Pieterc:

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.

should be ported to elementary toolkit? ([[pieterc]])

User:Pieterc

Pieterc: /* Pieter & Openmoko? */

I'm a Belgian student in the city of Ghent, like [[user:Yorick]]. I study computer engineering.

pieter dot colpaert [aŧ] gmail dot com

==Pieter & Openmoko?==
hm. I haven't done very much lately. Been active on irc/identi.ca(pietercolpaert)/mailinglist/wiki for a while, so you could have heard of me out there.

===Youtube player: Oh you were lucky===
check out [http://code.google.com/p/oywl/ the google code site]
===Mobile Vikings value checker===
A quick python script which needs some dependencies (the easiest way to do this is to copy al url* lib files from your desktop's python dir to your moko's python dir.
check this: http://pastebin.com/f3520b61a
I did not know python when I started to code and I'm aware this code is very very very messy. I will clean it up sooner or later.

It has a gtk interface. The python script can be ran in 2 ways: with usr/pwd on cmdline:
./mobilevikings user pwd
or without any arguments and then it will wait for you to enter your information in the GTK form
./mobilevikings
(be sure you have executable rights on the file):
chmod +x mobilevikings.py

If anyone feels like using it and changing stuff or has a better solution at the moment, I'd be interested, so please contact me. If someone feels like using the script and it does not work or would like a feature and you do not know how to do it, feel free to mail me.

=== Fosdem 2010===
I will be present on [[Fosdem 2010]]. Please come too!

==my openmoko ideas==

===Bash - phone===

An openmoko distribution which uses FSO. The interface is just a shell
with on top of it a transparent keyboard (something like the
fatfingershell).
You can dail like this:
pieterc@myphone$ dail +3248...... <RET>
or a contact:
pieterc@myphone$ dail hom<tab> <RET> # = pieterc phone home

dail should be a python/bash/... script using the FSO api.
other easy to use commands I can think of:
* addcontact contact #number# -group "friends"
* whereami (returns gsm locations and searches for cityname close to
that)
* sendtext "come home for dinner" son1 # sends sms to son1 (again with
autocompletion)
* wakemeup 7:30
* tail /var/mail #to read last text-messages

bash-commands or commands you're used to:
ls,cd,grep,awk,tail, ps, date, ...

and some ported apps:
* nethack (yes, the game)
* links/lynx,
* emacs (with erc)
* fortune (I like fortune a lot.)
* ...

I think it's extremely easy and fun to develop this idea. It would make
a perfect unix-lover-phone. We could hack on gnu bash to accomplish the
auto completion for contacts and other stuff.

Pieterc:

I'm a Belgian student in the city of Ghent, like [[user:Yorick]]. I study computer engineering.

pieter dot colpaert [aŧ] gmail dot com

==Pieter & Openmoko?==
hm. I haven't done very much lately. Been active on irc/identi.ca(pietercolpaert)/mailinglist/wiki for a while, so you could have heard of me out there.
===Mobile Vikings value checker===
A quick python script which needs some dependencies (the easiest way to do this is to copy al url* lib files from your desktop's python dir to your moko's python dir.
check this: http://pastebin.com/f3520b61a
I did not know python when I started to code and I'm aware this code is very very very messy. I will clean it up sooner or later.

It has a gtk interface. The python script can be ran in 2 ways: with usr/pwd on cmdline:
./mobilevikings user pwd
or without any arguments and then it will wait for you to enter your information in the GTK form
./mobilevikings
(be sure you have executable rights on the file):
chmod +x mobilevikings.py

If anyone feels like using it and changing stuff or has a better solution at the moment, I'd be interested, so please contact me. If someone feels like using the script and it does not work or would like a feature and you do not know how to do it, feel free to mail me.

=== Fosdem 2010===
I will be present on [[Fosdem 2010]]. Please come too!

==my openmoko ideas==

===Bash - phone===

An openmoko distribution which uses FSO. The interface is just a shell
with on top of it a transparent keyboard (something like the
fatfingershell).
You can dail like this:
pieterc@myphone$ dail +3248...... <RET>
or a contact:
pieterc@myphone$ dail hom<tab> <RET> # = pieterc phone home

dail should be a python/bash/... script using the FSO api.
other easy to use commands I can think of:
* addcontact contact #number# -group "friends"
* whereami (returns gsm locations and searches for cityname close to
that)
* sendtext "come home for dinner" son1 # sends sms to son1 (again with
autocompletion)
* wakemeup 7:30
* tail /var/mail #to read last text-messages

bash-commands or commands you're used to:
ls,cd,grep,awk,tail, ps, date, ...

and some ported apps:
* nethack (yes, the game)
* links/lynx,
* emacs (with erc)
* fortune (I like fortune a lot.)
* ...

I think it's extremely easy and fun to develop this idea. It would make
a perfect unix-lover-phone. We could hack on gnu bash to accomplish the
auto completion for contacts and other stuff.

