Welcome to the 2011-09-01 edition of the Free The Phone / Openmoko Community Updates. We are a loosely bound group of people originating from the developers and users of the pioneering Neo1973 and Neo FreeRunner products from Openmoko Inc. Nowadays most efforts are around free software distributions for a range of mobile phones, including the original Neo products. There are also several spin-off companies inspired by the Openmoko Inc's work.

== Hardware ==

* Video of the [[Freerunner_Navigation_Board_v3]] production posted @ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngyhKr3yTO8
** Navigation board available from eg. http://www.handheld-linux.com/ and http://www.pulster.de/

* [http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/ GTA04] has now several early adopter boards with UMTS and OMAP3 hardware functional. Stay tuned for this motherboard update to original Neo phones.
** Latest GTA04 status update and a call for kernel drivers help: http://lists.goldelico.com/pipermail/gta04-owner/2011-August/000230.html

* For those that haven't followed up FreeSmartphone.Org proceedings on other than Openmoko phones: Palm Pre has seen several updates to the FSO installer script (http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=utilities.git;a=tree;f=palmpre), and all in all there is some level of support to eight smartphones at the moment (http://git.freesmartphone.org/?p=cornucopia.git;a=tree;f=fsogsmd/conf)

== Distributions ==

Distributions lists releases and other significant updates in distributions that have some support for the Openmoko devices.

{{DistributionBox|
Name=Debian GNU/Linux |
Description=[[Debian]] is a universal operating system used on many embedded devices, servers and home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's ARM(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in. 
General news:
 
* Debian is again installable with the install.sh script, thanks to a new kernel and some testing. See http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner for more details
* FreeSmartphone.Org's FSO2 is making it into Debian finally, thanks to fabulous work by Rico Rommel and others. Most of it is already in: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2011-August/004321.html - as of this writing, also libfsosystem, fso-usaged and fso-gsmd have gone in
* FSO2 also means, like mentioned in the hardware section, a start of support for many new phones like ''Palm Pre'', ''Nokia N900'', ''Nexus One'' and others that have at least some support in FSO daemons
* A new 2.6.34 kernel was released into the pkg-fso repository, required by all Neo FreeRunner users that have upgraded to Debian unstable's newest udev version. It includes the wire_up_sys_accept4.patch.
* Enlightenment 17 (E17) has seen several updates, but the Python bindings still lag behind and the needed versions are only available in the experimental repository
* omhacks 0.15 uploaded, most noticeable change: Fix error handling of om_sysfs_readfile
* Other relevant package updates include new upstream snapshots of zhone and intone, even though both are relatively little developed compared to their competitors in the phone UI and music player fields

We need your help!

== Blogs Aggregator ==

The blogs of openmoko fans and developpers are aggregated at [http://planet.openmoko.org/ planet.openmoko.org]. Only posts tagged ''openmoko'' are syndicated. The planet is multilingual. To get your blog added, please open a ticket on the [http://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac admin-trac] (you will need to open an account first).

== Forums and Jabber Multi-User Chats ==

See [[Discussion Forums]]. There is very little activity at the [http://forums.makeopensource.com/ The Unofficial OpenMoko Forums], but others forums are more busy.

== Discussion boards ==
See [[Discussion Boards]].

== Git Servers ==

The new official set of repositories for [[OpenEmbedded]] as well as Linux [[kernel]], X.org and other used projects can be found at http://git.openmoko.org/, browsable via gitweb. Nowadays (2009 ->) the only active ones are qi, kernel and xf86-video-glamo.git. Everything else has moved to respective upstreams (like git.openembedded.net / [[OpenEmbedded]]).

To get write access to git.openmoko.org, see instructions on using trac to ask for access in the mailing list post http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/004563.html.

The git repositories use gitosis. If you have read & write access to the repositories, asked via the link above, see guide on how to eg. checkout at http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/2009-February/004718.html. For example: ''git clone git+ssh://git@git.openmoko.org/kernel''.

