Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Way off-topic ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

new update seems to be working ok here.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Jepp, installed the new update, no problems sofar.
Whats the benefits with this update?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

It wipes out your memory card and fills your flash memory with bad sectors so that it won't be usable anymore...
Seriously, you don't check this kind on information BEFORE updating ? if not, then you should check the first post of this thread as Freemangordon said in his announcement post.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

My personal preference is to disable automatic updates on Windows, Linux, Sony TV.... just so that you can see what's included. This one changes sqlite, used for storing address book or sms (can't recall at the mo) so you should definately be backing up first.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

sqlite3 is used to store messages (sms,im,...) not for contacts.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Is this the newer sqlite version from marmistrz?
Or just the the "default" thumb and just thumb compiled?

Anyway didn't used his version but there were reports of that version being faster but I don't know if that was a placebo, these testers experienced.

Didn't update to latest thumb either...
Thanks anyway, the more thumb compiled the better it is :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

The stock version, just thumb-compiled. No matter "experimental" statement in the first post, usually I am reasonable guy and wouldn't risk cssu-thumb's users(more than 400 if merlin1991's stats are real) messaging DB too much :p.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

that's true.
Evolution Data Server is used for contacts, calendar and tasks.
Backend is EBookBackendFile.
about marmistrz's version of sqlite3:
using for a month or two with thumb (so had no thumb compiled sqlite3), no problems so far, seems to be faster in selects (e.g. loading contacts (perhaps, accounts related), messages).

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Well ofc I do backups before I update.
And to be honest Thumb2 havnt messd up my phone sofar, thats why I feel quite safe to be one of first to update.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

(AFAIK)Contacts uses Berkeley DB, which I plan for the next update, along with EDS and pulseaudio. But that won't happen until next week, I want to give the current version (of cssu-thumb) some time to prove it is stable.

about marmistrz's version of sqlite3:
It will come in cssu-thumb after (and if) it is included in CSSU-testing. Not that I am saying it is unstable, just don't see the rationale in putting it in cssu-thumb. The other option would be if someone make benchmarks and compare sqllite3 in cssu-thumb vs marmistrz's sqllite3 (compiled with the same toolchain as the other stuff in cssu-thumb, so there will be common ground) and the latter is faster.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

I got this error when running the cssu update script:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Version '21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1+thumb0' for 'mp-fremantle-community-pr' was not found

Should I edit the cssu-thumb-21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1\+thumb0.sh script and change this :
"apt-get install mp-fremantle-community-pr=21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1+thumb0"
to
"apt-get install mp-fremantle-community-pr=21.2011.38-1Tmaemo5.1+thumb3"
?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

yes.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Just a note of experience from a completely clean installation.

I updated directly from PR1.3.1 to cssu-thumb, and found hildon-desktop did not implement the advanced settings found in transitions.ini. To remedy this I had to downgrade to hildon-desktop_2.2.142-21_armel.deb as found in the cssu-testing repo, check that it was behaving as expected with blurless and two-column implemented, then apt-get upgrade hildon-desktop to return to version used by cssu-thumb with advanced settings implemented.

Other than that, no problems.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

AIUI that could happen if you have modified your transitions.ini. Though I agree if one wants some feedback from HAM.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

I know this question has already been asked but I can't find any answer: is there a way to reinstall the default camera-ui without otherwise affecting the cssu-thumb installation?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

possibly this won't work as smooth when your system still has mp-fremantle-community-pr installed, mine got nuked during some tweaking I did lately

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

I had the same problem. I wasn't really keen to look for a Windows machine to do that but, having read this thread and TFM on apt-get, I found a simple solution:

apt-get -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/apt-cache upgrade

It tells apt-get to use a specific folder for its cache for downloading and expanding packages. By default this is in rootfs. The upgrade needed about 48MB in my case and I simply did not have that much spare in rootfs.

I may have had an error or two (about directories not present) but those were pretty straightforward to sort out :) I am now running SCCU-Thumb at 850MHz and the device is snappier than ever.

Sorry if this has already been said; the thread is getting a bit long to keep up with every post.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

@ joerg_rw

Thanks, I tried but in my case it removes mp-fremantle-community-pr as well, so no good... Is there a way to force it to downgrade camera-ui without removing mp-fremantle-community-pr? Or to reinstall mp-fremantle-community-pr without automatically installing camera-ui2?