==Openmoko Development Survey==
Kerstin from Open Innovation Projects has completed a survey on the influence of open source development in the openmoko project. The full results are available here: http://open-innovation-projects.org/openmoko-survey-results/

The results of the survey shouldn't be too much of a surprise given the nature of this particular project. The overwhelming majority of respondents agree with statements like "I really care about the fate of the project" and "I enjoy being part of this community". The community is mostly male, young (average age = 30) and well educated with over half of respondents indicating they have at least a university level degree.

===Work Distribution===
With regard to the split between developers and users, the community seems to be led by a small number of lead developers committing the majority of the work. The largest group indentify themselves as part of the community with just under a third identifying themselves as end-users.

===Documentation===
Access to documentation is important for the members of the openmoko community. The level of access granted to the community is satisfactory with over half of members indicating a strong degree of satisfaction with the level of access to software documentation and just under half for the hardware documentation. The community is satisfied with the ease of access to the community documentation with less than 5% of respondents finding it difficult to access software/hardware documentation. The community documentation is deemed to be useful by the majority of respondents. However, the number of respondents finding it difficult to contribute due to lack of information suggests a disparity between the perceived ease of access and value of documentation and the breadth of coverage. Few respondents were completely satisfied by the available information. The story is a little worse for 3rd party documentation as is to be expected. This can be considered an area for improvement. The level of access granted to documentation has a bearing on the satisfaction of developers as shown by the level of satisfation with the completeness of the documentation.

===Community Influence===
Despite the fact that few respondents indicated a leading role in the development of software and identified themselves as end users or community members they majority felt they were able to influence the direction of the project. This indicates that the lead developers are listening to users and there seems to be a high level of satisfaction amongst users with their ability to influence the direction of development.

=my openmoko ideas=

==Bash - phone==

An openmoko distribution which uses FSO. The interface is just a shell
with on top of it a transparent keyboard (something like the
fatfingershell).
You can dail like this:
pieterc@myphone$ dail +3248...... <RET>
or a contact:
pieterc@myphone$ dail hom<tab> <RET> # = pieterc phone home

dail should be a python/bash/... script using the FSO api.
other easy to use commands I can think of:
* addcontact contact #number# -group "friends"
* whereami (returns gsm locations and searches for cityname close to
that)
* sendtext "come home for dinner" son1 # sends sms to son1 (again with
autocompletion)
* wakemeup 7:30
* tail /var/mail #to read last text-messages

bash-commands or commands you're used to:
ls,cd,grep,awk,tail, ps, date, ...

and some ported apps:
* nethack (yes, the game)
* links/lynx,
* emacs (with erc)
* fortune (I like fortune a lot.)
* ...

I think it's extremely easy and fun to develop this idea. It would make
a perfect unix-lover-phone. We could hack on gnu bash to accomplish the
auto completion for contacts and other stuff.

Litephone

2009-07-30T11:35:21Z

Pieterc: /* Features */

[[Image:litephone1.png|thumb|Litephone screenshot]]
Litephone is a phone application using FSO. The basic idea behind the Litephone GUI is that it is packed in one window, the various 'modules' (contacts, messages, dialer, etc) placed into tabs. No popup windows.

== Announcement ==
See http://n2.nabble.com/testing-Litephone%2C-new-phone-interface-tp3336730p3336730.html

== Files ==
See http://pvtrace.com/litephone/

== Instructions ==
You can run it in 3 modes:

litephone demo - runs it with bogus data (contacts, etc), and generates bogus call and message events. You can test most of the gui this way.

litephone nogsm - runs it with bogus data, but no events

litephone - normal mode

== Wish list ==
The author is at the moment very open for suggestions. Please add feature requests.
=== Misc ===

* source (on a svn/cvs/git/...)
* launchpad / google code / sourceforge / ...- page?
* a debian package
* a repository made of http://pvtrace.com/litephone/ so upgrading is easy

=== Features ===
* airplane mode button
* upcoming meetings for some calendar?
* multiple calls handling (hold, resume, if possibile conference etc.)
* show a picture associated to a contact/group on incoming call
* when a number is visible, ability to click it and add it to your contacts (when clicked, switch to add a contact tab and fill in the correct number) (pieterc)
* interoperability with the usual phone book (pieterc)
* save sms messages/contacts on SD card/internal memory instead of sim (limited amount of messages). (pieterc)
* run in fullscreen, when pushed an extra tab button, go to the illume launcher (pieterc)

Pieterc: ideas...

==ideas on input==

* It might be interesting to change the screen resolution when ingame. When using the scale method, as well the game runs half the speed and then it might be possible to use the entire screen as input method (Pieterc)

* using accelerometers, in that way there's the possibility to push A while going left.

