== User Provided tested SIM pictures ==

[[Image:ATT_3G_71234D_SIM.JPG|left|thumb|200px|AT&T 3G 71234 D]]

Base on community post:

The 71324 is the SKU for the AT&T latest UICC.
The 2022 is the Vendor and Version number.

Some cards the vendor numbers are
2 - G&D
3 - Gemalto
4 - Oberthur

Usually user will get CME ERROR 13 (sim failure), rather than CME ERROR 10 (sim not inserted) when 3G SIM not working.

CME ERROR: 32 is Network not allowed, emergency calls only, might because the card not activated.

== The Error ==
<pre>
Here is the AT command:

== Working and not working AT&T card ==

* Some AT&T cards have same vendor/ID number, but different contacts (Josh posted at 2008/8/24), following image shows that card that working (right) and not working (left) one.

[[Image:ATT_simcards_small.jpg]]

Also, AT&T's new SIM card (left) will work with the Freerunner. It has been tested on om2008. On right is the same non-working SIM as the one shown in the above picture.

Base on community post:

The 71324 is the SKU for the AT&T latest UICC.
The 2022 is the Vendor and Version number.

Some cards the vendor numbers are
2 - G&D
3 - Gemalto
4 - Oberthur

Usually user will get CME ERROR 13 (sim failure), rather than CME ERROR 10 (sim not inserted) when 3G SIM not working.

CME ERROR: 32 is Network not allowed, emergency calls only, might because the card not activated.

<h1>Andrew's Total Newbie Guide</h1>

These are my collected instructions for getting various FreeRunner features to work. I don't know much about FreeRunner or coding, so please forgive the numerous mistakes.

<h1>Getting the Freerunner working as a Phone</h1>

date: Feb 2009

These guide is intended for people who just want to get their Freerunner working as a phone. I tried every distribution available in Jan 2009 and I will summarize my results for anyone who is interested.

<h2>Get a working SIM card</h2>

First, make sure that your SIM card works with the Freerunner. Go to the [[Carriers]] page, find your country and carrier, and check what people have said about their SIM cards. My original SIM card did not work (Canada/Rogers) but Rogers kindly replaced it with a supported SIM.

<h2>Install Qt Extended</h2>

The software that was on my FreeRunner when I received it was not functional as a phone. It wouldn't wake from suspend when it received a call. Sometimes it spontaneously rebooted. Often it just wouldn't turn on at all and I had to remove the battery. Fortunately there are many distributions available for the FreeRunner. This is one of the great things about open projects: you get to choose what software to run. The bad thing is that some choices are better than others for certain tasks, and it is not always clear what to use for each function. I have tested every distribution available in January 2009, and in my opinion the best distribution for using your Freerunner as a phone is [[Qtopia_/_Qt_Extended_on_FreeRunner|Qt Extended]], which is the Free version of Trolltech's QTopia (used on the Sharp Zaurus and some other devices).

You must download the Qt Extended kernel and rootfs and flash them to your Freerunner. First read through[[Flashing_the_Neo_FreeRunner]] page. Whatever OS you use on your desktop/laptop, you will need the dfu command line utility to copy the kernel and rootfs to your Freerunner. For most of my coding work I use Mac OS X, but for FreeRunner hacking I find it much easier to reboot into Ubuntu.

Next download the kernel and rootfs to your workstation. Here's a link to the [http://other.lastnetwork.net/OpenMoko/qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2 rootfs] created by Hypnotize. And here's the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=91 mwebster flash image] containing the kernel. Boot your FreeRunner in dfu mode and use the dfu commands:

desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a kernel -R -D uImage-gta02-mwester-stable-d6f9fd270943fb22.bin

... stuff ...

desktop# dfu-util -d 0x1d50:0x5119 -a rootfs -R -D qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-release-working-with-SystemRingTones.jffs2

... more stuff ...

<h2>Qt Extended isn't Perfect</h2>

<h3>The White Screen of Death (WSOD)</h3>

Sometimes when Qt Extended recovers from suspend you see a bright white screen. You don't have a phone anymore - you have a flashlight. Hold the power button down for about five seconds to power down the phone, then power it back up.

<h3>Official Documentation</h3>

The official documentation for Qt Extended is at [http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/ Trolltech's website]. But it is mostly about how to develop applications, it doesn't have much info on how to actually use qtopia.

<h3>Booting Qt Extended</h3>

Disconnect the USB cable before booting Qt Extended. Don't know why, but my FreeRunner often hangs if I boot with the USB cable plugged in.

<h3>Short Battery Life</h3>

My battery life is less than five hours which kinda sucks.

<h3>Adding New Media</h3>

Secure shell to the FreeRunner and create a Documents directory in /home/root. Then secure copy media files to /home/root/Documents. In Qt Extended use the File Manager to browse your Documents directory (might have to do a rescan from the options menu). If you have a working /media/card directory then you might be able to put files in there.

As far as I can tell, Qt Extended plays ogg, wav and <b>some</b> mp3. Note that some of my mp3 files played but others didn't. I converted all my mp3s to ogg using ogg2mp3 just to be safe.

<h3>Wireless networking</h3>

You must secure shell to your Freerunner to configure wireless networking. Fix the /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf and /etc/network/interfaces files then use <tt>ifup eth0</tt>.

<h1>Networking</h1>

<h2>Changing the Default Route</h2>

Every time I connect the USB cable FreeRunner changes the default route to 192.168.0.200 interface usb0. Which is a pain in the butt, because I prefer to keep the wifi as my default gateway. I think this is caused by the line "gateway 192.168.0.200" in /etc/network/interfaces. The obvious fix is to remove that line. If you default route is buggered up, here are the instructions to change default route:

freerunner# route delete default gateway 192.168.0.200
freerunner# route add default gateway 192.168.3.1

<h1>Qt Extended SDK</h1>

<h2>Introduction</h2>

It would be nice to write some custom apps. Also, there are Qtopia apps available on the interweb, but the binaries are all for Zaurus. It would be nice to compile them for FreeRunner.

