Here is a growing list of tips, tricks and configuration snippets for using Sxmo.
This pages is intended to focus mostly on "non-core" issues, such as runnig apps and everyday usability. The core configuration issues should end up in sxmo doc, as discussed on https://todo.sr.ht/~mil/sxmo-tickets/275
Calls, SMS, Modem
Sometimes Modem gets stuck
Sometimes the modem gets irresponsive, stops receiving/sending calls, even when toggled. Rebooting sometimes doesn't change this situation as it seems the modem then needs a hard reset.
Prefered solution: remove battery and reboot.
Sometimes SMS dont get sent/received
It may be a problem with MMS getting "stuck" in the pile, not being processed, and blocking further processing of SMS.
One solution involves mmsd-ng
Another solution is to manually use Modem Manager to delete the incriminated mms:
mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-list-sms
mmcli --modem 0 --sms 0
mmcli --modem 0 --messaging-delete-sms=##
mmcli --modem -r
How to send an SMS via command line (or ssh)
cat mysupersmsfile | sxmo_modemsendsms.sh +33123123123 -
General configuration
How to easily change the size of the text, system-wide?
Change the value in: /usr/share/sxmo/appcfg/xresources_xft.xr (try 160!)
Xft.dpi: 192
if you remove the dpi line there you can set dpi on the fly via
xrandr --dpi x
Applications specific
Pure-maps sort of works (using OpenTopo or Sputnik tiles), as well as Marble (QT/KDE, heavy...). Unsure yet how to make the GPS work for both of these, but it has reported being feasible...
QT app (vlc-qt, etc.) doesnt fit the screen!
try adding the following in your .config/sxmo/xinit
export QT_AUTO_SCREEN_SCALE_FACTOR=1
export QT_SCALE_FACTOR=.07
(change the factor until it suits your need)
