02:11.48 | Leeds | unix_infidel: staying in HK isn't too hard as a white UK-passport-holder - UK passports get 6 months whenever you go through passport control, and the nature of HK is such that in over 3.5 years here I've never had a 6 month period without leaving and returning at least once |

02:13.24 | Leeds | what the visa will give me is a guarantee that they won't refuse to let me back in, and the right to work - without the visa being tied to a particular job, which makes me much more flexible in the work I can do |

02:25.29 | JesusFreke | what's the cost of living like? |
02:27.59 | Leeds | relatively low... property (renting or buying) isn't so cheap, although prices have fallen something like 20% this year, booze is a bit expensive, and I'm told that running a car is expensive - but very few people need to, because the public transport is excellent |
02:28.25 | JesusFreke | gotcha |
02:30.09 | Leeds | I pay about US$1450 a month for a 2-bedroom flat, but it's only 25 minutes walk from the city centre - there are cheaper places... I can get the tram to a lot of places I go regularly, for about US$0.25 |

02:52.14 | Leeds | oh! |
02:52.22 | jbq | yay, finally announced :) |
02:52.36 | ttuttle | suspects the "Android Dev Phone 1" is a G1 just like his own. |
02:52.37 | morrildl | jbq: indeed |
02:52.39 | Leeds | jbq: since I guess you know... is it an HTC Dream? |
02:52.42 | morrildl | ttuttle: is right |

02:53.46 | ttuttle | morrildl: Ah. |
02:53.52 | morrildl | derived from the HTC Dream :) |
02:53.52 | Leeds | don't really care about that too much... do care that it's a) unlocked and b) cheaper than my G1 was |
02:53.54 | ttuttle | morrildl: But it's not a Dream either? |
02:54.00 | ttuttle | morrildl: The Dream is a top-secret codename! |
02:54.11 | morrildl | ttuttle: not any more than HTC Apache or HTC Titan, etc. |
02:54.13 | Leeds | morrildl: does it have the non-open stuff on it? |
02:54.19 | ttuttle | has been yelled at for calling his Dream a Dream. |
02:54.25 | Leeds | e.g. market, windows codecs, youtube? |
02:54.47 | morrildl | Leeds: the system image it ships with includes Market and the Google apps like Maps, etc. |
02:54.53 | ttuttle | morrildl: Nice! |

02:55.35 | JesusFreke | probably won't though |

03:02.40 | khert | eugene, whats the url for the android market? |
03:02.43 | morrildl | Why is no one talking about hte SDK?! |
03:02.55 | sparkle | this is more fun. |
03:03.02 | morrildl | ;) |
03:03.11 | ttuttle | morrildl: What's been updates? |
03:03.12 | ttuttle | *updated |
03:03.15 | bgupta | morrildl: Isn't the new SDK a regression? |
03:03.15 | JesusFreke | SDK? pfft. we have a new dev phone to drool over :D |
03:03.25 | morrildl | ttuttle: couple future-proof bugfixes |
03:03.29 | bgupta | IE: THey removed functionality? |
03:03.40 | ttuttle | morrildl: Ah. |
03:03.41 | morrildl | bgupta: well, we made it compliant with the Java language spec |
03:03.59 | *** join/#android winfield (n=winfield@122.234.83.183) |
03:04.02 | morrildl | but technically yes we removed the ability to access private/protected methods via Reflection, which was a bug |
03:04.09 | RyeBrye | "Unlike the bootloader on retail devices, the bootloader on the Android Dev Phone 1 does not enforce signed system images" Bah. give us a week or two and we'll fix that |

03:04.37 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: But lemme know when it's done. |
03:04.38 | bgupta | hehe... well once one dev phone hits the street, I suspect all modded G1s will become devphones. |
03:05.03 | morrildl | bgupta: unlikely, without hooking up directly to the flash part |
03:05.13 | bgupta | oh... |
03:05.22 | ttuttle | should start a service flashing unlocked bootloaders on G1s for devs. |
03:05.30 | sparkle | chuckles |
03:05.34 | ttuttle | (I would, but I'm considering working for Google in the future.) |
03:05.49 | Leeds | also, incidentally, this is the first time I've used google checkout |
03:05.51 | morrildl | ttuttle: San will hunt you down and beat you if he thought you actually had what you would need to do that :) |
03:05.52 | eugene | khert: http://market.android.com/publish |
03:06.02 | ttuttle | morrildl: Um, I have an unlocked phone. |
03:06.11 | ttuttle | morrildl: I'd need to obtain some sort of JTAG or whatever-the-phone-uses interface. |
03:06.18 | RyeBrye | in 5 minutes flat I could get enough information from his phone to get what I needed to do that |
03:06.20 | ttuttle | morrildl: Once I had that, I could slurp my image and write it on others. |
03:06.21 | morrildl | yup |
03:06.27 | ttuttle | morrildl: But that's an NDA violation. |
03:06.27 | RyeBrye | I'm almost postive it wont require jtag |
03:06.30 | khert | eugene, cool, thnx |
03:06.31 | ttuttle | morrildl: And a jerk move. |
03:06.35 | ttuttle | morrildl: And slimy. |
03:06.41 | morrildl | I can't remember if JTag is enabled on the production devices |
03:06.42 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: How would you do it, without running code as root? |
03:06.48 | morrildl | but hypothetically that would work yeah |
03:06.48 | ttuttle | morrildl: Ooh, tricky ;) |

03:07.21 | morrildl | RyeBrye probably CAN run code as root, on a modified RC30 |
03:07.35 | bgupta | It's probably under that little sticker that says "VOID: |
03:07.37 | ttuttle | would flash his phone back to unmodded RC30, just to make it harder :P |
03:08.11 | RyeBrye | well... I'm not so sure that would really matter in your case - since I could just fastboot it and replace it with whatever I wanted |
03:08.15 | bgupta | Anyone taken a G1 apart yet? |
03:08.58 | RyeBrye | That's good news about the dev phones though - definitely a step in the right direction |
03:09.35 | unix_infidel | I bet that announcement pisses off a lot of developers...and makes a lot more happy. |
03:09.39 | bgupta | RyeBrye: Dev phones gives me hope. |
03:10.15 | Leeds | does that mean people will stop moaning that the G1 is locked down even though Android is meant to be open? |
03:10.18 | RyeBrye | Yeah, the dev phone will be cool. there are a few T-mobile G1's out there that have engineering bootloaders on them by accident |
03:10.19 | bgupta | morrildl: Many of us feel that we shouldn't have to go through contortions to instlall custom firmware... |
03:10.51 | bgupta | BUt we understand why carrier partners might get sniffy about it. |
03:11.04 | RyeBrye | The one guy who I know who has one has probably been snipered or something - because he's nowhere to be found now that we have a method to dump / reflash the bootloader easily |
03:11.32 | morrildl | bgupta: it doesn't really have much to do with carrier partners. It's just a security thing. We don't want evil people phishing users into putting a firmware image onto /sdcard and reflashing. |
03:11.33 | bgupta | I suspect dev phones are gonna be surprisingly popular in the dev community.... |
03:11.58 | morrildl | Granted that that's kind of an unlikely sequence of events.... |
03:13.02 | bgupta | morrildl... You could have a lock that you have to go through slight gyrations to get through.. IE: unlock the feature deep in settings.. |
03:13.23 | RyeBrye | I think that kind of thing would happen on the hacked iPhones first |
03:14.25 | RyeBrye | They need to have a dev phone subscription program :) for $X per year you get a new dev phone every time one comes out |
03:14.27 | bgupta | I just feel real bad for my Linux buddies who upgraded to rc30 without knowing the full deal. |

03:14.41 | Leeds | shipping cost to singapore for a devphone: $119.36 |
03:14.46 | bgupta | yikes |
03:14.49 | Leeds | that's quite a lot |
03:14.57 | Leeds | in fact, that's fscking ridiculous |
03:14.58 | Acidulous | is one of those who went to RC30 unknowingly |
03:15.20 | bgupta | sorry acidulous. :( |
03:15.33 | bgupta | I almost did.. but I came back from the brink just in time |
03:15.48 | RyeBrye | I'm sure eventually we'll have a way to re-root RC30's to another version... it's being looked into |
03:16.06 | Acidulous | I was stuck on RC19 so long, I was overexcited when I finally got an update, and it shot straight to RC30 before I had heard about it |
03:16.19 | morrildl | RyeBrye: if you find one, please just tell us first so we can fix it for end users before it gets into the wild :) |
03:16.34 | Leeds | making the cost for a devphone, shipped to Singapore: $399+$119+$25... not much different from the $560 or so I paid for mine |
03:16.39 | bgupta | yeah, well, it would seem likely there is an official way to do it... that is very obscured.. |