There is a VMWare image of the SDK available for 4.3.2, but not for 4.4.2. So I have to compile the Qt Extended SDK from source. These instructions are based on Jim Morris' [http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2008/08/27/porting-xgps-to-qtopia-for-the-freerunner excellent article]. I know that doing everything as root is a grave sin, but I'm too busy fixing bugs in the Qt Extended build to fiddle with permissions too.

My platform is a Macbook (Santa Rosa) running Ubuntu Intrepid.

<h2>Compiling the Qt Extended SDK</h2>

Download the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=97 SDK source] and [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=38 toolchain] from [http://qtextended.org qtextended.org]. Change directory to your machine's root directory then untar the toolchain - it will install itself to /opt/toolchains. Next create <tt>/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2</tt> and <tt>/opt/QtopiaSDK/build</tt> directories. Unpack the Qt extended SDK source to <tt>/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2</tt>. Set a pair of environment variables as follows:

desktop# export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2
desktop# export QPEDIR=/opt/QtopiaSDK/build/qt-extended-4.4.2

Next download a pair of patches from mwester's openmoko stuff: [http://moko.mwester.net/download/pkg-config-template.patch pkg-config-template.patch] and [http://moko.mwester.net/download/qmemoryfile_unix_open_args.patch qmemoryfile_unix_open_args.patch]. Copy these to the qt-extended-4.4.2 source directory and execute these commands:

desktop# patch -p1 < qmemoryfile_unix_open_args.patch
desktop# patch -p1 < pkg-config-template.patch

Now change directory to the build directory. Execute the following:

desktop# cd $QPEDIR
desktop# $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/configure -device neo -D _FORTIFY_SOURCE=0
desktop# make
desktop# make install

The <tt>-device neo</tt> is good for both Neo and FreeRunner. The <tt>_FORTIFY_SOURCE=0</tt> turns off some extra error checking that is turned on by default in many linux distros but borks the qt extended build process.

There's still something wrong which will cause errors. I don't know exactly what is wrong, but I googled a fix. Find the file <tt>
qt-extended-4.4.1/devices/neo/configure-common</tt> and change the line:

-add-modules pim
to
#-add-modules pim

<h2>Compiling an Example Qt Extended App</h2>

First set those indispensable Qt environment variables:

desktop# export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2
desktop# export QPEDIR=/opt/QtopiaSDK/build/qt-extended-4.4.2

Next create a directory <tt>/opt/Qtopia/build/myapps</tt>. Copy the example app. Rename the example app to something that makes sense (how about "example"!). Create the <tt>Makefile</tt> and build the example.

desktop# mkdir /opt/Qtopia/build/myapps
desktop# cd /opt/Qtopia/build/myapps
desktop# cp -R $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/examples/application .
desktop# mv application example
desktop# cd example
desktop# $QPEDIR/bin/qtopiamake
Finding Projects...
Writing 1 Makefiles...
desktop# make
make: running qbuild default
uic /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/examplebase.ui
moc /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/main.cpp
moc /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example.h
arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/.moc/moc_example.cpp
arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/main.cpp
moc /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example.cpp
arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example.cpp
arm-linux-g++ /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/application/example

Now you have an executable <tt>example</tt>. Of course, it won't execute on your workstation, you must secure copy it to your FreeRunner. Then secure shell into the FreeRunner, import the Qtopia environment variables and execute the app:

desktop# scp example root@freerunner:/home/rootroot@192.168.3.111's password:
example 100% 33KB 33.4KB/s 00:00
desktop# ssh 192.168.3.111
root@freerunner's password:
freerunner:~# . /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/qpe.env
freerunner:~# ./example

You should see a message on FreeRunner's LCD.

[[Image:Qt_extended_sdk_example_screenshot.png]]

<h1>Creating up a Qtopia Feed</h1>

A qtopia feed is just a web directory containing package files and a packages.list file. I will assume that you already have a web server set up with <tt>DocumentRoot /var/www</tt>. The real trick is building packages and a packages.list file. As usual, we start by defining our environment variables.

desktop# export QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH=/opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2
desktop# export QPEDIR=/opt/QtopiaSDK/build/qt-extended-4.4.2
desktop# export HTTPDIR=/var/www/neo
desktop# mkdir /var/www/neo

We need another variable, HTTPDIR, to tell the tools where our feed will be located. And we need to make the directory. Next build the package for our example:

desktop# cd /opt/QtopiaSDK/build/myapps/example
desktop# make packages
desktop# /opt/QtopiaSDK/qt-extended-4.4.2/bin/mkPackages $HTTPDIR

Woohoo! That's it!

Now you can go to the Software Package setup tool and create a new feed. My feed's URL is [http://radagast.bglug.ca/neo http://radagast.bglug.ca/neo].

Qtopia / Qt Extended on FreeRunner

2009-02-06T22:28:18Z

Xc8: non compatible app with 4.4.x

{{Languages|Qtopia_on_FreeRunner}}

This page provides instructions on how to install Qtopia/Qt Extended (proper, not the [[ASU]] or [[QtopiaOnX11]] efforts) on the GTA02 (FreeRunner) phone. It is similar to the [[Qtopia on Neo1973]] page.

__TOC__

== Current status ==

On 31 October 2008, Trolltech released the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=98 Qtopia ROM flash image containing the rootfs] for the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner (gta02) containing the Qtopia 4.4.2 release (GPL version). This runs on the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=91 mwebster ROM flash image containing the kernel]. At release time, 4.4.2 & current mwester's kernel mismatched, please clarify the previous sentence. Hypnotize has released [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-November/035245.html Qt Extended 4.4.2 images for the Neo FreeRunner] that work better.

