Released 2009-02-02 and for sure has some bugs and could be done better so be careful when running - but it still might make your life a little easier :)!
 
  
''You've been warned!''
 
  
=== Description ===
 
[[Image:Kustomizer-home.png|thumb|Home view]]Kustomizer is a script that converts your clean OM 2008.12 installation on Openmoko Freerunner into a usable pda/toy/something. '''At the moment there's something wrong with the GSM that doesn't connect at all!'''
 
  
The script is licensed with GPLv2 licence. The applications that it installs around the Net might have other licences, check the original sites for more information.
+
'''THE DEVELOPMENT AND ALL KIND OF SUPPORT FOR KUSTOMIZER HAS STOPPED. IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE IT ANY MORE!'''
  
It installs apps from the default repositories as well as from opkg.org and some other sources across the Internet. Some would call the result a new distribution, to me it's just 2008.12 + some apps the script installs. You decide :)
 
  
Originally it was written to make it easy to try some apps after a clean installation for opkg.org application tests ([http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/opkgorg-software-test-part-i/ review part one], [http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/opkgorg-software-review-part-2/ review part two]) and 'recover' easily after that but in the end it became a script that might be useful for others, too.
 
  
Any questions can be sent to [http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog Risto H. Kurppa] ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) or at community list, see [[Development_resources#Mailing_Lists|mailing lists]].
 
  
Kustomizer also released in [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-February/041167.html Community mailing list] and at the [http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/kustomizer-for-openmoko-200812 author's blog]
 
  
=== Warnings ===
 
[[Image:Kustomizer-install.png|thumb|Screenshot of the installation screen]]
 
If you have some issues (WSOD / BSOD / wlan connecting only once / etc) with 2008.12 this will not fix those!
 
  
Make sure there's nothing too important on your memory card or flash memory!! - BACKUPS!!!
 
Installing 2008.12 will wipe the rootfs partition (=all your data in the phone excl. memory card) but tries to leave you memory card alone.
 
  
It's more or less all the time under development and not very throughly tested so you might have to do some manual work after the installation to get everything up and running. Some packages fail to install for mysterious reasons (segfault, missing dependencies, md5sum mismatch, ...).
+
''If you want to use Freerunner with OM2008.12 and OM2009 as a usable phone and music player and internet device and gps device then there's so many things you have to install and configure before it's usable. It took me a lot of time to get everything installed and configured (and there's still some things to do). But now there's the Kustomizer, maybe this can make life a little easier.'' [http://lists.openmoko.org/pipermail/community/2009-February/041648.html M.K@community]
  
=== Usage ===
 
Script is available at http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer
 
  
Here's the instructions what to do on your desktop to flash to 2008.12 and then what to do on Freerunner (over SSH!) to run the script.
+
* '''2009-11-16''' Final decision to run Kustomizer down as OM2009 was suspended months ago.
 +
* '''2009-05-07''' writing of Kustomizer for OM2009 started at [http://etherpad.com/zt3x1x7ERX Etherpad]
 +
* '''2009-04-28''' [http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_0.41 Kustomizer 0.41] released with minor fixes.
 +
* '''2009-03-15''' [http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_0.4 Kustomizer 0.4] released check [[Kustomizer#Changelog|Changelog]]
 +
* '''2009-03-11''' Mailing list launched. To subscribe send a mail to [mailto:kustomizer+subscribe@googlegroups.com]
 +

 +
* '''2009-02-20''' [http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_0.35 0.35 pre-release] - give it a try, more packages should now install, the bug was finally found.. Let me know if it works for you!
 +

 +
* '''2009-02-06''' [http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog/kustomizer-02-for-200812/ version 0.2 released]. GSM works again. Many fixes done - now Kustomizer can give you two different configurations, see [[Kustomizer#What_does_it_do.3F|here]]. [[Kustomizer#Changelog|Changelog]] and [http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_files/kustomizer_0.2_log_20090206.txt test run log]

* Kustomizer will not fix your WSOD / BSOD / wlan connecting only once / etc issues
In Settings -tool set 'Suspend' to 'off' or Freerunner will suspend and the installation will fail.
+
* Flashing 2008.12 will wipe your rootfs
 +
* Backup all your important data - just to be sure!
 +
* Kustomizer is more or less under development
  
