Maxdaman1usHmm .. got another cmt-speech failure. This time I was able to hear the person on the other end but they couldn't hear me (rebooted to fix it)05:00
sicelo:-/05:01
Maxdaman1usThe syslog errors were different though.05:02
Maxdaman1usDec  8 16:06:54 orcus user.err pulseaudio[875]: voice-cmtspeech.c: cmtspeech_dl_buffer_release(0x385f8) failed return value -32.05:03
Maxdaman1us(when I had cmt-speech errors one time about half a year ago, I wasn't able to hear, not sure about the other end)05:04
Maxdaman1us(also, that last time the issue persisted across multiple phone calls I made, but today I just rebooted when the person I called said they couldn't hear me)05:05
siceloI wonder if it's hw or sw05:15
CatButtsI vaguely remember having Faster Application Manager before, but somebody telling me something negative about it, and me uninstalling it as a result10:47
CatButtsI am trying to remember what that caution was10:48

infobotmethinks hamvsfam is https://mg.pov.lt/maemo-irclog/%23maemo.2013-10-28.log.html#t2013-10-28T10:44:33, or http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=9322710:49

infobotextra, extra, read all about it, speedyham is 30 times faster than HAM https://github.com/community-ssu/hildon-application-manager, now included in ~CSSU replacing the original Hildon application Manager there10:49
CatButtsah, now it makes sense10:54
CatButtsshame, because I was liking fapman's interface10:54
KotCzarnywell10:54
KotCzarnyif you use apt-get install you might as well go with fapman10:55
CatButts~overclocking10:56
infobot"OK, listen up.  This is your CPU."  apt drops the CPU into a hot frying pan.  "This is your CPU on overclocking.  Any questions?"10:56
sixwheeledbeasti short maemo wasn't really intended to use apt directly and FAM is a wrapper for apt.10:57
CatButts~smartreflex10:58
CatButtsit's nice having the N900 at 1050Mhz, but I wonder for how long11:05
CatButts*1150Mhz11:07
bencohI honestly wouldn't do that nowadays11:08
bencohespecially considering that you could just buy a droid4 if you want a more powerful device11:08
CatButtsor stop trying to use Sunvox :p11:09
bencohI was wondering whether it was opensource, but looks like it eventually moved to close-source11:10
CatButtsSunvox is too hot for the device11:26
clortone does not just buy *a* droid411:35
clortone begins a collection! :)11:36
CatButtshttps://droid4x.cc/ this site does not inspire me confidence11:37
CatButtsunrelated11:38
buZzlol 'droid 4 X'11:41
buZzdoesnt support X11:41
buZz:D11:41
* sicelo should experiment with overclocking N900 on mainline11:43
sicelobut not very high :-)11:44
KotCzarnyka-b00m..pshhhh11:44
CatButtshttp://cat.butt.care:3434/droid4x_phone_home.png11:44
bencohsicelo: :(12:05
bencohI thought you kinda liked your n900 :>12:06
siceloi do :-)12:06
sicelowell, it's just to test and see what's possible, not to run it like that all the time12:07
sicelomayne i could do it on the device with broken modem and faulty touchscreen12:07
bencohthat being said, I think freemangordon's device runs overclocked most of the time12:07
bencohso ... it might be safe at some reasonable freqs12:08
bencohdunno about mainline though :)12:08
sixwheeledbeastIt was popular to run KP ideal profile which was 700-800ish IIRC?12:09
sixwheeledbeastI actually used KP to get 125Mhz12:10
sixwheeledbeastIt was removed to help battery but i found the opposite at the time, listening to music on headphones all day back then.12:11
CatButtsunderclocking might be useful for testing and performance tuning applications12:11
clortomap3 was quite overclockeable12:14
KotCzarnyif you dont mind shorter battery life12:15
clorti don't recall what KP's governor did12:15
clortbut the power consumption for different workloads, such as webbrowsing is complex12:16
clortwe all know this i guess.  phone cpus 'burst' now12:17
bencohit's not that complex in the end, most eventually reached the conclusion that it's better to clock the cpu at max clock when working, to rush to idle12:18
siceloeven fremantle did. during a phone call, iirc freq was always locked to 600MHz12:18
