)
Depends:libc6
now to the lone libz1
libz1 1.2.3-r7.0.9 (41.95 Kilobytes)
Depends:libc6
So, in the case we already have the gpg stuff, then the installation is only 221.56KB, however, with the zlib and the gpg included, the total comes to 781.08KB
So, now that the cost is out of the way, What are the goods and bads?
Good:
Its a very versatile CLI program to get and send information over http through the network, and is tolerant of network issues
It doesn't take too much space relative to things that have been pulled out, like abiword.
The libcurl is a very good library, and could be of great benefit to some future projects.
Bad:
Well, we already have wget, which is not as configurable, and wget hates Craig's appstore