=== Personal repositories and branches ===

Some members of the community have published their copy of the openmoko repository with private or not-yet-applied changes.

== Openmoko Inc. Internal Resources ==

There are some resources which are internal. This means that they are only available for internal developers of Openmoko Inc. The reason they are internal is either because they deal with information under NDA, or about business strategy. We kindly ask for your understanding that while we really try to be as open as possible, there are some topics which we have to discuss without public participation.

The internal systems have the domain ''*.internal.openmoko.org''.

== Projects Hosting ==

At http://projects.openmoko.org/ we have a GForge installation. Users can use this as hosting service for their contributed applications.

== Trac / Bug Reporting ==

Our bug ticketing and documentation system for software issues is available at http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/. This obsoleted the previously used bugzilla installation which was found at http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/.
Admin team has extra trac system: http://admin-trac.openmoko.org/trac/intertrac/.

== Wiki ==

This Wiki is our public wiki, http://wiki.openmoko.org/. You're already in it, if you're reading this. Due to continued defacements/spam we were forced to limit editing in this wiki to registered users which provide a working email address. Sorry for that.

====='''Period 2011-06-01 to 2011-08-31'''=====

Welcome to 2011-09-01 edition of the Openmoko Community Updates. Openmoko is a loosely bound group of people originating from the developers and users of the pioneering Neo1973 and Neo FreeRunner products from Openmoko Inc. Nowadays most efforts are around free software distributions for a range of mobile phones, including the original Neo products. There are also several spin-off companies inspired by the Openmoko Inc's work.

== Hardware ==

* Video of the [[Freerunner_Navigation_Board_v3]] production posted @ YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngyhKr3yTO8

* [http://projects.goldelico.com/p/gta04-main/ GTA04] has now several early adopter boards with UMTS and OMAP3 hardware functional. Stay tuned for this motherboard update to original Neo phones.

== Distributions ==

Distributions lists releases and other significant updates in distributions that have some support for the Openmoko devices.

{{DistributionBox|
Name=Debian GNU/Linux |
Description=[[Debian]] is a universal operating system used on many embedded devices, servers and home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's ARM(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in. 
General news:
 
* Debian is again installable with the install.sh script, thanks to a new kernel and some testing. See http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner for more details
* FreeSmartphone.Org's FSO2 is making it into Debian finally, thanks to fabulous work by Rico Rommel and others. Most of it is already in: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-fso-maint/2011-August/004321.html
* FSO2 also means a start of support for many new phones like ''Palm Pre'', ''Nokia N900'', ''Nexus One'' and others that have at least some support in fso-deviced
* A new 2.6.34 kernel was released into the pkg-fso repository, required by all Neo FreeRunner users that have upgraded to Debian unstable's newest udev version. It includes the wire_up_sys_accept4.patch.
* Enlightenment 17 (E17) has seen several updates, but the Python bindings still lag behind and the needed versions are only available in the experimental repository
* omhacks 0.15 uploaded, most noticeable change: Fix error handling of om_sysfs_readfile

== Rules for community updates ==
After May 22nd 2009 OM stopped working on community updates. These rules are here to make it possible for the community to keep the updates running.

The draft of the news will be listed here but not on the main page until it gets released. (example, see [[Community Updates/Draft]] ). Upon the release of the current updates a new page should be created. The news will be added there. On release, the link will be set on the main page. Detailed instructions below.

'''Adding news'''
# Don't expect someone else to add it, add it yourself and make it nice
# Add links to blog posts, applications, mailing list posts that you think are worth to announce to the whole community

'''Releasing'''
# If it's The Release Date and you notice the news has not been released, DO IT! Don't expect someone else to do it for you.
# When you release, move the content of Talk: page to the actual wikipage.
# Add a link to the released update page to http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Community_Updates
# Prepare the draft page for the next community news: captions, dates etc.. Releasing news on Thursdays every two weeks sound's good to me.
# Send a post to the community mailing list with the link to the released news and the draft of the next news.

