GNUtoo: /* Converting tangogps's POI into OSM xml files(importable into JOSM) */ change to GPLv2+ in order to be compatible with foxtrot-gps license

{{Languages|tangoGPS}}

{{ApplicationBox|
Name=[[TangoGPS]]|
Description= TangoGPS is a map application which can utilize Neo's built-in GPS to show your current location. It automatically downloads maps from http://openstreetmap.com and you can download map tiles for offline use too. There is also a fork of TangoGPS - [[FoxtrotGPS]], which can be alternatively installed and has more open development. The feature sets are quite close.|

__TOC__

tangoGPS is a map application which can utilize Neo's built-in GPS to show your current location.

[[Image:TangoGPS1.jpg]]

Website: http://www.tangogps.org

== Running tangoGPS ==
=== [[Om 2008.8]] ===

From the freerunner connected to the internet:
<pre>
opkg update
opkg install gpsd
</pre>
{{note|I experienced hangups if gpsd was not installed.}}
<pre>
opkg install http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/tangogps_0.9.5-r0_armv4t.opk
</pre>
If opkg complains about not being able to acquire a lock, try:
<pre>pkill packagekit</pre>
To get gpsd working on the FreeRunner you have to change the configuration according to [[Gpsd#GPS_on_GTA02]].
Then start gpsd by:
<pre>
/etc/init.d/gpsd start
</pre>
If you get an error about no GPS device in /etc/default/gpsd execute:
<pre>
echo "GPS_DEV=\"/dev/ttySAC1\"" > /etc/default/gpsd
</pre>
Now you must power up the GPS-chip by opening the "Settings" application and setting the GPS entry to "on". Now you can run tangoGPS and wait until it get's a GPS fix. This can take up to a few minutes.

=== [[Debian]] ===

The latest version is available in [[Debian]].

It depends on gpsd which conflicts with frameworkd in fso-frameworkd, but there is a package available that provides
the gpsd interface to clients while using the services of the FSO frameworkd daemon, fso-gpsd. The install.sh script for the Debian distribution on the OpenMoko already installs it. To add tangogps run

# apt-get install tangogps

The gps device will be started automatically upon the invocation of tangogps or another gps application, e.g. like the one in [[Zhone]]. For the records, one can manually turn on the gps device using

# echo 1 >/sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron

The tangoGPS applications may appear as "GPS & Map" on various desktops.

'''Issues:'''
* Both gpsd and the framework publish GPS data through dbus, though with different interfaces. This suggests a number of possible solutions.
** gpsd or the framework could implement the other's interface (along with their own).
** a translator could read one interface and emulate the other. This is what fso-gpsd does.
** the framework could have an option to read data from gpsd.
** ogpsd/gypsy could be extended to be backwards compatible with the majority of gps applications.

=== FSO Milestone 3 ([[OpenmokoFramework]]) ===

There are two various GPS interfaces -- (1) one provided with default [[gpsd]] and (2) the other provided by [[ogpsd]] (part of the frameworkd). tangoGPS requires the ad 1 and it obtains information from gps from the [[dbus]] interface provided by gpsd.

On FSO milestone 3, there is [[tangoGPS]] pre-installed as well as both gpsd and ogpsd (see <code>/etc/frameworkd.conf</code>, section <code>ogpsd</code>). As mentioned above, there also exists a fso-gpsd package, that converts from ad 2 to ad 1 (unfortunately fso-gpsd is not in default image and must be installed with <code>opkg install fso-gpsd</code>).

You cannot have both "providers" (ad 1 & ad 2) running, but you can have ad 2 (recommended for FSO) and "convertor" (fso-gpsd) providing the ad 1. To get usable tangoGPS on FreeRunner, one has to:

# check that <code>/etc/frameworkd.conf</code>, section <code>ogpsd</code> reads GPS data from the right device (<code>/dev/ttySAC1</code>)
# if changes were made to configuration, one should restart the frameworkd -- <code>/etc/init.d/frameworkd stop && /etc/init.d/frameworkd start</code>
# check that gpsd is not running -- <code>/etc/init.d/gpsd stop</code>
# check that fso-gpsd is installed and running -- <code>opkg install fso-gpsd; fso-gpsd</code>
# check that gps chip is online (<code>echo 1 > /sys/devices/platform/s3c2440-i2c/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/neo1973-pm-gps.0/pwron</code>) (Om 2009 newer kernels: <code>echo 1 > /sys/class/i2c-adapter/i2c-0/0-0073/pcf50633-regltr.7/neo1973-pm-gps.0/power_on</code>)
# finally start up the tangoGPS and locate the gps signal; it should be up in a few minutes.

Note 1: handy application for testing the gps (and gps signal strength) is <code>openmoko-agpsui</code>, see general gps info at [[Gps]]

Note 2: You can automate the process -- (1) remove the startup script for gpsd (<code>update-rc.d -f gpsd remove</code>) and (2) create a simple startup scipt for fso-gpsd (you can use current script for gpsd as a skeleton)

== Downloading Maps ==
=== pre-load for offline use ===

tangoGPS can bunch-download the map images so you don't need an internet connection while walking around. They are stored in ~/maps folder, this can be changed in settings. Note that the map files can take up large amounts of space, so you may want to store them on your sd card, e.g. in /media/card/osm or /media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps.

If you find that TangoGPS does not remember configuration changes that you make to it, be sure to run it from the touchscreen, and not an SSH session. TangoGPS uses gconf to store its settings, and cannot access gconf when run via SSH.

An alternative way to setup the configuration is through the command line. having /media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps as your data directory you could do the following:
<pre>
gconftool-2 -s /apps/tangogps/repos \
"[OSM|http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%d/%d/%d.png|/data/maps/OSM|\
0,Topo|maps-for-free|/data/maps/maps4free|\
0,Aerial|openaerial|/data/maps/openaerial|\
0,Opencyclemap|http://a.andy.sandbox.cloudmade.com/tiles/cycle/%d/%d/%d.png|/data/maps/opencyclemap|\
0,Google Sat (testing only)|http://khm1.google.com/kh?v=34&hl=en&x=%d&s=&y=%d&z=%d|/data/maps/googlesat|1]" \
--type list --list-type string
</pre>

Om2009 unstable 090805 Glenn:
(gconftool-2:1820): GConf-WARNING **: Client failed to connect to the D-BUS daemon:
dbus-launch failed to autolaunch D-Bus session: Autolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.
Error setting value: No D-BUS daemon running
root@om-gta02:~#

Once you have set the location to a non-volatile path, you can connect your Neo to the internet by USB or WiFi at home and start downloading the maps of your area. Tap the map screen and select "map download". Now on-the-road tangoGPS will be able to show you maps in different zoom levels even though you are not connected to the internet.

=== Downloading Maps via GPRS ===
I think tangoGPS may have started working after I followed the instructions to get GPRS working with GSM multiplexing here: [[Manually_using_GPRS#Option_1:_With_GSM_multiplexing_and_with_a_GUI]]

There are steps included in those instructions to improve GPS performance. The great thing is that once you get GPRS working, you can roam with TangoGPS running and have it download maps as needed over the GPRS connection!

=== Updating pre-downloaded maps ===
If you have many maps already downloaded, [[Media:updateMaps.txt|updateMaps.pl]] is a perl script to bring you up-to-date. It's made to work for OSM maps only, but can be adapted to work with any map dataset. See also: [[Yaouh!]].

== Using tangoGPS for OpenStreetMap.org ==
=== creating tracks ===
Step by step guide to use TangoGPS for contributing to OSM can be found here: [http://www.tangogps.org/gps/articles/13-Howto-contribute-to-OpenStreetMap.html]

tangoGPS works fine to create track for Openstreetmap. However, it records and stores a track in its native format, use [http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/convert2gpx.pl convert2gpx.pl] (see also: [http://psung.blogspot.com/2008/07/sharing-gps-tracks-from-tangogps-on.html tools])(you can also use [http://minucci.net/file/convert2gpx.py convert2gpx.py]) to convert the track to GPX (i.e to import into JOSM):

perl convert2gpx.pl 20080903_111508.log > 20080903_111508.gpx

==== tangoGPS logging format ====

<lat>,<lon>,<elevation>,<speed>,<course>,<hdop>,<datetime>

=== using OpenStreetBugs ===
[http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/TangoGPS#Using_together_with_OpenStreetBugs see OSM wiki]

== Importing Tracks into tangoGPS ==

tangoGPS does not support the import of tracks directly. However the following xslt style sheet can be used to convert gpx tracks - e.g from routing software such as maps.cloudmade.com - to tangogps log files, which can then be imported 

=== XSLT ===
At present this style sheet will only convert tracks which make use of the 'wpt' (waypoint) tag. Some software uses the 'trkpt' (trackpoint) tag. This will be incorporated into the stylesheet at some point. In the meantime, it can be used on the latter type of gpx file by changing 'wpt' to 'trkpt' on line 6.

<pre>
<nowiki>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:g="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/1">
<xsl:output method="text" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="g:gpx" >
<xsl:for-each select="g:wpt">
<xsl:value-of select="@lat"/>,<xsl:value-of select="@lon"/>,11.8,1.1,346.0,1.4,2008-12-30T06:46:0<xsl:if test="position()!=last()"><xsl:text>1</xsl:text></xsl:if><xsl:if test="position()=last()"><xsl:text>2</xsl:text></xsl:if>Z
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
</nowiki>
</pre>

save this into a file called 'gpx2log.xslt', then run

<pre>
$ xsltproc gpx2log.xslt input_file.gpx > output_file.log
</pre>

move output_file.log to the tangogps traces directory, and use the 'Load...' button on the 'Track' tab to overlay it on the map

Note: this stylesheet was thrown together in a short time, and makes at least one shortcut - namely, the use of 'dummy' variables for various details, such as the altitude, date, etc. Feel free to improve this if required, although it has no bearing on the display of the track

=== python ===

This small python script will convert GPX tracks and routes to tangogps file format.

<pre>
<nowiki>
#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys, re
import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse(sys.argv[1])
root = tree.getroot()
ns = re.match('{(.*)}', root.tag).group(1)

for trkpt in root.findall('.//{%s}trkpt' % ns) + root.findall('.//{%s}rtept' % ns):
a = trkpt.attrib
for key, default in (('ele', 555.55), ('speed', 1.0), ('hdop', 1.0), ('course', 0.0), ('time', '2009-05-16T09:35:58Z')):
a[key] = trkpt.findtext('{%s}%s' % (ns, key)) or default
print '%(lat)s,%(lon)s,%(ele)s,%(speed)s,%(hdop)s,%(time)s' % a

</nowiki>
</pre>

Testet with GPX files from bikemap.net, gpsies.com, bikeroutetoaster.com, www.vvs.de/radroutenplaner.

Usage:
<pre>
$ ./gpx2tango.py MyTack.gpx > MyTrack.log
</pre>

=== sqlite ===

You may help yourself by using [http://relet.net/frog/archives/68 this tool] to import GPX trackpoints as a series of POIs directly into the sqlite database which tangoGPS uses to store POIs.

== Using the TangoGPS logs ==

You can convert the logfiles from TangoGPS to other formats using gpsbabel and this style-file:

<pre>
DESCRIPTION TangoGPS 0.92
EXTENSION log
DATATYPE TRACK

FIELD_DELIMITER COMMA
RECORD_DELIMITER NEWLINE

IFIELD LAT_DECIMAL,"","%f"
IFIELD LON_DECIMAL,"","%f"
IFIELD ALT_METERS,"","%f"
IFIELD PATH_SPEED,"","%f"
IFIELD PATH_COURSE,"","%f"
IFIELD GPS_HDOP,"","%f"
IFIELD ISO_TIME,"","%s"
</pre>

Save this as '''tangogps.style''' and you can use gpsbabel to for instance convert to google-earth files like this:

gpsbabel -i xcsv,style=tangogps.style -o kml -f file.log -F file.kml

== Add POI from address ==

You can use [[gtkaddpoi]] for searching the destination address and add it as a POI.

== Add POI from GeoRSS feed ==

If you would like to import GeoRSS feeds from Google maps or elsewhere as points of interest (POI), read this [http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/log/2009/05/28/georss-tangogps/ blog post]. Hopefully TangoGPS upstream will include the script soon, but until then and if you aren't using Debian, download this [http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=5;filename=georss-to-tangogps-poi.py;att=1;bug=530718 script] from the Debian bug tracker.

== Converting tangogps's POI into OSM xml files(importable into JOSM) ==
You need to have the package python-sqlalchemy. On Debian/Ubuntu do:
<pre>
sudo apt-get install python-sqlalchemy
</pre>

Start this script in a directory where you have the poi.db file from TangoGPS (on the FR it is located in ~/.tangogps). Redirect the output into a .osm file. For example:
<pre>
scp root@neo:.tangogps/poi.db .
./poi2osm > poi.osm
</pre>

The file can then be opened in JOSM.

<pre>
#!/usr/bin/env python
#poi2osm convert a sqlite poi database comming from tangps to a file you can import in JOSM

print "</osm>"
</pre>

== Using Google Maps with tangoGPS ==

Go to Config and create a new repository.

Set the url for '''street-maps''' to:
<pre>http://mt1.google.com/mt?&x=%d&y=%d&z=%d</pre>
for '''satellite-maps''' to:
<pre>http://khm.google.com/kh?&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d</pre>
for '''topographic-maps''':
<pre>http://mt.google.com/mt?v=app.81&x=%d&y=%d&zoom=%d</pre>

Check the "Inverted Zoom" box. Press save Repository Configuration and you're ready to go.

