Hi,

An update to the OS 2007 / 770 hacker edition is now available for download at http://maemo.org/downloads/os2007_hacker_edition.php.

The main news is that sound is now working including media and system sounds.

Video works to some extent, though not the sample clip that comes with the image which is intended for the N800.

VOIP calls work too.

This time it’s a fiasco image. You can flash it in the same way as official releases.

This is described in Markku’s notes (http://maemo.org/maemowiki/Os2007On770) which are up-to-date with the latest developments.

There are still many glitches here and there, instability and performance problems, but with media capabilities this image is much more attractive.

Help is appreciated. Markku’s notes are open to contributions. Additions and corrections are welcome, including suggestions for addressing the remaining issues.

Problem reports specific to this release are welcome as well and should go to this Garage project (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/os2007on770).
Not to the Maemo bugzilla and definitely not to any Nokia support. There is no official support for this.

Finally, patches are most welcome, preferably attached to the Garage project's (https://garage.maemo.org/projects/os2007on770) tracker.

Enjoy,
Carlos

Might be time to start testing... :)

Well I've installed it on my 770 and so far it's looking very good!

I haven't tested much, but the browser (which obviously hasn't been updated) seems to be working fine, control panel seems OK, the home page is as it should be.

The first problem I've hit is that it's not possible to stream from AccuRadio HitKast - the error is "File format not supported" (have reported this in Garage).

No crashes so far! :)

EDIT: Hmmm, looks like MP3 codec won't be shipped in the OS 2007 on 770 firmware - according to the end of Markku's Wiki log:

Things that cannot be shipped to 770 users

These things in OS 2007 are not licensed for 770 and cannot be shipped to 770 users. Therefore they are taken out of the image:

New browser engine
Feature MP3 codec, mobile phones - this is a DSP codec - according to Makoto and Andrea it is however the same as in the 770...
Feature MPEG4 visual encoder - this is a DSP codec that has to be removed - it's packaged as gstreamer-hantro or something

I tried OS2007 on N770 too and I am seriously impressed.

It works and gave new life to my N770. So far everything I use (browser, media player, internet radio applet, osso-xterm) works fine. Even the browser (still old opera) has newer (IMO much better) interface and networking/browsing seems to be a bit faster to me. My webmail took long time from login to inbox in OS2006 (probably due to lot of redirects) but is as quick with OS2007 as on my N800 :-)

And what is also nice - you can dualboot between OS2006 and 2007 to have best of both worlds. Of course until OS2007 is better supported by applications because then OS2006 will be obsolete.

BTW if you have latest OS2006 and bootmenu installed you can just extract rootfs.jffs2 from FIASCO image and flash just this and do not lose bootmenu.

Yes OS2007 on N770 is unsupported but what does support mean exactly in this case? Are your favourite OS2006 bugs fixed? :-)

Milhouse

03-02-2007, 09:52 AM

I agree fanoush - it works suprisingly well. In fact, so well it would be nice to think it might even be worthy of ongoing/official support (something pink just floated past my window...)

I have the latest 2006OS and boot from MMC (using Sebastian's Howto).
How does one get from there to dual-booting between 2006 and 2007 ?...
TIA

You will need to flash OS 2007 on the 770 then copy it to the MMC card. Having done that you then need to reflash with OS 2006. You should now be in a situation where you have OS 2006 on your internal flash and OS 2007 on your MMC card.

As fanoush says, flash only rootfs from each OS image to avoid losing your existing initfs.

fanoush

03-02-2007, 01:27 PM

If you do not want to lose OS2006 in flash you can backup it first via mkfs.jffs2 (when booted from mmc) as mentioned here http://www.internettablettalk.com/forums/showpost.php?p=33348&postcount=31 , then reflash with OS2007 rootfs, clone it to mmc (if you have some spare partition on mmc) and reflash again with previous OS2006 backup. Sadly extracting jffs2 image directly to mmc is not that easy.

Thanks to both for the pointers. First I'll need a bigger MMC though, 1 gig is not going to cut it for all that :-)

I tried the Hacker Edition and it look very good and it feels much faster than OS 2006.
The question is only what I can install on it. I was not able to install the enhanced osso-xterm because liaux0 was missing. This lib was not needed for the OS 2006. I tried offline since I have no wlan at home.