Now you should be able to run this script from the command line on Freerunner. DO IT OVER SSH so that you can see the installation log also after the installation has finished!
+
=== What does it do? ===
wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer && chmod 755 kustomizer && ./kustomizer
+
You can run Kustomizer once or twice. Here's an explanation what happens:
  
Let the [http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog author] ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) know how did it go! You might not receive any help but it helps to develope the script further. If possible, please attach the log.
+
==== First run ====
 +
The first time you run Kustomizer, it installes opkg.org repository, Illume-theme and terminal keyboard, files for better call audio quality, xterm. Also a CPU resource bug is fixed (qpe). A restart is required for this to take effect and Kustomizer will do this for you.
  
=== What does it do? ===
+
    * illume-theme
Here are some things it does. It doesn't include all and some might be listed here that for some reason are not included at the moment.
+
    * terminal keyboard
 +
    * wrench & qwerty buttons
 +
    * opkg.org repository added
 +
    * qpe eating CPU resources -bug fix
 +
    * new gsmhandset.state for improved audio quality
 +
    * Restart to apply the new settings
  
Fixes & things
+
==== Second run ====
 +
The second run will install the rest: applications, GPRS, link map direcories from µSD card, mokoservices and tap/untap etc. You don't have to make the second run if you don't want.
  
     * Prevents gpe from scanning your µSD card (this uses all CPU power..)
+
     * Navit repository added
     * Illume-theme & Raster's keyboard with disabled dropshadow
+
     * Linking /home/root/Maps to /media/card/Maps
     * Wrench & QWERTY buttons
+
     * Loads of coolest applications & libraries
    * Opkg.org repository added
+
    * Finnish/Swedish Illume keyboard layout and Finnish dictionary
+
 
     * GPRS settings
 
     * GPRS settings
    * Fixed gsmhandset.state
 
 
     * Freerunner-optimized Navit config XML. Preconfigured to use the map or Europe in /media/card/Maps/navit/europe.navit.bin
 
     * Freerunner-optimized Navit config XML. Preconfigured to use the map or Europe in /media/card/Maps/navit/europe.navit.bin
 +
    * Your custom script from /media/card/customscript will be run, if found. See [http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/config_files/customscript example]
 +
    * loads of various small fixes
 +
    * Restart to apply the new settings
  
Things that will be installed from your µSD card in /media/card. If these don't exist, it's okay, they'll just then not be available for you to use.
+
After the second installation, about 150MB of the 256MB rootfs is used.
  
    * /m/c/scripts.tar.gz - your own scripts that will be extracted to /home/root/scripts. This will directory be added to the path (in /etc/profile)
+
==== Applications ====
    * /m/c/Maps will be symlinked from /home/root/Maps
+
Here's a list of applications installed. All might not be included.
    * /m/c/Maps/navit/europe.navit.bin preconfigured in Navit config
+
    * /m/c/Maps/navit/bookmarks.txt and destinations.txt copied to /home/root/.navit

=== Running the script ===
 +
Script is available at http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer
 +
 +
Here's the instructions what to do on your desktop to flash to 2008.12 and then what to do on Freerunner (over SSH!) to run the script.
 +
 +
## ON DESKTOP COMPUTER (written for Ubuntu 8.10 and newer)
 +
 +
## Prepare your memory card
 +
  Here are some things you can put on your µSD card that will be mounted to /media/card. If you don't have these, it's OK.
 +
  * /m/c/customscript - your own script that will be run in the end. You can write here all your custom requirements, I added the Finnish keyboard and some handy scripts, see http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/config_files/customscript
 +
  * /m/c/Maps will be symlinked from /home/root/Maps. You can put your Openstreetmap map tiles there: TangoGPS uses this
 +
  * /m/c/Maps/navit/europe.navit.bin will be used by Navit, preconfigured to do so
 +
  * /m/c/Maps/navit/bookmarks.txt and destinations.txt will be copied to /home/root/.navit. These are the bookmarks and destinations for Navit
 +
 +
## REQUIRED PACKAGES
 +
# install required packages:
 +
# a) run: sudo apt-get install dfu-util bind9
 +
# dfu-util is also available from http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.9/dfu-util
 +
 +
## FLASH
 +
# for more details, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_Freerunner
 +
# download the required image files
 +
# b) run: wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin & wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
 +
# c) Connect your freerunner to the computer with the USB cable
 +
# d) start your Freerunner holding the AUX button down to get to the NOR menu
 +
# e) run: sudo time dfu-util -a kernel -R -D Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin
 +
# f) run: sudo time dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
 +
# g) Start & restart Freerunner to be able to log in over USB ssh
 +
# h) Go to 'Settings' and change 'Suspend' to 'off' or Freerunner will suspend and the installation will fail.
 +
 +
## CONNECT
 +
# Connect over usb-ssh with shared internet connection
 +
# Don't run the script on Freerunner's screen! It can be done but not recommended if you don't know what you're doing.
 +
# Download a script to help you & change the permission
 +
# i) run: wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/fr_bind && chmod 755 fr_bind
 +
# j) run: ./fr_bind
 +
# k) First it asks for your Ubuntu -password to restart the interface & bind9 - type it in
 +
# l) After this it asks for Freerunner password - it's empty, just hit Enter
 +
# For more details check http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Usb_networking#Ubuntu_8.10_-_Easy_Way 
 +
 +
## ON FREERUNNER
 +
 +
# 1) Make sure you've turned 'Suspend' to 'off' in the Settings.
 +
# 2) Make sure you can SSH in over USB so that Freerunner has Internet connection (ping google.com?)
 +
# 3) run: wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_VERSION -O kustomizer && chmod 755 kustomizer
 +
# 4) run: ./kustomizer
 +
# On the first run it will install some stuff and then restart (to stop the qpe-bug). Then you need to repeat 2) and 4) and  it'll install the rest
 +
 +
 +
Let the [http://risto.kurppa.fi/blog author] ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) know how did it go! You might not receive any help but it helps to develop the script further. If possible, please attach the log.
 +
 +
=== Good to know ===
 +
* Rerunning a newer version of Kustomizer will most likely break something -> Don't try to update, only run on clean 2008.12
 +
* During the second run many packages will fail with segfault/md5sum mismatch/missing dependencies/package not found. No harm done but also no app installed. It's because of bad packaging and we just have to wait for someone to fix it.
 +
* Services -> gprs usually says 'FAILED' when you try to start GPRS but when you restart the app, it says 'GPRS ON' and shows the traffic counter.
 +
* Enlightenment crashes sometimes, just click 'Recover' and you're fine again.
 +
* For instructions how to manage icon folders and icons of apps you install later, check http://www.opkg.org/package_95.html

THE DEVELOPMENT AND ALL KIND OF SUPPORT FOR KUSTOMIZER HAS STOPPED. IT'S NOT RECOMMENDED TO USE IT ANY MORE!




If you want to use Freerunner with OM2008.12 and OM2009 as a usable phone and music player and internet device and gps device then there's so many things you have to install and configure before it's usable. It took me a lot of time to get everything installed and configured (and there's still some things to do). But now there's the Kustomizer, maybe this can make life a little easier. M.K@community


  • 2009-11-16 Final decision to run Kustomizer down as OM2009 was suspended months ago.
  • 2009-05-07 writing of Kustomizer for OM2009 started at Etherpad
  • 2009-04-28 Kustomizer 0.41 released with minor fixes.
  • 2009-03-15 Kustomizer 0.4 released check Changelog
  • 2009-03-11 Mailing list launched. To subscribe send a mail to [1]
  • 2009-02-20 0.35 released "I tried your version 0.35 and that is a lot better than 0.3" (Lars)
  • 2009-02-20 0.35 pre-release - give it a try, more packages should now install, the bug was finally found.. Let me know if it works for you!
  • 2009-02-19 version 0.3 released. Again many fixes and new apps included, for example agps support.
  • 2009-02-06 version 0.2 released. GSM works again. Many fixes done - now Kustomizer can give you two different configurations, see here. Changelog and test run log
  • 2009-02-02 First release. In this release GSM didn't work :(


Contents

[edit] Description

Home view
Kustomizer is a script that converts your clean OM 2008.12 installation on Openmoko Freerunner into a usable phone/pda/toy/something.