03:26.07 | RyeBrye | and they only let you order 1 per account now to limit that aftermarket bit |
03:26.19 | RyeBrye | so it's really $399 + 25 + shipping |

03:43.27 | Fnordg1 | official rootphones? |

03:43.40 | bgupta | official rootphones... yeah.. |

03:44.24 | Fnordg1 | official rootphones? <-- omg wut? :-O!? |
03:44.24 | unix_infidel | Leeds: what's funny is you could've gotten an iPhone 3G for less than your G1 in HK but you went with the G1. |

03:44.53 | Leeds | unix_infidel: no I couldn't - the Apple price for a iphone 3G is about $5600 |
03:44.55 | RyeBrye | infobot devphones have magical powers and will make all your wildest dreams come true. You can read about them here: http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html - in order to buy one, you have to pay a $25 to be in the "developer club" and then you can get into the back room where they keep them behind a curain of lava |
03:45.14 | unix_infidel | Leeds: 560? |
03:45.16 | Leeds | RyeBrye: "is" not "have" |
03:45.21 | Leeds | unix_infidel: HK$5600 |
03:45.24 | bgupta | Well the $25 isn't completely wasted if you plan to sell apps in the market |
03:45.33 | Leeds | or possibly "are" |
03:45.37 | unix_infidel | so yea, about the same as what you paid for the G1. |
03:45.49 | RyeBrye | infobot devphones is a phone with magical powers and will make all your wildest dreams come true. You can read about them here: http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html - in order to buy one, you have to pay a $25 to be in the "developer club" and then you can get into the back room where they keep them behind a curtain of lava. |
03:45.49 | infobot | RyeBrye: okay |
03:46.01 | RyeBrye | Yeah, I know - I will pay it eventually |
03:46.03 | Fnordg1 | ok so recovery:sbin/recovery makes no keychecks basically? |
03:46.04 | Leeds | no, I paid about $4400 - before trade-in, which I couldn't have done with an iphone - as opposed to $5600... quite a difference |
03:46.08 | RyeBrye | I just have no apps now to put in the market |
03:46.12 | Leeds | Fnordg1: yes |
03:46.24 | Fnordg1 | is nice! |
03:46.30 | bgupta | Fnordg1: According to a Google dev on earlier, yeah. |
03:46.37 | RyeBrye | infobot tell RyeBrye about devphones |
03:46.40 | unix_infidel | i dunno, i have a little under 2 weeks to figure out if i want to keep the G1 ;-) |
03:46.51 | unix_infidel | honestly, being able to tether the thing is worth more than the iPhone already. |
03:46.58 | bgupta | unix_infidel: How much did you pay for it? |
03:47.42 | unix_infidel | bgupta: it was a gift. |
03:47.42 | unix_infidel | probably retail, but they might've had a gift card they needed to get rid of, dunno. |

03:47.44 | unix_infidel | bgupta: -10 bucks. |
03:47.50 | unix_infidel | no big deal. |
03:48.04 | RyeBrye | and no cash? Hmm... I'd think that paying money to get them to take it away versus keeping it is a pretty easy choice |

03:49.25 | infobot | Leeds: okay |
03:49.25 | RyeBrye | I wonder how much I could turn around and sell a dev phone on eBay for if I offered international shipping |
03:49.45 | Disconnect | $699 in fake money orders |
03:49.50 | RyeBrye | :) |
03:50.04 | RyeBrye | and a lot of mangled-english emails |
03:50.09 | Leeds | RyeBrye: $1000 |
03:50.22 | unix_infidel | RyeBrye: if you were the first, probably a pretty penny, but margins will get smaller every hour that goes by. |
03:50.35 | Fnordg1 | cannot load page. is devvphone htc dream? |
03:50.42 | JesusFreke | fnord, yep |
03:50.46 | bgupta | it's a g1 |
03:50.53 | JesusFreke | it's not t-mobile branded |
03:50.57 | Leeds | it's a Dream |
03:50.59 | JesusFreke | so it's not a G1 |
03:51.04 | Fnordg1 | for 1k o.o lol |
03:51.06 | bgupta | correct... but it's basically the same hardware. |
03:51.12 | JesusFreke | right. |
03:51.14 | Leeds | fnord: HK$1000 |
03:51.21 | bgupta | I'd better even off the saem assembly line |

03:51.42 | Fnordg1 | i will stick to haxorg1 |

04:01.28 | Leeds | long hours, very hierarchical/authoritarian, lots of politics, etc. |
04:01.37 | Leeds | JesusFreke: ditto with my EeePC |
04:01.52 | bgupta | G1's still go for a good amount on Ebay... you might almost be able to do it as an even swap... Pretty sure that until rc30 is cracked, modded G1s will retain value. (Kinda like WRT 54g v2s) |

04:03.51 | RyeBrye | can a laptop even do that? |

04:04.23 | Leeds | some low-powered ones with extended batteries can, in theory |
04:04.39 | bgupta | But yes, there are certain EXPENSIVE sony vaio subnotebooks that claim to do 8 hours |

04:29.41 | RyeBrye | I think someone wrote proper /dev drivers for x10 stuff though so it was even easier to interface with it from linux |

05:22.10 | joeo | yeah, I have no idea where the code is anymore |

05:22.43 | romainguy_ | and there's some stuff I have no idea on how to build without rebuilding the entire tree |
05:22.54 | romainguy_ | bgupta: it's temporary |
05:22.55 | joeo | we're switching from perforce internally to git externally |
05:23.32 | jbq | on top of that we're doing a relayout of the source tree so that it splits better into individual projects. |
05:23.33 | joeo | Shawn and I started gerrit and repo about 3 months ago |
05:23.39 | joeo | so it really hasn't had much time to mature |

05:30.44 | swetland | I mean we had been saying we were going to do that for roughly a year prior, but there was an awful lot of "no way it's some elaborate trick" speculation ^^ |

05:41.55 | swetland | I'm pretty sure production devices don't have the arm9 bl recovery mode stuff (would be a big backdoor) so they'd have to take the device apart and rework it to reflash. The hw I have that's been through that process always has looked a bit beaten up |

05:44.36 | swetland | rye: 528 isn't a big win in many cases (many pain points are io bound, not cpu bound) and does cost you power wise |

06:03.22 | jbq | ==swetland |
06:03.22 | joeo | yeah |
06:03.32 | geist | i dont know the status of it precisely. we sent in some patches to valgrind, dont know if they took it |
06:03.37 | swetland | so we don't take the performance hit of running valgrind inside the arm emu. though that'd be nice to have too |
06:03.43 | geist | it's a big pile of changes, so they're probably chewing on it |
06:04.10 | geist | i think the sticking point is the valgrind authors require that you assign copyright to them |
06:04.17 | geist | and so that causes our lawyers to have to get involved, etc |
06:04.22 | joeo | blah |
06:04.31 | geist | so i think we have put out a public set of patches, but it wont get integrated until we can sign off on it, etc |

