No hardware accelerated graphics yet... which makes the performance all that much more impressive. It's going to be awesome when it leverages the graphics chip.

Okay dj_steve,

Are you able to buy a new/better internet connection?
And I believe you said something about ruining your speaker on your N900?

So thats something you need money for, is there anything else you feel you need money for to develop Android for the N900 faster? like Coffe, or pizza to persuade good programming friends to come help you?

Please tell us if there is something you need and I just saw that you have a link for donating in your signature, but if there is something you need and can quantify (im not asking you to beg, but just state what we are able to help you with money for development)

Thanks

internets out of question because of where i live (max i can get is this crap 2.5mb down/800kbps up)

basicly what i need help with currently is getting info /help from nokia devs oin how maemo interfaces with phonet and if theirs any way to bypass said and access modem directly via a serial interface.

no i said the speaker system i used to demo the bluetooth audio on n8x0 has decided the bluetooth recieve on it doesnt want to work now for some reason hence i cant test the bluetooth on nitdroid n900 except to say it detects my other phone.

tho having said the mention of money as some of you know currently im building the entire os on a single core pc thats not exactly the fastest (~4-6hours for android build from scratch) so probably only thing that id really find useful at min would be that upgrade (other than the motivation it gives me to actualyl see people wanting this to happen.. ok mega post no 2 finished lol

indeed, especially considering android 2.x base system relies heavily on opengles also.

as i said i have a new 2.6.29 based kernel to test (actually built off the offical android tree kernel) to test tomorrow

I like your mega posts, their not exactly walls of text to people with the attention span of more than a 7 year old. So you would like money for a new CPU or a computer?

Have you looked at pnatd re the phone subsystem? It provides an AT interface... Maybe it would be possible to use psuedo-ttys and pnatd to emulate a normal serial-type modem?

EDIT: It seems pnatd can already do this:
Code:
Nokia-N900:~# pnatd --help
pnatd: invalid option -- -
Usage: pnatd [/dev/<tty_device_name> | -p] [-r]
Open a TTY line and handle AT commands from it using Phonet.
 -h  print this help and exit
 -p  create a pseudo-terminal instead of opening an existing terminal
 -r  restart whenever the terminal is hung up (until fatal error)
 -V  print version informations and exit

Well, if you run this command:
Code:
Nokia-N900:~# pnatd -p
/dev/pts/2
It outputs the name of the psuedo-terminal that it runs on... You can ln -s this to another device:

Code:
Nokia-N900:~# ln -s /dev/pts/2 /dev/modem
And then it can be accessed as if it were a bog standard serial device:

Code:
Nokia-N900:~# screen /dev/modem

AT
OK

ATDT100;
OK

<number is dialed>
