(I don't have a windows box at home anymore, and the linux tools for FR never worked right for me...) I hear it's almost working as a reliable phone now... But then I heard that from some people the whole time, and mine was never good at keeping a GSM signal, yet alone handling calls or text. :P

You need to be careful with these, they do not work as expected, which relates to the previous post also. Basically modrana just does a plain substitution, not whole words. I.e. if you have

Code:

St;Street

this is wrong as then for instance "Park Street" will be read as "Park Street reet"
so maybe it should be:

Code:

St ;Street

BTW, the new version is MUCH slower in loading the individual tiles for display, must be doing some caching or what-have-you, but now there is a noticeable lag, and the "Loading..." text showed for about a second or so, with every tile upon first display, then when it's redisplayed, i.e. zoomed out and back in, it's instantaneous, but it used to be instantaneous before...

Anyhow, I backed up the .maps folder, then created a new empty one, and am now downloading maps for a 80 km area around a point.

It's been going on without errors for some time now, now at 39 thousand out of 360 thou...

In XXX meters turn right on XXX Street reet slash emphasis

I.e. the "Street reet" part was because of the St; substitution, but pronouncing the "slash emphasis" seems like it's reading a </emphasis> tag...

It doesn't do it all the time though, so not sure if only when it's ending in "Street"...

One thing of note was placing an entry in /etc/powervr.d/ for the program to "increase it's GL command buffer". I'm not sure how this is done though. Thought maybe you'd have and idea?

It fails since there's dirnames with spaces in this dir, if you've downloaded some files, and the busybox `chmod -R' doesn't cope with these it seems...

Modrana won't start at all now. I have only tried out setting buttons and have not tried to reinstall or other installs. I'm quite ignorant of the technique so I have no real clue.

Start in Xterminal shows the following

Code:

~ $ modrana
 == modRana Starting == 
 device string (first parameter): n900 
importing modules:
 * menu: Handle menus (30.00 ms)
 * example: A sample pyroute module (10.00 ms)
 * clickHandler: handle mouse clicks (10.00 ms)
 * waypoints: Lookup nearest town or village (80.00 ms)
 * messages: Handles messages (120.00 ms)
 * onlineServices: Module for communication with various online services. (170.00 ms)
 * mapView: Controls the view being displayed on the map (0.00 ms)
 * display: A platform independent display device control module (0.00 ms)
 * icons: Draw icons (10.00 ms)
 * log: A modRana logging module (0.00 ms)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "modrana.py", line 476, in <module>
    program = GuiBase(device)
  File "modrana.py", line 411, in __init__
    self.mapWidget = MapWidget()
  File "modrana.py", line 85, in __init__
    self.loadModules('modules') # name of the folder with modules
  File "modrana.py", line 106, in loadModules
    self.m[name] = a.getModule(self.m,self.d)
  File "/opt/modrana/modules/mod_options.py", line 25, in getModule
    return(options(m,d))
  File "/opt/modrana/modules/mod_options.py", line 33, in __init__
    self.load()
  File "/opt/modrana/modules/mod_options.py", line 369, in load
    newData = marshal.load(f)
EOFError: EOF read where object expected
~ $

Would it help to uninstall or sth? Or can some1 provide info on a detail?

I'm not experiencing other big failures other than some widgets falling out. I have toggled 3G/GSM while running Modrana by the way

<edit> I have tried reinstall (OTA). Xterminal session of modRana still shows the above. I can safely say that I left mod_options.py untouched, so far as I made no textual alterations whatsoever.

I miss this app with its k i c k a s s tiles, could anyone help restoring this modRana 0.20-3?
