Javier S. Pedro has continued his experiments to get the N950's FM receiver chipset working, and has succeeded: "RADIOOOOOOOOOOOO I AM HEARING RADIO FMRX RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT FROM MY N950!!! [...] Yesterday I miraculously suddenly started getting FM sound -- via the digital audio path. After a few more tries I am now able to get it to work consistently. Success!

That day I had been playing with libresource as part of my experiments with SDL, and I realized that's the only thing that was different from other experiments. And indeed, the key is in ohm-plugins-misc. Within it is the magic opcode that was missing from my initial post and that correctly configures the digital output.

Further details on how the resource management system needs to be configured, and discussion about the possible architecture of an FM radio application continue in the thread.

Proposed patch to add colour theme support to Qt Components

One of your editors (Andrew Olmsted) noticed that the meegotouch colour schemes available in Harmattan cannot be easily used in QML despite QML's reliance on meegotouch theme images for Qt Component styling. In the grand tradition of Open Source software I decided instead of complaining about this I would do something about it. So over the weekend I wrote a patch to Qt Components that will allow users to use any of the 19 (yes, nineteen) built in colour themes as simple as: Component.onCompleted: theme.color = 15 I am hoping to get some attention for the bug report and merge request to see if they can be integrated into the Harmattan release at some point so all developers can use this method.