06:05.30 | swetland | any particular version/build/etc |
06:05.40 | geist | we've been using 2007q3, it seems to be stable |
06:05.48 | geist | some of the newer 2008s had some neon issues |
06:05.54 | geist | though cs claims they're fixed now |
06:06.15 | geist | but i dont expect any real good neon support out of the compiler. that's asm territory |
06:06.17 | swetland | we're getting our ARMv7 stuff sorted out |
06:06.25 | geist | armv7 == w1n |
06:06.28 | swetland | yah |
06:06.37 | geist | thumb2 > * |
06:06.38 | swetland | I want to see mathias update codeflinger for it |
06:06.54 | geist | that's the current gotcha with our valgrind too, arm only at the moment |
06:06.59 | swetland | does thumb2 support ldex and such? |
06:07.00 | geist | haven't hacked in the thumb bits |
06:07.06 | geist | thumb2 supports everything |
06:07.15 | geist | all the cp15 stuff |
06:07.24 | swetland | now if only arm would get their heads out of their butts and release instruction set docs publicly |
06:07.27 | geist | all the new bits |
06:07.41 | andyross | thumb2 look an awful lot like i386, in fact |
06:07.42 | andyross | ducks |
06:07.44 | geist | the new docs are pretty hateful |
06:07.48 | geist | yep, exactly |
06:08.19 | swetland | 15 prefix bytes ftw |
06:08.26 | geist | now that we're essentially post instruction set making that much of a difference but cpu speed still outstripping memory, having dense .text matters more than anything else |
06:08.28 | SanMehat | hahaha |
06:08.39 | geist | intel waited long enough that having cisc ends up eventually paying off |
06:09.22 | geist | though i suspect that stuffing 256K or so of L2 in front of a usually cache starved arm starts making the thumb advantage go away |
06:09.29 | andyross | More like when you have 22 pipeline stages, an extra one or two for instruction decode doesn't seem like such a big deal. |
06:09.56 | geist | exactly. the cost of decoding x86 or thumb or thumb2 is more or less fixed, wheras the size of the cpu is going up by moores law |
06:10.04 | geist | now it's just this tiny little corner |
06:10.32 | jbq | x86 started to pull off when intel started to design chipsets with good L2 and RAM interfaces. |
06:10.42 | geist | and anyway, thumb2 is still pretty darn easy to decode. all 32bit thumb instructions have the same first couple of bits |
06:10.57 | SanMehat | 0xEA.......? |
06:10.58 | geist | it's easy to decide to fetch the next |
06:11.23 | geist | i forget. the 32bit instructions all fit into a previously unused piece of the 16bit thumb instruction space |
06:11.40 | swetland | oh wacky |
06:11.45 | swetland | qsd8250 has stacked memory |
06:11.50 | swetland | for some reason I thought it didn't |
06:12.19 | jbq | geist: ewww, that could have been a description of UTF-16. |
06:12.34 | RyeBrye | any word on how fast the dev phone ship? |
06:12.39 | geist | the only real icky thing in thumb2 is the way the emulated conditional instructions: the it isntruction lets you modify up to the next 4 instructions |
06:12.54 | geist | basically you can specify on conditiion <foo> take the next n instructions and dont take the next m |
06:13.00 | geist | where n + m <= 4 |
06:13.25 | RyeBrye | Oh, and do dev phones have only OSS stack of software, or will they have youtube... etc. on them? |
06:13.43 | jbq | geist: oh, wacky. |
06:13.46 | swetland | you know, I honestly don't know exactly what's in that build |
06:13.47 | ttuttle | geist: wow, that's powerful |
06:14.10 | geist | ttuttle: not as much as the original 32bit arm instruction set, where every instruction has a 4 bit condition field |
06:14.16 | geist | that's *very* powerful |
06:14.22 | andyross | expressive instructions aren't always a win though. They have to be worth the die area required to support them, which could be used for cache or whatnot. |
06:14.43 | ttuttle | geist: oh, wow |
06:14.46 | geist | yeah, arm is a realy fun instruction set for hacking by hand |
06:14.57 | geist | but meh, compilers do all the dirty work now |
06:15.11 | jbq | remembers Be's x86 compression code that made it 5x smaller (gzip typically only gets 2x). |

06:21.51 | joeo | is this the one that would send it down daisy chained 10 Base 2? |

06:23.45 | RyeBrye | the jumping a few miles is probably less rapist friendly |
06:24.01 | geist | yeah, it would swim around in your tank for a whiel before jumping again |

06:37.55 | geist | well, guess not that slow |
06:38.03 | swetland | okay, time to understand how the hell the cpu clock control works on this beast ^^ |
06:38.39 | geist | you have to go ask the smaller, retarded, cousin to set it up for you? |
06:38.58 | swetland | nah. cpu clock is owned by the cpu |
06:39.08 | swetland | just works differently than on 7k |

07:13.25 | ttuttle | muthu_: ? |
07:13.41 | muthu_ | am trying to order the developer device.. |
07:13.41 | rwhitby | So that $25 + $399 + $225 total? |
07:13.46 | ttuttle | muthu_: $399 includes free shipping, I thought. |
07:13.53 | romainguy_ | in the US |
07:13.57 | muthu_ | nope, 225$ shipping for india |
07:14.04 | ttuttle | muthu_: oh |
07:14.17 | romainguy_ | the shipping probably includes custom taxes |
07:14.27 | ttuttle | romainguy_: ah |
07:14.31 | muthu_ | hmm.. |

07:19.36 | romainguy_ | it's not a G1 :) |
07:19.40 | ttuttle | muthu_: So it's got an unlocked bootloader and radio. Also, it runs Google dogfood builds :) |

07:27.36 | swetland | xsdg: foul lies! |
07:27.45 | ttuttle | xsdg: no, maybe in android 2.0. |
07:27.55 | romainguy_ | swetland: I heard last week from an old friend of mine I didn't talk to in the past few years, he's working full time on OpenMoko stuff |
07:28.01 | romainguy_ | writing yet another UI toolkit ^^ |
07:28.16 | swetland | you can never have too many ui toolkits |
07:28.34 | romainguy_ | swetland: can I start a new one for Android 2? :) |
07:28.35 | xsdg | someone should make a UI toolkit called "GIT" |
07:28.43 | xsdg | "Generally Integrated Toolkit" |
07:28.49 | ttuttle | swetland: android needs another few |
07:29.05 | swetland | romain: only if it's backed by GL and designed for hw accel from day one |
07:29.07 | romainguy_ | still wants to write a scenegraph/physics engine based UI toolkit |
07:29.10 | swetland | if so, you have my blessing |
07:29.11 | romainguy_ | swetland: that was implied |
07:29.37 | RyeBrye | romainguy_: I could help you with that physics engine - depending upon when you wanted to do it |
07:29.39 | xsdg | romainguy_: only if you write the physics engine :o) |
07:29.56 | ttuttle | swetland: so how are things going? |
07:29.57 | romainguy_ | well GridView almost has a physics engine inside ^^ |
07:30.01 | RyeBrye | How complicated / accurate do you want to get? |
07:30.06 | RyeBrye | majored in computational physics |
07:30.15 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: cool |
07:30.27 | xsdg | RyeBrye: well, clearly, folks are going to want to use their phones for N-body simulations |
07:30.28 | RyeBrye | which really means nothing as far as physics simulations are concerned, but it SOUNDS like it should :) |
07:30.37 | xsdg | RyeBrye: how do you think Sky Map figures out where the stars are? |
07:30.42 | RyeBrye | I did tinker with the Open Dynamics Engine for a while |
07:30.42 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: it's to layout widgets so... :) |
07:30.56 | RyeBrye | Oh, you probably can just fake it all then |
07:31.21 | RyeBrye | well... by fake it I mean you woudln't want to give widgets mass and momentum and joints or anything, right? |
07:31.30 | romainguy_ | that's where you wrong :) |
07:31.31 | RyeBrye | like... no ragdoll widgets? |
07:31.32 | romainguy_ | you never know :p |
07:31.35 | xsdg | RyeBrye: yes, the widgets like a toke every once in a while |
07:31.48 | romainguy_ | especially when it comes to animating layouts/transitions, that could be useful |
07:32.07 | RyeBrye | are you talking 3D or just 2D plane physics? |
07:32.10 | romainguy_ | 2D |
07:32.18 | RyeBrye | Yeah, 2d is a lot simpler |
07:32.23 | xsdg | romainguy_: of course, you could have all the widgets on a mat with some friction, and then run the accelerometer 24/7 |
07:32.25 | RyeBrye | well, 1 dimension simpler :) |
07:32.29 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: did you know that listview uses the coefficient of friction of leather on ice expressed in pixels per second? :) |
07:32.41 | xsdg | RyeBrye: you can actually do rotation in 2d |
07:32.44 | RyeBrye | That's cool, I didn't look at it much |
07:32.55 | xsdg | romainguy_: haha |
07:33.06 | romainguy_ | (maybe it's not leather on ice anymore, I changed that coefficient too many times to recall, but it's a real coefficient :) |
07:33.28 | RyeBrye | Yeah, using a real one that closely matches the sensation you are trying to express would make sense |
07:33.30 | xsdg | romainguy_: what's the spring constant for the app drawer? |
07:33.37 | romainguy_ | it doesn't use a spring |
07:33.50 | romainguy_ | I did use spring equations to implement a bouncing drag and drop once though |
07:34.05 | romainguy_ | (you drop an item on your desktop, it bounces a little when it falls and hits the desktop :) |
07:34.10 | xsdg | romainguy_: I should find some excuse to get you to solve the Navier-Stokes eqns |
07:34.19 | romainguy_ | I hate maths |
07:34.24 | xsdg | bah, math is awesome |
07:34.26 | RyeBrye | I think I did nothing but spring equations for an entire year in college. |
07:34.28 | romainguy_ | no |
07:34.34 | RyeBrye | or variations of things involving springs |
07:34.35 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: ouch :) |
07:34.38 | xsdg | romainguy_: what's better than math? |
07:34.41 | xsdg | nothing |
07:34.44 | romainguy_ | pretty much everything |
07:35.26 | romainguy_ | including steamed fennel |
07:35.28 | RyeBrye | WEll... htat's a bit of an exaggeration - but yeah, lots of different driven oscillators and stuff |
07:35.29 | romainguy_ | and it's pretty bad :) |
07:35.39 | RyeBrye | steamed fennel? nah - you have to toast it and crush it |
07:35.44 | RyeBrye | then put it on pork |
07:35.46 | xsdg | MARMITE! |
07:35.49 | RyeBrye | (well, fennel seed) |
07:35.50 | jham | romainguy_: I think ListView is now using the coefficient of friction of cold Mexican Coke on a fake wooden desk |
07:35.53 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: I guess that's better than all the project management I did in school |
07:35.55 | offby1 | xsdg: spread thinly on toast |

