System Info is a Qtopia application that displays system information
about the device such as how much space is left and the software version.
System Info provides
the user with accurate information to determine if it is necessary
to carry out maintenance on the device such as removing unwanted
files or arranging for a firmware upgrade.
As well as the provision for selecting among the different
information tabs, System Info gives the user the option of running the
Clean-up Wizard enabling removal of unwanted files to recover space.
Features
Software information
The "Version" tab displays information about the firmware/software
on the device: this includes the Qtopia name and icon accompanied
by the current software version number and copyright statement. If
updated Qtopia firmware is available to suit the device an
upgrade may be appropriate.
System information
After "Version", several other tabs present information about resource usage on the device.
Storage
The "Storage" tab displays the current state of non-volatile storage devices (such as compact flash cards).
A separate bar graph shows how much of each device is being used, for example, a unit fitted with two storage devices will show two bar graphs.
At the bottom of the tab there is a button for starting the Clean-up Wizard.
Memory
The "Memory" tab contains a bar graph showing how much memory is currently being used to run the device and its applications.
Data
The "Data" tab shows 5 different types of files and the amount of space each type is using (in kilobytes or megabytes).
The file types presented are: audio, images, mail, text and video. A bar indicator with a color for each file type is used to show the share of storage each is using. Another color denotes free space.
Note that if one file type is using a sufficiently large share then
the other colors may not show and the bar may be all one color.
For example if Free space is greater than 95% a solid purple bar
will show.
Security
The "Security" tab shows the status of the Safe Execution environment, including whether Safe Execution is currently enabled and whether the currently running Linux Kernel contains the LIDS patches for Mandatory Access Control.
SIM
The "SIM" tab shows the number of used and free SMS messages and phone book entries on the SIM.
Modem
The "Modem" tab shows version information for the modem, including the manufacturer, model, revision, and serial number (IMEI).
