Introduction

Distributions

SHR-Logo.png SHR

SHR is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution for smartphones and is the most popular Operating System for the Freerunner. It has not made a stable release yet, but enjoys continuous development, and this is an update on all the great work that has been done recently. Unstable and testing images are available for both the Freerunner, and Neo 1973. A list of notable updates:

A substantial FSO upgrade is hitting SHR. The reimplementation of FSO API's in Vala is progressing, and is providing significant improvements in speed. Specifically, SHR-U now features fsodeviced, fsousaged and fsonetworkd. The upgrade also introduces a more elegant system of separate configuration files for each daemon in etc/freesmartphone/*.
Images are now available for ubifs, in addition to jffs and ext. ubifs promises improved performance, as well as smarter logic of uSD wear.
The discussion about faster kernels is also affecting SHR; (MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE) is already pushed in. Experimental kernels (2.6.29-rc3-drm, 2.6.31, 2.6.32) are available for testing at: http://build.shr-project.org/tests/mrmoku/2.6.31/images/om-gta02

Rtmom.png rtmom 0.1

rtmom is a Python client for RememberTheMilk. It is based on Elementary.

  • Currently, rtmom is more or less read-only:
    • you can download and display your tasks and
    • you may mark a task as complete
    • no editing or creating of tasks yet implemented
  • Check wiki for installation and usage.

Community

Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc..

  • Harald Welte is planning to create a GSM development board based on 100% open hardware design and 100% free software. The initial focus is to create a board that behaves like a GSM cellphone. This could be interesting for the gta02-core project.