'''Since TangoGPS 0.9.5''' the "Inverted Zoom" box is no longer available because Google changed the addressing scheme; instead, select "xyz instead of zxy" and use the following URLs:
<pre>
Maps:
http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@120&hl=en&x=%d&y=%d&z=%d&;s=Galileo
Sat:
http://khm3.google.com/kh/v=36&hl=en&x=%d&y=%d&z=%d&s=Galileo
</pre>

'''Generalization:''' The above 'Maps' URL isn't the current one anymore, also. Google changes the URL layout sometimes. To find out the current scheme open maps.google.com and view the page source. Search for http:// until you find sth similar to the above URL. This way I found
<pre>
http://mt0.google.com/vt/lyrs=m@120&hl=en&x=%d&y=%d&z=%d&;s=Galileo
</pre>

Now you could tweak your configuration unsing the above link (delete the 'amp;' tokens and replace every number with '%d'), for example with
<pre>
gconftool-2 -s /apps/tangogps/repos \
"[OSM|http://tile.openstreetmap.org/%d/%d/%d.png|/media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps/OSM|\

0,Aerial|openaerial|/media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps/openaerial|\
0,Opencyclemap|http://a.andy.sandbox.cloudmade.com/tiles/cycle/%d/%d/%d.png|/media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps/opencyclemap|\
0,Google Sat (testing only)|http://khm1.google.com/kh?v=34&hl=en&x=%d&s=&y=%d&z=%d|/media/mmcblk0p2/data/maps/googlesat|\

--type list --list-type string
</pre>

== Updating to the newest version ==

As mentioned in the thread http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-November/thread.html#57478 it is possible to update to the latest version by doing the following steps:

* cd /tmp
* wget http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/tangogps_0.9.8-1_armel.deb
* ar -x tangogps_0.9.8-1_armel.deb
* tar xfvz data.tar.gz
* scp /tmp/usr/bin/tangogps to_your_phone

or more easy:

* nano /etc/opkg/arch.conf

add 'arch armel 36' (without the quotes) to the bottom of the file and exit and save (CTRL-X, Y, Enter)

* opkg install http://www.tangogps.org/downloads/tangogps_x.yy.z-1_armel.deb-Openmoko

Either way, after that you may get an error
<pre>
root@om-gta02 ~ $ tangogps
tangogps: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl-gnutls.so.4:
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
</pre>
A symlink to libcurl.so.4 should help:
* cd /usr/lib
* ln -s libcurl.so.4 libcurl-gnutls.so.4

Paul: hm, worth investigating more: is not returning pressure at all a valid thing to do for a TS driver?
Heiko Stübner <heiko@sntech.de>:
As I'm currently also working on a touchscreen driver I came upon a lot of
discussion and documentation about the handling of pressure values.
In the end a driver should not use the pressure property at all if it can't
provide meaningfull pressure data (i.e. more than 0 and 1) and tslib should be
"long fixed", if one does not use an ancient version.

lindi: openmoko specific. quite essential. hack: read ts during vblank?
gena2x: it slows down pixclock to read jitterless data. it does that while blank so screen has no artefacts. may be it is possible to do that while blank without slowing pixclock, even that we have no VSYNC-like interrupt we should be able to calculate exact time of VSYNC because pixclock is constant and we always know current position. But this doesn't solve only major concern of this patch - it introduces link (via callbacks) between glamo and ts.

lindi: is there some other driver that needs a similar fix? tlv320dac33.c seems to have a similar if (dac33->fifo_mode == ucontrol->value.integer.value[0]) return 0;
lindi: why does this return 1?
lindi: this seems to be called from snd_ctl_elem_write. If we return 1 then it calls snd_ctl_notify, what does this mean?
lindi-_> gena2x_ptr: "return 1" is a bug in that patch, it needs to be "return 0"

gpio/samsung: only register available gpio banks

Only register gpio banks provided by SoC instead of the maximum possible
to lessen confusion, get rid of a warning from gpiolib and stop it from
eating into the extra gpios for configs with S3C24XX_GPIO_EXTRA != 0.

Openmoko on HTC-Dream

2011-04-30T17:23:00Z

GNUtoo: /* Current status */

= Current status =
* '''The HTC Dream support has been merged in the SHR distribution.'''
* [http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Devices/HTCDream/InstallGuide An Installation guide] is available on the SHR wiki

== Headline text ==

= History =

The following page is kept for historical reasons only

== Introduction ==

HTC-Dream is a android based phone.
Android is running on top of a Linux kernel.
So we have basically no work to do using this kernel to boot an Openmoko user space.
This work is done.
I booted an Openmoko user space.
The way to do it on your own is described below.
For questions ask leviathan and GNUtoo in irc://irc.freenode.net/#htc-linux

''If leviathan doesn't answer, he might be smoking ATM or be working elsewhere.''
''In this case, try to contact him on jabber, or leave him an offline message: leviathan@xmpp.ccczh.ch''

'''If links are down, just try the overlay'n directory. The site is outdated very fast!'''

=== Working ===
* USB-Ethernet
* Framebuffer console
* Xorg
* Wifi
* Touchscreen
* Phonecalls
* ALSA

== Setup the rootfs ==
* In this example setup I used a SD-Card as root partition.
* In order to follow this guide format a SD-Card (just like installing Openmoko on Neo Freerunner).
** First partition: vfat
** Second partition: ext3 (root)
* mount it and extract http://ftp.o2s.ch/pub/openmoko/htcdream/repo/images/htcdream/shr-full-eglibc-ipk--20100509-htcdream.rootfs.tar.bz2 to it.

== Bootloader ==
You need to install fastboot.
In order to do this, you will have need to have "root" on the existing Android device or already have a developer version of the bootloader installed.

== Kernel ==
=== Using precompiled image ===
Download an kernel image from:
* http://ftp.o2s.ch/pub/openmoko/htcdream/repo/images/htcdream/zImage-2.6.32%2br17%2bgitr636fa4daf243826ef6cebb64dd0509f3b079fcb5-r17-htcdream.bin
(I had to disable anonymous ftp because some people misused it to upload copyrighted movies and pr0n. Sry. -- leviathan)

=== Building new kernel ===
Use the kernel from the replicants.
Fetch the kernel sourcecode from http://gitorious.org/replicant/gnulinuxkernel
And configure it as you whish.

export HACK_DIR=`pwd`
git clone git://gitorious.org/htc-msm-2-6-32/leviathan-incoming.git
cd leviathan-incoming

Openmoko on HTC-Dream

2011-04-30T17:22:44Z

GNUtoo: /* Current status */

= Current status =
* '''The HTC Dream support has been merged in the SHR distribution.'''
* [http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Devices/HTCDream/InstallGuide An Installation guide] is available on the SHR wiki

== Headline text ==

= History =

The following page is kept for historical reasons only

== Introduction ==

HTC-Dream is a android based phone.
Android is running on top of a Linux kernel.
So we have basically no work to do using this kernel to boot an Openmoko user space.
This work is done.
I booted an Openmoko user space.
The way to do it on your own is described below.
For questions ask leviathan and GNUtoo in irc://irc.freenode.net/#htc-linux

''If leviathan doesn't answer, he might be smoking ATM or be working elsewhere.''
''In this case, try to contact him on jabber, or leave him an offline message: leviathan@xmpp.ccczh.ch''

'''If links are down, just try the overlay'n directory. The site is outdated very fast!'''

=== Working ===
* USB-Ethernet
* Framebuffer console
* Xorg
* Wifi
* Touchscreen
* Phonecalls
* ALSA

== Setup the rootfs ==
* In this example setup I used a SD-Card as root partition.
* In order to follow this guide format a SD-Card (just like installing Openmoko on Neo Freerunner).
** First partition: vfat
** Second partition: ext3 (root)
* mount it and extract http://ftp.o2s.ch/pub/openmoko/htcdream/repo/images/htcdream/shr-full-eglibc-ipk--20100509-htcdream.rootfs.tar.bz2 to it.

== Bootloader ==
You need to install fastboot.
In order to do this, you will have need to have "root" on the existing Android device or already have a developer version of the bootloader installed.

== Kernel ==
=== Using precompiled image ===
Download an kernel image from:
* http://ftp.o2s.ch/pub/openmoko/htcdream/repo/images/htcdream/zImage-2.6.32%2br17%2bgitr636fa4daf243826ef6cebb64dd0509f3b079fcb5-r17-htcdream.bin
(I had to disable anonymous ftp because some people misused it to upload copyrighted movies and pr0n. Sry. -- leviathan)

=== Building new kernel ===
Use the kernel from the replicants.
Fetch the kernel sourcecode from http://gitorious.org/replicant/gnulinuxkernel
And configure it as you whish.

2011-02-01T18:42:02Z

GNUtoo: /* Visitors */

= FOSDEM 2011 =

Date: Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2011

Unfortunately the request for a dedicated Devroom was declined.
So let's collect interesting talks and attendents. I.e. create sort of a "Visitors Guide".

The official FOSDEM agenda is here: http://www.fosdem.org/2011/

For reference, here is the page from last year: [[Fosdem_2010]]

= Main Talks =
tbd.

= Lightning Talks =
tbd.

= Stands =

Openmoko can share booth space at the http://hackable-devices.org/ booth, which sports open projects like Makerbot, Milkymist, Watts'nzCity, or Shruthi-1. You can find the tables in the H building. Contact wim or john @hackable-devices.org for more.

= Devrooms =

* Embedded: http://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2010-December/001098.html
* Open Source Telephony: http://lists.fosdem.org/pipermail/fosdem/2010-November/001058.html

= Hardware fixes =
Is there anyone around who can do the buzz (and optionally the other) fixes on my FreeRunner?

= Visitors =
Yes, I will be there

Gestures

2010-11-04T13:27:35Z

GNUtoo: /* Compiling for SHR */

{{Application|Gestures}}
[[Image:Accelges-Recognize-1.png|thumb]]

=Alpha 2 Release (14 Aug 2008) for Neo FreeRunner=

==Video Demo==
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2S2rQUETwc Openmoko Neo FreeRunner does Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation]

''Remark: Please watch the video, so that you'd know what to expect out of the Alpha 2 Release.

==Sources==
In October 2008, the code moved from the [http://code.google.com/p/accelges/source/browse/ Accelges Google Summer of Code] repository to a GIT server located at http://repo.accelsense.org.
=== Compiling for SHR ===
To be completed
oe_runconf --with-libtool-sysroot=.../sysroots/armv4t-oe-linux-gnueabi/
oe_runmake DESTDIR="../accelges-read-only_destdir" install

==Alpha 2 Release: The Quick Way==
SSH Neo FreeRunner:
wget http://accelges.googlecode.com/files/accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk
opkg install accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk
On The Neo FreeRunner
/etc/init.d/gesl start
Over SSH you must use
DISPLAY=:0 /etc/init.d/gesl start
(''otherwise screen orientation won't work''):

You're ready: make a gesture, make Neo change its screen orientation (''if you did watch the video, you'll know what to do'').

===Training: The Quick Way===
'''OPTIONAL''': Stop the gesture recognizer, and listener:
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 stop
/etc/init.d/gesl stop
Run
Home > Gestures
Select a gesture, press Train, and follow instructions.

'''REQUIRED''': Start/restart the gesture recognizer, and listener:
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 start (from SSH, or from Neo)
/etc/init.d/gesl start ('''only from Neo''')

==Alpha 2 Release Details==

===Prerequisites===
* You can use any distribution you like; I would suggest using the [[Om 2008.8]] for now. You'll need these dependencies:
dbus, dbus-glib, libxrandr, libnotify, notification-daemon, libcurl, and gtk+
* On the [[Om 2008.8]], you'll be missing:
libnotify, notification-daemon, libsexy2, libwnck-1-18, libstartup-notification-1-0, and libglade-2
opkg install libnotify notification-daemon libsexy2 libwnck-1-18 libstartup-notification-1-0 libglade-2.0-0
''Remark: On the 2008.8, your missing dependencies will be downloaded automatically by the installer.''

===Preparing Om 2008.8 for Gestures===
* Turn off Suspend:
Home > Settings > Suspend > off
* Make sure Neo has Web Access (use SSH):
echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" > /etc/resolv.conf
* Install Terminal:
Home > Installer > Development > openmoko-terminal2
* Create a shell script that will start the gesture listener daemon (use SSH):
echo "exec /etc/init.d/gesl start" > /usr/bin/gesl-begin
chmod +x /usr/bin/gesl-begin
* '''Restart Neo!'''

===Installing Gestures===
* Download the [http://accelges.googlecode.com/files/accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk Alpha 2 Release Package], or (use SSH):
echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" > /etc/resolv.conf
wget http://accelges.googlecode.com/files/accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk
* Install:
opkg install accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk

===Training Gestures===
* Launch the Gesture Manager:
Home > Gestures
* Select a gesture and click the first icon on the toolbar; Follow the instructions. Do the same for all the gestures!
** Step 1: Launch Gesture Manager [[Image:Accelges-Train-1.png|200px]]
** Step 2: This is the Gesture Manager [[Image:Accelges-Train-2.png|200px]]
** Step 3: Select a gesture, and click Train (first icon from the toolbar) [[Image:Accelges-Train-3.png|200px]]
** Step 4: Make the gesture (this step creates the gesture) [[Image:Accelges-Train-4.png|200px]]
** Step 5: Make the gesture again (this step trains the gesture) [[Image:Accelges-Train-5.png|200px]]
** Step 6: Select another gesture, and do the same [[Image:Accelges-Train-6.png|200px]]

* Restart the Gesture Recognizer (use SSH):
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 restart

''Remark: You have to restart the Gesture Recognizer, so that it will re-read the newly trained gestures. Every time you train one or more gestures, restart the recognizer!''

===Running Gestures===
* Use the script you have created before; '''be sure to run the script from the Neo, no SSH or VNC''':
gesl-begin

* There are 12 gestures available (once, you make one, a notification will pop up):
{| border=1 |
| align="center"|Shake-shake gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-1.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Forward-backward gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-2.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Horizontal-circle gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-3.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Z gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-4.png|100px]]
|-

| align="center"|Up gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-7.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Down gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-8.png|100px]]
|-
| align="center"|Right-left gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-9.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Left-right gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-10.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Up-down gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-11.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Down-up gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-12.png|100px]]
|}
''Remark: If you don't start the Gesture Listener from the Neo, screen orientation won't work''

===How To Improve Recognition Accuracy===
* Check to see which gesture gets recognized most often. Try training those gestures again.
* Determine which gestures don't get recognized at all. Try training those gestures again.

