Smatkovii tried flashing kexecboot onto a droid4, but it doesn't show up on boot.11:37
Smatkovisafestrap i managed to install and i also could root it, but kexecboot not.11:38
Smatkovihas anyone tried maybe booting maemo with safestrap on a rom slot? or should kexecboot work?11:39
dsc_Smatkovi: kexecboot should work, what guide did you follow?11:52
Smatkovileste.maemo.org/motorola_droid_411:58
Smatkovioh or should i use usb2.0 instead of usb 3.0?12:00
Smatkoviokay that also didn't help. the bootloader doesn't have to be unlocked because it cannot be unlocked, right?12:22
dsc_not my area of expertise, I just ehm... followed the guide you linked12:27
dsc_https://leste.maemo.org/Motorola_Droid_412:27
dsc_with a MicroUSB cable and such :p12:27
Smatkovikexecboot should come up automatically? i also have a droid4 with a broken toucscreen and on that it also didn't show up12:30
dsc_yes, it should come up automatically12:32
dsc_during boot12:32
dsc_its a menu where you can choose from some entries12:32
dsc_during flashing, it should give you some output on the display?12:33
dsc_or in the terminal12:33
Smatkoviin terminal it says ok to sending and writing the 3 or 4 flies on the display i didn't see anything special13:07
uvosSmatkovi: what happens when you boot the device in its current state?13:48
Smatkoviit shows safestrap, i can interrupt and boot into safestrap recovery or let it continue to boot to android13:53
uvosthen you dident flash utags13:58
uvosor your utags binary is broken13:58
uvosyou need to flash this one: https://github.com/tmlind/droid4-kexecboot/blob/master/utags-xt894-16-mmcblk1p8-boots-mmcblk1p13-kexecboot.bin13:59
uvoscheck the sha256sum14:00
uvosit should be fd00df4f444bccd16f94e5be484e89dda7639dcc872862147d84896de34fc55a14:00
uvosboth the fastboot client in the terminal and fastboot bootloader on the divice display will aknowlage a sucessfull flash14:01
Smatkovi1yes that did it, thanks :)14:37
Smatkovi1now the gui disappeared, but i think i read here that current images are broken and i have to modify something14:38
siceloDroid 4 images should be fine. Only N900 needs rituals 🤪15:26
dsc_I have implemented delivery status in conversations15:44
dsc_for when a chat server communicates that a message was received in good order15:44
dsc_however, on xmpp for example, I am only receiving such delivery reports for groupchats15:45
sicelothanks so much. steady progress15:47
sicelosome day, please also implement Delete Chat. The menu is there, but the chat doesn't get deleted15:51
dsc_ok, will look15:54
dsc_this rtcom/tp combination is very complicated btw15:56
dsc_but I have already voiced this multiple times15:56
dsc_I am a contributor to the Godot game-engine, and that software is easier to grog :)15:57
dsc_tp/rtcom very painful software to deal with16:02
sicelo🤭16:49
dsc_disregard, I get a bit tilted :D16:50
dsc_sicelo: i fixed delete chats, will build new version16:50
siceloI might have to look into it (rtcom & friends) as well if I want to make a lite dialer for the N90016:51
dsc_sicelo: just over-engineered, I guess its fine when you have a large team of C devs17:33
dsc_normal programs write SQL queries, or use an ORM, with rtcom I have to 1) put a fence around it because its C/Glib and it clashes with Qt/C++ 2) move from C++ to C types and vice-versa 3) write 100 lines to make a simple query 4) get no detailed errors back when something is wrong17:37
dsc_then we have Tp, with dbus, so async communication over a message bus that is hard to debug and very verbose17:38
dsc_when there is an issue: maybe its Tp -> maybe its the chat server in question -> maybe its the connection manager -> maybe its conversations17:39
dsc_:D17:39
dsc_right now, trying to get the title of a chatroom in XMPP, dbus shows https://plak.infrapuin.nl/selif/czs47rnh.txt17:39
dsc_but, how to catch that with tp-qt? who knows.17:40
dsc_rtcom is from 2004-2005 I believe17:45
Wizzupdsc_ for this you look at the telepathyqt doc17:48
WizzupI'll send you a pointer17:48
dsc_thanks18:04
dsc_latest conversations is in stable and devel, it should work pretty OK18:35
siceloWizzup: have you sent the *telepathyqt yet? :-D20:11
* sicelo feeling silly20:11
dsc_sicelo: it was transmitted to me through frequencies beyond this realm; our git instance20:17
rdgnice to see dillo packaged for maemo, if you send me a picture/screenshot I'll be happy to add it to the gallery: https://dillo-browser.github.io/gallery/23:13
rdgyou may want to also try the mobilized fork which adapted the UI for phones (not affiliated): https://www.toomanyatoms.com/software/mobilized_dillo.html23:15
arno11rdg: hi23:28
arno11https://ibb.co/chGBFkZV23:29
arno11@mobilized fork, yeah we should try23:30
rdgarno11: that is soo cool, thanks!23:30
rdgyou can make the toolbar smaller in Tools > Panel size, or hide/show it with Esc23:31
rdgbut probably mobilized would be more usable23:31
arno11probably yeah23:33
rdgarno11: can I ask which device is dillo running on? I'll add it to the picture notes23:38
arno11this is N900 :)23:39
rdggreat, thanks!23:39
