2016-06-22 02:19:40 @kido hi gh16ito 2016-06-22 02:20:27 gh16ito o/ 2016-06-22 02:21:18 @kido interested in asteroid? :D 2016-06-22 02:21:54 gh16ito Been thinking about getting a smartwatch. I was looking at Pebble but they're locked down, doesn't seem like there's a root, plus they have a propietary charger. 2016-06-22 02:22:17 @kido indeed, you can't hack much with the pebble 2016-06-22 02:22:23 gh16ito I dunno if I can do an LCD watch, though. 2016-06-22 02:22:33 @kido although their bluetooth protocol is open 2016-06-22 02:22:51 gh16ito My understanding is they keep the battery from dying with a "shake-and-wake" type thing. 2016-06-22 02:24:01 gh16ito I'd rather have an always-on solution. Really hard to know whether that sort of thing would work without actually trying one. 2016-06-22 02:24:40 @kido indeed, it eats the battery pretty quickly 2016-06-22 02:26:30 gh16ito Asteroid is a bottom-up OS, or is it a flavor of Android? 2016-06-22 02:27:53 @kido it's definitely not a flavor of android but it reuses some drivers from android 2016-06-22 02:28:16 gh16ito That's nice. 2016-06-22 02:28:23 @kido so there is a minimal /system/ directory from android which ships the drivers, the rest is a more or less standard embedded GNU/Linux system 2016-06-22 02:28:35 @kido it's much closer to SailfishOS than android 2016-06-22 02:29:06 @kido be careful it's still in development though, this is not really usable on a daily basis 2016-06-22 02:29:07 gh16ito Well, for now I don't think I can deal with a non-e-ink screen and I don't think I'm going to be buying a locked down watch, so I guess I'm SOL. 2016-06-22 02:29:15 gh16ito Been looking for a good watch - smart or otherwise - for YEARS. 2016-06-22 02:29:24 gh16ito Guess a few more years couldn't hurt. 2016-06-22 02:29:26 @kido ahah yes I can understand :) 2016-06-22 02:29:45 @kido the products will probably mature 2016-06-22 02:30:10 gh16ito Yeah. If anyone brings out an e-ink Android device, it'll probably make hacking much easier. 2016-06-22 02:31:10 gh16ito OK, well, I'm off to do some other stuff. Best of luck with the project. I'll check in on it when there exists some good hardware to run it on ;) 2016-06-22 02:31:40 @kido cool, have a nice day and see you in some months/years! 2016-06-22 18:36:26 @kido hey Lrs121 2016-06-22 18:36:49 @kido what's up? 2016-06-22 18:37:07 Lrs121 no much at the moment 2016-06-22 18:37:22 @kido :) 2016-06-22 18:39:49 Lrs121 Ive run into an issue while trying to bitbake the asteroid image. The error is, libhybris was skipped: incompatible with machine sparrow. 2016-06-22 18:39:52 @kido I'm trying to bring a more "flat" UI to asteroid, what do you think http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1466538908.png I don't know what to think since it looks better than the current white background but might be a bit too flashy 2016-06-22 18:40:42 @kido in src/meta-asteroid/recipes-core/libhybris/libhybris_git.bbappend add COMPATIBLE_MACHINE_sparrow = "(^sparrow$)" at line 6 2016-06-22 18:40:49 @kido and it will build 2016-06-22 18:44:16 Lrs121 thank you. I do like a more flat design, it seems closer to flat paper like design Google recommends for android 2016-06-22 18:44:33 Lrs121 making it more consisant across platforms 2016-06-22 18:45:39 @kido :) I try not to make it look to much like material design in order to stay a bit different from android wear 2016-06-22 18:45:53 @kido although I like their guidelines 2016-06-22 18:49:17 Lrs121 Makes sense, the uniqueness of asteroid is a good thing. 2016-06-22 18:50:52 @kido anyway, thanks for your opinion ! does hybris build with this new line ? 2016-06-22 18:53:23 Lrs121 Yes it made it through, its fetching binutils, glibc, openssl, etc. right now 2016-06-22 18:54:26 @kido good, tell me how it goes ! 2016-06-22 18:55:46 Asara woooo welcome Lrs121 2016-06-22 18:57:13 Lrs121 Hello Asara 2016-06-22 19:00:33 Asara how goes it? 2016-06-22 19:02:12 Asara kido: do you know anywhere you think i oculd get help with make_ext4fs? 2016-06-22 19:03:09 @kido Asara: mhh no, it's a tool from android. Maybe you could try to get a newer version of this tool from latest AOSP's repositories 2016-06-22 19:10:02 Asara so i've tried compiling it from a few different versions of AOSP 2016-06-22 19:10:11 Asara th problem is each version has differnt requirmeents as to wehre it is pulling files from 2016-06-22 19:10:16 Asara i.e. some things are in core, extras etc etc. 2016-06-22 19:10:19 Asara libsparse 2016-06-22 19:10:33 Asara but between versions there is no cohesive way of knowing what is required from where 2016-06-22 19:25:16 @kido yes that's the joy of the android's build system 2016-06-22 19:25:28 @kido it will make you love openembedded 2016-06-22 19:30:13 Lrs121 its the same for newer versions of adb and fastboot. 2016-06-22 19:31:35 Lrs121 kiddo: something occured to me, do i need to modify the init.rc in the device tree? 2016-06-22 19:33:42 @kido by device tree you mean meta-sparrow-hybris right? 2016-06-22 19:33:48 Lrs121 correct 2016-06-22 19:34:32 @kido https://github.com/Lrs121/meta-sparrow-hybris/blob/master/recipes-android/android-init/android-init/init.rc#L7 well you can comment the lines which change CPU and GPU freq 2016-06-22 19:34:47 @kido and low power mode too 2016-06-22 19:35:12 @kido it shouldn't be an issue but it will just allow you to change that as you want later 2016-06-22 19:35:19 @kido the rest is needed 2016-06-22 19:37:03 Lrs121 alright, ill look into it here soon 2016-06-22 20:25:22 Asara kido: I am going to have to give up on this ext4fs shit 2016-06-22 20:26:20 @kido I understand 2016-06-22 20:26:48 @kido anyway, there are other more exciting things to do 2016-06-22 20:28:20 Asara I guess 2016-06-22 22:02:06 Lrs121 looks like bitbake failed at the kernel. Ill check the defconfig but i wont be able to check what the real issue is till i get home and have an actual terminal window 2016-06-22 22:06:19 @kido ok send me the error once you get it, it's often a matter of a simple patch 2016-06-22 22:16:08 Lrs121 will do