==Alpha 2 Development Details==
===DBUS===
Gesture Recognizer (gesd) sends signals on:
org.openmoko.accelges
/org/openmoko/accelges/Recognizer
org.openmoko.accelges.Recognizer.Recognized

Try (on [[FSO]] distribution)
mdbus -s -l
and make a gesture for more information on DBUS.

Again, if you modify the configuration file, you'll have to restart the gesture recognizer (gesd).

===Daemons===
Gesture Recognizer that uses the top accelerometer (/dev/input/event2):
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 start|stop|restart
Gesture Listener that switches screen orientation, and notifies the user of recognized gestures on the screen:
/etc/init.d/gesl start|stop|restart
''Remark: Start the recognizer first, and after that the listener (obvious, but important)''

=Components/Applications=
Try playing with:
gesd (gesture recognizer)
gesl (gesture listener)
gesm (gesture manager)

=Known Issues=
* One, or both accelerometers might not work. Try:
hexdump /dev/input/event2 (for top accelerometer)
hexdump /dev/input/event3 (for bottom accelerometer)
''Remark: The Alpha 2 Release uses the TOP accelerometer''
* After a while, the accelerometers might stop working.
Restart your Neo!
* After a while, the accelerometer send bogus values (values that are lower than what they should be). If this happens, the classifier won't be able to classify dynamic/static acceleration, and nothing will work - nor the gesture training, nor the gesture recognition.
Restart your Neo!

=Use Cases=
* Mute audio or suspend when screen is facing down; - NO SUPPORT FOR MUTE/UNMUTE AUDIO IN NEO FOR NOW
* Go to main menu when shaken; - NO SUPPORT YET
* Volume up/down during call when tilting left/right (still unclear); - NO SUPPORT YET
* Turning the phone face to the user (not the same as taking it to the ear) to turn on the backlight - BACKLIGHT HAS A BUG, CAN'T BE USED YET
* Automatic portrait/landscape switching for the UI - Done
* Turning the phone screen down to mute sound (and probably turn off the backlight) or hold call
* Swinging in an O-shape in the air to redial
* Moving the phone in a firm gesture from one ear to the other to switch between active and held calls
* Scrolling with firm tilts (suggested several times, should see if it's usable)
* Dropping (suggested several times, though it's unclear how to react to it)
* Shaking to get audio feedback (could e.g. imitate balls rolling inside to the number of unread messages, or liquid splashing to incdicate the battery level)
* Starting driving in a car (if that's detectable -- probably has other patterns than walking etc) to switch to some “car mode”
* Stopping e.g. at a traffic light to choose a better time to notify about new messages than while driving
* Taking off in a plane (should be detectable, but hard to train) to shut down all RF systems
** This is a bad idea - you need to do that way before it lifts off the ground
* Similarly, landing to re-enable RF systems
** Similarly, you shouldn't turn them back on until way after the wheels touch the tarmac
* Vigorous shaking (side to side) while receiving a call could reject it.
* A sideways swing (90degres) out of the wrist could mean general Cancel/Esc/Back
* A long swing could close a app (more a arm swing than wrist. Same G-forces but longer time).
* These swing moves could be used on two axis and each in two axis for different usage.
* A firm wrist tilt backside down could mean global OK.
* Maybe some basic moves like these should have absolute global meaning. (like left, right, enter, esc)
* Mute phone my hitting it on something hard three times with one side.
* Face down lying still - lock screen
* Face up lying still - never lock screen
* holding the moko out & angling the front of it up repeatedly turns up volume
* angling front down repeatedly turns down volume
* a set of 5 or 10 standard, easily distinguishable gestures that the user can map to favorite programs

=Alpha 2 Release (14 Aug 2008) for Neo FreeRunner=

==Video Demo==
[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K2S2rQUETwc Openmoko Neo FreeRunner does Accelerometer-based Gestures, and Screen Orientation]

''Remark: Please watch the video, so that you'd know what to expect out of the Alpha 2 Release.

==Sources==
In October 2008, the code moved from the [http://code.google.com/p/accelges/source/browse/ Accelges Google Summer of Code] repository to a GIT server located at http://repo.accelsense.org.
=== Compiling for SHR ===
oe_runconf --with-libtool-sysroot=.../sysroots/armv4t-oe-linux-gnueabi/
oe_runmake DESTDIR="../accelges-read-only_destdir" install

==Alpha 2 Release: The Quick Way==
SSH Neo FreeRunner:
wget http://accelges.googlecode.com/files/accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk
opkg install accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk
On The Neo FreeRunner
/etc/init.d/gesl start
Over SSH you must use
DISPLAY=:0 /etc/init.d/gesl start
(''otherwise screen orientation won't work''):

You're ready: make a gesture, make Neo change its screen orientation (''if you did watch the video, you'll know what to do'').

===Training: The Quick Way===
'''OPTIONAL''': Stop the gesture recognizer, and listener:
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 stop
/etc/init.d/gesl stop
Run
Home > Gestures
Select a gesture, press Train, and follow instructions.

'''REQUIRED''': Start/restart the gesture recognizer, and listener:
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 start (from SSH, or from Neo)
/etc/init.d/gesl start ('''only from Neo''')

==Alpha 2 Release Details==

===Prerequisites===
* You can use any distribution you like; I would suggest using the [[Om 2008.8]] for now. You'll need these dependencies:
dbus, dbus-glib, libxrandr, libnotify, notification-daemon, libcurl, and gtk+
* On the [[Om 2008.8]], you'll be missing:
libnotify, notification-daemon, libsexy2, libwnck-1-18, libstartup-notification-1-0, and libglade-2
opkg install libnotify notification-daemon libsexy2 libwnck-1-18 libstartup-notification-1-0 libglade-2.0-0
''Remark: On the 2008.8, your missing dependencies will be downloaded automatically by the installer.''

===Preparing Om 2008.8 for Gestures===
* Turn off Suspend:
Home > Settings > Suspend > off
* Make sure Neo has Web Access (use SSH):
echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" > /etc/resolv.conf
* Install Terminal:
Home > Installer > Development > openmoko-terminal2
* Create a shell script that will start the gesture listener daemon (use SSH):
echo "exec /etc/init.d/gesl start" > /usr/bin/gesl-begin
chmod +x /usr/bin/gesl-begin
* '''Restart Neo!'''

===Installing Gestures===
* Download the [http://accelges.googlecode.com/files/accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk Alpha 2 Release Package], or (use SSH):
echo "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" > /etc/resolv.conf
wget http://accelges.googlecode.com/files/accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk
* Install:
opkg install accelges_0.1.0-svnr204-r2_armv4t.ipk

===Training Gestures===
* Launch the Gesture Manager:
Home > Gestures
* Select a gesture and click the first icon on the toolbar; Follow the instructions. Do the same for all the gestures!
** Step 1: Launch Gesture Manager [[Image:Accelges-Train-1.png|200px]]
** Step 2: This is the Gesture Manager [[Image:Accelges-Train-2.png|200px]]
** Step 3: Select a gesture, and click Train (first icon from the toolbar) [[Image:Accelges-Train-3.png|200px]]
** Step 4: Make the gesture (this step creates the gesture) [[Image:Accelges-Train-4.png|200px]]
** Step 5: Make the gesture again (this step trains the gesture) [[Image:Accelges-Train-5.png|200px]]
** Step 6: Select another gesture, and do the same [[Image:Accelges-Train-6.png|200px]]

* Restart the Gesture Recognizer (use SSH):
/etc/init.d/gesd-neo2 restart

''Remark: You have to restart the Gesture Recognizer, so that it will re-read the newly trained gestures. Every time you train one or more gestures, restart the recognizer!''

===Running Gestures===
* Use the script you have created before; '''be sure to run the script from the Neo, no SSH or VNC''':
gesl-begin

* There are 12 gestures available (once, you make one, a notification will pop up):
{| border=1 |
| align="center"|Shake-shake gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-1.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Forward-backward gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-2.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Horizontal-circle gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-3.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Z gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-4.png|100px]]
|-
| align="center"|Right gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-5.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Left gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-6.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Up gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-7.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Down gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-8.png|100px]]
|-
| align="center"|Right-left gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-9.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Left-right gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-10.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Up-down gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-11.png|100px]]
| align="center"|Down-up gesture: [[Image:Accelges-Recognize-12.png|100px]]
|}
''Remark: If you don't start the Gesture Listener from the Neo, screen orientation won't work''

===How To Improve Recognition Accuracy===
* Check to see which gesture gets recognized most often. Try training those gestures again.
* Determine which gestures don't get recognized at all. Try training those gestures again.

==Alpha 2 Development Details==
===DBUS===
Gesture Recognizer (gesd) sends signals on:
org.openmoko.accelges
/org/openmoko/accelges/Recognizer
org.openmoko.accelges.Recognizer.Recognized

Try (on [[FSO]] distribution)
mdbus -s -l
and make a gesture for more information on DBUS.

===Configuration Files===
The configuration file for Neo is:
/etc/accelges/neo2/neo2.cfg
<pre>

== About distributions ==
This page provides an overview of the Linux distributions wich can be installed on the Openmoko phones. You can install any of them on your phone or even have a dualboot system with two distributions installed. For downloads see [[Download]], for installation instructions see [[Flashing the Neo FreeRunner]].

Besides, some distributions also run on [[Supported devices|other mobile devices]]. However they are not fully supported by these platforms.

=== Popularity ===

According to a survey from March 2010 [[SHR]] is by far the most used distribution (59%), followed by [[Debian]] (10%), [[QtMoko]] (9%), [[Android]] (8%), [[Hackable:1]] (5%) and [[Qt Extended Improved]] (4%).

=== Please note ===

* Stable in the FreeRunner world does not mean the same thing as stable in the Debian world.
* Most distributions use the same bootloader, kernel, drivers and hardware. Therefore, the same low level bugs are commonly found in all distributions.
* Most of these distributions also have package repositories. It is a BAD idea to feed from another distribution's repository. E.g. see [[installing alien package]]s.
* Upgrade path between these distributions are mostly not tested, thus updating by changing the feeds will most likely end in broken packages or even an unbootable system. It is advisable to reflash the whole filesystem with [[dfu-util]] to switch between the different distributions, with the reminder that a dual-boot setup (e.g. via [[Booting from SD|MicroSD]] or [[Booting from NFS|NFS]]) can be used.
* [[Marketing Mistakes]] and pre-installed distributions.

== Overview ==

=== Android ===
{{Template:Works on Android}}
[http://code.google.com/android/ Android] is a software stack for mobile devices developed by the [http://www.openhandsetalliance.com/ The Open Handset Alliance.] Openmoko is fully supporting Android running on the Freerunner.

Android has now reached a point where it is usable on the FreeRunner as an everyday phone, there are, however, still some caveats. Check out the main Android section of the wiki for more info.

{{Main|Android}}You can also visit the user web page for [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:Seanmcneil3 Sean McNeil] for some more info.

=== Debian ===
{{Template:Works on Debian}}
[[Debian]] is "the universal operating system". It comes with thousands and thousands of packages (most of them designed for desktops or servers so far). So in the words of Joachim "nomeata" Breitner from the [http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DebianFSO pkg-fso] team, this is not really a distribution in the Openmoko sense of the word, but rather a different underlying system for Openmoko distributions. At the moment, we ship the software from the FSO stack, but hopefully we’ll also have, for example, the SHR software in our archive. So for now, Debian is a different way of installing FSO, which takes more space and provides more programs :-)

{{Main|Debian}}

=== GameRunner ===
{{Template:Works on GameRunner}}
[[GameRunner]] is an Openmoko Linux distribution. It aims convert the Freerunner open mobile phone in a Linux-based handheld game console.
It is simple, and contains cool and suitable open source games for Linux mobile devices.

{{Main|GameRunner}}

=== Gentoo ===
{{Template:Works on Gentoo}}
[[Gentoo]] is all about choices. When installing Gentoo, this is made clear to you several times -- you can choose how much you want to compile yourself, how to install Gentoo, what system logger you want, etc. Gentoo is a fast, modern metadistribution with a clean and flexible design. Gentoo is built around free software and doesn't hide from its users what is beneath the hood. Portage, the package maintenance system which Gentoo uses, is written in Python, meaning you can easily view and modify the source code. Gentoo's packaging system uses source code (although support for precompiled packages is included too) and configuring Gentoo happens through regular textfiles. In other words, openness everywhere.

{{Main|Gentoo}}

=== Hackable:1 ===
{{Template:Works on Hackable:1}}
Hackable1 is a community distribution for hackable devices like the Neo Freerunner. It is based on Debian and 2007.2 userland which has been abandoned by Openmoko. It follows the GNOME mobile platform.
{{Main|Hackable:1}}
 

=== Mer ===
{{Template:Works on Mer}}
[[Mer]] is a distribution based on [[Maemo]].
 

=== Mokotouch ===
{{Template:Works on Mokotouch}}
[[MokoTouch]] wants to be a replacement for the OM Distribution. It will contain apps for system settings and other useful apps like, mail client, Photo and Maps Viewer and maybe other fun things. It's fully written in C++ using Qt 4.5 Embedded. and it runs using Framebuffer, so no X11 Required.

=== neovento ===
{{Template:Works on noevento}}
[[neovento]] (ex FYP) is a [[Debian|Debian on Freerunner]] based [[Distributions|distribution]] which uses [http://lxde.org/ LXDE] and [[Zhone]] on top. It is a [http://freeyourphone.de FreeYourPhone.de] community project.

{{Main|neovento}}
 

=== OpenWrt ===
{{Template:Works on OpenWrt}}
[[OpenWrt]] is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices.

Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, [[OpenWrt]] provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, [[OpenWrt]] is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.

[[OpenWrt]] development trunk now supports s3c24xx, CPU used in [[Freerunner]].

Mainly due to the usage of uClibc instead of glibc as libc implementation, OpenWrt can boot from NAND with enlightenment window manager within 1 minute 7 seconds using u-boot (NOR) bootloader.

=== Qalee ===
{{Works on Qalee}}
[[Qalee]] is a phone environment developed in Qt4 above the fso stack. It works on the freerunner under any distribution that supports Qt4. It's not finished yet but you can test a preview version with the official Qalee distributon. This release includes no new features, but many fixes for things that didn’t work or were incomplete in 0.0.2. You can read full [http://think-free.homelinux.org/wordpress/ announcement], or take a look at some of changes:
* Qalee is now based on shr instead of debian.
* clock widget now shows a calendar when clicked.
* status panel widget shows gsm network name and power and internet connection status while on wifi or gprs.
* screen menu : you can now choose the background picture with a cover-flow effect, letting the backlight always on now works.
* network menu : all entries work, gsm one is a little buggy though.
* Wifi works despite the the bug in the kernel 2.6.29 opened for 4 month.
* application menu : to launch application just click on it :) when launched the button becomes green, to close it, press the close button which becomes red and click on the application you want to close
* power button supports suspend on short press, or menu on longer press.
* phone application is now litephone modified to use Qalee’s buttons.
* GorshPlayer is broken, if you have Qt4.5.2 librairies with phonon working on shr, tell me (?)//FIXME
* keyboard is still literky.
* Themable interface allows you to change some colours of the interface.
WARNING: Qalee is in pre-alpha stage, a lot of thinks are not coded yet, other are broken, some may be changed. It's just a preview version of the current work!

=== Qt Extended Improved ===
Qt Extended has had several names. The current name is Qt Extended Improved. An Openmoko-based community develops Qt Extended Improved as a Free Software project. Qt Extended Improved builds on the foundation of Qt Extended/Qtopia/Qt by Qt Software/Trolltech. Qt Extended Improved provides a robust telephony stack, a webkit based browser and other smartphone features.

On 5th March 2009 Qt Software released Qt Extended 4.4.3. On 3rd March 2009 Qt Software announced that Qt Extended 4.4.3 would be the last release of the Qt Extended product. Prior to version 4.3, Qt Extended was known as Qtopia.

{{Main|Qt Extended Improved}}

=== QtMoko ===

{{Template:Works on QtMoko}}
The most active distribution based on Qt Extended is [http://activationrecord.net/radekp/qtmoko/ QT Moko]. Special feature are:
* actively maintained
* many bug-fixes applied
* very decent speed with nodebug-kernel
* X-Server support so you can use any X-application like [http://www.tangogps.org/gps/articles/7-Installation.html#extended TangoGPS].

{{Main|QT Moko}}

=== SHR ===
{{Template:Works on SHR}}
SHR is a community driven distribution. It contains some basic EFL based applications which make use of the FSO. There currently is an [[EFL_Documentation|EFL]] (with elementary) dialer, messages and contacts application programmed in C, as well as a nice Settings-GUI in Python. As of April 12th, 2009, there is no stable release of this distribution yet, as the SHR team doesn't feel it to be good enough. You can find images though on the [http://shr.bearstech.com/shr-testing SHR buildhost].

{{Main|SHR}}

=== Slackware ===
{{Template:Works on Slackware}}
As of release 12.2, Slackware is now officially supported on the Neo Freerunner
[http://armedslack.org/]
--[[User:Djdas|djdas]] 15:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)There aren't any confirmations of ArmedSlack running on Freerunner either on the website or the official ML, do you have any link pointing on that?
--[[User:Ajh]] 22:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC) Wrote preliminary installation instructions on my user page.
 

=== Abandoned ===

==== FDOM (FAT and Dirty Openmoko) ====
{{Template:Works on FDOM}}
[[FDOM]] was a distribution based on [[Om 2008]], updated with many ready-to-use applications and with fixes posted in the mailing lists.

{{Main|FDOM}}
 

==== Om series ====
* '''[[Om 2009]]''' was intended to be the new distro; it is not a simple follow-on from [[Om 2008]]. It is based on the [http://freesmartphone.org freesmartphone.org] milestone 5.5 framework. Development of Om 2009 was ended and developers moved on to work on other distros instead.

{{Main|Om2009}}

* '''[[Om 2008]]''' was released on August 8, 2008, to replace 2007.2. Prior to that, its codename was ASU (April/August Software Update). This is still the name of the branch in the version control system. This distribution integrates the [http://trolltech.com/products/qtopia Qtopia] phone stack with a set of new Openmoko applications based on the Enlightenment Foundation Libraries ([[EFL_Documentation|EFL]]). Qtopia being a more mature product than the GNOME Mobile stack, the standard phone applications (dialer, contacts, calculator, calendar) work better than in 2007.2. The Qtopia used in 2008.8 was ported to run on X11, contrary to standard Qtopia which uses the framebuffer. This allows non-Qt applications to safely share the screen with Qt applications.

{{Main|Om 2008}}

* '''[[Om 2007.2]]''' was the first distribution created by Openmoko. The interface was totally finger-oriented, optimized for 285ppi, and very orange. It used the GTK+ stack, which is part of the [http://www.gnome.org/mobile/ GNOME Mobile] platform. This distribution is now considered obsolete and not being worked on by Openmoko Inc or by OpenedHand.

{{Main|Om 2007.2}}

Pyneo is NO distribution but a middleware or framework like FSO which itself developed from a very early version of pyneo. Current pyneo images are entirely based on debian instead of oe. ''Status: still active and in development! ask around on #pyneo.org ''
* [http://www.quantum-step.com/ mySTEP] by Openmoko distributor Golden Delicious Computers is based on GNUstep and brings a Objective-C API to the Neo. Core GUI frameworks are "Foundation" & "AppKit". It has been shown on FOSDEM 2008, LinuxTag 2008 and SYSTEMS 2008 to run on the Neo 1973.

== Features by distribution/release target ==
{{Main|Comparison of operating systems}}
Generally, distributions can differ on one or more of the following components:
* The bootsplash screen image. This is purely decorative.
* The bootloader. Theoretically, any version of ''uboot'' could be used with any distribution. In the future ''Qi'' will replace ''uboot''.
* The kernel. GNU/Linux kernels versions 2.6.24, 2.6.26 or 2.6.28 can be found. Some have modules compiled in, others have modules compiled separately. If compiled separately, modules can be distributed in the same package file as the kernel or separately.
* Middleware: daemons to handle GSM calls or GPS, sound system, personal information storage and so on. Qt and Android have their own subsystems, FreeSmartphone.Org (FSO) is working towards a standard-based Free Software one.
* Display driver. The original ''Qt Extended'' uses the framebuffer, most other distributions today use ''X11''.
* Libraries and application framework (widget toolkit and and graphical environment) : EFL, Qt, Gtk+ or Java ?
* Basic telephony applications: voice calls, SMS, alarm clock...
* Smartphone applications: GPS, media player, simple games, web browser...
* Open source applications: more games, scientific, you name it...

Video Player

GNUtoo: /* Playing */

Not a proper 'app' page, just an overview

{{Prioritybox|
Problems with playing videos on the freerunner? - The kernel is now (July 2010) configured to use kernel-mode switching (kms) for glamo. The glamo video driver has no direct control over glamo anymore and cannot use accelerated video playing until a new driver is written.
}}

=FreeRunner=
It plays mpeg-4 640x240 with 24fps stretched fullscreen, however other formats will require transcoding.

==Playback==
The default media player doesn't seem to handle video very well, but mplayer does OK.

=== Using standard Mplayer ===
It can be installed with the following command:
opkg install mplayer

=== Using the Glamo XV acceleration ===
This only applies to GTA02 hardware which uses [[Smedia_Glamo_3362|Glamo graphical chip]].
 First of all you'll need special version of Mplayer with glamo support.
 You can download it from here: http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2
 Just copy files inside the archive with:
<pre>
cp mplayer /usr/bin/mplayer
cp input.conf ~/.mplayer/input.conf
</pre>
Install ffmpeg:
<pre>opkg install ffmpeg</pre>
Than create ~/.mplayer/config file like this:
<pre>
vo=xover:glamo,x11
display=:0
afm=ffmpeg,
fs=1
quiet=1
osdlevel=0
noautosub=1
stop-xscreensaver=1
</pre>

File shoud be preencoded with something like this:
<pre>mencoder file_to_encode.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf scale=320:240,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -ofps 15 -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o file_for_openmoko</pre>

It can be played with:
<pre>mplayer your_file.avi</pre>

Please refer to: http://unadventure.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/accelerating-in-my-pocket/ for more details.

* I gave a try to the above how-to and it doesn't work on my FR. Playing the preencoded movie just displays a green screen with garbage on the top. -- [[User:Pini|Pini]] Sun Dec 7 13:08:42 UTC 2008

=== Controlling MPlayer from the Touchscreen ===
Create a file in /home/root/.mplayer/input.conf with this content:
# Freerunner Optimizations
MOUSE_BTN0 vo_fullscreen
MOUSE_BTN0_DBL q
Now, you can toggle the fullscreen by tapping the screen and exit from mplayer by touble-tapping the LCD.
Accelerometers or hardware buttons could help more.

=== Playback helper script ===

Create a script named 'vidplay' in your home directory with the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 240x320
mplayer -vo fbdev "$1" > /dev/null
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 480x640
reset

Make the script executable:
chmod 755 /home/root/vidplay

Known issues with this approach:
*The output isn't in a proper window, so background stuff sometimes flickers through.
*When done on the local terminal the keyboard is obscured so you can't exit. SSH works quite well.
*240x320 mode has some quirks:
**The gamma/brightness/contrast is weird. Encoding adjustments into the media is a workaround.
**Vertical banding (as seen in landscape position) is quite noticeable.
*Using CTRL-C to exit vidplay doesn't reset the screen; use 'q' instead.

Despite these issues, it proves that the horsepower is there and it can be done.

=== Another derivated method : works like a charm for me ! ===
No ssh, no xrandr, no script needed, juste mplayer and qwerty keyboard :
Like it's said in the "Getting started with FreeRunner" wiki page, you have to install the full qwerty keyboard, see [http://www.ginguppin.de/node/15 these instructions].
After that, you can go to Terminal and type :
mplayer vid/my_video.avi
Mplayer starts in full screen, if your video is optimized like below 240x320 it's work like a charm and to quit just use the power button.

Only issue : You can't forward/backward/pause...

==Example - Big Buck Bunny==
===PC===
Download the source (no need to start with the giant full resolution version)

cd /tmp
wget http://proyectos.pixelamigo.com/open/movies/BigBuckBunny/unofficial_PSP/big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4

Test the video filter settings (-vf crop=...) often omitting the last "rotate=2" (Optional, but recommended for long videos).

mplayer big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -vf crop=720:480:-1:-1,scale=320:-2,rotate=2 -zoom

Transcode it:

mencoder big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=720:480:0:0,scale=320:-2,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o big_buck_bunny_320.avi

or if it doesn't work (for me the image and the colours aren't ok) replace scale=320:-2 by scale=320:240

=== FreeRunner===
Transfer the resulting 27M file from the PC to the FreeRunner's MicroSD card
scp user@192.168.0.200:/tmp/big_buck_bunny_320.avi /media/card

Play it
/home/root/vidplay /media/card/big_buck_bunny_320.avi

==Other Info==

To rotate the screen:
xrandr -o 0
xrandr -o 1

=Neo1973=

Video is problematic on [[Neo 1973]].

On the minus side.
*The CPU is certainly not fast enough to decode 480*640 video.
*The display is portrait, which means that an additional rotation step is needed for most landscape video, adding to CPU usage.
*Downloading an arbitrary video, and playing it without transcoding it, then playing it later will not be possible.
However.

On the positive side.
*The LCD can be switched to a 240*320 stretch mode, which is much less taxing.
*Re-encoding video to rotate it, and scale to 320*240, and encoding with a low CPU use codec such as MPEG-1 may well make half-screen doubled videos playable at 25fps.
*If not, then it almost certainly will be possible at 12fps.

==Mode Switching==
For switching between QVGA and VGA mode do the following with a compatible kernel:

chvt 4 && echo qvga-normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset qvga

vice versa:

echo normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset vga && chvt 3

Taken from http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/neo1973-hardware/2007-October/000267.html

To avoid console blanking type:

echo -e '\033[9;0]' > /dev/ttyX

where 'X' is your terminal number - for example if you did chvt 4 then /dev/tty4 is your terminal.

To avoid kernel output in vt do

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

==User Reports==
From a conversation with XorA, in the [irc://freenode.com/#openmoko IRC channel].

400kbps mpeg4 works on a 200Mhz neo (without sound) on prerotated 240*320 ffmpeg codec videos, at 25fps, using stock mplayer.

With sound, this drops to 18fps.

There are optimisations for mplayer that look promising to get 25fps with sound.