This image can successfully make and receive calls and text messages. It can read all contacts from the SIM card (which the updated 2007.2 does not appear to be able to do). It contains apps that appear to be more stable than the ones found in the 2007.2 image. It has multiple input methods that appear to be more mature. It does have a webkit based web browser and an GPS "Mapping Demo" application.

There are other third-party GPS applications available:
* [http://blog.wolfman.com/articles/2008/08/27/porting-xgps-to-qtopia-for-the-freerunner xgps] (/!\ non-compatible with 4.4.x --[[User:Xc8|Xc8]] 22:28, 6 February 2009 (UTC))
* [http://www.linux4.be/fr/roadmap.html RoadMap (experimental)]

([[TangoGPS]] does not work on QtExtended, because it depends upon an Xserver)

You can find all the Qtopia images [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=6 here] (including Qtextended/Qtopia 4.4 for FreeRunner and Neo1973!)

'''What is in the latest release (QtExtended 4.4.2)?'''

Qtopia 4.4 has been released with the name of [http://doc.trolltech.com/qtextended4.4/release-4-4-2.html QtExtended 4.4].

== Installation ==

=== Installation option 1: Flash Qtopia to FreeRunner ===

Download the image mentioned above, then follow the instructions in the {{Main|Flashing the Neo FreeRunner}}

=== Installation option 2: Install Qtopia on a microSD card ===

Installation Requirements:

# SSH shell access to the FreeRunner through USB interface or WLAN.
# A Desktop Linux distro (to unpack the .jffs2 image, I ran Ubuntu under VMWare)

==== Prepare the SD card ====

See the [[Booting from SD#Prepare the SD card| Preparing the SD Card]] section of the [[Booting from SD]] page for partitioning and formatting instructions. After you complete the "Formatting the SD Card" steps, return here and execute the following:

<pre>
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card
mkdir /media/card/boot

mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2
</pre>

This will set you up properly for the installation of the root filesystem and the kernel in the steps below.

==== Unpack the Qtopia Root Filesystem Image ====

Download the Qtopia FLASH image from [[Latest Images#Qtopia images]] to your Linux box and extract its contents:

tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-*.tgz

You should now have two files:
#uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
#qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.jffs2
Now, mount the root file system from the jffs2 using the commands found [[Userspace root image#Mounting the JFFS2 image on a loop back device (Block Memory MTD Emulation) |here]]. However, in the mount command, substitute the image filename for "/dev/mtdblock0".

==== Create a compressed tarball ====

Next, tar up the root filesystem:

# tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -C <mountpoint> .

Where ''<mountpoint>'' is the location where the jff2 filesystem was mounted. Note the space and the period after the mountpoint.

==== Install the root filesystem ====

Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the MicroSD that is mounted on the FreeRunner:

scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz root@192.168.0.202:/media/mmcblk0p2/

Log in to your FreeRunner and unpack the root filesystem:

<pre>
cd /media/mmcblk0p2
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*
</pre>

'''''Note:''''' the last step removes the kernel image from the second partition. For some reason, U-Boot cannot find the uImage.bin file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory.

==== Install the kernel ====

From your Linux box, rename <tt>uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin</tt> to <tt>uImage.bin</tt> and copy it to the boot directory on the first partition of the MicroSD card. Depending on the version of U-Boot you have installed, this may not work. To prevent any possible issues, copy it to the <tt>/media/card</tt> directory as well. There is plenty of room on the first partition to have <tt>uImage.bin</tt> in both locations.

Some versions of u-boot look for <B>uImage</B> and not <b>uImage.bin</b> you may have to remove the .bin extension to get it to boot.

<pre>
mv uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin
scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/boot/
scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/
</pre>

==== Tell Qtopia it is running from the SD Card ====

Lorn Potter on the mailing lists pointed this out:

Qtopia was designed to be run from the root partition on a flash chip, not from a removable sd card.

You would have to edit the etc/default/Trolltech/Storage.conf file to make it forget about the sd /dev node, to be able to run it this way

Another user's solution to this is the following:

Edit this file: /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/Storage.conf (the file path seems to have changed to /opt/Trolltech in newer versions)
And change the [MountPoint0] section so it resembles this:
<pre>
[MountPoint0]
Name[] = SD Card
Path=/dev/mmcblk0p1
Removable = 0
Applications = 0
Documents = 0
ContentDatabase = 0
</pre>

=== Installation option 3: alternative procedure to install Qtopia on a microSD card ===

As in option 2, the goal is to install Qtopia on a microSD card.
We describe the complete procedure using:

* Ubuntu 8.10
* SanDisk microSD to USB adapter
* Qt Extended 4.4.2 2008/10/31

==== Format the microSD card ====

The first step is to create an 8 MB partition for the kernel and use the remaining space for the root file system. Proceed as follows:

Insert microSD card into adapter, and plug adapter into Ubuntu computer. If any partitions on the microSD card mount automatically, unmount them.

CAUTION: Make sure you know which device your microSD card is. You don't want to perform these steps on your main hard disk!