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

It is not.
Your advice is useless.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Unless someone has less than these 48 mb of free space on /opt, which is also possible - then using cache on MyDocs may help ;) By the way, 48mb on rootfs required for update - that would be insane :eek:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

well, you maybe could simply copy the needed binary and symlink to the system:


lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 22 2012-10-07 16:16 /usr/bin/camera-ui -> /usr/bin/maemo-invoker

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 278852 2010-07-27 10:29 /usr/bin/camera-ui.launch

wget http://maemo.cloud-7.de/maemo5/usr/s...mera-ui.launch

/j

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Hmm...
I stand corrected, thank you. I would not go as far as saying it was useless, though :) After all, it does solve the problem of HAL complaining. But it was hasty and incomplete. It looks like apt-get upgrade would have done without the redirection. It might be worth trying, although it's a bit late for me :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

That's correct.

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

And yet that's exactly the problem we seen with early maemo5 upgrades, like PR1.0 ->PR1.0.1 iirc

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Binary file replacement - as suggested - is one way, but You could also grab vanilla camera-ui package, unpack it, edit control files to mimic CSSU'ish camera-ui, and pack it again - installing such version should satisfy dependencies. While it's more elegant solution than just replacing binaries, it's still dirty hack, and You will need to redo it with every update of CSSU's camera-ui (to mimic next version).

May I ask, what made you (other than possible masochism) to go through all this pain, for getting vanilla camera-ui, instead of Nicolai's one?

/Estel

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

As far as I remember, the main purpose of one of the early updates (1.0->1.0.1 or 1.1->1.1.1) was to change some filesystem properties (compression?) to make bigger update (1.0.1->1.1 or 1.1.1->1.2) possible with less space available on device (please correct me if I'm wrong, it was >2 years ago, I can be wrong).

Wouldn't it be better to edit control files to mimic other package (so it won't get overwritten after each camera-ui update)? Or does Nicolai's camera-ui package replace some files used by stock camera-ui, so it would require making this operation everytime? (but it would still be easier - have this package as e.g. stock-camera-ui and just reinstall it after each camera-ui upgrade, so files would get overwritten again).

By the way, I feel highly offtopic right now ;)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look in to it.
The reason for wanting the stock camera-ui back is that the new one... well, it just doesn't seem to work very well at the moment. Random crashes, ui freezes up constantly, video recording will freeze in still image for long periods of time, overall it's much slower (launch, taking pictures, changing settings etc)... No disrespect to Nicolai or any of the dedicated people bringing improvements to the N900 ;)
And I guess this is beginning to go somewhat off topic, yeah... :p

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

thats funny...i use n900 camera a lot and with latest thumb update the only thing i can say about it is that it feels a lot faster...

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

Just installed the thumb2 cssu, and I have a big problem. The machine is stable and fast as hell, but I have no camera.

The stock camera program starts with the new features, but I see a blank black screen. When I press the camera button, it doesn't take any photo.
A Better Camera can't start (I already read about this bug - kernel problem, I try to solve this with the guide posted by freemangordon)
FCamera - "silver" blank screen, can't take pictures
classic cam and nokia panorama - also black screen...

If you can help me, it would be awesome, but if I can't fix it, I had reflash, I need the camera.
Thanks!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

it happened to me a lot of times.. what profile are u using..?? if u change the dsp values to your own it might happen this way.. try loading the default profile
(root
kernel-config load default
kernel-config default default)
and reboot your phone and try using the camera.. it might do the trick..

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

I don't know what profile i'm using, i guess it's the default. Never changed the dsp values. Using the code in xterm it said "kernel-config not found"
After that I've got a hint, that I should try to reinstall fcam drivers and it worked.

Unfortunately when I run "a better camera" it loads, but I get the message "you need to restart the device to finish the installation". After 3 restart, no change.

Real funny :rolleyes:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

OK, I give up, how do I do this? :confused:

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

ok if u had installed 720p videos by sir Freemangordon and follow the instructions as in this link

http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=949

otherwise install kernel-power settings(WARNING!!-IT OVERCLOCKS YOUR DEVICE) by typing
root
apt-get install kernel-power-settings
it loads dsp profile by default otherwise load it(kernel-config load dsp) and try using the camera..

guys, this is OT here, please :)

Re: [ANNOUNCE] CSSU-thumb thread - stable Thumb2 on N900
 

@freemangordon

is it correct that the package libqt4-dev of the thumb repo contains the qmake binary file for i386?

/usr/bin/qmake: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.0, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped

Some time ago i installed libqt4-dev-arm
from:

https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_...elease_id=4213

Do you think you could provide the same package?
