Tweaks Thread


Annoying "keyring" popup asking for the keyring password when using the automatic login?
Delete the keyring fileand choose "unsafe" storage after reboot when the wifi wpa/wep network password is asked again.
note: this will delete all wifi network paswords stored.

How to change the default browser to Chromium (or another .pnd).

Go to SETTINGS, PREFERRED APPLICATIONS and in the drop down list choose other and enter the following :

Code:
'pnd_run /media/SD_CARD_NAME/pandora/apps/APPNAME.pnd' "%s"

for me this looked like :

Code:
'pnd_run /media/PAN_APPS/pandora/apps/Chromium.pnd' "%s"

Many thanks to mindlord for the solution here and thanks to Mali for getting the tweaks thread together, saved me a few hours already.

Exophase just posted this in General Talk. It's about changing the channel your router operates on in order to obtain better WiFi performance. I think it warrants a link in here, as it's an informative thread. :)

^ Thanks :) I didn't know where to put it, so I made a category [Other]. If you think it should go elsewhere, please post.
 
Running newest firmware from SD
The rootfs on an SD Card
########################

You can extract the tar.bz2-version of the pandora-image onto an SD Card (EXT2) and directly boot off it.
Be sure to include a kernel in /boot (unless you want to use the one on the NAND) and use a boot.txt / autoboot.txt to pass parameters to u-boot.
This way, you can boot off your SD Card and meddle around with the OS without risking breaking anything.

An example for the boot.txt / autoboot.txt to boot from the first partition EXT2 of your SD Card would be:

setenv bootargs debug root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootdelay=2 console=ttyS0,115200n8 vram=6272K omapfb.vram=0:3000K
ext2load mmc 0 0x80300000 /boot/uImage-2.6.27.46-omap1
bootm 0x80300000

Doh! I even pinned that thread but forgot it somehow :rolleyes:

Make an empty folder called 'version' and put it in:

Run game.

Thanks Mali :)
 
Hm why is the firmware on support page marked broken?

That long flaming discussion on the release thread is about repo/feed problems, not that there is anything wrong with the image.
 
^ I've marked it broken because there is something wrong with the boot loader or some such. Several people reported that they can't boot any more after flashing the new firmware. ED hasn't been online since "last night", if you can call 4:30AM last night that is ;)
 
Notaz, look at the top of the thread again - ED updated his first post to indicate that there was a problem with the firmware and that it shouldn't be used until its fixed ..
 
^ That was me, he wasn't online yet.

Check this for details about that firmware problem.

Maybe you could add a line advising users to flash the HotFix 2 version of the firmware if they've had problems with the latest version. I'd not call the problem The Black Screen of Death though as that makes it sound like a bricking problem.