Pieterc: /* What works */ - okay, it's late and errors are quickly made ;)

</onlyinclude>
'''Source Code released:http://www.thomasbertani.it/files/gnuboy-1.0.3.tar.gz'''

==What works==
When removing the illume keyboard and installing the matchbox-keyboard (See also: [[Switching_Keyboards]]) it's possible to use the matchbox keyboard as input method (tested only on 2007.2, please verify).
You need to create a ~/.matchbox/keyboard.xml file:

mkdir /home/root/.matchbox
cp /usr/share/matchbox-keyboard/keyboard.xml ~/.matchbox/

PieterC created a profile to this file to change the layout to a game-boy lay-out (browsing the layouts can easily be done by pushing the > butten in the left bottom corner): add this to ~/.matchbox/keyboard.xml:

<layout id="GameBoy">
<row>
<space width="500"/>
<key> <default display="b" action="s"/> </key>
<key> <default display="a" action="d" /> </key>
<space width="300"/>
<key> <default display="↑" action="up" /> </key>
<space width="4000" extended="true" />
</row>
<row>
<key> <default display=">" action="modifier:layout"/> </key>

<key> <default display="←" action="left" /> </key>
<key> <default display="↓" action="down" /> </key>
<key> <default display="→" action="right" /> </key>
</row>
</layout>

After untarring gnuboy to the openmoko, you can launch your favorite rom-file by running

./sdlgnuboy --fullscreen=0 --scale=2 pg.gbc

==Some work has to be done...==
Using the matchbox keyboard is clearly only a temporary solution: we need an input method that works out of the box. Since it uses sdl, we can check out the code of duke3d and simply port it into the put_events() function in the main.c. Some of us tried yet to implement this but no one succeeded to implement it, due to this[http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td1304780|a1304780] issue.

When trying to implement the touchscreen as an input device for gnuboy, we won't be able to do multi touching (strike 2 buttons at a time). Since this is mandatory to some games (mostly fighting games) on the gameboy (color), we micht not use the touchscreen for all events. I propose to use the accelerometers as up down left & right, and use the touchscreen as A, B, start & select.

==Setting Application==
* [[Wmiconfig]]- wmiconfig is a tool written by Atheros Communications Inc to configure the Ar6k WIFI chip used in the Neo Freerunner. This is a standalone C executable, released under GPL v2.
* [[GTA02 sysfs]]- sysfs is a filesystem that is mounted on /sys which contains various fake "files" that are actually filled by a variety of drivers and other kernel subsystems. You can use it to change settings and behaviours of the kernel and drivers dynamically.

== Video ==

* [[Video Player]] - Using Mplayer on Openmoko smartphones
* [http://katastrophos.net/andre/blog/software/quasar-media-player/ Quasar] - a mplayer frontend for X11

* [[PyPhonelog]] - daemon uses the framework to track and log all the calls made to and from the moko.

== 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.

<div style="border: solid 1px black; padding: 1ex"><b>Applications in this Wiki:</b>
<categorytree mode=pages depth=2 hideroot=on>Applications</categorytree>
</div>

== 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.

== The usual warnings ==
<small>
* 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...

Gnuboy

Pieterc: Made a page for the gnuboy: what works and what needs to be done.

<onlyinclude>
{{ApplicationBox|
Name=[[Gnuboy]]|
Homepage=http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Gnuboy|
Description= An emulator for the handheld gaming all-time bestseller.|
Screenshot= gnuboy.png|
PackageName = no package yet|
TestedOn=Om 2008.8}}
</onlyinclude>
'''Source Code released:http://www.thomasbertani.it/files/gnuboy-1.0.3.tar.gz'''

==What works==
When removing the illume keyboard and installing the matchbox-keyboard (See also: [[Switching_Keyboards]]) it's possible to use the matchbox keyboard as input method (tested only on 2007.2, please verify).
You need to create a ~/.matchbox/keyboard.xml file:

mkdir /home/root/.matchbox
cp /usr/share/matchbox-keyboard/keyboard.xml ~/.matchbox/

PieterC created added a profile to this file to change the layout to a game-boy lay-out (browsing the layouts can easily be done by pushing the > butten in the left bottom corner): add this to ~/.matchbox/keyboard.xml:

<layout id="GameBoy">
<row>
<space width="500"/>
<key> <default display="b" action="s"/> </key>
<key> <default display="a" action="d" /> </key>
<space width="300"/>
<key> <default display="↑" action="up" /> </key>
<space width="4000" extended="true" />
</row>
<row>
<key> <default display=">" action="modifier:layout"/> </key>
<key fill="true"><default display="start" action="return"/> </key>
<key> <default display="slt" action="space" /> </key>
<space width="500" extended="true"/>
<key> <default display="←" action="left" /> </key>
<key> <default display="↓" action="down" /> </key>
<key> <default display="→" action="right" /> </key>
</row>
</layout>

After untarring gnuboy to the openmoko, you can launch your favorite rom-file by running

./sdlgnuboy --fullscreen=0 --scale=2 pg.gbc

==Some work has to be done...==
Using the matchbox keyboard is clearly only a temporary solution: we need an input method that works out of the box. Since it uses sdl, we can check out the code of duke3d and simply port it into the put_events() function in the main.c. Some of us tried yet to implement this but no one succeeded to implement it, due to this[http://lists.openmoko.org/nabble.html#nabble-td1304780|a1304780] issue.

If we're trying to implement the touchscreen as an input device for gnuboy, we won't be able to do multi touching (strike 2 buttons at a time). Since this is mandatory to some games (mostly fighting games) on the gameboy (color), we micht not use the touchscreen for all events. I propose to use the accelerometers as up down left & right, and use the touchscreen as A, B, start & select.
