[edit] Distributions
- Fyp is a Debian for Freerunner based distribution which uses LXDE and Zhone on top. It is a FreeYourPhone.de community project. Now the first beta image is released. You can download Fyp distribution here, then uses NeoTool for installation. After you have finished the installation and booted up, you can press AUX (short press) to show the keyboard, and use Power button to pop up the shutdown/suspend menu, then select the options.
- FSO meets paroli - for a fully functional paroli, FSO team came up with fso milestone 5.5. FSO MS 5.5 will contain everything needed by paroli.

This project now is on progress. You can check this on it's wiki page.
- Enscribi - a new handwriting recognition input method, currently it only supports writing Japanese and Chinese characters. You can download ipk files and install it on FSO.