==Playback using 480x640 / 640x480==

To get best speed on GTA01 (best size-speed-resolution-codec trade-off I could find - doesn't mean it's perfect though) crosscode using:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 240 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=300:abitrate=32

Also working okay:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 352 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=200:abitrate=32

You can playback the file using:
mplayer -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs -framedrop <tagetfile.avi>

You may also want to use:
-autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1

= htcdream =
== Encoding ==
The htcdream is capable of playing a video like big buck bunny,full screen,with only the CPU(we didn't investigate video/audio decoding offload)
To encode the video use that command:
mencoder ../big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=300 -vf scale=480:320,rotate=1,format=fmt=yv12 -srate 44100 -o bbb.mkv
The important part are:
* low bit rates,mpeg1video etc... :
That lower the CPU usage....until less than 80% usage
* scale=480:320,rotate=1 :
That rotate big buck bunny at encoding time, that require to rotate the screen to portrait mode

Rotating the screen is described [http://www.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/DreamInstall?version=22#xorgtweaks here]

== Playing ==
If you have the screen in portrait mode do:
mplayer -vo dga bbb.mkv
Using DGA should be a lot faster. but no benchmarks were made, -vo x11 also works 
If I understand it well,dga bypasses xorg(with the cooperation from xorg) and have direct access to the framebuffer,so there is no xorg overhead 
(it works only in portrait mode) 
else do:
mplayer -vo x11 bbb.mkv

=Transcoding=
To make your videos/DVDs compatible use mencoder like this:

Find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer input.avi -vf cropdetect

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder input.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output2.avi

nota: I have written a GUI called videoconverto to transcode and transfert the result file to the FR. You can find it at http://dl.free.fr/bhZK4uQzw
just copy to your PC, and make it executable. --[[User:Piratebab|Piratebab]] 18:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

To encode a DVD first find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -vf cropdetect -sb 50000000

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output.avi

This will rotate the video/DVD, scale it and encode it to mpeg4 with a bitrate of 300kBit/s.

Works like a charm.

== Some hints on encoding for Neo Freerunner ==
* use a mpeg4 codec like in lavc (mencoder -avc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4)
* the video should be pre-rotated (mencoder -vf rotate=1 or 2)
* the resolution should/must be
** divisible by 16 (-vf scale=m*16:n*16)
** x*y= about 150k, some videos even work with 200k (-vf scale=512:384 #=196608)
** x/y should be lower than 640/480
** if the video is scaled up to more than 640/480, maybe because of the aspect (-lavcopts autoaspect), video will get slow (sometime up to 684 may work)
* scaling up seems to be easy for the Glamo
* video bitrates up to 1000kbit (or more) may work, 400kbit seems to be safe (mencoder -lavcopts vbitrate=400)
* 3.6M pixels per second are possible, 640*240*24=3,686,400 (at least, when video is pre-rotated)

This will rotate the video/DVD, scale it and encode it to mpeg4 with a bitrate of 300kBit/s.

Works like a charm.

== Some hints on encoding for Neo Freerunner ==
* use a mpeg4 codec like in lavc (mencoder -avc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4)
* the video should be pre-rotated (mencoder -vf rotate=1 or 2)
* the resolution should/must be
** divisible by 16 (-vf scale=m*16:n*16)
** x*y= about 150k, some videos even work with 200k (-vf scale=512:384 #=196608)
** x/y should be lower than 640/480
** if the video is scaled up to more than 640/480, maybe because of the aspect (-lavcopts autoaspect), video will get slow (sometime up to 684 may work)
* scaling up seems to be easy for the Glamo
* video bitrates up to 1000kbit (or more) may work, 400kbit seems to be safe (mencoder -lavcopts vbitrate=400)
* 3.6M pixels per second are possible, 640*240*24=3,686,400 (at least, when video is pre-rotated)

=Frontend=
==gnome-mplayer==
'''Source Code released: No'''

As a nice GUI gnome-mplayer can be recommended.

On Debian you can install it from repository:
# apt-get install gnome-mplayer

== An automatic list of application-related wiki pages ==

The pages linked above are all maintained manually. We also maintain an automatic categorization system by tagging wiki pages. Here is the list of application-related pages in this wiki. Normally, every page listed below should be also listed above in the same category. The converse is false: there are applications without a wiki page.

=== Applications in this Wiki: ===
<categorytree mode=pages depth=2 hideroot=on>Applications</categorytree>

== Where to find more applications? ==

At [http://opkg.org opkg.org] !

Not all Openmoko apps are listed on this wiki - there are much more [http://projects.openmoko.org/softwaremap/ projects at the Openmoko GForge] than the wiki can list, not to mention self-hosted applications on their own websites. Actually the phones can run most Linux based Free Software, using for example the [[Debian]] distribution. The [http://handhelds.freshmeat.net/browse/1038/ mobile phones section of Freshmeat] may be a interesting place to look.

Note also that there are many packages in the repository that are not installed by default. If what you want is a classic, chances are that it is already packaged. Suppose you want to install Perl:
opkg list|grep perl
opkg install perl

More application download related pages:

* [[Community Repository]]
* [[Users Repositories]]

<div style="clear:both"> </div>

== Where to find full distributions ? ==

* [[Download]]: for complete system downloads

== The usual warnings ==

* Some of these software are developed by Openmoko Inc. and some are contributed by the community. Any problems with community contributed software should be reported to the individual software developer rather than the Openmoko core team.
* Most programs listed here are not mature/stable, but only useable/beta.
* Many programs listed here are not yet packaged for your distribution and integrated in its repositories. Whichever it is.
* Installing experimental software from the internet is certain to break things. Running it as root is a very insecure thing to do. Kown that you will be burned, have backups, and be ready to apologize to everybody in your phone contact list in case they receive strange SMSs...

== An automatic list of application-related wiki pages ==

The pages linked above are all maintained manually. We also maintain an automatic categorization system by tagging wiki pages. Here is the list of application-related pages in this wiki. Normally, every page listed below should be also listed above in the same category. The converse is false: there are applications without a wiki page.

=== Applications in this Wiki: ===
<categorytree mode=pages depth=2 hideroot=on>Applications</categorytree>

== Where to find more applications? ==

At [http://opkg.org opkg.org] !

Not all Openmoko apps are listed on this wiki - there are much more [http://projects.openmoko.org/softwaremap/ projects at the Openmoko GForge] than the wiki can list, not to mention self-hosted applications on their own websites. Actually the phones can run most Linux based Free Software, using for example the [[Debian]] distribution. The [http://handhelds.freshmeat.net/browse/1038/ mobile phones section of Freshmeat] may be a interesting place to look.

Note also that there are many packages in the repository that are not installed by default. If what you want is a classic, chances are that it is already packaged. Suppose you want to install Perl:
opkg list|grep perl
opkg install perl

More application download related pages:

* [[Community Repository]]
* [[Users Repositories]]

<div style="clear:both"> </div>

== Where to find full distributions ? ==

* [[Download]]: for complete system downloads

== The usual warnings ==

* Some of these software are developed by Openmoko Inc. and some are contributed by the community. Any problems with community contributed software should be reported to the individual software developer rather than the Openmoko core team.
* Most programs listed here are not mature/stable, but only useable/beta.
* Many programs listed here are not yet packaged for your distribution and integrated in its repositories. Whichever it is.
* Installing experimental software from the internet is certain to break things. Running it as root is a very insecure thing to do. Kown that you will be burned, have backups, and be ready to apologize to everybody in your phone contact list in case they receive strange SMSs...

== An automatic list of application-related wiki pages ==

The pages linked above are all maintained manually. We also maintain an automatic categorization system by tagging wiki pages. Here is the list of application-related pages in this wiki. Normally, every page listed below should be also listed above in the same category. The converse is false: there are applications without a wiki page.

=== Applications in this Wiki: ===
<categorytree mode=pages depth=2 hideroot=on>Applications</categorytree>

== Where to find more applications? ==

At [http://opkg.org opkg.org] !

Not all Openmoko apps are listed on this wiki - there are much more [http://projects.openmoko.org/softwaremap/ projects at the Openmoko GForge] than the wiki can list, not to mention self-hosted applications on their own websites. Actually the phones can run most Linux based Free Software, using for example the [[Debian]] distribution. The [http://handhelds.freshmeat.net/browse/1038/ mobile phones section of Freshmeat] may be a interesting place to look.

Note also that there are many packages in the repository that are not installed by default. If what you want is a classic, chances are that it is already packaged. Suppose you want to install Perl:
opkg list|grep perl
opkg install perl

== The usual warnings ==

* Some of these software are developed by Openmoko Inc. and some are contributed by the community. Any problems with community contributed software should be reported to the individual software developer rather than the Openmoko core team.
* Most programs listed here are not mature/stable, but only useable/beta.
* Many programs listed here are not yet packaged for your distribution and integrated in its repositories. Whichever it is.
* Installing experimental software from the internet is certain to break things. Running it as root is a very insecure thing to do. Kown that you will be burned, have backups, and be ready to apologize to everybody in your phone contact list in case they receive strange SMSs...

Problems with playing videos on the freerunner? - The kernel is now (July 2010) configured to use kernel-mode switching (kms) for glamo. The glamo video driver has no direct control over glamo anymore and cannot use accelerated video playing until a new driver is written.
}}

=FreeRunner=
It plays mpeg-4 640x240 with 24fps stretched fullscreen, however other formats will require transcoding.

==Playback==
The default media player doesn't seem to handle video very well, but mplayer does OK.

=== Using standard Mplayer ===
It can be installed with the following command:
opkg install mplayer

=== Using the Glamo XV acceleration ===
This only applies to GTA02 hardware which uses [[Smedia_Glamo_3362|Glamo graphical chip]].
 First of all you'll need special version of Mplayer with glamo support.
 You can download it from here: http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2
 Just copy files inside the archive with:
<pre>
cp mplayer /usr/bin/mplayer
cp input.conf ~/.mplayer/input.conf
</pre>
Install ffmpeg:
<pre>opkg install ffmpeg</pre>
Than create ~/.mplayer/config file like this:
<pre>
vo=xover:glamo,x11
display=:0
afm=ffmpeg,
fs=1
quiet=1
osdlevel=0
noautosub=1
stop-xscreensaver=1
</pre>

File shoud be preencoded with something like this:
<pre>mencoder file_to_encode.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf scale=320:240,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -ofps 15 -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o file_for_openmoko</pre>

It can be played with:
<pre>mplayer your_file.avi</pre>

Please refer to: http://unadventure.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/accelerating-in-my-pocket/ for more details.

* I gave a try to the above how-to and it doesn't work on my FR. Playing the preencoded movie just displays a green screen with garbage on the top. -- [[User:Pini|Pini]] Sun Dec 7 13:08:42 UTC 2008

=== Controlling MPlayer from the Touchscreen ===
Create a file in /home/root/.mplayer/input.conf with this content:
# Freerunner Optimizations
MOUSE_BTN0 vo_fullscreen
MOUSE_BTN0_DBL q
Now, you can toggle the fullscreen by tapping the screen and exit from mplayer by touble-tapping the LCD.
Accelerometers or hardware buttons could help more.

=== Playback helper script ===

Create a script named 'vidplay' in your home directory with the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 240x320
mplayer -vo fbdev "$1" > /dev/null
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 480x640
reset

Make the script executable:
chmod 755 /home/root/vidplay

Known issues with this approach:
*The output isn't in a proper window, so background stuff sometimes flickers through.
*When done on the local terminal the keyboard is obscured so you can't exit. SSH works quite well.
*240x320 mode has some quirks:
**The gamma/brightness/contrast is weird. Encoding adjustments into the media is a workaround.
**Vertical banding (as seen in landscape position) is quite noticeable.
*Using CTRL-C to exit vidplay doesn't reset the screen; use 'q' instead.

Despite these issues, it proves that the horsepower is there and it can be done.

=== Another derivated method : works like a charm for me ! ===
No ssh, no xrandr, no script needed, juste mplayer and qwerty keyboard :
Like it's said in the "Getting started with FreeRunner" wiki page, you have to install the full qwerty keyboard, see [http://www.ginguppin.de/node/15 these instructions].
After that, you can go to Terminal and type :
mplayer vid/my_video.avi
Mplayer starts in full screen, if your video is optimized like below 240x320 it's work like a charm and to quit just use the power button.

Only issue : You can't forward/backward/pause...

==Example - Big Buck Bunny==
===PC===
Download the source (no need to start with the giant full resolution version)

cd /tmp
wget http://proyectos.pixelamigo.com/open/movies/BigBuckBunny/unofficial_PSP/big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4

Test the video filter settings (-vf crop=...) often omitting the last "rotate=2" (Optional, but recommended for long videos).

mplayer big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -vf crop=720:480:-1:-1,scale=320:-2,rotate=2 -zoom

Transcode it:

mencoder big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=720:480:0:0,scale=320:-2,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o big_buck_bunny_320.avi

or if it doesn't work (for me the image and the colours aren't ok) replace scale=320:-2 by scale=320:240

=== FreeRunner===
Transfer the resulting 27M file from the PC to the FreeRunner's MicroSD card
scp user@192.168.0.200:/tmp/big_buck_bunny_320.avi /media/card

Play it
/home/root/vidplay /media/card/big_buck_bunny_320.avi

==Other Info==

To rotate the screen:
xrandr -o 0
xrandr -o 1

=Neo1973=

Video is problematic on [[Neo 1973]].

On the minus side.
*The CPU is certainly not fast enough to decode 480*640 video.
*The display is portrait, which means that an additional rotation step is needed for most landscape video, adding to CPU usage.
*Downloading an arbitrary video, and playing it without transcoding it, then playing it later will not be possible.
However.

On the positive side.
*The LCD can be switched to a 240*320 stretch mode, which is much less taxing.
*Re-encoding video to rotate it, and scale to 320*240, and encoding with a low CPU use codec such as MPEG-1 may well make half-screen doubled videos playable at 25fps.
*If not, then it almost certainly will be possible at 12fps.

==Mode Switching==
For switching between QVGA and VGA mode do the following with a compatible kernel:

chvt 4 && echo qvga-normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset qvga

vice versa:

echo normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset vga && chvt 3

Taken from http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/neo1973-hardware/2007-October/000267.html

To avoid console blanking type:

echo -e '\033[9;0]' > /dev/ttyX

where 'X' is your terminal number - for example if you did chvt 4 then /dev/tty4 is your terminal.

To avoid kernel output in vt do

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

==User Reports==
From a conversation with XorA, in the [irc://freenode.com/#openmoko IRC channel].

400kbps mpeg4 works on a 200Mhz neo (without sound) on prerotated 240*320 ffmpeg codec videos, at 25fps, using stock mplayer.

With sound, this drops to 18fps.