<pre>
sudo umount /dev/sdb1

sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
</pre>

I assume you know how to use fdisk. Delete any existing partitions, then create two new partitions, the first of size +8M, the second using all remaining space. Set the file system type of the first partition to FAT16 (type '6'). Your partition table should look like this:

<pre>
/dev/sdb1 1 9 9040+ 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb2 10 984 982800 83 Linux
</pre>

Save your partition table and quit fdisk. Format the partitions appropriately:

<pre>
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2
</pre>

==== Download the latest Qt Extended ====

Visit [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=6:Qtopia] and get the appropriate file. The Qtopia ROM flash images contain both the file system and the kernel image:

<pre>
wget http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=98
tar -zxvf qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-flash.tgz
</pre>

==== Copy the kernel image to the microSD card ====

First mount the first partition, which is the boot partition, of the microSD card, and make a /boot subdirectory:

<pre>
sudo mkdir /media/card
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/card
sudo mkdir /media/card/boot
</pre>

Depending on your version of U-Boot, the kernel image might be expected at the root of the boot partition, or in the /boot directory. Also, the image file name might be expected to have a .bin extension, or not. We create all four variations:

<pre>
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/uImage.bin
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/uImage
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/boot/uImage.bin
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/boot/uImage
</pre>

Wait for data to be written to the microSD card and unmount the first partition:

<pre>
sync
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
</pre>

==== Copy the jffs2 root file system to the microSD card ====

That step is a bit complicated. First we need to make a fake MTD device in RAM so that we can mount the jffs2 root file system:

<pre>
sudo modprobe mtd
sudo modprobe jffs2
sudo modprobe mtdram total_size=59024 # default is 4 MByte - set to max.
sudo modprobe mtdchar
sudo modprobe mtdblock
</pre>

Next we're going to copy onto this fake device. Make sure there are no other MTD devices on your computer and change the device numbers below as necessary:

<pre>
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 039a4000 00020000 "mtdram test device"
</pre>

Now copy the jffs2 file system to the fake MTD device:

<pre>
sudo dd if=qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-10302135.jffs2 of=/dev/mtd0
</pre>

Create a mount point, mount the fake MTD device, and check that the content seems right:

<pre>
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp
sudo mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/tmp
ls /mnt/tmp
bin/ dev/ home/ media/ opt/ sbin/ tmp@ var/
boot/ etc/ lib/ mnt/ proc/ sys/ usr/
</pre>

Mount the second partition of the microSD card and copy the root file system to it:
copy root file system to sd card using tar

<pre>
sudo mkdir /media/rootfs
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/rootfs
cd /mnt/tmp
sudo tar -cf - . | (cd /media/rootfs && sudo tar -xpvf -)
</pre>

Warnings about "implausibly old time stamp" don't seem to cause any trouble.

Use "sync" to make sure that all data is written to the microSD card:

<pre>
sync
</pre>

Inspect contents of second partition:

<pre>
ls /media/rootfs
bin/ dev/ home/ media/ opt/ sbin/ tmp@ var/
boot/ etc/ lib/ mnt/ proc/ sys/ usr/
</pre>

Note: There was a report that some versions of U-Boot cannot find the kernel image file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory. I have not confirmed this but there is no need for it so it seems safest to delete it now:

<pre>
sudo rm -f /media/rootfs/boot/*
</pre>

Wait for data to be written to the microSD card and unmount the second partition:

<pre>
sync
sudo umount /dev/sdb2
</pre>

==== Test Qtopia ====

Remove the microSD card from the USB adapter, install it in the Neo FreeRunner, boot into U-Boot, and select the option to boot from microSD card.

=== Installation option 4: updating from source ===

{{note|This will upgrade only opt/Qtopia directory, you should use opkg update/upgrade for the rest}}
Original Qtopia images (the distribution released by Trolltech, not ASU) are rarely released as a rootfs image, but the source code is often updated. If you want to reflash your OM with the latest version of Qtopia you might build it from sources. This has been explained in [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-August/024785.html this thread] of the community mailing list. Summing up:

==== Download files ====
* get the latest toolchain released by trolltech: http://www.qtopia.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=38 and unzip it on your PC (as root)
<pre>
cd /
wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
tar xvzf arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
</pre>

* get the latest snapshot from trolltech: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/

Since qtopia was renamed in qtextended you could find the snapshots on http://qtextended.org/downloads/snapshots/

* once dowloaded untar it
<pre>tar xvzf qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806.tar.gz</pre>

==== Build Qtopia ====
* make a "build" dir
<pre>
mkdir build
cd build
</pre>

* configure and make:
<pre>../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806/configure -device ficgta01
make
</pre>
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:
<pre>
make install
</pre>
will make a root directory into the ''build'' directory. There you can find an ''image'' that directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.

For compiling qt-extended 4.4.2, you may need to use the following commands:
<pre>
* cd build
* $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/configure -device neo -verbose -build-qt -force-build-qt
* bin/qbuild image
</pre>

This forces building qt as well which resolved problems with the qbuild test using all the system ram.

==== Booting into Qtopia ====

Now shutdown the FreeRunner

shutdown -h now

Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from [[Booting the Neo FreeRunner]])

* Press and hold Power button
* Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
* A boot menu will appear.
* Press the AUX button to select "[[Boot from sd card|Boot from MicroSD]]" and then press the Power button to execute.

Qtopia should now boot.

'''''Note:''''' you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run

umount /dev/mmcblk0p2
fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2

This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.

=== Internationalization ===

Qtopia comes with support for German and American English, and users from other countries will find that Qtopia's predictive keyboard makes writing in another language near impossible. One way to disable the predictive keyboard is to simply replace /opt/Qtopia/etc/dict/en_US/common.dawg and words.dawg with empty files (after backing them up). Qtopia normally looks in these files for words to suggest, and if it doesn't find any words that fit, it simply shows what you actually wrote.

Adding characters to the keyboard requires modifications to the source code, as described [http://www.qtopia.net/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=512&forum=16 here].

=== Software packages feeds ===

Installation of more software packages with the package manager tool found the Settings folder needs servers, which offer these packages, like

* http://qtextended.org/packages/feed/4.4.1/neo (default)
* ...

Install packages into Qt extended through the package manager, which only allows packages via web servers, seems to be the only way at the moment.
(No way to download a package seperately and install the file.)