The script is licensed with GPLv2 licence. The applications that it installs around the Net might have other licenses, check the original sites for more information.

Originally it was written to make it easy to try some apps after a clean installation for opkg.org application tests (review part one, review part two) and 'recover' easily after that but in the end it became a script that might be useful for others, too.

Send questions and comments to Risto H. Kurppa ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) or to the Community mailing list.

[edit] Warnings

Screenshot of the installation screen
  • Kustomizer will not fix your WSOD / BSOD / wlan connecting only once / etc issues
  • Flashing 2008.12 will wipe your rootfs
  • Backup all your important data - just to be sure!
  • Kustomizer is more or less under development

[edit] What does it do?

You can run Kustomizer once or twice. Here's an explanation what happens:

[edit] First run

The first time you run Kustomizer, it installes opkg.org repository, Illume-theme and terminal keyboard, files for better call audio quality, xterm. Also a CPU resource bug is fixed (qpe). A restart is required for this to take effect and Kustomizer will do this for you.

   * illume-theme
   * terminal keyboard
   * wrench & qwerty buttons
   * opkg.org repository added
   * qpe eating CPU resources -bug fix
   * new gsmhandset.state for improved audio quality
   * Restart to apply the new settings

[edit] Second run

The second run will install the rest: applications, GPRS, link map direcories from µSD card, mokoservices and tap/untap etc. You don't have to make the second run if you don't want.

   * Navit repository added
   * Linking /home/root/Maps to /media/card/Maps
   * Loads of coolest applications & libraries
   * GPRS settings
   * Freerunner-optimized Navit config XML. Preconfigured to use the map or Europe in /media/card/Maps/navit/europe.navit.bin
   * Your custom script from /media/card/customscript will be run, if found. See example
   * loads of various small fixes
   * Restart to apply the new settings

After the second installation, about 150MB of the 256MB rootfs is used.

[edit] Applications

Here's a list of applications installed. All might not be included.

   * Midori
   * Minimo
   * Dillo-ssl
   * CenterIM
   * Wireshark

[edit] Running the script

Script is available at http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer

Here's the instructions what to do on your desktop to flash to 2008.12 and then what to do on Freerunner (over SSH!) to run the script.

## ON DESKTOP COMPUTER (written for Ubuntu 8.10 and newer)

## Prepare your memory card
 Here are some things you can put on your µSD card that will be mounted to /media/card. If you don't have these, it's OK.
 * /m/c/customscript - your own script that will be run in the end. You can write here all your custom requirements, I added the Finnish keyboard and some handy scripts, see http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/config_files/customscript
 * /m/c/Maps will be symlinked from /home/root/Maps. You can put your Openstreetmap map tiles there: TangoGPS uses this
 * /m/c/Maps/navit/europe.navit.bin will be used by Navit, preconfigured to do so
 * /m/c/Maps/navit/bookmarks.txt and destinations.txt will be copied to /home/root/.navit. These are the bookmarks and destinations for Navit

## REQUIRED PACKAGES
# install required packages:
# a) run: sudo apt-get install dfu-util bind9 
# dfu-util is also available from http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.9/dfu-util

## FLASH
# for more details, see http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Flashing_the_Neo_Freerunner
# download the required image files
# b) run: wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin & wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
# c) Connect your freerunner to the computer with the USB cable
# d) start your Freerunner holding the AUX button down to get to the NOR menu
# e) run: sudo time dfu-util -a kernel -R -D Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin
# f) run: sudo time dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
# g) Start & restart Freerunner to be able to log in over USB ssh
# h) Go to 'Settings' and change 'Suspend' to 'off' or Freerunner will suspend and the installation will fail.

