addressbook : MacOsX - QtExtended

On the Mac export VCF:
1. Set the vCard Format to 2.1 in the config dialog
2. Select all contacts and say "export vcard"
3. Despite having selected the charset to be utf-8 you may need to do:

$ iconv -f latin1 -t utf-8 vCards.vcf | sed s/CHARSET=LATIN1://g > all.vcf 
$ scp all.vcf root@192.168.0.202:/home/root

on ssh console

how to delete a favorite

CREATE TABLE favoriteservices (
  id INTEGER primary key autoincrement,     
  sortIndex INTEGER,     
  speedDial INTEGER,     
  label VARCHAR(100),     
  icon VARCHAR(100),     
  service VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL,     
  message VARCHAR(255),     
  arguments BLOB,     
  optionalMap BLOB 
);
select * from favoriteservices;
delete from favoriteservices where id=x;

QT Extended Build

$ export QPEDIR=//home/ahammer/Desktop/Neo-Freerunner/build/qt-extended-4.4.2
$ cd build
$ $QPEDIR/configure -device neo -build-qt
$ bin/qbuild
$ bin/qbuild image

QI Bootloader

check NOR (recovery) and NAND (default) versions

root@om-gta02:~# grep  Bootloader /dev/mtdblock0
Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot 1.3.2-moko12root
root@om-gta02:~# grep Bootloader /dev/mtdblock1
Neo1973 Bootloader U-Boot 1.3.2-rc2-dirty-moko12

after the switch to QI, the boottime is 2min 22sec - including the SIM-PIN - to a working phone

GPS basics

# echo "1" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron
# cat /dev/ttySAC1
# stty -F /dev/ttySAC1 -echo && cat -u /dev/ttySAC1 | grep -v ^$ 
# echo "0" > /sys/bus/platform/devices/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron

First, install the codecs.qpk package. Till now I only managed to install it using http. Then in the application section - you find a codecs-installer. Hit it and install the libmad Plugin.
Make a copy on the SD-Card and restore it on updates - voila.

/opt/qtmoko/plugins/codecs/libwavplay.so
/opt/qtmoko/plugins/codecs/libwavrecord.so
/opt/qtmoko/plugins/codecs/libtremorplugin.so
/opt/qtmoko/plugins/codecs/libamrrecordplugin.so
/opt/qtmoko/plugins/codecs/libtimidityplugin.so
/opt/qtmoko/plugins/codecs/libmadplugin.so

performance optimizations

- disable X11 forwarding in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
- disable virtual terminals 2..5 in /etc/inittab
- disable all logging except /var/log/messsages & debug in /etc/syslog.conf
- enable lazy writing to logs using - in /etc/syslog.conf
- add nodiratime,noatime to mounted filesystems in /etc/fstab

Boot time using QTMoko v14 - 2min42sec between the poweron (vibration) till the phone is ready including entering pin and gsm search.
Update - QTMoko v24 - 1min43sec