bencohunless your platform has broken idle support and/or entering/exiting from idle takes too much time12:19
sixwheeledbeastthe phone application forced it12:29
sixwheeledbeastphone application does a lot of weird things like that, they seem like an after thought12:29
sixwheeledbeastrace to idle was the future, but maemo OS works different in that regard you can have multiple things open and working.12:31
KotCzarnywell, during phone call you are already draining quite a lot of power12:31
KotCzarnyand unless you are on loudspeaker you arent browsing or anything12:32
clortno manufacturer did the obvious thing of offering phones with differing thickness back cases for different sized batteries12:32
clortor a spare little battery to enable swap without shutdown12:33
sixwheeledbeastI don't have an issue with it must be for a reason but it seems like an after thought because of the way it just brute forces everything.12:34
sixwheeledbeastLithium power pack became a thing and are universal12:34
clortyeah but still not "good".  power pads on the back for stick-on supplemental power would have been doable too12:36
clortcan be done with droid4 though, with carefully modified back cover12:36
clorttwo of the pogo pins accept +5v12:37
clortso one could manufacture a powerbank cover for d412:37
sixwheeledbeastwe are talking 2009 release so designed before then.12:37
sicelosixwheeledbeast: the phone, you mean? i thought the frequency lock was needed since call audio is handled via cpu on n90012:38
clort1312:38
sixwheeledbeastI believe the modem needed the CPU power yer12:38
sixwheeledbeastMore things like prox sensors etc, phone app has root access to do whatever12:39
sixwheeledbeastYou can try to disable this things make them 444 but phone application will overwrite whatever it wants.12:40
sixwheeledbeastwell whatever it "needs" i suppose12:40
sixwheeledbeastdoes leste have working phone and sms yet?12:42
bencohiirc it still misses UI integration12:50
bencohmore than UI tbh12:51
CatButts~softfloat15:32
CatButts~hardfloat15:32
CatButtsmeh15:32
KotCzarny~weallfloathere15:32
CatButtsMaemo 5 uses softfloat, yes? On softfloat OS, hardfloat cannot be used?15:33
Wizzupn900 supports hf just fine16:08
Wizzupnot sure about fremantle16:08
freemangordonfremantle does not16:09
freemangordonbencoh: it has been running on 800MHz for ~10 years. TS started acting so I exchanged it couple of months ago with my backup device16:10
clorti've had two n900s stolen17:06
sixwheeledbeastI'd be surprised if anyone knew what it was17:07
clortthey did17:08
KotCzarnylol17:08
KotCzarnyhow long time ago it was?17:08
clortaround 2012 the first one17:09
WizzupKotCzarny: I've had some people in the weirdest places walk up to me and say "hey, that's the old nokia phone" about my droid 4 running leste17:09
Wizzupin fact that happened just last month in some mall17:09
clortmalls still exist?17:11
clorta shopping mall?17:11
sicelo:-/17:13
bencohWizzup: did you tell them about leste then? :)17:17
sixwheeledbeastwhat ... there's other commercial building beyond the ones I can see from my window?17:31
buZzlol17:32
sixwheeledbeastwho knew outside existed this year17:32
Wizzupbencoh: yeah17:34
clort40417:44
CatButtsis the GCC used in Maemo SDK in anyway customized, or is it standard?18:57
CatButtsI am contemplating commiting manual header+lib transplant18:58
CatButtsonto a newer ARM crosscompiler18:58
CatButtsGCC18:58
KotCzarnythere are newer gccs on tmo19:08
KotCzarnysearch and install19:08
CatButts~tmo19:11
infoboti guess tmo is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TMO, or http://talk.maemo.org, or http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrestrial_Trunked_Radio#TMO. It's *not* T-MO (see ~T-MO) or trolls, morons, oxen.19:11
CatButtsacronyms hate me19:12

buZz~t-mo19:35
infobotfrom memory, t-mo is T-Mobile19:35
buZzlol19:35
* CatButts coats his n900 in vegemite and overclocks it22:39
sixwheeledbeastsome clever thermal properties of vegemite?22:42
CatButtsno, I'm hungry22:51
