KDE on mobile phone #0 (building ofono)

Tuesday, April 26th, 2011

Sadly KDE mobile phone stack hasn’t been accepted as google summer of code project (we had other 50 proposals with higher priority). Personally I don’t agree, so I plan to work on it anyway.

If you want to build a KDE mobile stack that is able to connect to GMS/UMTS/CDMA network you need to build ofono (or any other similar daemon) as first thing. You just need to download phonesim and ofono from here. Then you just have to build both with ./configure && make. If you want you can run both from source directory (but you’ll need to copy src/ofono.conf to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ofono.conf).

Ofono configuration is rather simple, you just have to copy the following configuration in /usr/local/etc/ofono/phonesim.conf.

[phonesim]
Driver=phonesim
Address=127.0.0.1
Port=12345

Now you are ready to run phonesim and ofono.

Our mobile phone stack depends also on ofono-qt library.

Plasma and QGesture*

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Plasma has support for mulitouch events but for some reasons I can’t get any QGestureEvent, does anyone have any idea about why QGesture doesn’t work with Plasma?

It seems that QGestureRecognizers can receive QEvent::TouchBegin but they can’t receive QEvent::TouchUpdate or QEvent::TouchEnd.

Any idea?

Plasma Web Browser and WebKit

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Recently I’ve been working on the web browser plasmoid and since yesterday it’s possible to use it like a complete stand alone browser (with advanced rendering capabilities thanks to QtWebKit), moreover Plasma::WebView has been recently ported to KGraphicsWebView so it has KDE integration too.

The summary of recent changes is:
