Cooking Ideas

Some of the problems I find in android and there is no particular fix for it

I think we can  develop such apps for aakash

1> Usb-drive swap:
Attach a pen-drive to aakash usb, and use it as removable Swap

(fairly simple app in pygtk or any other language; to allow user to configure his usb drive as swap, formatting it and then mounting it as swap)

2> Light sensitive theme-brightness changer:

Sure there are apps in android those change brightness according to ambient light, but what about themes?

We can do this by data from front camera deciding the luminosity, and accordingly changing the font color and background of lxde

Any more ideas? Are the new aakash devices have a working front camera and brightness control in Ubuntu OS?

Have u got access to camera in lxde?

And why we need a removable swap, that will be too dangerous..

I was expecting you to give me that good news about camera access in lxde in newer models

hmm may be dangerous, but allocating swap in disk requires either partition or a swap file, both not so user friendly option.

How often usb drivers are accidentally removed?

in 8gb sdcard we already have 512mb swap, and user need not worry about it