Enhanced xterm worked fine for me with OS 2007/770 - did you install from the Bora repository? It was the first app that I installed so should install without a problem on a freshly flashed device.

03-08-2007, 11:09 AM

Would someone with OS2007on770 mind testing Maemo Mapper to see if it works in that environment? I imagine you have to install it from the bora repository (as opposed to the gregale repo)... Just knowing that it installs and starts up (with a blank screen) is fine. Map downloading and bluetooth GPS receiver communication would be a bonus, if possible.

Thank you in advance.

03-08-2007, 01:39 PM

gnuite,
Thank you for your masterpiece and I’m really surprised that you are still interested in such “rare species” as OS2007on770.

Mapper was the third application installed on OS2007on770 (after becomeroot and xterm). Installation for 1.4.2-5 went fine and everything but “second bonus” works OK. (I’ve tested map downloading for Googlemap only).

Unfortunately maemo-mapper is exited with “Invalid instruction” error in the following cases:
- successful connect to BT-GPS;
- load stored track or route;

Sorry, did not test much further, because looks like it is FPU instruction caused application exit.

Just to make sure before trying. I now have boot menu on latest 2006, with latest 2006 on MC. Can I simply flash 2007 hacker edition, install boot menu, and start 2007 on internal flash and, if needed, 2006 OS from MC?
Yes, you can. Or you can just extract rootfs from .bin image and flash it via linux flasher. When done like this you don't even lose the menu.

and found a fix, see the URL, hopefully it seems to be configuration issue (if pcm2 is not needed for something else)

replying to myself...

I tried building maemo mapper with debug enabled to investigate this, but the version i built never crashed!

So I rebuilt with debug back off and it keeps on working! Not a single crash so far (in about 2 weeks of usage) which is much better than on the same version of MM on 2006! On 2006 I used to get a crash on pretty much every long journey I took.

So yet another reason 2007on770 is much better than 2006 for me!

Thank you for that tip to get sdl pcm working. It is as follows:

As root, edit /usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf and replace both occurrences of "pcm3" by "pcm2".

The only other problem i've found so far is that my Thinkoutside Stowaway BT keyboard refuses to pair with it.

I open control panel -> bluetooth

I select "New". "Select a device" panel comes up.

I hold down CTRL-FN-FN a couple of seconds and it finds Think Outside Keyboard.

I click on the think Outside Keyboard item in the 'Select a device' list

"Pair with device" menu comes up and gives a code to enter, and trusted device is checked

I click OK

'Pairing' status window comes up.

I enter the 4-Digit code number and wait: in various tries I get either an error "Pairing failed. Device resources exceeded. Try again? or Authentication failed.

(edit) just tried it again and found i have to hit the Enter (Return) key after entering the code number. Sheesh :) PBCAK

------

The UI is so much slicker. From an audio designer standpoint the clicking sound when you touch the screen is a sharp sound like hitting a nice hard crystal, instead of a piece of cardboard. Funny how these associations colour the feel of the device. Also the dark theme is way cool. Loving it :)

I'm getting the "Illegal instruction" on connecting to the gps. Does anyone have any more insight on this? If the version of MM you built works, can I try a copy of it?

Thanks!

Just in case somebody missed it, to enable internet radio streams:

https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=496&group_id=164&atid=681

OK- I can't seem to make radio streaming work on OS2007 HE for N770.

I installed X-Term, and issue the following command:
gconftool-2 --set /apps/osso/osso_media_server/demux_audio/a
pplication_x-icy --type list --list-type string
'[application/x-icy,icydemux]'

...that gives multiple errors, so I try to break it up:

gconftool-2
...works

set /apps/osso/osso_media_server/demux_audio/a
pplication_x-icy
...works

but then the "type list" command gives an error,
and I still get a "file format not supported" error when trying to stream radio.

Any help would be appreciated...I can't be the only one who has failed to make this little hack work, can I?

dcarter

07-05-2007, 04:19 AM

It is one command so you should type it on single line like this

Hi,

I managed to find the solution for OS2007 Hacker edition problem with maemo mapper(GPS problem).
There are to possible reasons for this problem

Binary is compiled against N800, which possible has additional CPU instructions, or possible changed format of the existing instructions.
Or, the problem is related to kernel which is old version (from 2006), and the application( built against 2007) simple fails because of some function call incompatibilities.
Any other reason

In any case, here are the instructions.