= Ramp up to launch series =

Even though Openmoko strives to keep the community informed of the development progress, Openmoko does not provide delivery dates. Instead, Openmoko Inc. reports and discusses the project on a day to day basis, using the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/ openmoko-community mailing list]. Developers will wish to follow the progress on the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/ openmoko-kernel mailing list] and the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/ devel mailing list]. Major updates notices are sent to the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/ announce mailing list].

As FreeRunners started shipping, that series of Community Updates mostly related to the expected release date has been taken over by a more community-oriented newsletter.

TimoJyrinki: putting somewhere the link to kernel cross-compiling instructions

* Homepage: http://iki.fi/tjyrinki/
* Founder of [http://ubuntu-fi.org/ Ubuntu Finland], Debian Developer, translator in Gnome, Ubuntu, Pidgin etc.

= My Debian =

When setting up my second FreeRunner to use [[Debian]], I took care to document how I had ended up with the Debian system I've been using. At the same time, I made some of my ugly hacks a bit less ugly. I have been also working on packaging the software I use in Debian, if they are not available there (like literki, woosh).

== Notes on What I've Changed More Recently ==
[[Image:Debian10.png|240px|right|thumb|Zhone running in full screen, literki keyboard swiped to be visible]]
[[Image:Debian11.png|240px|right|thumb|AUX button brings up a very fast, finger usable menu for application switching, screen locking etc. Moko GTK theme from Openmoko archives speeds up rendering.]]
[[Image:Debian9.png|240px|right|thumb|Second page of the tihos app. Hardware switches (gprs, wlan, usb host mode) etc.]]

The instructions at the bottom of the page were a one-time effort in March 2010. After that I've done a great deal of changes, so they are not up to date what I'm using. Nevertheless, they will certainly contain interesting information to start making Your Debian instead.

''' Current File System '''

I've switched to three partitions. A very small ext2 boot partition, 1.5GB ext4 partition for main Debian and the rest of the 8GB as ext4 for data (maps, music, etc.). Boot partition is ext2 because Qi doesn't support ext4.

''' Current Hardware Control '''

The instructions used openmoko-panel-plugin as an example, but in reality I prefer finger usable applications so at the time I used a heavily modified, but alas [http://www.freeyourphone.de/portal_v1/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=295&p=17308#p17308 non-free / freedom uncertain] mokoservices.py.

I have now written a hackish, but fast C application of my own to handle both screen lock, application switching (getting rid of matchbox top bar) and hardware control as used to be provided by mokoservices.py and openmoko-panel-plugin. Unlike my previous very simple neolockscreen, it's "always on" and therefore appears instantly on the screen. It is not very ready for general consumption, but I love it myself :P Sources are GPLv3, I have not had time to polish / make it less awful for a while. http://users.tkk.fi/~tajyrink/moko/tihos-0.00_UNRELEASED_20110119.tar.bz2

''' Current Theme '''

GTK: I've switched from Darklooks theme to original "Moko" theme that was developed for Om2007.2. Sources for it can be found [http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/OM-2007.2/libraries/moko-gtk-engine/ in svn] ([http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/browser/trunk/src/target/OM-2007.2/libraries/moko-gtk-engine browse], [http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/Om2008.8/armv4t/ binaries]) repositories. The benefit is tremendously faster GTK button display.

Matchbox: No top bar anymore, tihos gives full control to switching and closing windows. Likewise, I'm not using fbpanel anymore either, all applications are full screen.

Zhone: I've modified the default zhone theme with edje_decc and edje_cc tools so that I've changed the background and made all icons black-and-white.


'''Current Phone Stack '''

NEW 10/2010:

I've now finally upgraded my main (daily) FreeRunner phone to current stack in Debian 6.0 (squeeze) + pkg-fso without breaking anything! "Current" meaning still FSO1 (fso-frameworkd, not fso-gsmd et cetera), but still 1-1.5 years newer than before.