== Bugs ==

See [http://trolltech.org/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=front Trolltech's tracker] ([http://trolltech.org/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=advsearch&searchstr=&bugs=on&sugs=on&product=2&functionalarea=&versionfound=&versionfixed=&priority=-1&status=0&resolution=-1 Qtopia Tracker]).

Bug reports should be sent to qt-bugs@trolltech.com or by web form at http://trolltech.com/bugreport-form.

=== Suspend /Resume ===
It seems that suspend/resume only works when the FreeRunner has been connected to a powersource (only a few seconds if sufficient). If you boot from battery, it will never suspend until you have plugged it in at least for a couple of seconds.

=== Bugs in 4.4.1 ===
* Boot and Shutdown Splash will not work because splash-write was not compiled into Busybox
* Timezone & time on latest Qt 4.4.1
* The first item in a list is missing the top half

=== Bugs in 4.4.2 ===
* Cannot connect to a WPA protected WLAN, because wpa_supplicant of the previous connection is left running. Try a [http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=241864 fixed /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/lan-network script].

This page provides instructions on how to install Qtopia/Qt Extended (proper, not the [[ASU]] or [[QtopiaOnX11]] efforts) on the GTA02 (FreeRunner) phone. It is similar to the [[Qtopia on Neo1973]] page.

__TOC__

== Current status ==

On 31 October 2008, Trolltech released the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=98 Qtopia ROM flash image containing the rootfs] for the Openmoko Neo FreeRunner (gta02) containing the Qtopia 4.4.2 release (GPL version). This runs on the [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=91 mwebster ROM flash image containing the kernel]. At release time, 4.4.2 & current mwester's kernel mismatched, please clarify the previous sentence. Hypnotize has released [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-November/035245.html Qt Extended 4.4.2 images for the Neo FreeRunner] that work better.

This image can successfully make and receive calls and text messages. It can read all contacts from the SIM card (which the updated 2007.2 does not appear to be able to do). It contains apps that appear to be more stable than the ones found in the 2007.2 image. It has multiple input methods that appear to be more mature. It does have a webkit based web browser and an GPS "Mapping Demo" application.

There are other third-party GPS applications available:

* [http://www.linux4.be/fr/roadmap.html RoadMap (experimental)]

([[TangoGPS]] does not work on QtExtended, because it depends upon an Xserver)

You can find all the Qtopia images [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=6 here] (including Qtextended/Qtopia 4.4 for FreeRunner and Neo1973!)

'''What is in the latest release (QtExtended 4.4.2)?'''

== Installation ==

=== Installation option 1: Flash Qtopia to FreeRunner ===

Download the image mentioned above, then follow the instructions in the {{Main|Flashing the Neo FreeRunner}}

=== Installation option 2: Install Qtopia on a microSD card ===

Installation Requirements:

# SSH shell access to the FreeRunner through USB interface or WLAN.
# A Desktop Linux distro (to unpack the .jffs2 image, I ran Ubuntu under VMWare)

==== Prepare the SD card ====

See the [[Booting from SD#Prepare the SD card| Preparing the SD Card]] section of the [[Booting from SD]] page for partitioning and formatting instructions. After you complete the "Formatting the SD Card" steps, return here and execute the following:

<pre>
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card
mkdir /media/card/boot

mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2
mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2
</pre>

This will set you up properly for the installation of the root filesystem and the kernel in the steps below.

==== Unpack the Qtopia Root Filesystem Image ====

Download the Qtopia FLASH image from [[Latest Images#Qtopia images]] to your Linux box and extract its contents:

tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-*.tgz

You should now have two files:
#uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin
#qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.jffs2
Now, mount the root file system from the jffs2 using the commands found [[Userspace root image#Mounting the JFFS2 image on a loop back device (Block Memory MTD Emulation) |here]]. However, in the mount command, substitute the image filename for "/dev/mtdblock0".

==== Create a compressed tarball ====

Next, tar up the root filesystem:

# tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -C <mountpoint> .

Where ''<mountpoint>'' is the location where the jff2 filesystem was mounted. Note the space and the period after the mountpoint.

==== Install the root filesystem ====

Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the MicroSD that is mounted on the FreeRunner:

scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz root@192.168.0.202:/media/mmcblk0p2/

Log in to your FreeRunner and unpack the root filesystem:

<pre>
cd /media/mmcblk0p2
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz
rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*
</pre>

'''''Note:''''' the last step removes the kernel image from the second partition. For some reason, U-Boot cannot find the uImage.bin file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory.

==== Install the kernel ====

From your Linux box, rename <tt>uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin</tt> to <tt>uImage.bin</tt> and copy it to the boot directory on the first partition of the MicroSD card. Depending on the version of U-Boot you have installed, this may not work. To prevent any possible issues, copy it to the <tt>/media/card</tt> directory as well. There is plenty of room on the first partition to have <tt>uImage.bin</tt> in both locations.

Some versions of u-boot look for <B>uImage</B> and not <b>uImage.bin</b> you may have to remove the .bin extension to get it to boot.

<pre>
mv uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin
scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/boot/
scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/
</pre>

==== Tell Qtopia it is running from the SD Card ====

Lorn Potter on the mailing lists pointed this out:

Qtopia was designed to be run from the root partition on a flash chip, not from a removable sd card.