There are optimisations for mplayer that look promising to get 25fps with sound.

==Playback using 480x640 / 640x480==

To get best speed on GTA01 (best size-speed-resolution-codec trade-off I could find - doesn't mean it's perfect though) crosscode using:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 240 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=300:abitrate=32

Also working okay:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 352 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=200:abitrate=32

You can playback the file using:
mplayer -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs -framedrop <tagetfile.avi>

You may also want to use:
-autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1

= htcdream =
== Encoding ==
The htcdream is capable of playing a video like big buck bunny,full screen,with only the CPU(we didn't investigate video/audio decoding offload)
To encode the video use that command:
mencoder ../big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=300 -vf scale=480:320,rotate=1,format=fmt=yv12 -srate 8000 -o bbb.mkv
The important part are:
* -srate 8000 :
That prevent most of the buffer underruns and make the sound nearly prefect
* low bit rates,mpeg1video etc... :
That lower the CPU usage....until less than 80% usage
* scale=480:320,rotate=1 :
That rotate big buck bunny at encoding time, that require to rotate the screen to portrait mode

Rotating the screen is described [http://www.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/DreamInstall?version=22#xorgtweaks here]

== Playing ==
If you have the screen in portrait mode do:
mplayer -vo dga bbb.mkv
Using DGA should be a lot faster. 
If I understand it well,it bypass xorg(with the cooperation from xorg) and have direct access to the framebuffer,so there is no xorg overhead 
(it works only in portrait mode) 
else do:
mplayer -vo x11 bbb.mkv

=Transcoding=
To make your videos/DVDs compatible use mencoder like this:

Find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer input.avi -vf cropdetect

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder input.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output2.avi

nota: I have written a GUI called videoconverto to transcode and transfert the result file to the FR. You can find it at http://dl.free.fr/bhZK4uQzw
just copy to your PC, and make it executable. --[[User:Piratebab|Piratebab]] 18:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

To encode a DVD first find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -vf cropdetect -sb 50000000

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output.avi

This will rotate the video/DVD, scale it and encode it to mpeg4 with a bitrate of 300kBit/s.

Works like a charm.

== Some hints on encoding for Neo Freerunner ==
* use a mpeg4 codec like in lavc (mencoder -avc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4)
* the video should be pre-rotated (mencoder -vf rotate=1 or 2)
* the resolution should/must be
** divisible by 16 (-vf scale=m*16:n*16)
** x*y= about 150k, some videos even work with 200k (-vf scale=512:384 #=196608)
** x/y should be lower than 640/480
** if the video is scaled up to more than 640/480, maybe because of the aspect (-lavcopts autoaspect), video will get slow (sometime up to 684 may work)
* scaling up seems to be easy for the Glamo
* video bitrates up to 1000kbit (or more) may work, 400kbit seems to be safe (mencoder -lavcopts vbitrate=400)
* 3.6M pixels per second are possible, 640*240*24=3,686,400 (at least, when video is pre-rotated)

mplayer -vo fbdev "$1" > /dev/null
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 480x640
reset

Make the script executable:
chmod 755 /home/root/vidplay

Known issues with this approach:
*The output isn't in a proper window, so background stuff sometimes flickers through.
*When done on the local terminal the keyboard is obscured so you can't exit. SSH works quite well.
*240x320 mode has some quirks:
**The gamma/brightness/contrast is weird. Encoding adjustments into the media is a workaround.
**Vertical banding (as seen in landscape position) is quite noticeable.
*Using CTRL-C to exit vidplay doesn't reset the screen; use 'q' instead.

Despite these issues, it proves that the horsepower is there and it can be done.

=== Another derivated method : works like a charm for me ! ===
No ssh, no xrandr, no script needed, juste mplayer and qwerty keyboard :
Like it's said in the "Getting started with FreeRunner" wiki page, you have to install the full qwerty keyboard, see [http://www.ginguppin.de/node/15 these instructions].
After that, you can go to Terminal and type :
mplayer vid/my_video.avi
Mplayer starts in full screen, if your video is optimized like below 240x320 it's work like a charm and to quit just use the power button.

Only issue : You can't forward/backward/pause...

==Example - Big Buck Bunny==
===PC===
Download the source (no need to start with the giant full resolution version)

cd /tmp
wget http://proyectos.pixelamigo.com/open/movies/BigBuckBunny/unofficial_PSP/big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4

Test the video filter settings (-vf crop=...) often omitting the last "rotate=2" (Optional, but recommended for long videos).

mplayer big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -vf crop=720:480:-1:-1,scale=320:-2,rotate=2 -zoom

Transcode it:

mencoder big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=720:480:0:0,scale=320:-2,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o big_buck_bunny_320.avi

or if it doesn't work (for me the image and the colours aren't ok) replace scale=320:-2 by scale=320:240

=== FreeRunner===
Transfer the resulting 27M file from the PC to the FreeRunner's MicroSD card
scp user@192.168.0.200:/tmp/big_buck_bunny_320.avi /media/card

Play it
/home/root/vidplay /media/card/big_buck_bunny_320.avi

==Other Info==

To rotate the screen:
xrandr -o 0
xrandr -o 1

=Neo1973=

Video is problematic on [[Neo 1973]].

On the minus side.
*The CPU is certainly not fast enough to decode 480*640 video.
*The display is portrait, which means that an additional rotation step is needed for most landscape video, adding to CPU usage.
*Downloading an arbitrary video, and playing it without transcoding it, then playing it later will not be possible.
However.

On the positive side.
*The LCD can be switched to a 240*320 stretch mode, which is much less taxing.
*Re-encoding video to rotate it, and scale to 320*240, and encoding with a low CPU use codec such as MPEG-1 may well make half-screen doubled videos playable at 25fps.
*If not, then it almost certainly will be possible at 12fps.

==Mode Switching==
For switching between QVGA and VGA mode do the following with a compatible kernel:

chvt 4 && echo qvga-normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset qvga

vice versa:

echo normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset vga && chvt 3

Taken from http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/neo1973-hardware/2007-October/000267.html

To avoid console blanking type:

echo -e '\033[9;0]' > /dev/ttyX

where 'X' is your terminal number - for example if you did chvt 4 then /dev/tty4 is your terminal.

To avoid kernel output in vt do

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

==User Reports==
From a conversation with XorA, in the [irc://freenode.com/#openmoko IRC channel].

400kbps mpeg4 works on a 200Mhz neo (without sound) on prerotated 240*320 ffmpeg codec videos, at 25fps, using stock mplayer.

With sound, this drops to 18fps.

There are optimisations for mplayer that look promising to get 25fps with sound.

==Playback using 480x640 / 640x480==

To get best speed on GTA01 (best size-speed-resolution-codec trade-off I could find - doesn't mean it's perfect though) crosscode using:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 240 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=300:abitrate=32

Also working okay:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 352 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=200:abitrate=32

You can playback the file using:
mplayer -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs -framedrop <tagetfile.avi>

You may also want to use:
-autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1

= htcdream =
== Encoding ==
The htcdream is capable of playing a video like big buck bunny,full screen,with only the CPU(we didn't investigate video/audio decoding offload)
To encode the video use that command:
mencoder ../big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=300 -vf scale=480:320,rotate=1,format=fmt=yv12 -srate 8000 -o bbb.mkv
The important part are:
* -srate 8000 :
That prevent most of the buffer underruns and make the sound nearly prefect
* low bit rates,mpeg1video etc... :
That lower the CPU usage....until less than 80% usage
* scale=480:320,rotate=1 :
That rotate big buck bunny at encoding time, that require to rotate the screen to portrait mode

Rotating the screen is described [http://www.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/DreamInstall?version=22#xorgtweaks here]

== Playing ==
If you have the screen in portrait mode do:
mplayer -vo dga bbb.mkv
Using DGA should be a lot faster. 
If I understand it well,it bypass xorg(with the cooperation from xorg) and have direct access to the framebuffer,so there is no xorg overhead 
(it works only in portrait mode) 
else do:
mplayer -vo x11 bbb.mkv

=Transcoding=
To make your videos/DVDs compatible use mencoder like this:

Find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer input.avi -vf cropdetect

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder input.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output2.avi

nota: I have written a GUI called videoconverto to transcode and transfert the result file to the FR. You can find it at http://dl.free.fr/bhZK4uQzw
just copy to your PC, and make it executable. --[[User:Piratebab|Piratebab]] 18:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

To encode a DVD first find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -vf cropdetect -sb 50000000

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output.avi

This will rotate the video/DVD, scale it and encode it to mpeg4 with a bitrate of 300kBit/s.

Works like a charm.

== Some hints on encoding for Neo Freerunner ==
* use a mpeg4 codec like in lavc (mencoder -avc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4)
* the video should be pre-rotated (mencoder -vf rotate=1 or 2)
* the resolution should/must be
** divisible by 16 (-vf scale=m*16:n*16)
** x*y= about 150k, some videos even work with 200k (-vf scale=512:384 #=196608)
** x/y should be lower than 640/480
** if the video is scaled up to more than 640/480, maybe because of the aspect (-lavcopts autoaspect), video will get slow (sometime up to 684 may work)
* scaling up seems to be easy for the Glamo
* video bitrates up to 1000kbit (or more) may work, 400kbit seems to be safe (mencoder -lavcopts vbitrate=400)
* 3.6M pixels per second are possible, 640*240*24=3,686,400 (at least, when video is pre-rotated)

Video Player

2010-08-14T15:23:42Z

GNUtoo: /* Playing */

Not a proper 'app' page, just an overview

{{Prioritybox|
Problems with playing videos? - The kernel is now (July 2010) configured to use kernel-mode switching (kms) for glamo. The glamo video driver has no direct control over glamo anymore and cannot use accelerated video playing until a new driver is written.
}}

=FreeRunner=
It plays mpeg-4 640x240 with 24fps stretched fullscreen, however other formats will require transcoding.

==Playback==
The default media player doesn't seem to handle video very well, but mplayer does OK.

=== Using standard Mplayer ===
It can be installed with the following command:
opkg install mplayer

=== Using the Glamo XV acceleration ===
This only applies to GTA02 hardware which uses [[Smedia_Glamo_3362|Glamo graphical chip]].
 First of all you'll need special version of Mplayer with glamo support.
 You can download it from here: http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2
 Just copy files inside the archive with:
<pre>
cp mplayer /usr/bin/mplayer
cp input.conf ~/.mplayer/input.conf
</pre>
Install ffmpeg:
<pre>opkg install ffmpeg</pre>
Than create ~/.mplayer/config file like this:
<pre>
vo=xover:glamo,x11
display=:0
afm=ffmpeg,
fs=1
quiet=1
osdlevel=0
noautosub=1
stop-xscreensaver=1
</pre>

File shoud be preencoded with something like this:
<pre>mencoder file_to_encode.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf scale=320:240,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -ofps 15 -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o file_for_openmoko</pre>

It can be played with:
<pre>mplayer your_file.avi</pre>

Please refer to: http://unadventure.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/accelerating-in-my-pocket/ for more details.

* I gave a try to the above how-to and it doesn't work on my FR. Playing the preencoded movie just displays a green screen with garbage on the top. -- [[User:Pini|Pini]] Sun Dec 7 13:08:42 UTC 2008

=== Controlling MPlayer from the Touchscreen ===
Create a file in /home/root/.mplayer/input.conf with this content:
# Freerunner Optimizations
MOUSE_BTN0 vo_fullscreen
MOUSE_BTN0_DBL q
Now, you can toggle the fullscreen by tapping the screen and exit from mplayer by touble-tapping the LCD.
Accelerometers or hardware buttons could help more.

=== Playback helper script ===

Create a script named 'vidplay' in your home directory with the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 240x320
mplayer -vo fbdev "$1" > /dev/null
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 480x640
reset

Make the script executable:
chmod 755 /home/root/vidplay

xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 240x320
mplayer -vo fbdev "$1" > /dev/null
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 480x640
reset

Make the script executable:
chmod 755 /home/root/vidplay

Known issues with this approach:
*The output isn't in a proper window, so background stuff sometimes flickers through.
*When done on the local terminal the keyboard is obscured so you can't exit. SSH works quite well.
*240x320 mode has some quirks:
**The gamma/brightness/contrast is weird. Encoding adjustments into the media is a workaround.
**Vertical banding (as seen in landscape position) is quite noticeable.
*Using CTRL-C to exit vidplay doesn't reset the screen; use 'q' instead.

Despite these issues, it proves that the horsepower is there and it can be done.

=== Another derivated method : works like a charm for me ! ===
No ssh, no xrandr, no script needed, juste mplayer and qwerty keyboard :
Like it's said in the "Getting started with FreeRunner" wiki page, you have to install the full qwerty keyboard, see [http://www.ginguppin.de/node/15 these instructions].
After that, you can go to Terminal and type :
mplayer vid/my_video.avi
Mplayer starts in full screen, if your video is optimized like below 240x320 it's work like a charm and to quit just use the power button.

Only issue : You can't forward/backward/pause...

==Example - Big Buck Bunny==
===PC===
Download the source (no need to start with the giant full resolution version)

cd /tmp
wget http://proyectos.pixelamigo.com/open/movies/BigBuckBunny/unofficial_PSP/big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4

Test the video filter settings (-vf crop=...) often omitting the last "rotate=2" (Optional, but recommended for long videos).

mplayer big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -vf crop=720:480:-1:-1,scale=320:-2,rotate=2 -zoom

Transcode it:

mencoder big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=720:480:0:0,scale=320:-2,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o big_buck_bunny_320.avi

or if it doesn't work (for me the image and the colours aren't ok) replace scale=320:-2 by scale=320:240

=== FreeRunner===
Transfer the resulting 27M file from the PC to the FreeRunner's MicroSD card
scp user@192.168.0.200:/tmp/big_buck_bunny_320.avi /media/card

Play it
/home/root/vidplay /media/card/big_buck_bunny_320.avi

==Other Info==

To rotate the screen:
xrandr -o 0
xrandr -o 1

=Neo1973=

Video is problematic on [[Neo 1973]].