07:41.53 | RyeBrye | offby1: - good point. I never thought about steel drums - but I have a good contact with the head of the acoustics department - who is also the chair of the physics department... I could bug him and see his answer. |
07:42.08 | xsdg | offby1: steel drums are... metal... |
07:42.21 | RyeBrye | Right, but the musical pitch to them |
07:42.22 | xsdg | offby1: the head isn't something stretched over a frame |
07:42.51 | RyeBrye | yeah, but the vibrations have to propogate - and the constraints are similar in how they can move if it's circular |
07:42.57 | xsdg | RyeBrye: they tune them, likely by changing the shape and thickness of the metal |
07:43.03 | xsdg | RyeBrye: steel drums have pockets |
07:43.22 | xsdg | RyeBrye: it's not like they just cut a steel trashcan in half :o) |

07:47.47 | xsdg | romainguy_: not allowed |
07:47.47 | romainguy_ | so many duplicates in the bug tracker |
07:47.47 | RyeBrye | you should outsource that dup finding to someone |
07:47.55 | xsdg | RyeBrye: hey; need a free job? |
07:48.04 | JesusFreke | basically, the add mass to the drum head in such a way to align the different modes more harmonically |
07:48.04 | RyeBrye | ducks |
07:48.13 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: I'm not looking for dups, I just monitor the new bugs, and notice they are dups :) |
07:48.15 | RyeBrye | JesusFreke: that's interesting |
07:48.25 | JesusFreke | so you actually get a "pitched" sound, when hit correctly |
07:48.47 | xsdg | JesusFreke: can they do other things to make the sound yaw and roll also? |
07:48.50 | offby1 | I summarize that page as: "Nobody really knows why steel drums sound the way they do" |
07:49.03 | offby1 | slaps xsdg upside the haid |
07:49.13 | xsdg | :o) |
07:49.18 | RyeBrye | romainguy_: You could create a series of menial tasks and have someone calculate the $ / dev hour each task is worth - and then find some economical way to make it cheaper to reward other people with random dev phone giveaways for slaving away at the project |
07:49.21 | JesusFreke | xsdg, no. they haven't figured out how to put ailerons on the drumhead yet.. |
07:49.23 | JesusFreke | :D |

07:49.45 | RyeBrye | kind of like how the national park service gives out Volunteer passes for a year - but you hve to do 1000 hours or something to get one (and buying one only costs $85) |
07:49.49 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: or I could just use all that time to actually fix bugs :)) |

07:53.32 | romainguy_ | RyeBrye: we have that too, you just haven't seen it yet :) |
07:55.05 | RyeBrye | I found a few bugs in Flex 3 beta and submitted them when I was still new to the Flex framework - they were almost all eventually marked as "wontfix" with some long explanation - but I just figured I was the problem... but slowly over the past year or two I've found about a dozen blog posts linking to people ranting about whatever specifc bug it was I reported |
07:55.23 | RyeBrye | minor stuff... like they changed their Panel container and completely broke behavior... etc. |

07:57.32 | romainguy_ | I had a pass but couldn't go |
07:57.34 | RyeBrye | I think I can say I've used it |
07:57.53 | romainguy_ | that said I guess I coul djust ask for it |
07:58.12 | RyeBrye | Yeah, they have a closed prerelease that you could easily get on with your connections to get the latest and greatest |
07:58.36 | romainguy_ | it served me well in the past :)) |
07:58.51 | romainguy_ | I'm glad I didn't have to pay for Flex Builder |
07:59.03 | RyeBrye | well.... there are several ways of accomplishing that objective :) |
07:59.21 | romainguy_ | +legally |
07:59.24 | RyeBrye | :) |
07:59.39 | RyeBrye | Flex Builder 4 adds such advanced coding stuff like... wait for it... generating getters and setters! |
07:59.44 | romainguy_ | the Adobe employees discounts on the Creative Suite and Photoshop are also pretty col |
07:59.46 | romainguy_ | cool |
07:59.59 | romainguy_ | yeah Flex Builder is nice but it lags far behind free Java IDEs |
08:00.11 | romainguy_ | I haven't tried Flex support in IntelliJ yet |
08:00.13 | RyeBrye | Yeah. IntelliJ is throwing its weight into the Flex stuff nicely |
08:00.20 | RyeBrye | It does basic refactoring already |
08:00.51 | RyeBrye | It handles the actionscript parts of it much faster than Flex Builder - plus doing a simple rename refactoring doesn't take 5 minutes |
08:01.19 | RyeBrye | Is your friend involved with the android bit? |
08:02.37 | RyeBrye | If they are doing a closed beta of it, I'd really like to get on it - since my day job right now is doing a big flex project I really want to see it on a phone... etc. - plus I CAN keep my mouth shut about stuff if I have to :) |

14:23.37 | Leeds | infobot: devphones |
14:23.38 | infobot | extra, extra, read all about it, devphones is a phone with magical powers and will make all your wildest dreams come true. You can read about them here: http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html - in order to buy one, you have to pay a $25 to be in the "developer club" and then you can get into the back room where they keep them behind a curtain of lava. very expensive to ship outside the US, or sporting this: http://tinyurl.com/54sxg2 |

15:06.04 | jbq | I think that it's a slightly more recent build, so it might have a few extra bugfixes, but the differences should be fairly minor. |
15:06.21 | Disconnect | is it the harbinger of updated OSS trees? :) |
15:07.28 | jbq | Well, the roadmap still says "this quarter" for the next big OSS push (and hopefully the last big one), so, in a way, yes. |
15:07.46 | Disconnect | heh |

15:36.55 | obra | kennyyu: you should use git and repo to clone the source |
15:37.06 | kennyyu | ya, but my connection to git:// seems very slow......... |
15:37.34 | obra | *nod* |
15:37.42 | obra | do you want the whole OS or just part of it? |
15:38.01 | jbq | You can download tarballs for the individual projects. Check the snapshot link here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree and replicate for each project. |
15:38.02 | Disconnect | mikey|: walk in and ask (or call up and ask) |
15:38.18 | kennyyu | obra: i'm new to it... in fact i just want the emulator + the webkit sources |
15:38.49 | kennyyu | but not sure whether there are any inter-dependencies in between these 2 and the other projects.. |
15:38.55 | infernix | Disconnect: i've got an RC30 here and an RC28 on the way. with the dev showing up i feel kind of screwed |
15:39.12 | jbq | kennyyu: depends... do you want to compile it, or just read the source? |
15:39.13 | obra | kennyyu: ok. for the emulator, you want to grab the SDK |
15:39.18 | infernix | especially with the myfaves crap. i cant consciously sell it to someone without a t-mo subscription here in the netherlands |
15:39.20 | obra | or at least start there |
15:39.21 | Disconnect | infernix: yah. they did make vague statements about a dev device "someday". but i agree, they pretty well fucked over the platform hackers. |
15:39.36 | kennyyu | jbq: yes i'll have to compile it |
15:39.46 | jbq | kennyyu: then you need to download everything. |