You would have to edit the etc/default/Trolltech/Storage.conf file to make it forget about the sd /dev node, to be able to run it this way

Another user's solution to this is the following:

Edit this file: /opt/Qtopia/etc/default/Trolltech/Storage.conf (the file path seems to have changed to /opt/Trolltech in newer versions)
And change the [MountPoint0] section so it resembles this:
<pre>
[MountPoint0]
Name[] = SD Card
Path=/dev/mmcblk0p1
Removable = 0
Applications = 0
Documents = 0
ContentDatabase = 0
</pre>

=== Installation option 3: alternative procedure to install Qtopia on a microSD card ===

As in option 2, the goal is to install Qtopia on a microSD card.
We describe the complete procedure using:

* Ubuntu 8.10
* SanDisk microSD to USB adapter
* Qt Extended 4.4.2 2008/10/31

==== Format the microSD card ====

The first step is to create an 8 MB partition for the kernel and use the remaining space for the root file system. Proceed as follows:

Insert microSD card into adapter, and plug adapter into Ubuntu computer. If any partitions on the microSD card mount automatically, unmount them.

CAUTION: Make sure you know which device your microSD card is. You don't want to perform these steps on your main hard disk!

<pre>
sudo umount /dev/sdb1

sudo fdisk /dev/sdb
</pre>

I assume you know how to use fdisk. Delete any existing partitions, then create two new partitions, the first of size +8M, the second using all remaining space. Set the file system type of the first partition to FAT16 (type '6'). Your partition table should look like this:

<pre>
/dev/sdb1 1 9 9040+ 6 FAT16
/dev/sdb2 10 984 982800 83 Linux
</pre>

Save your partition table and quit fdisk. Format the partitions appropriately:

<pre>
sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdb1
sudo mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb2
</pre>

==== Download the latest Qt Extended ====

Visit [http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=6:Qtopia] and get the appropriate file. The Qtopia ROM flash images contain both the file system and the kernel image:

<pre>
wget http://qtextended.org/modules/mydownloads/visit.php?lid=98
tar -zxvf qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-flash.tgz
</pre>

==== Copy the kernel image to the microSD card ====

First mount the first partition, which is the boot partition, of the microSD card, and make a /boot subdirectory:

<pre>
sudo mkdir /media/card
sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/card
sudo mkdir /media/card/boot
</pre>

Depending on your version of U-Boot, the kernel image might be expected at the root of the boot partition, or in the /boot directory. Also, the image file name might be expected to have a .bin extension, or not. We create all four variations:

<pre>
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/uImage.bin
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/uImage
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/boot/uImage.bin
sudo cp testing-om-gta02-20081029.uImage.bin /media/card/boot/uImage
</pre>

Wait for data to be written to the microSD card and unmount the first partition:

<pre>
sync
sudo umount /dev/sdb1
</pre>

==== Copy the jffs2 root file system to the microSD card ====

That step is a bit complicated. First we need to make a fake MTD device in RAM so that we can mount the jffs2 root file system:

<pre>
sudo modprobe mtd
sudo modprobe jffs2
sudo modprobe mtdram total_size=59024 # default is 4 MByte - set to max.
sudo modprobe mtdchar
sudo modprobe mtdblock
</pre>

Next we're going to copy onto this fake device. Make sure there are no other MTD devices on your computer and change the device numbers below as necessary:

<pre>
cat /proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 039a4000 00020000 "mtdram test device"
</pre>

Now copy the jffs2 file system to the fake MTD device:

<pre>
sudo dd if=qtextended-4.4.2-gta02-rootfs-10302135.jffs2 of=/dev/mtd0
</pre>

Create a mount point, mount the fake MTD device, and check that the content seems right:

<pre>
sudo mkdir /mnt/tmp
sudo mount -t jffs2 /dev/mtdblock0 /mnt/tmp
ls /mnt/tmp
bin/ dev/ home/ media/ opt/ sbin/ tmp@ var/
boot/ etc/ lib/ mnt/ proc/ sys/ usr/
</pre>

Mount the second partition of the microSD card and copy the root file system to it:
copy root file system to sd card using tar

<pre>
sudo mkdir /media/rootfs
sudo mount /dev/sdb2 /media/rootfs
cd /mnt/tmp
sudo tar -cf - . | (cd /media/rootfs && sudo tar -xpvf -)
</pre>

Warnings about "implausibly old time stamp" don't seem to cause any trouble.

Use "sync" to make sure that all data is written to the microSD card:

<pre>
sync
</pre>

Inspect contents of second partition:

<pre>
ls /media/rootfs
bin/ dev/ home/ media/ opt/ sbin/ tmp@ var/
boot/ etc/ lib/ mnt/ proc/ sys/ usr/
</pre>

Note: There was a report that some versions of U-Boot cannot find the kernel image file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory. I have not confirmed this but there is no need for it so it seems safest to delete it now:

<pre>
sudo rm -f /media/rootfs/boot/*
</pre>

Wait for data to be written to the microSD card and unmount the second partition:

<pre>
sync
sudo umount /dev/sdb2
</pre>

==== Test Qtopia ====

Remove the microSD card from the USB adapter, install it in the Neo FreeRunner, boot into U-Boot, and select the option to boot from microSD card.

=== Installation option 4: updating from source ===

{{note|This will upgrade only opt/Qtopia directory, you should use opkg update/upgrade for the rest}}
Original Qtopia images (the distribution released by Trolltech, not ASU) are rarely released as a rootfs image, but the source code is often updated. If you want to reflash your OM with the latest version of Qtopia you might build it from sources. This has been explained in [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-August/024785.html this thread] of the community mailing list. Summing up:

==== Download files ====
* get the latest toolchain released by trolltech: http://www.qtopia.net/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=38 and unzip it on your PC (as root)
<pre>
cd /
wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
tar xvzf arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
</pre>

* get the latest snapshot from trolltech: ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/

Since qtopia was renamed in qtextended you could find the snapshots on http://qtextended.org/downloads/snapshots/

* once dowloaded untar it
<pre>tar xvzf qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806.tar.gz</pre>

==== Build Qtopia ====
* make a "build" dir
<pre>
mkdir build
cd build
</pre>

* configure and make:
<pre>../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806/configure -device ficgta01
make
</pre>
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:
<pre>
make install
</pre>
will make a root directory into the ''build'' directory. There you can find an ''image'' that directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.