On the minus side.
*The CPU is certainly not fast enough to decode 480*640 video.
*The display is portrait, which means that an additional rotation step is needed for most landscape video, adding to CPU usage.
*Downloading an arbitrary video, and playing it without transcoding it, then playing it later will not be possible.
However.

On the positive side.
*The LCD can be switched to a 240*320 stretch mode, which is much less taxing.
*Re-encoding video to rotate it, and scale to 320*240, and encoding with a low CPU use codec such as MPEG-1 may well make half-screen doubled videos playable at 25fps.
*If not, then it almost certainly will be possible at 12fps.

==Mode Switching==
For switching between QVGA and VGA mode do the following with a compatible kernel:

chvt 4 && echo qvga-normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset qvga

vice versa:

echo normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset vga && chvt 3

Taken from http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/neo1973-hardware/2007-October/000267.html

To avoid console blanking type:

echo -e '\033[9;0]' > /dev/ttyX

where 'X' is your terminal number - for example if you did chvt 4 then /dev/tty4 is your terminal.

To avoid kernel output in vt do

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

==User Reports==
From a conversation with XorA, in the [irc://freenode.com/#openmoko IRC channel].

400kbps mpeg4 works on a 200Mhz neo (without sound) on prerotated 240*320 ffmpeg codec videos, at 25fps, using stock mplayer.

With sound, this drops to 18fps.

There are optimisations for mplayer that look promising to get 25fps with sound.

==Playback using 480x640 / 640x480==

To get best speed on GTA01 (best size-speed-resolution-codec trade-off I could find - doesn't mean it's perfect though) crosscode using:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 240 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=300:abitrate=32

Also working okay:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 352 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=200:abitrate=32

You can playback the file using:
mplayer -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs -framedrop <tagetfile.avi>

You may also want to use:
-autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1

= htcdream =
== Encoding ==
The htcdream is capable of playing a video like big buck bunny,full screen,with only the CPU(we didn't investigate video/audio decoding offload)
To encode the video use that command:
mencoder ../big_buck_bunny_1080p_h264.mov -oac mp3lame -lameopts cbr:br=64 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg1video:vbitrate=300 -vf scale=480:320,rotate=1,format=fmt=yv12 -srate 8000 -o bbb.mkv
The important part are:
* -srate 8000 :
That prevent most of the buffer underruns and make the sound nearly prefect
* low bit rates,mpeg1video etc... :
That lower the CPU usage....until less than 80% usage
* scale=480:320,rotate=1 :
That rotate big buck bunny at encoding time, that require to rotate the screen to portrait mode

Rotating the screen is described [http://www.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/DreamInstall?version=22#xorgtweaks here]

== Playing ==
If you have the screen rotated do:
mplayer -vo dga bbb.mkv
else do:
mplayer -vo x11 bbb.mkv

=Transcoding=
To make your videos/DVDs compatible use mencoder like this:

Find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer input.avi -vf cropdetect

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder input.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output2.avi

nota: I have written a GUI called videoconverto to transcode and transfert the result file to the FR. You can find it at http://dl.free.fr/bhZK4uQzw
just copy to your PC, and make it executable. --[[User:Piratebab|Piratebab]] 18:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

To encode a DVD first find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -vf cropdetect -sb 50000000

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output.avi

This will rotate the video/DVD, scale it and encode it to mpeg4 with a bitrate of 300kBit/s.

Works like a charm.

== Some hints on encoding for Neo Freerunner ==
* use a mpeg4 codec like in lavc (mencoder -avc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4)
* the video should be pre-rotated (mencoder -vf rotate=1 or 2)
* the resolution should/must be
** divisible by 16 (-vf scale=m*16:n*16)
** x*y= about 150k, some videos even work with 200k (-vf scale=512:384 #=196608)
** x/y should be lower than 640/480
** if the video is scaled up to more than 640/480, maybe because of the aspect (-lavcopts autoaspect), video will get slow (sometime up to 684 may work)
* scaling up seems to be easy for the Glamo
* video bitrates up to 1000kbit (or more) may work, 400kbit seems to be safe (mencoder -lavcopts vbitrate=400)
* 3.6M pixels per second are possible, 640*240*24=3,686,400 (at least, when video is pre-rotated)

Video Player

2010-08-14T15:18:52Z

GNUtoo: /* htcdream */

Not a proper 'app' page, just an overview

{{Prioritybox|
Problems with playing videos? - The kernel is now (July 2010) configured to use kernel-mode switching (kms) for glamo. The glamo video driver has no direct control over glamo anymore and cannot use accelerated video playing until a new driver is written.
}}

=FreeRunner=
It plays mpeg-4 640x240 with 24fps stretched fullscreen, however other formats will require transcoding.

==Playback==
The default media player doesn't seem to handle video very well, but mplayer does OK.

=== Using standard Mplayer ===
It can be installed with the following command:
opkg install mplayer

=== Using the Glamo XV acceleration ===
This only applies to GTA02 hardware which uses [[Smedia_Glamo_3362|Glamo graphical chip]].
 First of all you'll need special version of Mplayer with glamo support.
 You can download it from here: http://downloads.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/openmoko/mplayer-glamo.tar.bz2
 Just copy files inside the archive with:
<pre>
cp mplayer /usr/bin/mplayer
cp input.conf ~/.mplayer/input.conf
</pre>
Install ffmpeg:
<pre>opkg install ffmpeg</pre>
Than create ~/.mplayer/config file like this:
<pre>
vo=xover:glamo,x11
display=:0
afm=ffmpeg,
fs=1
quiet=1
osdlevel=0
noautosub=1
stop-xscreensaver=1
</pre>

File shoud be preencoded with something like this:
<pre>mencoder file_to_encode.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf scale=320:240,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -ofps 15 -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o file_for_openmoko</pre>

It can be played with:
<pre>mplayer your_file.avi</pre>

Please refer to: http://unadventure.wordpress.com/2008/06/08/accelerating-in-my-pocket/ for more details.

* I gave a try to the above how-to and it doesn't work on my FR. Playing the preencoded movie just displays a green screen with garbage on the top. -- [[User:Pini|Pini]] Sun Dec 7 13:08:42 UTC 2008

=== Controlling MPlayer from the Touchscreen ===
Create a file in /home/root/.mplayer/input.conf with this content:
# Freerunner Optimizations
MOUSE_BTN0 vo_fullscreen
MOUSE_BTN0_DBL q
Now, you can toggle the fullscreen by tapping the screen and exit from mplayer by touble-tapping the LCD.
Accelerometers or hardware buttons could help more.

=== Playback helper script ===

Create a script named 'vidplay' in your home directory with the following commands:
#!/bin/sh
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 240x320
mplayer -vo fbdev "$1" > /dev/null
xrandr -display :0 --output default --mode 480x640
reset

Make the script executable:
chmod 755 /home/root/vidplay

*The output isn't in a proper window, so background stuff sometimes flickers through.
*When done on the local terminal the keyboard is obscured so you can't exit. SSH works quite well.

*Using CTRL-C to exit vidplay doesn't reset the screen; use 'q' instead.

Despite these issues, it proves that the horsepower is there and it can be done.

=== Another derivated method : works like a charm for me ! ===
No ssh, no xrandr, no script needed, juste mplayer and qwerty keyboard :
Like it's said in the "Getting started with FreeRunner" wiki page, you have to install the full qwerty keyboard, see [http://www.ginguppin.de/node/15 these instructions].
After that, you can go to Terminal and type :
mplayer vid/my_video.avi
Mplayer starts in full screen, if your video is optimized like below 240x320 it's work like a charm and to quit just use the power button.

Only issue : You can't forward/backward/pause...

==Example - Big Buck Bunny==
===PC===
Download the source (no need to start with the giant full resolution version)

cd /tmp
wget http://proyectos.pixelamigo.com/open/movies/BigBuckBunny/unofficial_PSP/big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4

Test the video filter settings (-vf crop=...) often omitting the last "rotate=2" (Optional, but recommended for long videos).

mplayer big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -vf crop=720:480:-1:-1,scale=320:-2,rotate=2 -zoom

Transcode it:

mencoder big_buck_bunny_480p_AVC_FW33.mp4 -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=720:480:0:0,scale=320:-2,eq2=1.2:0.5:-0.25,rotate=2 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr \
-o big_buck_bunny_320.avi

or if it doesn't work (for me the image and the colours aren't ok) replace scale=320:-2 by scale=320:240

=== FreeRunner===
Transfer the resulting 27M file from the PC to the FreeRunner's MicroSD card
scp user@192.168.0.200:/tmp/big_buck_bunny_320.avi /media/card

Play it
/home/root/vidplay /media/card/big_buck_bunny_320.avi

==Other Info==

To rotate the screen:
xrandr -o 0
xrandr -o 1

=Neo1973=

Video is problematic on [[Neo 1973]].

On the minus side.
*The CPU is certainly not fast enough to decode 480*640 video.
*The display is portrait, which means that an additional rotation step is needed for most landscape video, adding to CPU usage.
*Downloading an arbitrary video, and playing it without transcoding it, then playing it later will not be possible.
However.

On the positive side.
*The LCD can be switched to a 240*320 stretch mode, which is much less taxing.
*Re-encoding video to rotate it, and scale to 320*240, and encoding with a low CPU use codec such as MPEG-1 may well make half-screen doubled videos playable at 25fps.
*If not, then it almost certainly will be possible at 12fps.

==Mode Switching==
For switching between QVGA and VGA mode do the following with a compatible kernel:

chvt 4 && echo qvga-normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset qvga

vice versa:

echo normal > /sys/devices/platform/s3c24xx-spi-gpio.1/spi0.0/state && fbset vga && chvt 3

Taken from http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/neo1973-hardware/2007-October/000267.html

To avoid console blanking type:

echo -e '\033[9;0]' > /dev/ttyX

where 'X' is your terminal number - for example if you did chvt 4 then /dev/tty4 is your terminal.

To avoid kernel output in vt do

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk

==User Reports==
From a conversation with XorA, in the [irc://freenode.com/#openmoko IRC channel].

400kbps mpeg4 works on a 200Mhz neo (without sound) on prerotated 240*320 ffmpeg codec videos, at 25fps, using stock mplayer.

With sound, this drops to 18fps.

There are optimisations for mplayer that look promising to get 25fps with sound.

==Playback using 480x640 / 640x480==

To get best speed on GTA01 (best size-speed-resolution-codec trade-off I could find - doesn't mean it's perfect though) crosscode using:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 240 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=300:abitrate=32

Also working okay:
mencoder <sourcefile> -o <targetfile.avi> -ofps 13 -vf scale -zoom -xy 352 -af channels=1:0:0:1:0 -oac lavc -ovc lavc -lavcopts acodec=mp3:vcodec=h263p:autoaspect=1:vbitrate=200:abitrate=32

You can playback the file using:
mplayer -sws 0 -nodouble -vo sdl -fs -framedrop <tagetfile.avi>

You may also want to use:
-autosync 30 -vf scale -zoom -xy 640 -vf rotate=1

= htcdream =

=Transcoding=
To make your videos/DVDs compatible use mencoder like this:

Find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer input.avi -vf cropdetect

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder input.avi -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output2.avi

nota: I have written a GUI called videoconverto to transcode and transfert the result file to the FR. You can find it at http://dl.free.fr/bhZK4uQzw
just copy to your PC, and make it executable. --[[User:Piratebab|Piratebab]] 18:43, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

To encode a DVD first find out the -vf cropping parameters with

mplayer -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -vf cropdetect -sb 50000000

let it run a few seconds and insert the given cropping values into this command

mencoder -dvd-device /path/to/dvd dvd:// -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=300 \
-vf crop=xx:xx:xx:xx,rotate=2,scale=-2:320 -oac mp3lame -lameopts br=64:cbr -o output.avi

This will rotate the video/DVD, scale it and encode it to mpeg4 with a bitrate of 300kBit/s.

Works like a charm.

== Some hints on encoding for Neo Freerunner ==
* use a mpeg4 codec like in lavc (mencoder -avc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4)
* the video should be pre-rotated (mencoder -vf rotate=1 or 2)
* the resolution should/must be
** divisible by 16 (-vf scale=m*16:n*16)
** x*y= about 150k, some videos even work with 200k (-vf scale=512:384 #=196608)
** x/y should be lower than 640/480
** if the video is scaled up to more than 640/480, maybe because of the aspect (-lavcopts autoaspect), video will get slow (sometime up to 684 may work)
* scaling up seems to be easy for the Glamo
* video bitrates up to 1000kbit (or more) may work, 400kbit seems to be safe (mencoder -lavcopts vbitrate=400)
* 3.6M pixels per second are possible, 640*240*24=3,686,400 (at least, when video is pre-rotated)

=Frontend=
==gnome-mplayer==
'''Source Code released: No'''

As a nice GUI gnome-mplayer can be recommended.

On Debian you can install it from repository:

GNUtoo: /* Games it would be good to have */

__TOC__

== About me ==
My name is [http://sorbaioli.org Graziano Sorbaioli] and I am a [http://www.gnu.org free software] activist.

'''My Neo''':

* Neo Freerunner A7+ bought from Golden delicious (highly recommended! Shipment to Italy in 3 working days)
* [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/ SHR LITE Testing]

'''My goals''':

I want to hack on the Freerunner in the fields of usability and User Interface.

I own an HTC Dream with Android 1.6 and CyanogenMod-4.2.14 rom.

Since the stability and maturity of the Dream and Android I am going to compare it to the Freerunner to see differences and where we can improve.

== Neo Accessories ==

When I bought my Neo the traveller pouche was not included in the package so I had to buy one separately.
In Italy I was able to find a good one called "Tucano Rapida Camera Bag extra small".
It's made for cameras but the Neo fits good in it.