15:39.51 | kennyyu | obra: alright. then the binary SDK you mean? |

15:40.03 | kennyyu | jbq: hmm.. |
15:40.08 | infernix | Disconnect: myfaves sends SMS to number 453. this costs major bucks when not in the US and/or not on T-Mobile |

15:40.43 | kennyyu | just to pull webkit snapshot? |
15:40.44 | obra | kennyyu: the emulator is part of the binary sdk. start by grabbing that |

15:49.00 | jbq | kennyyu: could you post that on repo-discuss? git (the tool) is capable of working over http (the protocol), so somewhere in theory is should be possible to configure the server and/or repo to go over http. |

15:59.44 | hyo_ | hey guys: is there someone that has tested the android kernel by sean mcneil for the freerunner? |
16:00.00 | jbq | pfft: the source code for individual releases of individual devices isn't necessarily available. |
16:00.08 | obra | "# We regret to inform developers that SDK 1.0_r2 does not support MFM, RLL, or Winchester hard disk drives." |
16:00.13 | Disconnect | pfft: the bad news is, its apache licensed. so there is nothing that says they should give you source to what you are running. |
16:00.31 | jbq | pfft: the android-1.0 tag in git is as close as you'll get. |
16:00.47 | ahaberlach | The good news is, Google gives you the source to most of it anyway. :) |
16:01.00 | jbq | Hey ahaberlach |
16:01.15 | pfft | jbq: and the android-1.0 tag cooresponds to which rc number? |
16:01.36 | Disconnect | pfft: it is sorta what went out with the g1 |
16:01.46 | jbq | pfft: it doesn't correspond to a specific RC, but it's close to 28 if I remember correctly. |
16:01.49 | Disconnect | it is not an rc. there is NO SOURE FOR EACH RC. |
16:01.50 | andyross | Bah. Someone needs to fix the disk drive joke. "Winchester" just refers to an air-floating head over a rotating platter. Unless the SDK works only on SSD drives, that is. |

16:03.18 | pfft | jbq: cool! android-1.0 tag is close to rc28 ... cool finally a semi sane answer |
16:03.19 | jbq | pfft: the RCs of releases for individual devices typically live in private "deployment" branches maintained by or for the individual phone manufacturers. |
16:03.41 | pfft | jbq: thanks for the great info |
16:03.44 | jbq | np |
16:03.56 | pfft | jbq: are there any web pages that explain all this in more detail? |
16:04.18 | andyross | So the upshot is that there seem to have been no changes to the tools? If adb/aapt/dx/apkbuilder haven't changed, I don't think I need to grab it yet. |
16:05.02 | jbq | pfft: not quite at this point. the process as it has existed so far does quite match the process as we'd like it to be in the future, so if we documented what we've done it'd have very limited value, and if we documented the way we want to work it wouldn't match the current reality. |
16:05.34 | pfft | jbq: thanks for splaining |
16:05.35 | jbq | pfft: I expect that on a 6-month timeframe theory and reality will match much better, and that there'll be more documentation about that. |
16:07.48 | pfft | jbq: why is there such a disdain of delineating a rough equivalence between svn tags, and rc numbers? especially if some of them are pretty obvious ... like the one you mentioned? |
16:07.55 | SanMehat | ah crap forgot to choosecombo |
16:08.53 | jbq | pfft: there's no exact match. |
16:09.41 | jbq | pfft: at a certain point in development, individual deployment branches don't use the exact source code as the platform (because at some point you start to really cherry-pick individual bugfixes for each precise device). |
16:10.00 | pfft | jbq: i bet someone has been doing rough matches ... i.e. when they see some new code coming in after a repo sync ... they "know" that was for rc30, for e.g. |
16:10.34 | pfft | jbq: i see |
16:10.36 | andyross | RC30 fixed a bug in code that AFAIK isn't in git. |
16:10.39 | jbq | like I said, the process has been imprecise, and what you're seeing in git doesn't match closely enough to be able to compare individual RCs. |
16:10.55 | jbq | andyross: actually, that was pushed to git yesterday. |
16:11.09 | pfft | andyross: what code is not in git? do you know? |

16:11.54 | jbq | SanMehat: lol |
16:12.01 | andyross | I was talking about the init stuff -- the root hole that triggered RC30. I took a quick peek and couldn't find it in the source tree, and just assumed it was G1-specific. |
16:12.15 | jbq | andyross: actually, it was all in git. |
16:12.23 | andyross | Heh, never mind then. :) |
16:12.57 | jbq | wait, uh... where was it? |
16:12.59 | pfft | jbq: it looks like almost everything is in git |
16:13.16 | pfft | jbq: i can find code for almost everything there ... |
16:13.46 | pfft | jbq: everything from the dev drivers all the way up to the dialing apps |
16:14.06 | jbq | pfft: yes, like I said, pretty close. The Android platform contains a lot of stuff. |
16:14.17 | jbq | (those 22 million lines better do *something*) |
16:14.33 | andyross | Everything meaningful is in git. Some hardware code is not (there are libraries to do all the interaction with the DSPs or GPU, maybe a few other proprietary bits). |
16:14.34 | pfft | jbq: is there stuff that is not in git? if so, how much stuff, and what is the function of that stuff? |

16:46.43 | SanMehat | if you say so |
16:47.19 | Disconnect | how long will it take you to write a dhcpd for PAN? cuz i can add one to busybox in about 12 seconds. (and its already tested upstream) |

I want to create a closed source commercial application and I want to protect my intellectual property. ""No"etc |
16:48.42 | SanMehat | as for uid/gid vs selinux. That decision predates me, but i'm fine with whats in place now. |
16:49.09 | Disconnect | note that you can even static-link, if you offer (eg platform-sdk) bins that can be relinked to newer uclibc (no need to offer source, readble or otherwise, to your app. just relinking capability) |

18:42.37 | JuanDaugherty | CA-US is a special case. |
18:43.11 | SanMehat | in any event, my understanding is they're going to update the site to be clearer on the shipping costs |
18:43.57 | d0netsFN | if they want to be totally clear they should say "we are raping you on shipping cost" |
18:44.02 | SanMehat | i'm not aware of each countries import duties |

18:44.24 | tomh | mm that phone is 580 usd for me :( |

18:44.38 | romainguy_ | d0netsFN: sure |
18:44.40 | romainguy_ | but |
18:44.45 | romainguy_ | if the customs inspect the package |

18:47.35 | d0netsFN | exactly, not why the hell is a 400$ phone almost that much |
18:47.44 | SanMehat | because cars are not phones |
18:47.50 | SanMehat | and the car was over 3 years old |
18:47.50 | RyeBrye | romainguy_: I have 2 hands though! ;) |

18:48.31 | SanMehat | go write to Canadian Customs |
18:48.52 | romainguy_ | and $399 for a phone with that hardware and completely unlocked is a really sweet deal :)) |

18:49.13 | SanMehat | thats shipping |
18:49.16 | SanMehat | not import duties |
18:49.20 | romainguy_ | you ship it for $80 |
18:49.22 | romainguy_ | the customs intercept it |
18:49.28 | romainguy_ | and you get a nice bill in your mailbox |
18:49.29 | SanMehat | then you get a call from a customs broker |
18:49.35 | romainguy_ | knows from experience :)) |
18:49.39 | SanMehat | they call you and say 'if you want t his to go through you gotta pay another $200' |
18:49.44 | romainguy_ | oh and when customs intercept it, they keep it for a while :)) |
18:49.58 | SanMehat | yeah |
18:50.00 | SanMehat | a long while |
18:50.13 | romainguy_ | I paid about 90 euros on my 200 euros PSP when I imported from Japan to France for instance |
18:50.16 | SanMehat | d0netsFN: contact a customs broker. They can explain this to you. |
18:51.00 | d0netsFN | ok |
18:51.02 | d0netsFN | someone buy 10 |