Uninstall existing maemo mapper
Start xterm
sudo gainroot
apt-get install libsqlite3-0
(you need to answer with 'y')
next, download latest maemo mapper for OS 2006 (no error 2006!) from garage repository
dpkg -i maemo-mapper_1.4.7-2_amrel.deb

If you followed instructions you've got the working maemo mapper on hacker edition mk2.

Please, be advised that wherever you install the newer version of the maemo mapper, you might need to repeat the procedure.

Cheers,

Momcilo

I tried your instructions, but I got the following error:

Package libxau0 in not installed.

Any ideas?

Edit: apparently all I needed was to add this repository:

http://repository.maemo.org/ bora free

Of course when I go to download a bunch of maps at once or goto an address it crashes...

Texrat

07-10-2007, 04:57 PM

dpkg -i maemo-mapper_1.4.7-2_amrel.deb

Not trying just to nitpick, but shouldn't that be armel? some people may not know to correct it.

D.

Poulsone replied to your question, did it fix things?

I also had trouble with the "libosso-help0 >=2.0.8 is needed" error message. Just fixed it with the help from Poulsone's answer to you.

Here's how I did it:

I had this problem too. If I remember correctly, I solved it by adding a bunch of repositories. I'm not sure which one provided the needed package. My /etc/apt/sources.list is:

#maemo:name Maemo.org
deb http://repository.maemo.org bora free non-free extras
.

This is the repository that is needed to get libosso-help0 onto the N800.

It can be added by, on the desktop, going to "Application Manager", hitting the hard-key menu button, then "Tools", the "Application Catalogue...", then "New", then enter the following information:

Catalogue name: Maemo.org
Web address: http://repository.maemo.org
Distribution: bora
Components: free non-free extras
and leave Disabled Unchecked.

Then "OK"

After going through those steps I was able to get MaemoMapper to upgrade without the "libosso-help0" error message.

Brand new newbie here.... Just installed OS 2007 HE on my 770 and it is amazing. All who worked on this deserve a pat on the back. Everything is working quite well except for videos. I'm having big problems with the audio and video getting out of sync.

Can anyone recommend appropriate encoder settings for the Media Converter for AVI's? Or is there some other hack/tweak? I've tinkered with the settings and can't seem to find any that work effectively. Most of them (except on the very high quality settings, which isn't surprising with the N770 hardware) play with both audio and video and quite smoothly, but they are annoyingly never in sync.

Any advice, other than going back to OS2006?

Frankman- Do you use Windows; If so go to Nokia's 770 webpage and download the "Internet Tablet Update Wizard" & Install; Google the "IT2007HE" OS find it and download it (OK you must enter some info about 770 first); Run the software from Nokia; Turn off your 770,plug in the USB, then hold the home key on the 770 down, your then see a USB thingy in the top of your screen the Wizard will pick up a 770; NEXT; Changed the update file with the downloaded 2007HE file and then update-
Ah a 770 running IT2007HE.

OK,
I have now flashed the Nokia 770 to HE version. However, when I go to places like the Tableteer site, it thinks I am a Nokia 800.

From now on, do i install the 700 version of software or the 800 version and hope it works?

Thanks for the feedback.

08-03-2007, 02:45 PM

Depends but on the whole I'd suggest N800/OS 2007 based software.

Thanks for that quick input. I started playing with this release and quickly found that I kept getting the missing libaux0 error I have seen referenced elsewhere.

I followed the Red Pill/Blue Pill process and was able to install it.

However, I am a somewhat technical Windows user and the level of complexity built into this process is incredible. My hat is off to you Linux developers.

I am also unable to run the music stream due to an invalid format and now I cannot copy music to my library. That option is grayed out. With IS2006 I was able to take music off of my MMC card and have the player link to it. However, that seems to be gone.

What is the date of the latest HE2007? I downloaded the version from the Nokia site but it is dated February 2007.

Thanks for your time.

How big are the files you're trying to play? I've found that the 400mb type of DiVX and other files just will not play for me... after going through the other media converters and pulling the video size slightly down from the native 800x480 of the screen to something smaller - read this article (http://maemo.org/community/wiki/VideoEncoding)... it saved me a few headaches.

also, ask the members here. the collection of knowledge here is incredible... and I'm still just a n00b learning.

hope that helps you a bit. and good luck.

The converter works extremely well for me, so long as I stick with the 2006 OS. Great success converting various rips of my favorite shows.