For compiling qt-extended 4.4.2, you may need to use the following commands:
<pre>
* cd build
* $QTOPIA_DEPOT_PATH/configure -device neo -verbose -build-qt -force-build-qt
* bin/qbuild image
</pre>

This forces building qt as well which resolved problems with the qbuild test using all the system ram.

==== Booting into Qtopia ====

Now shutdown the FreeRunner

shutdown -h now

Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from [[Booting the Neo FreeRunner]])

* Press and hold Power button
* Then while still pressing the Power button, press and hold AUX button for 5 to 8 seconds.
* A boot menu will appear.
* Press the AUX button to select "[[Boot from sd card|Boot from MicroSD]]" and then press the Power button to execute.

Qtopia should now boot.

'''''Note:''''' you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run

umount /dev/mmcblk0p2
fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2

This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.

=== Internationalization ===

Qtopia comes with support for German and American English, and users from other countries will find that Qtopia's predictive keyboard makes writing in another language near impossible. One way to disable the predictive keyboard is to simply replace /opt/Qtopia/etc/dict/en_US/common.dawg and words.dawg with empty files (after backing them up). Qtopia normally looks in these files for words to suggest, and if it doesn't find any words that fit, it simply shows what you actually wrote.

Adding characters to the keyboard requires modifications to the source code, as described [http://www.qtopia.net/modules/newbb_plus/viewtopic.php?topic_id=512&forum=16 here].

=== Software packages feeds ===

Installation of more software packages with the package manager tool found the Settings folder needs servers, which offer these packages, like

* http://qtextended.org/packages/feed/4.4.1/neo (default)
* ...

Install packages into Qt extended through the package manager, which only allows packages via web servers, seems to be the only way at the moment.
(No way to download a package seperately and install the file.)

== Bugs ==

See [http://trolltech.org/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=front Trolltech's tracker] ([http://trolltech.org/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=advsearch&searchstr=&bugs=on&sugs=on&product=2&functionalarea=&versionfound=&versionfixed=&priority=-1&status=0&resolution=-1 Qtopia Tracker]).

Bug reports should be sent to qt-bugs@trolltech.com or by web form at http://trolltech.com/bugreport-form.

=== Suspend /Resume ===
It seems that suspend/resume only works when the FreeRunner has been connected to a powersource (only a few seconds if sufficient). If you boot from battery, it will never suspend until you have plugged it in at least for a couple of seconds.

=== Bugs in 4.4.1 ===
* Boot and Shutdown Splash will not work because splash-write was not compiled into Busybox
* Timezone & time on latest Qt 4.4.1
* The first item in a list is missing the top half

=== Bugs in 4.4.2 ===
* Cannot connect to a WPA protected WLAN, because wpa_supplicant of the previous connection is left running. Try a [http://www.qtsoftware.com/developer/task-tracker/index_html?method=entry&id=241864 fixed /opt/Trolltech/Qtopia/bin/lan-network script].

Headset

2009-02-06T18:36:32Z

Xc8: /* Known working adapters */

== Pinout==
There's a four-ring 2.5mm stereo jack which provides connectivity to old-fashioned wired headsets.

Pinout: [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2008-March/013792.html]

<pre><nowiki>
base = ground
speaker left (internal impedance 33R) to ground. (+jackinsert detection)
speaker right (internal impedance 33R) to ground.
tip = mic electret condenser type, to ground.
bias (power for mic) 2K2 from +3.3v(wolfson codec)
(+HoldButton shortcircuit to ground)
</nowiki></pre>

This matches the reported pinout for the Blackberry Pearl [http://www.blackberryforums.com/hardware-accessories/78977-blackberry-audio-adapter-wiring-pinouts.html] but so far headset compatibility is unconfirmed.

== Known working adapters ==

The headsets used by Motorola smartphones (A780,A1200, ...) and the V-360 have a compatible configuration. The HS-120 (Motorola) works without problems (mic untested).

| Koss KSC-35 headphones, Altec Lansing inMotion iM4 speakers and car audio via AUX - all work great, if the mixer settings are changed like guided below. One can notice the lack of real quality sound with the headphones, but it's mostly fine for any casual listening. Definitely the output is not ideal/natural because of the high-pass filtering effect from the hardware issue and then artificially boosting low frequencies to compensate.
|-

== Incompatible, but rewireable headsets ==
The headsets used by some Nokia phones (N95, ...) have the same jack but they are incompatible. For technical information about rewiring them visit [[Analog wired Headset Nokia]].
The same is true for Headsets delivered with Sony Ericsson. Here is a short rewiring guide: [[Analog wired Headset Sony Ericsson]].

== Audio quality ==

You probably want to fix mixer settings to overcome the poor low-frequency output, see [[FreeRunner Hardware Issues#Known.2FAccepted_Issues|FreeRunner Hardware Issues]] for instructions.

==Test Scope==
To test Headset functionality

==Test Duration==

==Test Environment==
# Neo FreeRunner plus April Software Update
# FIC GTA02 battery
# SIM card
# Headset AP

Supported microSD cards

2009-02-03T21:25:31Z

Xc8: /* Cards by Vendor */

{{todo|Maybe reformat table, see discussion page}}

There are a plethora of Transflash / microSD / SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) cards out there.

The Neo FreeRunner supports up to 8GB SDHC cards.

Some microSD cards appear to be too slow to work with the current default settings of the glamo driver, so some specific parameters must be set in uboot to use them (see https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1743, and corresponding notes in the tables bellow).

There had been a [http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/cgi-bin/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=677 bug] in the SD device driver (s3cmci) which caused some trouble. Please make sure you use a post-september 4th kernel which applies our kernel patchset rev2832 or higher.