== How to obtain longer battery duration ==

If you own a Freerunner A7+ you can enhance the battery duration.

Ssh into your phone then:

nano /etc/frameworkd.conf

change

ti_calypso_deep_sleep = never

to

ti_calypso_deep_sleep = always

== Boot Time Comparison ==

How long do both phones take to be up and running? (aka cold start)
I will try to keep this section updated.

* '''HTC Dream (Android 1.6 + CyanogenMod-4.2.14)'''

~ 2 minutes

* '''Neo Freerunner A7+ (SHR LITE Testing - 2010 25th January)'''

1,40 minutes

== SHR LITE image content suggestions ==

SHR lite image should have some software included which is missing right now:

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_242.html Mokonnect] to manage connections

* [http://git.shr-project.org/git/?p=shr-installer.git;a=summary SHR-installer]

== SHR User Interface Brainstorming ==

* '''Browsing apps inside home windows'''

I think we should follow mac os x mobile way of browsing instead of the android one.
This means that when the default *visible* home screen is full, the next app installed should go to another page.

Scrolling should be done by different pages instead of scrolling vertically one big window.

* '''Closing current app'''

BRAINSTORM:

(graziano)
We should have two ways to do this: close the current app by pressing an hardware key or the current X button in the upper bar.

(nick)
There pretty much is that now. If you press the power button when an
application is open a menu comes up, one of the buttons being close.

(graziano)
yes but I was thinking more like mac os mobile behaviour: one button push immediately closes the app and returns you to the home screen.

* '''notifications'''

currently I see them only when I wake up the phone pressing the power button.
I don't think it's a good place. We should have them on the upper bar (as android) or in the lower buttons (as mac os mobile)

== Finger Friendly ==
All apps in android are finger friendly, what about SHR testing?

=== NOT OK ===
* '''small keyboard and keys'''
possible solutions

see next paragraph

* '''scrolling the screen'''
it requires more pressure than usual, scrolling is not smooth

Gnutoo says it can't be fixed because it is related to the type of touchscreen display used.

--- I am running the current RC of android on my freerunner and scrolling is very smooth. Generally speaking Android on Freerunner behaves much more responsive and shows that the freerunner is indeed a nice Smartphone, with the only handicap of the screen edges which would call for a new CAD design. Robin---

This makes me think it is *not* an hardware problem and so it can be solved by hacking on software.

Any thoughts?
Is it possible that this issue is related to the spinlock etc. enabled in the kernel?
(graziano)

=== OK ===
* slide
* opening apps in home screen
* making a call
* phone log
* alarm setting
* calculator
* mokonnect scanning wifi networks
* SHR Settings
* browsing with Ventura

== Different Default Keyboard ==

SHR has two preinstalled keyboard: illume-default and terminal.

Both have too small keys and are not finger friendly.

Possible solutions:

* BEST SOLUTION IMHO: [http://ossau.homelinux.net/~neil/keyboard.png phone-keypad keyboard] see [http://lists.shr-project.org/pipermail/shr-user/2010-March/003906.html here]

* [http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/facebook-app-now-available-for-zune-hd/ Another good suggestion]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_264.html# New EasyTouch]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_333.html OptimSMS2]

* [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Rotate omnewrotate] and [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Literki literki]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_180.html illume-keyboards-default-alt]

NOTE:

none of these keyboards is able to rotate correctly using omnewrotate.

FEEDBACK:

it is a [http://shr-project.org/trac/ticket/510 known bug] that will be fixed when we move to illume2.

== Best connections manager for SHR ==

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_242.html Mokonnect]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_114.html wicd]

installation failed.
It immediately returns to shell and doesn't download

== Suggestions for SHR ==

* tab menu to switch between dialer, contacts and call logs

* SHR LITE should have at least Mokonnect and a calendar app preinstalled

* automatically detect wifi networks and login to a chosen default one (via mokonnect?)

* "copy to sim" button inside the contact details window

* SHR FULL should have ventura browser, calendar, email, music, vocal recorder apps preinstalled
* long press in home screen = background choice

(it's slow, maybe same reason as mokomaze?)

FEEDBACK from Pingus Developer:

"Yes I saw this happening a while ago, and it affects all fullscreen SDL applications. It has something to do with the new xrandr support (max dimensions not correct after xrandr rotate). Only solution right now is, as you found out, to run in windowed mode...

I might update the ipk on my own server though, if I find time."

== Games it would be good to have ==

PLEASE NOTE:

I am not a developer (read it twice please).
I am not aware of the technical skills needed to port these games or even if porting is possible on the Freerunner (maybe because of low device cpu, os libraries, dependencies, etc.).

I am writing this list because I think it would be good to have them.

So please, instead of useless critics, let's have a brainstorm about new Freerunner games, ok?

If you wish to start working on any of these, please put your nick / name under the game with your email.

Thank you.

Gnutoo has ported some games to openembedded:

*Battle for wesnoth (he was helped a bit),last version in openembedded: 1.6.5,require a recent boost (1.41.0 works fine)

*Frozen bubble(he did that: 1.1.0->2.2.0): version 2.2.0

*xboard(require a command line startup)

and maybe other he has forgetten of.

== Opkg.org Applications ==

installation ok

use:

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_260.html Pidgin]
installation ok

use:

* Ventura
installation ok (opkg install ventura)

use: opens and browse but when clicking on text box it doesn't display any keyboard to input text.

--[[User:Rakshat|Rakshat]] 17:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC) try clicking on the keyboard icon on illume shelf to manualy launch the keyboard whenever you need it

http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/thumb/b/bf/SHR-Top-Shelve.png/200px-SHR-Top-Shelve.png

Ok, to open a keyboard the user should click first on the top shelve and then on the right "alpha" writing. Then the keyboard will appear.

If I can suggest, it would be good that keyboard would appear automatically as soon as the user click on a text box (just as the way android and mac os handles this).

== Apps it would be good to have ==

* [http://git.shr-project.org/git/?p=shr-installer.git;a=summary SHR-installer] included by default

installation ok

use: it failes to start.

FEEDBACK:

<dos1> graziano: i think it's just old package in repo - version from git should work

* Calendar

* Image viewer ([http://neon.projects.openmoko.org/ Neon])

* Meteo

* SIM application Toolkit aka SAT support

<DocScrutinizer> graziano: that SIM applications. Not supported by FSO
<DocScrutinizer> it's complex, and most devels agree on we don't want to have to disable it, once FSO has implemented it
<DocScrutinizer> as you don't have real control over that crap

== Possible SHR Testing bugs ==

* (SOLVED) clock shows wrong time after reboot (you set it, save, reboot and it shows the wrong time)

Manually:
open a terminal

hwclock --systohc

Already reported. Investigating

This means that when the default *visible* home screen is full, the next app installed should go to another page.

Scrolling should be done by different pages instead of scrolling vertically one big window.

* '''Closing current app'''

BRAINSTORM:

(graziano)
We should have two ways to do this: close the current app by pressing an hardware key or the current X button in the upper bar.

(nick)
There pretty much is that now. If you press the power button when an
application is open a menu comes up, one of the buttons being close.

(graziano)
yes but I was thinking more like mac os mobile behaviour: one button push immediately closes the app and returns you to the home screen.

* '''notifications'''

currently I see them only when I wake up the phone pressing the power button.
I don't think it's a good place. We should have them on the upper bar (as android) or in the lower buttons (as mac os mobile)

== Finger Friendly ==
All apps in android are finger friendly, what about SHR testing?

=== NOT OK ===
* '''small keyboard and keys'''
possible solutions

see next paragraph

* '''scrolling the screen'''
it requires more pressure than usual, scrolling is not smooth

Gnutoo says it can't be fixed because it is related to the type of touchscreen display used.

--- I am running the current RC of android on my freerunner and scrolling is very smooth. Generally speaking Android on Freerunner behaves much more responsive and shows that the freerunner is indeed a nice Smartphone, with the only handicap of the screen edges which would call for a new CAD design. Robin---

This makes me think it is *not* an hardware problem and so it can be solved by hacking on software.

Any thoughts?
Is it possible that this issue is related to the spinlock etc. enabled in the kernel?
(graziano)

=== OK ===
* slide
* opening apps in home screen
* making a call
* phone log
* alarm setting
* calculator
* mokonnect scanning wifi networks
* SHR Settings
* browsing with Ventura

== Different Default Keyboard ==

SHR has two preinstalled keyboard: illume-default and terminal.

Both have too small keys and are not finger friendly.

Possible solutions:

* BEST SOLUTION IMHO: [http://ossau.homelinux.net/~neil/keyboard.png phone-keypad keyboard] see [http://lists.shr-project.org/pipermail/shr-user/2010-March/003906.html here]

* [http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/01/facebook-app-now-available-for-zune-hd/ Another good suggestion]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_264.html# New EasyTouch]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_333.html OptimSMS2]

* [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Rotate omnewrotate] and [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Literki literki]

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_180.html illume-keyboards-default-alt]

NOTE:

none of these keyboards is able to rotate correctly using omnewrotate.

FEEDBACK:

it is a [http://shr-project.org/trac/ticket/510 known bug] that will be fixed when we move to illume2.

== Best connections manager for SHR ==

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_242.html Mokonnect]
installation ok

use: ok but sometimes it fails to connect and you have to retry. Still it seems the most functioning one

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_315.html Hotel Wifi]

use: it opens, detects my wpa2 wifi network, I am able to insert the wifi network key, but when I press ok it hangs.

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_114.html wicd]

It immediately returns to shell and doesn't download

== Suggestions for SHR ==

* tab menu to switch between dialer, contacts and call logs

* SHR LITE should have at least Mokonnect and a calendar app preinstalled

* automatically detect wifi networks and login to a chosen default one (via mokonnect?)

* "copy to sim" button inside the contact details window

* SHR FULL should have ventura browser, calendar, email, music, vocal recorder apps preinstalled
* long press in home screen = background choice

playing: it doesn't start by default.
You have to give the following commands in a terminal:

xrandr -o 1

pingus.bin -w -g 640x434 --disable-music --disable-sound

(it's slow, maybe same reason as mokomaze?)

FEEDBACK from Pingus Developer:

"Yes I saw this happening a while ago, and it affects all fullscreen SDL applications. It has something to do with the new xrandr support (max dimensions not correct after xrandr rotate). Only solution right now is, as you found out, to run in windowed mode...

I might update the ipk on my own server though, if I find time."

== Games it would be good to have ==

PLEASE NOTE:

I am not a developer (read it twice please).
I am not aware of the technical skills needed to port these games or even if porting is possible on the Freerunner (maybe because of low device cpu, os libraries, dependencies, etc.).

I am writing this list because I think it would be good to have them.

So please, instead of useless critics, let's have a brainstorm about new Freerunner games, ok?

If you wish to start working on any of these, please put your nick / name under the game with your email.

Thank you.

* [http://torcs.sourceforge.net/ TORCS]

* [http://www.wesnoth.org/ Battle for Wesnoth]

* [http://www.frozen-bubble.org/ Frozen Bubble]

* [http://neverball.org/ Neverball]

* [http://gltron.sourceforge.net/ GLtron]

* [http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/ Frets On Fire]

* [http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page FreeCiv]

* [http://vdrift.net/ VDrift]

* [http://x-word.org/ X-Word]

* a Jewel clone

* pacman clone ([http://njam.sourceforge.net/ Njam]?)

* Checkers

* Brain Genius / Brain Training

* a tower defense game

* [http://cubeengine.com/ Cube]

Gnutoo has ported some games to openembedded:

*Battle for wesnoth (he was helped a bit),last version in openembedded: 1.6.5,require a recent boost (1.41.0 works fine)

*Frozen bubble(he did that: 1.1.0->2.2.0): version 2.2.0

*xboard(require a command line startup)

and maybe other he has forgetten of.

== Opkg.org Applications ==

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_234.html Elmdentica]
installation ok

use:

* [http://www.opkg.org/package_260.html Pidgin]
installation ok

use:

* Ventura
installation ok (opkg install ventura)

use: opens and browse but when clicking on text box it doesn't display any keyboard to input text.

--[[User:Rakshat|Rakshat]] 17:02, 28 February 2010 (UTC) try clicking on the keyboard icon on illume shelf to manualy launch the keyboard whenever you need it

http://wiki.openmoko.org/images/thumb/b/bf/SHR-Top-Shelve.png/200px-SHR-Top-Shelve.png

Ok, to open a keyboard the user should click first on the top shelve and then on the right "alpha" writing. Then the keyboard will appear.

If I can suggest, it would be good that keyboard would appear automatically as soon as the user click on a text box (just as the way android and mac os handles this).

== Apps it would be good to have ==

* [http://git.shr-project.org/git/?p=shr-installer.git;a=summary SHR-installer] included by default

installation ok

use: it failes to start.

FEEDBACK:

<dos1> graziano: i think it's just old package in repo - version from git should work

* Calendar

* Image viewer ([http://neon.projects.openmoko.org/ Neon])

* Meteo

* SIM application Toolkit aka SAT support

<DocScrutinizer> graziano: that SIM applications. Not supported by FSO
<DocScrutinizer> it's complex, and most devels agree on we don't want to have to disable it, once FSO has implemented it
<DocScrutinizer> as you don't have real control over that crap

== Possible SHR Testing bugs ==

* (SOLVED) clock shows wrong time after reboot (you set it, save, reboot and it shows the wrong time)

Manually:
open a terminal

hwclock --systohc

Already reported. Investigating

GNUtoo: /* Who will be there? */

Fosdem is a great FOSS developers conference located in Brussels, Belgium. For those who don't know fosdem, check the site (scroll down). For those who do know fosdem: I (pieterc) have entered a dev room request (2009/10/27) for openmoko.

1/12: Update: dev room request was declined

This however, should not be a reason why we should be absent. There were a lot of devroom requests, and openmoko could be filed under: Mobile+Embedded devroom. So if someone has an idea, please bring it forward, and maybe we'll be able to bring it to a wider audience.
