Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

Installing it from tarball kde style is not possible. Just reflash and do it apt-get way, worked perfect for me.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

Ok, I've found some things. New initfs in diablo has stuff for wimax tablet. There is libbb5 confirming some of my suspicions and a program called bb5-random. There is also now a bme-RX-48 which we understand to be the wimax tablet.

Ok, I can confirm diablo initfs is not compatible with N800.

I made a stripped down version of the initfs but my N800 keeps rebooting. Any hackers aka fanoush willing to take a look?...

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

BTW, I don't see a point in making a tarball or a deb with the Diablo - after all it will be out soon.

Why does it sound better to update it yourself...

Steps (as I understand it):

Remove any of
- modest
- powerlaunch
- spellchecker browser add-on
which is installed. (Modest is now default, you can try reinstalling powerlaunch and spellchecker when you're done.)
Edit the sources list as suggested here.
Follow mvo's instructions, summary:

Anyone who can't do that probably wouldn't succeed with a tarred rootfs, either.

I think these should be added too:
sudo gainroot
rm /usr/share/osso/images/initfs.jffs2
flash-and-reboot

This will give you the new kernel as I found out first at 12:30 AM :P :/

Here is my stripped down diablo initfs, it doesn't work so DONT flash it but it is the original with the crap removed so it fits in flash.
I attach it if someone wants to work on it. I don't have the time.

Anything new in this kernel? What version is it?

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

Still same version but it was compiled last month compared to the chinook one which was compiled in Dec.

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

I'm fine with everything but what is needed to fulfill this?: "in a shell that doesn’t die when the network goes down"

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

I think it just means make sure the network stays up otherwise you will get undownloaded packages. I didn't use the network to download my packages.

Meanwhile, here is another screenshot:

(if you are wondering, the only update atm is Map)

Re: What do we know about Diablo (Maemo 4.1) ?

MicroB and Modest are using maemo-invoker, so they should be starting faster.

I fixed my Modest problem - version 17 doesn't have any dependency problems, but doesn't even start for me, so i decompressed 19 and pasted directly on top of the other one. So now it works.

Downgraded RSS Reader Applet to the Navi version - still no option in 1.5.x for one liners.

Looks like the long-tap bug is fixed and also MicroB always reacts when i tap the back button. Anybody else to confirm these? (EDIT: tried with mtPaint, touchscreen feels much more responsive now)