Earlier my attempts at upgrading resulted in not registering into network and no time to debug what went wrong - even if at the same time the same stack worked on my other, development FreeRunner.

I'm still doing my own tweaks to mixer settings, but otherwise using all defaults, including frameworkd.conf - except that I also uncommented the fso-abyss line there since it seems to work as well and is the newer muxer.

OLD INFO:

The instructions install the default Debian FreeSmartphone.Org stack, ie. the latest one that has been packaged. I however use older one myself, which is roughly the one that used to be in official Debian squeeze repositories in 2009. It has its own problems, but in the "real use Neo" I've had more problems when I've tried to upgrade, so I've stayed at one that mostly works (but occasionally needs restart). The binaries I have in use:

* fso-frameworkd_0.8.5.1-1_all.deb
* fso-usaged_0.9.1+git20091016-2_armel.deb
* libgsm0710-0_1.2.0-1_armel.deb
* libgsm0710mux0_0.9.0-1_armel.deb
* libfso-glib0_0.2.1-2_armel.deb
* libfsobasics0_0.8.9.9-1_armel.deb
* libfsoframework0_0.2.3.1-1_armel.deb
* libfsotransport0_0.9.5.9-1_armel.deb

''' Note on Keyboard Setup '''

When writing the instructions, I did a last minute change to .keylaunchrc when my Debian sid had for some reason weird bindings to the physical buttons. The "Down" binding obviously causes other problems when trying to move downwards with the keyboard... so in practice you should do some keyboard reconfiguration magic (sorry, I'm not sure what I did) and remove the Down binding from .keylaunchrc

''' Cross-compiling own kernel '''

Just in case the pkg-fso kernel is not enough for you: http://paste.debian.net/120048/

== Installation 03/2010 ==

The instructions are divided in three sections, the two first (Nice and Ugly) you are probably quite interested in. The Bad thing is needed as well by the other configuration but you may choose to compile the software yourself. This series of commands and configuration is aimed for people who wish to have similar setup, or simply learn potentially very useful things if the default Debian setup is too dull. The images show a running setup.

[[Image:Debian_timo1.png|240px|right|thumb|Zhone, openmoko-panel-plugin and fbpanel menu]]
[[Image:Debian_timo2.png|240px|right|thumb|TangoGPS, Literki keyboard and matchbox window switcher]]

These instructions were written in March 2010. I like my current setup more, read about changes done after these above.

'''The Nice Part'''

Install Debian: http://wiki.debian.org/DebianOnFreeRunner

Boot Neo, bring up the keyboard with AUX and then:
<pre>
# ctrl-alt-x to bring up terminal
passwd
# select your root password
</pre>

Now you can connect to Neo from your desktop as root.
<pre>
# Now attach the USB cable and check that connection between your desktop and Neo works.

ssh root@192.168.0.202
# Fix PATH
echo export PATH=$PATH:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin >> /root/.bashrc
exit
ssh root@192.168.0.202

# If you installed with TASKS="ALL", the following should already be
# installed:
# wicd, navit, tangogps, midori, pidgin, mokomaze
apt-get install wicd navit tangogps midori pidgin mokomaze
# intone as E17 dependent only in sid
# gnome-bluetooth did not install from testing as well at the moment
apt-get install intone gnome-bluetooth

# Settle down for more stable stuff
sed -i '/experimental/d' /etc/apt/sources.list
sed -i 's/sid/testing/' /etc/apt/sources.list
apt-get update

# More of my setup
apt-get install fbpanel literki woosh mtpaint neon leafpad abiword gnumeric \
xserver-xorg-video-glamo synaptic gnome-games lxterminal libgtkstylus \
gnome-themes-extras keylaunch omhacks gpsd

# Add gpsd device
sed -i 's/DEVICES=""/DEVICES="\/dev\/ttySAC1"/' /etc/default/gpsd

# Take glamo into use
sed -i 's/fbdev/glamo/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf

exit
</pre>

'''The Ugly Part'''

