In urma cu ceva timp am intrat in posesia unui smartphone, mai ieftin ce-i drept, dar care isi face treaba. M-a atras faptul ca rula Android, la vremea aceea versiunea 1.6, si cum sunt un utilizator de linux am avut o placere deosebita sa fac niste teste cu aceasta achizitie.
Asa cum e in titlu smartphone-ul a fost cumparat de la Orange si pe el imaginea Android 1.6 este una personalizata acestui operator telefonic .Caracteristicile tehnice ale lui sunt afisate aici pe site-ul operatorului. Am asteptat sa faca un anunt legat de un upgrade la sistemul de operare si intr-un final acel anunt a aparut pe site-ul Orange si softul de upgrade recomandat de ei se poate descarca de aici. Am facut upgrade-ul conform specificatiilor si nu am intampinat probleme.
Pentru ca ceea ce este scris pana aici se afla in varianta oficiala a celor de la Orange pot sa va recomand acest update care va va schimba telefonul.
In timp insa, ceva s-a intamplat cu sistemul de operare in sensul ca aplicatia “Market” imi facea update-uri la mai multe aplicatii decata aveam in telefon, dar le facea in scris nu si real astfel ca aveam mereu anunturi ca am de facut update-uri si ajunsesem la peste 1000 de aplicatii ce necesita update in masura in care aveam un maxim de 100 de aplicatii de toate…
M-am gandit ca necesita o resoftare… si m-am apucat de cautat variante ce ar putea sa functioneze in cazul meu.

Some time ago I came into possession of a smartphone, cheaper it is true, but it does its job. The thing that attracted me to it it’s Android, at that time was version 1.6, and as a Linux user I had some pleasure to do some tests with this acquisition.
As in title this smartphone was bought from Orange and it has a custom Android default image based on Android 1.6 . Technical features are displayed here on the opearator site. I’ve expected them to make an announcement about an upgrade to the operating system and finally the ad appeared on the Orange site and they recommended upgrading using software that can be downloaded from here. I did the upgrade according to the specifications and I’ve had no problem.
For what is written up here is the official version of the recommended update that will change your phone from Orange. In time, however, something happened in that operating system: application “Market” started to make updates to more applications than I’ve ever had in the phone, and not actually made those updates in software and I always had to do updates to more than 1,000 applications that require updates to the extent that I had a maximum of 100 applications from all …
I thought that requires some reinstall … and I started looking for alternatives that might work for me.

AbiWord este un program gratuit si open source pentru procesare de text. Acesta a fost iniţial creat de SourceGear Corporation în prima parte a unei AbiSuite. Dezvoltarea s-a oprit atunci când SourceGear si-a schimbat interesele si s-au focalizat pe aplicatiile de Internet. AbiWord a fost adoptat de către unii dezvoltatori open source şi astfel AbiWord a continuat să fie dezvoltat. AbiWord sustine atat caracteristicile de bază de procesare de text, cum ar fi liste, liniuţele şi formatele de caractere, şi mai multe caracteristici sofisticate, inclusiv tabele, stiluri, anteturile de pagină şi subsoluri, note de subsol, template-uri, mai multe vizualizări, coloanele pagina, verificarea sintaxei, şi verificarea gramaticală.

In urma cu ceva vreme m-am lovit de necesitatea de a face putina economie la durata de viata a monitorului astfel incat sa se inchida inainte de a mai astepta timpul de inchidere. Am cautat pe internet si am gasit o modalitate de a face butoane (shortcuts) pe monitor sau in meniu, iar la accesarea lor sa-mi aduc laptop-ul la starea dorita.
