openPMA-NG ! We are not dead...

Post by bubu »

Hi guys

After a long long time... (busy time, my Archos 605 broken, ...)

We went back to active dev for next openPMA-NG :)

here is a screenshot of what will probably come in near future... probably some weeks...

Image

We have yet bunch of stuff to do, touchscreen support, seamless integration with avos... but this is promising...

openPMA-NG will be based on pdaXrom 2.0 so we will add support for most known applications (firefox, abiword, ...)

of course FTG exploit will be required (so Archos firmware <= 1.7.13)

Thx to sashz and the pdaXrom team.. thx to openPMA team...

so stay tuned... more infos will come... and be patient...

Alright! Great Job and thanks for continuing to work on the project!
I might be able to help with some programming over the summer...I'm an engineering major and we had to learn C, Java, etc...
I'm glad I didn't upgrade!

Any way to hack in a "Standby" feature for the 604 users who don't have Standby and must have access to a network everytime they want to use openPMA? :p

Hi Suraj,
Bubu says " FTG exploit will be required". I'm sure that's a typo, and he meant the GFT exploit (http://code.google.com/p/arcwelder/). This exploit requires wifi, so it doesn't look like you'll be in luck..

But I was wondering about laptop owners being able to use an ad-hoc connection to run the exploit? Has anyone tried that?

This would allow you use a laptop to run openPMA-NG, instead of requiring you to find a wifi network (may not help you much, but might help others)

[edit] This news from Bubu is so encouraging that i'm considering buying a backup 605. Do archos realise that this could actually boost sales significantly[/edit]

yes no more qtopia stuff as it is borring me... not a lot of support... but for people who will still interested into qtopia there will be qtopia-core on top of Xorg (xorg 1.4.0 version)... also support for SDL already compiled in (not tested yet...)..

we will have Davinci DSP support (thx to sashz)... and more exciting stuff.. :), probably flash 9 support as well... fennec...

but as I said this will take time... just be patient... meanwhile go and buy new Archos stuff if you have already upgraded to newer firmware :)

The 605 won't connect to ad-hoc wifi connection's