The Ugly and Bad parts are about transferring and unpacking ready-made files to Neo. Please grab the files containing configuration and binaries from:

http://users.tkk.fi/~tajyrink/moko/mydebian/

<pre>
# Transfer the stuff needed in Ugly and Bad parts to Neo and SSH in
# (of course, you can also wget them directly at Neo)
scp custom_config.tar.gz custom_binaries.tar.gz fbpanel_5.6-1_armel.deb root@192.168.0.202:

ssh root@192.168.0.202
mv /root/.xsession /root/.xsession.debianoriginal

# "Ok" changes, human-readable files and an image. My copyrighted under either
# original license (if modified from upstream) or BSD.
tar -C / -z -x -v -f custom_config.tar.gz
</pre>

Files in custom_config.tar.gz explained:
* ''/etc/literki'': my literki configuration which diminishes the active area to not overlap with Zhone's bottom right buttons, adds ä,ö,å letters and adds another "X" behind Fn which closes current window
* ''/root/.fbpanel/default'': my fbpanel configuration, cat for details. Note that Debian logo menu's active area is four times the width of the actual (visible) icon.
* ''/root/helpers'': quite a stub directory, but in reality I have loads of stuff here and have added it to path
* ''/root/.gtkrc-2.0'': setting Darklooks theme into use
* ''/root/.keylaunchrc'': my personal keylock application to AUX and suspend helper to Power button
* ''/root/.panel-pluginrc'': openmoko-panel-plugin customization and disabling of the problematic buttons plugin
* ''/root/.xsession'': this is the big one importance-wise, crude hacks to have fbpanel and literki nicely behaving among else. quite well commented.
* ''/root/debian-swirl.png'': Debian logo
* ''/usr/local/bin'': fbpanel, literki and lockscreen helpers
* ''/usr/share/themes/NeoSpecial'': my matchbox theme

'''The Bad Part'''

This is the really bad stuff, binaries from random source (me)! Luckily you can compile these three pieces of software easily yourself as well, although that means you need to install development environment on the Neo as well.

<pre>
# Bad changes:
# - literki compiled with 02_optional_reduce_to_plain_keyboard.patch that
# I've included in the Debian literki packaging sources: apt-get source literki
# - neolockscreen, sources at
# http://users.tkk.fi/~tajyrink/moko/neolockscreen.tar.gz
tar -C / -z -x -v -f custom_binaries.tar.gz

# From upstream tarball, http://fbpanel.sourceforge.net/, with checkinstall
dpkg -i fbpanel_5.6-1_armel.deb
</pre>
----
<pre>
poweroff

# Boot!
</pre>

The draft of the news will be listed here but not on the main page until it gets released. (example, see [[Community Updates/Draft]] ). Upon the release of the current updates a new page should be created. The news will be added there. On release, the link will be set on the main page. Detailed instructions below.

'''Adding news'''
# Don't expect someone else to add it, add it yourself and make it nice
# Add links to blog posts, applications, mailing list posts that you think are worth to announce to the whole community

'''Releasing'''
# If it's The Release Date and you notice the news has not been released, DO IT! Don't expect someone else to do it for you.
# When you release, move the content of Talk: page to the actual wikipage.
# Add a link to the released update page to http://wiki.openmoko.org/index.php?title=Community_Updates
# Prepare the draft page for the next community news: captions, dates etc.. Releasing news on Thursdays every two weeks sound's good to me.
# Send a post to the community mailing list with the link to the released news and the draft of the next news.

Even though Openmoko strives to keep the community informed of the development progress, Openmoko does not provide delivery dates. Instead, Openmoko Inc. reports and discusses the project on a day to day basis, using the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/ openmoko-community mailing list]. Developers will wish to follow the progress on the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/openmoko-kernel/ openmoko-kernel mailing list] and the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/devel/ devel mailing list]. Major updates notices are sent to the [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/announce/ announce mailing list].

As FreeRunners started shipping, that series of Community Updates mostly related to the expected release date has been taken over by a more community-oriented newsletter.
