| sicelo | for all of Modest's shortcomings, at least it respects an email's Reply-to .. the stock client in LineageOS14.1 (android 7.1.2) does not. it wants to reply to the original sender instead of the specified Reply-to address | 18:56 |
|---|---|---|
| bencoh | *facepalm* | 19:02 |
| sicelo | bencoh: btw, droid 4 :) | 19:05 |
| sicelo | no gapps, works quite ok - i'd say even better than the stock 4.1.2 (maybe because there's no bloat) | 19:06 |
| bencoh | wait, does that mean you've built it? or does 14.1 still supports it? | 19:09 |
| sicelo | no, they officially retired droid4 a while ago. but the official images were mirrored, and seems someone is still building unofficial ones too | 19:11 |
| sicelo | http://droid.cs.fau.de/ | 19:11 |
| sixwheeledbeast | leste is on the way to driod4 too tho? | 19:12 |
| sicelo | yes sixwheeledbeast - the lack of acceleration makes the experience really painful for now though, but there's hope that this problem will be somewhat solved soon | 19:13 |
| CcxWrk | What are the current distributions one can run on N900? | 21:26 |
| sicelo | i'd say - any that you manage to build :) | 21:27 |
| sicelo | current community-maintained distributions are postmarketos (based on Alpine Linux) and maemo leste (obvious heritage) | 21:28 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Well Maemo is the obvious answer? | 22:06 |
| CcxWrk | Thanks | 22:09 |
| CcxWrk | So from what I'm seeing it's either working messages and calls or current software stack, but not both. :-/ | 22:26 |
| sicelo | sadly, yes. but Leste is making good progress in that front. I believe SMS will be working in not-so-many months (or even weeks) ... | 22:30 |
| CcxWrk | Unfortunately calling is still quite crucial part of using something as a phone. Getting around this puleaudio blob is quite a saga, isn't it? | 22:44 |
| sicelo | well N900 can already call with mainline kernel - just the quality is not good at all, and that's where the blob you are referring to comes in | 22:50 |
| CcxWrk | Does this also affect VoIP? | 23:01 |
| sicelo | no | 23:02 |
| CcxWrk | Oh. That might make it slightly less annoying. | 23:04 |
| CcxWrk | Can N900 be used as a WiFi hotspot? | 23:31 |
| sicelo | no. the driver for it doesn't support that unfortunately | 23:32 |
| sixwheeledbeast | WEP works? | 23:44 |
| sicelo | you mean ad-hoc? yes, that of course will work | 23:46 |
| sicelo | btw, in Leste, because the backend is wpa_supplicant, N900 can connect to more networks (easily) than it could with Fremantle (e.g. eduroam and other EAP-type networks) | 23:48 |
| sixwheeledbeast | I thought wpa_supplicant was in KP? | 23:55 |
| sicelo | no | 23:57 |
| sicelo | Fremantle uses eapd, but yes, you can use wpa_supplicant in Fremantle, if you stop wlancond. You'll need to use 'Dummy Network' though since most applications will not be 'aware' that there's a connection | 23:59 |