18:58.41 | SanMehat | at least in canada it would be for sure |

18:58.56 | romainguy_ | mikey|: there are also laws on how many devices with radios you can import in the US without being in trouble |
18:59.13 | luok | the whole point is protectionism so that canadian companies can make their own g1..haha |
18:59.13 | romainguy_ | (that caused delays to get the Android's team devices in :) |
18:59.19 | zhobbs | I would think a lot of companies have distribution centers in other countries, they don't pay $200 in taxes to bring a US product into their distribution center |
18:59.32 | zhobbs | (a $400 product) |
18:59.50 | SanMehat | i'm not into imports / exports |
18:59.51 | luok | zhobbs: they'd probably have to manufacture it there |
18:59.57 | luok | i dunno |
19:00.00 | SanMehat | i only know what i know from having had to ship crap back and forth and paid through the nose for it |
19:00.05 | romainguy_ | zhobbs: remember this is a device for developers |
19:00.07 | romainguy_ | small batches |
19:00.12 | romainguy_ | not widespread distributions |
19:00.21 | romainguy_ | it's not the same as channeling through T-Mobile |
19:00.21 | RyeBrye | is glad that we have found something else to bitch about - bitching about root / locked-down phones was getting old :) |
19:00.22 | zhobbs | romainguy_: yeah, I understand it's not worth google's effort for this product... |
19:00.35 | romainguy_ | and Google does not sell phones :) |
19:00.42 | zhobbs | just saying that for the G1 for example, they aren't paying that much in import taxes |
19:01.02 | xsdg | zhobbs: you don't really know what T-mobile is paying for the phones |
19:01.26 | SanMehat | anyways.. back to coding |
19:01.27 | SanMehat | peas. |
19:01.49 | xsdg | zhobbs: just because the customer doesn't see the cost enumerated doesn't mean that T-mobile isn't paying for it |
19:02.47 | xsdg | zhobbs: also, since they pretty much do this for a living, they've probably figured out ways to keep those costs down as much as possible |
19:02.53 | d0netsFN | ok so if you ship like 100 of them |
19:02.57 | d0netsFN | you still pay the same amount or twat |

19:28.53 | luok | heh i like the one with the macbook air and c64 better |
19:28.59 | d0netsFN | lol tomh |
19:29.14 | tomh | kirberich: don't bet on it though |
19:29.25 | xsdg | kirberich: I couldn't see why. The dev phone is not related to the G1 other than being the same hardware |
19:29.31 | kirberich | true |
19:29.49 | kirberich | I guess I'll just have to cough up the 580 bucks then ;) |
19:29.56 | kirberich | tomh: you ordered a dev phone? |
19:29.57 | ttuttle | 580?! |
19:30.01 | tomh | no |
19:30.02 | kirberich | 400 + 180 |
19:30.03 | ttuttle | jeez, that's absurd. |
19:30.11 | tomh | 580 usd |
19:30.14 | tomh | thats like 450 euro |
19:30.17 | kirberich | yeah |
19:30.19 | tomh | iphone costs 525 |
19:30.25 | jbq | ttuttle: import taxes on electronics can be very hefty in many parts of the world. |
19:30.30 | ttuttle | why doeesn't google ship a few to each office abroad and then sghip them from there. |
19:30.35 | ttuttle | jbq: ah. why? |
19:30.40 | kirberich | jbq: they are 20 percent in this case |
19:30.57 | jbq | ttuttle: because those countries have high taxes! |
19:30.59 | kirberich | there's no import tax on cell phones, but you have to pay salex tax |
19:31.03 | tomh | i think you can get some import duties back if you are a company in the EU |
19:31.13 | xsdg | tomh: to quote san from earlier |
19:31.14 | xsdg | 13:58:27 <@SanMehat> mikey|: thats illegal, and i believe would count as smuggling |
19:31.33 | kirberich | tomh: you may have a point there |
19:31.33 | xsdg | err... ttuttle: ^^^ |
19:31.38 | ttuttle | xsdg: yeah I know. |
19:31.46 | kirberich | oh, and it's 605 of course. |
19:31.46 | d0netsFN | hardcore, smugglin phones |
19:31.48 | tomh | at least the VAT is something we can ask back |
19:31.53 | kirberich | still have to register for the market |
19:31.55 | tomh | which is 20% |
19:32.13 | tomh | so thats 450 euro - 90 |
19:32.17 | tomh | 360 euro |
19:32.20 | jbq | ttuttle: you can't expect the money to pay for what those countries offer to their residents to come out of thin air. |
19:32.20 | tomh | not bad? |
19:32.52 | kirberich | tomh: seems almost reasonable ;) |
19:33.04 | tomh | ye |
19:33.15 | tomh | for an unlocked phone pretty good |
19:33.18 | tomh | too bad no gps right |
19:33.23 | kirberich | hu? |
19:33.41 | kirberich | why no gps? |
19:33.47 | RyeBrye | I'm pretty sure it has GPS |
19:34.23 | tomh | isnt listed in the features.. |
19:34.31 | RyeBrye | It would probably cost them more to remove it and set up a new production run than it would to just leave it in |
19:34.39 | kirberich | well it's identical to the g1 I thought? |
19:34.48 | ttuttle | Why would they remove it? |
19:34.49 | jbq | Might have been forgotten on the lis. I'll relay the information "inside" to confirm it. |

19:35.27 | waldo_ | new sdk! |
19:35.32 | waldo_ | but I guess that's in the topic :) |
19:35.44 | tomh | jbq: you heard from inside sources it has gps? |
19:36.00 | RyeBrye | while you are at it - some other hardware features that aren't being used include: pedometer and a thermometer (also on that accelerometer / compass chip) - since these are "dev phones" maybe "devs" might be interested in these features they could somehow get working :) |
19:36.04 | jbq | tomh: no, but I'm passing the question to the people who'd know. |
19:36.13 | tomh | ok |
19:36.19 | tomh | let me know :) |
19:36.20 | jbq | I'd be very surprised and disappointed if it wasn't there. |
19:36.24 | ttuttle | Ooh, a thermometer? That'd be cool. |
19:36.24 | kirberich | I would be seriously confused if the dev phone didn't have gps |
19:36.35 | kirberich | that just wouldn't make _any_ sense at all |
19:36.42 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: What makes the pedometer different from the accelerometer. |
19:37.14 | ttuttle | s/./?/ |
19:37.17 | RyeBrye | ttuttle: I have no clue - except that it has easy methods to get number of steps and reset number of steps? probably uses less energy to rely on it to track that crap itself than for you to poll the sensor and figure out when steps are taken in software |
19:37.18 | offby1 | wants a baconometer |
19:37.19 | SanMehat | isn't a pedometer something you can make out of an accelerometer? |
19:37.24 | RyeBrye | Yeah, it is |
19:37.26 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: ah |
19:37.28 | SanMehat | offby1: mmmmm |
19:37.29 | ttuttle | o |
19:37.29 | RyeBrye | Which is proabbly why it's not been used :) |
19:37.31 | ttuttle | er |
19:37.42 | ttuttle | wants an awesomeometer. |
19:37.52 | jbq | ttuttle: pedometer can be done with a lot less precision (and therefore a lot less power) than an accelerometer. |
19:37.58 | ttuttle | jbq: ah |

19:40.55 | jaypur | just some videos... but maybe it is fake |

19:42.26 | RyeBrye | Wait, why woudl I want to install mutant killer alien brain in my child?!? |
19:42.35 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: First, find the JTAG interface... |
19:42.56 | RyeBrye | I might write a simple C program to see what that temp sensor reports |
19:43.29 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: I'm curious if it's placed such that it reasonably measures ambient temperature. |
19:43.44 | RyeBrye | Also, doesn't the acceleromter just give X/Y/Z now? what's the 4th one on both the compass and the acceleromter - is that used? RUDDER and WHEEL ? |
19:44.20 | ttuttle | RyeBrye: accelerometer gives rotation and translation in 3d = 6d total. |
19:44.28 | RyeBrye | Oh, cool |
19:44.58 | jbq | RyeBrye: I suggest that you don't spend too much time on the current sensor code. The next code drop will have a lot of new code in that area. |
19:45.15 | jbq | Actually, the accelerometer doesn't measure rotations, only translations. |
19:45.39 | jbq | but there's also the 3d compass, which. |

19:45.55 | ivantis | ؟ |
19:46.00 | RyeBrye | jbq: That's cool. you mean the platform code or the kernel code? I'm looking at the stuff in the 2.6.27 branch which is going to be part of the next big code drop, I presume? |
19:46.20 | jbq | RyeBrye: I'm talking about the platform code. |

