Which DE / WM for the next "Y" release ?

[bzar]

AFAIK, the KDE components, especially kwin have been making great strides in performance. The full experience (KDE SC + plasma) might not be fit for pandora, but something like Plasma Active using the OGLES2 accelerated kwin as the wm might be a good fit.

If it doesn't hog our limited system resources, I think It would be great!


Although a scroll down the Plasma Active page says they don't officially support ARM yet.

 

[bzar]

Yeah, well, it's already runnable on the N900 which shares the SOC with pandora, so I don't think it would be that big a hurdle to get working.

 

[Blue Protoman]

But does it run WELL?

 

[bzar]

OK, Plasma Active might not be the one we want, at least not yet. It's still very much in development


But it does run fairly nicely. In my experience most stuff run nicer on a pandora than they do on my N900, so it could work better. Plasma Active and Panorama are based on the same building blocks, so I guess you could view Panorama as a measure

I like the current setup. LXDE in some of StreaK's screen shots look cool though.

What actualy makes Android run that fluffy and smooth like it does on most of the Android Hardware? Any "dirty tricks" underneeth the hood there?

Android runs fluffy and smooth? News to me.

 

[DaMummy]

right then, why does this thread always act like theres unread posts in it, when there arent? does it mark it as unread each time somebody votes in a poll? i dont remember having issues with other poll threads

 

[bzar]

Yes, it does. Also, other polls do too.

I just heard so, but I don't own any Android Device. ^^"" But I already would be happy if it runs a little bit smoother than the Pandora Desktop.

That's annoying...

I have a 1.1GHz tablet. It's very sluggish - it's nothing like the snappiness of the Pandora at 500MHz. That said, your mileage may vary.

Hugely. It gets me every time. :lol:

Hi,


I'm trying to compile "Enlightenment" right on the Pandora


I managed to compile "eina" in /home/samuel/enlightenment. Now I want to compile "eet" but ./configure complains because it can't find "eina"... I tried "export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/samuel/enlightenment/lib" but it didn't work. I also tried "./configure EINA_LIBS=/home/samuel/enlightenment", without luck...


What am I doing wrong ?


Bye and thanks ! Magic Sam

Ask the guys at IRC.


I wonder who were two other freaks reasonable people who voted for fvwm. It should work just great with Pandora (like with anything else).

Runs pretty good on my Droid-X in my opinion. I personally don't feel it's any bit worst than the feel of IOS on the iPhones. But to be honest I've only used an Iphone about a half dozen times.

IOS? Iphone? Never heard of 'em.


Is IOS at all like iOS?

Seriously!? don't you have bigger things to nitpick than this?


I like to properly punctuate my proper nouns even if Apple doesn't like to.

"don't" should be capitalized as it's a new sentence, seeing as how you ended your "Seriously" with an exclamation point, and a question mark.

 

[TrashyMG]

And who do you think you are starting a sentence with a quote...


Just be glad I don't capitalize everything just to piss people off.