Booting from SDHC requires a u-boot from 2008-07-23 or later. '''But pay attention''' : there are problems with SDHC cards at suspend time. More details from [[Booting from SD#Booting_from_SDHC_.2F_suspend_problems|Booting from SD]]

Note that most vendors are using an irritating way of labeling the capacity of their cards (They are using the factor 1000 instead of 1024 for KB and MB). Therefore the real capacity of these cards will be about 5% less than the vendor's specification. For example, cards labelled ''6 GB'' will only have 5.7 GB of storage capacity.

If you want to exchange your SD card more often: [http://people.openmoko.org/joerg/sdcard-handle/ Jörg] has a nice sticky tape trick to do this with no hassle.

If you use a card not listed here, please add to this table.

Note that cards with a "'''no'''" may still work at times, but that we just have found their behaviour too erratic to consider acceptable.
(Also note that this is a bug in our version of u-boot. The cards are probably fine.)

Stable Hybrid Release

2009-01-24T11:28:36Z

Xc8: /* Connecting your FreeRunner to your computer */

{{Languages|SHR}}
{{Distributions|SHR}}
{{SHR}}

== Why SHR exists ==
The [[Stable Hybrid Release]] (SHR) is intended to be a community driven distribution composed of the [[OpenmokoFramework|FSO]] and some basic applications, that can be configured to use several different graphical toolkits, for example GTK or EFL. SHR is based on the FSO build. At first, SHR was introduced in order to use the [[Openmoko2007.2]] GTK software in combination with the new [[OpenmokoFramework|FSO]], but things have changed.

====Why not just use plain FSO?====
[[FSO]] is the initiative by Mickey Lauer and crew to create a good [[D-Bus]] infrastructure which runs on the neos, among other devices.

FSO is by far the most stable & usable release, if all you want is a phone. (I mean *all*. It just has a dialer, which is a demo application.)

FSO is never intended on its own to be a full image, it's just the infrastructure and a demo app.

Other people are supposed to put a front end on FSO. So that's what we're doing.

== Install ==

Installing SHR is very easy. I will explain how to install the testing version of SHR. It is stable enough for a daily use. Stable version will be available soon ([http://blog.shr-project.org/ Stable announcement]), [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/ unstable] (for the adventurous testers) is also available.

I suppose that you know how to use [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/NeoTool NeoTool]

You need to download two files from [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/ here]

- the kernel (uImage-om-gta02-latest.bin)

- the root files system (jffs2 file)

You can view the sources [http://git.shr-project.org/git/ here].

== Connecting your FreeRunner to your computer ==
For the next configuration steps, you will need to type some commands. It is much easier to type on a real keyboard than on a touch screen.
So you need to connect your FR to you computer, and make a bridge to internet.
Use [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking this page]

== Setting local time ==
As any linux system, the UTC time is used by the system. First of all, adjust this time:
date -u -s 010220052009
Fri Jan 2 20:05:00 UTC 2009

Then, you need to "localise" your system.
Search for the appropriate country with:
opkg list | grep tzdata

then install the one corresponding to your area.
opkg install tzdata-europe

Then select your city (search the city availabled in /usr/share/zoneinfo/your-country)

You can fully localise your system by installing the glibc-binary-localedata correponding to your langage. Search the ones available with:
opkg list | grep glibc-binary-localedata

install with

opkg install glibc-binary-localedata-fr-fr

(example for France)

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris /etc/localtime

== Changing root password ==
SHR is shipped without root password (just press enter)

This is very dangerous if you connect using wifi, or USB. You need to activate the root password:

passwd

en type your selected password (2 times)

== Customize the RingTone ==
You need to have a file containing the RingTone you want for your FR. You can find some at [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Ringtones#svn.openmoko.org_ringtones RingTone]

Then transfer it to your FR (i.e on the SD card):
scp file root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/

Now you need to indicate that the FR must use this file for incoming calls. Modify /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/conf/phone/default.yaml

== Sound Control ==

Up to now, there is no graphical interface to control the sound
=== Mic and HP ===
The first idea is to use alsamixer; bad idea! There are 94 controls, and your modifications will be lost at the next reboot.Finding documentation is not easy. Here is my understanding:
Scenari are used for each case. They are located in /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/
- capturehandset.state
- gsmheadset.state
- headset.state
- voip-handset.state
- gsmhandset.state
- gsmspeakerout.state
- stereoout.state

Each file is a set of value for the 94 parameters. I have identified some:

- Control 48: internal mic of the tel (set to 2 or 3)

- Control 4 : internal speaker (set from 110 to 120)

- Control 49: headset mic

- Control 3 : headset speaker

=== Ringing ===

You can define a short ringtone, repeated many time, or a long one, repeated 1 time

File: /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/conf/phone/default.yaml

Parameter: ring-volume # Ring Volume control 0 (mini) to ? maxi)
Parameter: ring-length # min time for ringtone. Must be greater than the duration of you ringtone

File: /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/schema/phone.yaml
Parameter: ring-loop # define the number of loop of ringtone to play

=== Message alert ===

== Known Issues ==
=== Phone ===

GSM network is lost after one day of uptime: restart your FR once a day!

=== Address Book ===

SHR is not implementing a PIM (Personal Information Manager) yet. Work is in progress, but to included in SHR testing This has some consequences on daily use:

- only contacts on the SIM card are available

- it is not possible to import a Vcard file
EDIT : It seems to be possible with a script written By Zem:
[http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/User:Zem#DBus_Access_Scripts]

- Incoming call only display phone number (not the name of the calling person)

- it is not possible to send message (SMS) using the name of the receiver. You need to remember his phone number

=== GPS ===
GPS is not activated at start up, and it is not possible to activated it using a graphical interface.
You need to type:
cd /etc/init.d/
fso-gpsd start