20:47.59 | Disconnect | ..so no myfavs. does that mean no gmail, no contact sync, no maps, no..? |
20:48.05 | jbq | I have to admit that I never actually ran that system image on any of my phones. |

20:50.04 | RyeBrye | or more importantly, what it is the channel where upgrades for the official apps for the dev phones will be distributed? |
20:50.08 | jbq | Disconnect: I don't actually know, to be honest. |
20:50.09 | JesusFreke | luok, it doesn't have anything to do with tmobile :D |
20:50.13 | JesusFreke | infobot devphones |
20:50.14 | infobot | well, devphones is a phone with magical powers and will make all your wildest dreams come true. You can read about them here: http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html - in order to buy one, you have to pay a $25 to be in the "developer club" and then you can get into the back room where they keep them behind a curtain of lava. very expensive to ship outside the US, or sporting this: http://tinyurl.com/54sxg2 |
20:50.17 | Disconnect | fair enough. its kinda a concern tho :) |
20:50.18 | luok | no the older one |
20:50.32 | JesusFreke | oh, nevermind |
20:50.35 | Disconnect | JesusFreke: there is a discount/rebate for smartphones from microsoft which, for some reason, applies to the g1 also |
20:50.36 | luok | the other deal is a better one for me |
20:50.42 | JesusFreke | sorry, I know what you're talking about now luok |
20:50.43 | RyeBrye | so when YouTube 2.0 or whatever comes out - how will those with devphones get it? Presumably it will be pushed OTA to g1 owners - but there is probably no OTA on the dev phones |
20:50.51 | Disconnect | RyeBrye: i'd hope not |
20:50.55 | JesusFreke | I just don't have a link handy :) |
20:51.08 | Disconnect | but straight out you lose if you reflash the platform (which is what the dev phone is for..) |
20:51.09 | luok | haha crap i think this was it: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/tmobile3/default.mspx |
20:51.11 | AstainHellbring | anyone know what freqs the devphones will work on for wcdma? |
20:51.18 | luok | page don't exists |
20:51.40 | jbq | I'd assume that people who do development would have a computer and a USB cable and will know how to download an image and flash it. |
20:51.53 | jbq | AstainHellbring: UMTS 1700 and 2100 |
20:51.57 | JesusFreke | agrees with jpq |
20:52.17 | AstainHellbring | thats all for the devphone? thats lame |
20:52.22 | RyeBrye | jbq: but the question is where the proprietary apps will come from when they are updated - or how you can restore them if you reflash an OSS tree build and lose your youtube / gmail |
20:52.29 | Disconnect | jbq: that assumes there is some way to -get- the apps to be added to the image.. |

20:52.51 | Nafai | Too many application ideas, too little time |
20:52.58 | RyeBrye | an easy first step would be to provide an nbh for download to devs who have bought the phone |
20:53.06 | jbq_ | gah, stupid wifi disconnection... |
20:53.14 | RyeBrye | so then you could at least restore to default after banging around on it |
20:53.25 | Disconnect | RyeBrye: i suspect if they wanted to do that they'd have done it already.. |
20:53.37 | Disconnect | would love to see it, but.. |
20:53.39 | RyeBrye | Disconnect: this one doesn't have to be signed by HTC though |
20:53.46 | Disconnect | bear in mind that the g1 is from tmobile and the "dev 1" is from google.... |
20:53.49 | RyeBrye | Disconnect: this one can be just unsigned or signed by some test key |
20:53.55 | Disconnect | ah i gotcha |
20:54.14 | RyeBrye | so thye can have a DEVRESTORE.NBH you could flash with the dev bootloader that can't be flashed on a G1 bootloader - but would reflash the whole dev phone back to a functional / virgin state |
20:54.19 | RyeBrye | I would hope this kind of thing would be provided |

20:55.05 | Disconnect | heh |
20:55.05 | RyeBrye | don't even use the phone with it - save battery :) |
20:55.46 | jbq_ | RyeBrye: as long as you have a working unlocked bootloader (and probably a correct partition table and maybe few other basic things) you should be able to recover from bad system partitions and stuff. |
20:57.06 | RyeBrye | jbq_: recovering to functional state isn't the concern. It's recovering to a state with the Google proprietary apps that we have no source available for - yet come with the dev phones |
20:57.26 | RyeBrye | jbq_: I know you can get it functioning... but if you don't have a full system image to restore from, it's kind of hard to recreate those proprietary apps |
20:57.33 | jbq_ | RyeBrye: yes, one of the first things we need to do is to make the original image available for download. |
20:57.47 | JesusFreke | that would be perfect :) |

21:58.45 | kirberich | d0netsFN: you talking about the one in private beta, or one I don't know about yet? |
21:59.06 | d0netsFN | http://countercultured.net/ircbeta.apk |
21:59.09 | d0netsFN | yea its a beta |
21:59.17 | michaelnovakjr__ | that sucks though doesn't it? |
21:59.23 | kirberich | ah, just not so private anymore? ;) |
21:59.45 | michaelnovakjr__ | i downloaded that and it was horrible |
22:00.20 | d0netsFN | nah |
22:00.22 | d0netsFN | its pretty nice |
22:00.25 | d0netsFN | and he adds shit every day |
22:00.32 | d0netsFN | that apk is updated lots |
22:00.40 | kirberich | is there a decent gps logger yet? |
22:00.42 | d0netsFN | he hangs out in my chan on efnet |
22:00.55 | bbs | michaelnovakjr__: what are you considering programming this in |
22:00.57 | kirberich | best would be one that can upload gps logs |

22:03.35 | michaelnovakjr__ | i'll make an announcement |
22:03.35 | d0netsFN | so it shows my phone ip |
22:03.39 | d0netsFN | i really am tempted to ddos it |
22:03.44 | michaelnovakjr__ | just remember mine will be free, so don't waste money :) |
22:03.56 | d0netsFN | thats what i tell him |
22:04.00 | d0netsFN | i told him .99 max |
22:04.04 | d0netsFN | he wants to charge like 5 bucks |
22:04.09 | d0netsFN | that = me pirating it |
22:04.12 | kirberich | lol |
22:04.28 | kirberich | therefore: $5 == free. |
22:04.54 | d0netsFN | if i can get my guitar tuner ported i might consider making a pro version with all stringed instruments including a piano, adding a metronome and drum machine and chords, for .99 |
22:05.01 | d0netsFN | but the guitar tuner wil be free |
22:05.28 | Disconnect | right cuz its got gpl code. of course it'll be free. |
22:05.33 | d0netsFN | but ive been dealing with the last 2 weeks of the semester + finals |
22:05.39 | Disconnect | as will all the other instruments |
22:05.49 | d0netsFN | yea i think i will have to do the tuner free |
22:05.50 | d0netsFN | for all |
22:06.08 | d0netsFN | then add the chords metronome and alternate tunings for each instruments |
22:06.12 | d0netsFN | i can charge for that? |
22:06.17 | d0netsFN | can i* |
22:06.25 | Disconnect | ask a lawyer. but basically no. |
22:06.45 | kirberich | d0netsFN: it might be possible to charge for the distribution through the market |
22:06.47 | d0netsFN | i need to talk to him |
22:06.55 | kirberich | but you will still need to make the code available for free |
22:06.57 | obra | you can, but you have to give away the source and let other people give it away and change it |
22:07.06 | obra | (See early versions of cygwin, for example) |
22:07.06 | michaelnovakjr__ | well, at any rate mine will be free and probably better :) |
22:07.08 | kirberich | and anyone could take the code and redistribute it for free on the market |
22:07.12 | d0netsFN | maybe we can split it between everyone involved, and him |
22:07.29 | michaelnovakjr__ | plus if you don't like it or want to add something, at least i give you the source code |
22:07.45 | Disconnect | techincally you have to give it only to people who buy the app. |
22:07.59 | kirberich | Disconnect: true, but they then can give it to everyone |

22:25.09 | ttuttle | kirberich: Google-accounts linked notepad and RSS reader apps. |
22:25.19 | luok | what ttuttle said |
22:25.30 | kirberich | i'm not really that into geocaching. What I'd love to have in that area though is a program that tracks my gps position and puts it on a google maps thingy |
22:25.35 | Nafai | Yeah, I agree with ttuttle |
22:25.40 | kirberich | ttuttle: yeah that seems missable. |
22:25.46 | ttuttle | kirberich: Also a Facebook client, as the mobile website doesn't let me login and the desktop one is horribly JavaScript heavy. |
22:26.09 | luok | and a notification customizer that lets you set up different types of repeating alerts for different types of notifications |
22:26.18 | ttuttle | kirberich: Also an AIM client that doesn't require a proxy, and an IRC client. |
22:26.42 | ttuttle | kirberich: Oh, and a PDF/word/excel viewer. |
22:26.43 | kirberich | http://countercultured.net/ircbeta.apk <- for the latter. |