However, when I tried 2007HE, the audio and video won't stay synced, and videos quickly become unwatchable. These are the same videos that worked flawlessly with the latest OS 2006. I've tinkered with all sorts of the settings in media converter, but can't find any settings that work with 2007HE.

All my vids have been <7mb and it also happens when trying to watch video feeds, i.e. from BBC news website - works ok on OS2006 - Upgrade to 2007HE and - nothing! Tried canola, mplayer etc. most of my vids work with N770, but not when I upgrade to OS2007. Much prefer the 2007 interface, but seems to be a little buggy! Can't complain as whoever develops it is doing a FAB job!! The only issue I had reall was the video playack.
p.s. thanks for the link to the article - some great info here!

OS 2007 on N800 has Flash 9.

Unless Nokia have negotiated a new licence with Adobe, OS 2007 HE on 770 will almost certainly not have Flash 9 and will continue to use Flash 6.

Even if Flash 9 came to the 770, youtube would suck due to the lack of horsepower.

I've been doing a little more digging and found that even the Flash9-capable OS2007 of the N800 can't play YouTube videos at a reasonable framerate... So much for Flash9 :D

On my N770 with OS2007HE, Youtube videos do load, whereas in OS2006 they report straight away I dont have the right version, however it gets choppy sound and maybe the odd frame of picture, it then makes the N770 crawl to a halt and normally crashes the browser.... not quite there yet!

Hmm, I fail to see any advantage to using 2007HE over the official latest 2006 release. Quite on the contrary: 2006 actually seems better (less problems). I mean, what do you really GAIN by going to 2007HE on a Nokia 770?

Great instructions, just what I needed. Did a google search for it2007he and did not find a direct download for the 2007HE. Can someone direct me to the link where I can find it? Very much appreciated, thanks.

Look at page 1 of this thread.

One last question, following the instructions The new OS will replace the old one. 2006 will be deleted? I do not need it. Thxs again.

No problem. Happy to help.

I really liked 2007HE on my N770, but eventually returned to 2006. I like the 'disconnect on cover' feature of 2006, which doesn't exist in 2007HE. But the biggest problem for me was that I just couldn't figure out how to convert videos so that the audio and video stayed in sync, and thus the video player became useless to me on 2007HE. Tried every combination of output types in Media Converter too, with no success. :(

From memory....

Pros:

The web browser was just a hair faster. It seemed to render things just a bit more quickly than 2006. Not drastic, but better.
The web browser was more stable. I'd say about one out of every 40 links that I click will cause the web browser to crash in 2006, seemingly for no reason as I can reopen the browser and head back to where I was with no problem. Also, occasionally and randomly links will just stop working in 2006, and I have to refresh the page. Didn't experience any of that with 2007HE.
Email was definitely faster. Individual emails would open more quickly. Still no IMAP folders, which I thought *was* a feature of the new email app. NBD.
I liked the bluetooth status indicator.
I definitely liked the integration of the Audio and Video players into just the 'Media Player'. Made more sense to me. The Media Player itelf had a better interface.
The layout of the control panel was cleaner and organized more effectively.
I liked the overall color scheme better, especially the black keyboard.
Ability to resize the widgets on the home screen with 2007HE.

Cons:

Audio/Video sync. The showstopper for me. Watching videos is one of the core things that I like to do with my N770. Neither the built in player nor MPlayer seemed to be able to keep the audio and video in sync. A big bummer, because I'd happily return to 2007HE if there was a fix for this...
Application compatibility. I'm a total linux noob, but I had a few problems with repositories not working correctly or at all with 2007HE. Lots of missing file problems. Usually 10-15 minutes of hunting here or on the Maemo boards would yield a solution, but it was a bit of a hassle each time. The 'no streaming audio' is a prime example. It was an easy hack once I found the right syntax, and downloaded xterm and becomeroot. But the point was that you've got to invest the time and energy to learn how to solve these little problems.
Sound. Several games' sound wouldn't work on 2007HE. Not a big deal, but it was a dissapointment.
No support for the cover. I like the fact that the N770 'hibernates' when the cover is on. No such support with 2007HE, as I'd have to manually disconnect.

One last question- went to site and downloaded software updater. Looks like it will install 2006 OS. It doesn't lok like the Internet Tablet Update Wizard that was mentioned in the instructions. Is this the link?
