ISI specifications for Nokia modems.
A serious limitation of the N900 connectivity subsystem IMHO is the inability to create multiple connections. One can only have one connection at a time.
MMS support development to be suspended until the end of February.
The gitorious repository now contains a broken mms-manager, a non functional mms-ui (because I changed the DBus interface ;-)), a preliminary mms viewer and a broken network connection manager. How pretty is that ? ;-)
I've been redesigning the DBus interfaces and I think I reached something. The UI can be easily adapted after that.
However, I'll be on vacation until the end of February. I can't work on mms until I'm back.
I'll try to commit and push the code I have on my laptop but the stuff will still be broken.
This is just a quick status.
Good wishes for the newly married couple ;-)
mms-support progress
Hi again!
I'm still working on the MMS support for fremantle.
mkmms available.
As promised yesterday, I'll start cleaning up my code a bit preparing to post it here.
Not First MMS sent via N900 (Fremantle)
I've spent the past few days trying to get MMS to work on the N900.
Corporates are evil.
After the N900 has been announced. I was saying this to a friend of mine:
[Me] so
[Me] remember our discussion about a Linux powered phone ? ;)
[Me] sorry I convinced you that Linux on phones is a no while I knew we were doing it :)
him-arabic has been uploaded to maemo extras
Yup, thanks to Matan Ziv-Av who did a few improvements and fixes and uploaded him-arabic to maemo extras.
The good part is the addition of the Hebrew keymap (And a few other things).
Dear Hebrew maemo users...
I'm getting a lot of questions on how to enable Hebrew under maemo. I know that the fonts have been packaged already and I guess there's also an input method. It's as easy as writing an XML file for my not so broken Hildon Arabic input method.
I just don't understand why can't they be made available publicly or made known ?
I can neither host nor support them, nothing personal. It's just that I don't know Hebrew and I can't support a language I don't know!
Please, oh pretty please with sugar on top, can someone give me a URL or at least share the information so I can at least copy and paste it as a reply to the emails I'm getting ?
More packages for Chinook.
I was trying to package hunspell-ar for Chinook so I ended up packaging:
* hunspell (libhunspell and its development headers)
* enchant (hunspell and ispell providers but I'll disable ispell soon)
* hunspell-ar
* dictionaries-common and dictionaries-common-dev (hunspell-ar depends on them)
As for dictionaries-common and dictionaries-common-dev, they are different than the Debian ones. Yes I'm using the same source but I'm only providing the bits related to myspell. I didn't include the policy too.
uri = ftp://foolab.org/pub/apt
dist = chinook
components = spellhim-arabic is also available as well as a few Arabic fonts:
uri = ftp://foolab.org/pub/apt
dist = chinook
components = arabichildon input method and new languages...
I noticed this because of my work on him-arabic.
If your plugin provides a language other than the 16 "known" languages, It will be displayed as " ()".
Ideally, The fix should be somewhere else but not all of the components are open so even if I can fix it, I won't be able to publish patches or packages.
It seems that the source provided with the SDK is a bit outdated so I had to grab the latest trunk: https://stage.maemo.org/svn/maemo/projects/haf/trunk/hildon-input-method/
And here's a patch. It'll return the language code if it fails to get the language description. (I know it's a bit hackish :|):

I hope it will be fixed otherwise I'll be providing packages soon. I know I promised to provide a lot of things (-:
Have a nice weekend.