23:02.32 | JesusFreke | infobot: devphone |
23:02.40 | JesusFreke | infobot: devphones |
23:02.40 | infobot | from memory, devphones is a phone with magical powers and will make all your wildest dreams come true. You can read about them here: http://code.google.com/android/dev-devices.html - in order to buy one, you have to pay a $25 to be in the "developer club" and then you can get into the back room where they keep them behind a curtain of lava. very expensive to ship outside the US, or sporting this: http://tinyurl.com/54sxg2 |
23:02.55 | JesusFreke | follow the link there, then pay $25 to sign up for android market |

23:03.49 | morrildl | FWIW, the "shipping charges" are no such thing: in fact they are (or at least include) customs fees |
23:04.00 | morrildl | I found this out earlier today |
23:04.14 | morrildl | so the high shipping charges for international folks are generally attributable to customs fees |
23:04.28 | morrildl | the site does not really make this clear, and we've asked them to tweak it |
23:05.09 | JesusFreke | You also have to pay tax in the US. Not sure if its everywhere, but at least in Tx |
23:06.10 | JesusFreke | got mine ordered, btw :) |
23:06.40 | JesusFreke | morrildl, do you know if they'll be shipping soonish? Or is it gonna be a long wait? |
23:06.54 | JesusFreke | I don't mind either way, but I would just prefer to know if I'll have to wait |
23:07.39 | alexissoft | hmm ... |
23:08.15 | ITechJunkie | Hey Jasta, how do i get the setup prompt to display again? |
23:08.33 | JesusFreke | itechjunkie, run gconf-editor |
23:08.33 | d0netsFN | hey wait do these dev devices come from tmobile or what |
23:08.39 | JesusFreke | and go to apps/five |
23:08.46 | JesusFreke | and turn off the "setup" option |
23:08.54 | d0netsFN | i called tmo today cause my button backlights are stuck on |
23:08.58 | d0netsFN | so they are sending me a new one |
23:09.01 | alexissoft | the dev g1 have gps like the G1 ? (this is not present on the website) |
23:09.04 | d0netsFN | could i pay the 25$ and just get a dev one? |

23:10.13 | ITechJunkie | Is there a way to enable multipe watch folders? |
23:11.59 | JesusFreke | You can try to add them in the other option in gconf-editor |
23:12.19 | JesusFreke | I'm not sure how well it works though |
23:12.35 | JesusFreke | otherwise, just make a dummy folder and do symlinks :) |
23:13.03 | ITechJunkie | JesusFreke: yeah, creating a link sounds way easier :) |
23:13.10 | ITechJunkie | I don't wanna messup anything |

23:26.42 | d0netsFN | right my question is |
23:26.49 | d0netsFN | that link, where is it |
23:26.58 | JesusFreke | it's some other company actually |
23:26.59 | d0netsFN | i mean, is it a google. link |
23:27.02 | d0netsFN | or sears |
23:27.06 | d0netsFN | maceys |
23:27.13 | chrisr | Does anyone know how I can sort this java problem : "Compliance level '1.4' is incompatible with target level '1.5'. A compliance level '1.5' or better is required" ? |
23:27.16 | JesusFreke | brightstarcorp |
23:27.33 | JesusFreke | it's like google.brightstarcorp.com or something like that |
23:27.39 | JesusFreke | definitely not tmob at least |
23:28.04 | d0netsFN | ok thats what i was asking |
23:28.07 | JesusFreke | http://android.brightstarcorp.com/ |
23:28.24 | JesusFreke | (just out of curiosity, what happens when you go there?) |
23:28.32 | JesusFreke | without regestering for the market |
23:28.51 | JesusFreke | probably just get redirected.. |
23:28.55 | d0netsFN | it redirects me to the 25$ market fee |
23:28.56 | ITechJunkie | it redirects you back to market.android |
23:29.04 | JesusFreke | gotcha. figured :) |
23:29.07 | morrildl | alexissoft: yes, the devphone has GPS |
23:29.20 | JesusFreke | morrildl, great. good to know :) |
23:29.24 | morrildl | JesusFreke: AFAIK they should ship right away, modulo business hours |
23:29.25 | d0netsFN | is it the same batter : / |
23:29.33 | d0netsFN | battery |
23:29.34 | JesusFreke | morrildl, great! :) |
23:29.38 | JesusFreke | thanks :) |

23:30.39 | JesusFreke | :D |
23:31.43 | alexissoft | morrildl: thanks |
23:31.59 | chrisr | is everyone on here an android developer? |
23:32.08 | d0netsFN | i doubt it |
23:32.16 | offby1 | Not I. |
23:32.17 | d0netsFN | i mean im not really a dev |
23:32.19 | offby1 | I am but a slacker. |
23:32.23 | d0netsFN | but im trying to port an app |
23:32.29 | JesusFreke | I wasn't, until I bought the dev phone. |
23:32.31 | RyeBrye | morrildl: for those of us who might want to jump back between the OSS build and the one that ships with the phone (with the proprietary stuff like Youtube / market) - will there be a place to download a complete image of the Dev phone to restore to? |

23:35.01 | chrisr | anyone any ideas? |
23:35.44 | morrildl | RyeBrye: we intend that there is, yes. We are trying to work out with HTC where to host the actual build |
23:35.57 | morrildl | RyeBrye: but currently there isn't one |
23:35.58 | *** join/#android RyeBrye_ (n=RyeBrye@108.248.sfcn.org) |
23:36.08 | RyeBrye | morrildl: fair enough, just double checking :) |
23:36.15 | RyeBrye | morrildl: I'll host it for you, just DCC it to me ;) |
23:36.27 | morrildl | heh :) |
23:36.35 | blau-MikeDG | im holding off on buying the devphone |
23:36.43 | blau-MikeDG | until i can find a build with youtube, market, etc... |
23:37.35 | RyeBrye | blau-MikeDG: it ships with those things - so like I was pestering morrildl - having a restore is at least a good start |
23:38.03 | RyeBrye | blau-MikeDG: obviously the upgrade path for that will also need to be defined somehow - since we can't exactly build YouTube 2.0 from source - they'll have to provide some way to get it out to dev phone users |
23:38.18 | JesusFreke | or just steal it from G1 builds ;) |
23:38.50 | blau-MikeDG | rye: it ships with them, so does that mean i can pull them off my build and just drop them in? |
23:38.59 | blau-MikeDG | when i put my own build on? |
23:39.12 | JesusFreke | blau: probably |
23:39.23 | RyeBrye | well... I think you can just pull the apks and resign them - but I don't know the official way of doing this |

23:39.44 | JesusFreke | that's what I did with some of the apps that I included in the newest modified RC8 update |
23:39.46 | blau-MikeDG | ok, ill just wait till someone confirms |
23:39.57 | blau-MikeDG | sounds good though |
23:40.02 | JesusFreke | just took them from RC30 and dumped them in the /system/app folder.. |
23:40.23 | blau-MikeDG | glad to see this working out |
23:40.32 | blau-MikeDG | go google |

23:42.57 | [nine] | anyone tried copying the amazon mp3 apk from a us build to a uk phone and seen if it works? |
23:44.21 | blau-MikeDG | bug or feature, even if you have vibrate for ringing turned off and and set the profile to vibrate, the phone still vibrates |
23:44.24 | [nine] | probably won't work, as the amazon account used for purchasing needs a us registered credit card, but you never know if there's been any sloppy programming with the checks. |
23:44.37 | [nine] | blau-MikeDG: feature. |
23:44.47 | [nine] | i didn't find the vibrate mode until about a week ago. |
23:44.59 | [nine] | i kept on holding power and selecting silent mode. |
23:45.12 | [nine] | then wondered why it didn't vibrate. |
23:45.28 | blau-MikeDG | grr i dont like it |
23:46.17 | _avatar | [nine]: the US amazon mp3 apk won't let you purchase in the UK |