## CONNECT
# Connect over usb-ssh with shared internet connection
# Don't run the script on Freerunner's screen! It can be done but not recommended if you don't know what you're doing.
# Download a script to help you & change the permission
# i) run: wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/fr_bind && chmod 755 fr_bind
# j) run: ./fr_bind
# k) First it asks for your Ubuntu -password to restart the interface & bind9 - type it in
# l) After this it asks for Freerunner password - it's empty, just hit Enter 
# For more details check http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Usb_networking#Ubuntu_8.10_-_Easy_Way  
## ON FREERUNNER

# 1) Make sure you've turned 'Suspend' to 'off' in the Settings.
# 2) Make sure you can SSH in over USB so that Freerunner has Internet connection (ping google.com?)
# 3) run: wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_VERSION -O kustomizer && chmod 755 kustomizer
# 4) run: ./kustomizer
# On the first run it will install some stuff and then restart (to stop the qpe-bug). Then you need to repeat 2) and 4) and  it'll install the rest


Let the author ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) know how did it go! You might not receive any help but it helps to develop the script further. If possible, please attach the log.

[edit] Good to know

  • Rerunning a newer version of Kustomizer will most likely break something -> Don't try to update, only run on clean 2008.12
  • During the second run many packages will fail with segfault/md5sum mismatch/missing dependencies/package not found. No harm done but also no app installed. It's because of bad packaging and we just have to wait for someone to fix it.
  • Services -> gprs usually says 'FAILED' when you try to start GPRS but when you restart the app, it says 'GPRS ON' and shows the traffic counter.
  • Enlightenment crashes sometimes, just click 'Recover' and you're fine again.
  • For instructions how to manage icon folders and icons of apps you install later, check http://www.opkg.org/package_95.html

[edit] Development

If you have some ideas of improvements please let the author know (see above). I'm not planning to create rootfs images or anything huge but there are some things that I'd like to see kustomizer do. Check the script for the current TODO.

If someone is interested and willing to work on this please contact Risto H. Kurppa ( risto at kurppa dot fi ). Moving to projects.openmoko is possible.

Released 2009-02-02 and for sure has some bugs and could be done better so be careful when running - but it still might make your life a little easier :)!

You've been warned!

Description

Home view
Kustomizer is a script that converts your clean OM 2008.12 installation on Openmoko Freerunner into a usable pda/toy/something. At the moment there's something wrong with the GSM that doesn't connect at all!

The script is licensed with GPLv2 licence. The applications that it installs around the Net might have other licences, check the original sites for more information.

It installs apps from the default repositories as well as from opkg.org and some other sources across the Internet. Some would call the result a new distribution, to me it's just 2008.12 + some apps the script installs. You decide :)

Originally it was written to make it easy to try some apps after a clean installation for opkg.org application tests (review part one, review part two) and 'recover' easily after that but in the end it became a script that might be useful for others, too.

Any questions can be sent to Risto H. Kurppa ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) or at community list, see mailing lists.

Kustomizer also released in Community mailing list and at the author's blog

Warnings

Screenshot of the installation screen

If you have some issues (WSOD / BSOD / wlan connecting only once / etc) with 2008.12 this will not fix those!

Make sure there's nothing too important on your memory card or flash memory!! - BACKUPS!!! Installing 2008.12 will wipe the rootfs partition (=all your data in the phone excl. memory card) but tries to leave you memory card alone.

It's more or less all the time under development and not very throughly tested so you might have to do some manual work after the installation to get everything up and running. Some packages fail to install for mysterious reasons (segfault, missing dependencies, md5sum mismatch, ...).

Usage

Script is available at http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer

Here's the instructions what to do on your desktop to flash to 2008.12 and then what to do on Freerunner (over SSH!) to run the script.

#####################################################3
## ON DESKTOP COMPUTER (written for Ubuntu 8.10 and newer)
#####################################################3
sudo apt-get install dfu-util bind9 // dfu-util also available from http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.9/dfu-util
wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin & wget http://downloads.openmoko.org/releases/Om2008.12/Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
#Connect your freerunner to the computer with the USB cable
#start your Freerunner holding the AUX button down to get to the NOR menu
#these two take about 8-12 minutes
sudo time dfu-util -a kernel -R -D Om2008.12-om-gta02.uImage.bin
sudo time dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D Om2008.12-om-gta02.rootfs.jffs2
#start & restart Freerunner to be able to log in over USB ssh
#In Settings -tool set 'Suspend' to 'off' or Freerunner will suspend and the installation will fail.
#connect over usb-ssh with shared internet connection
#YOU WANT TO DO THIS SO THAT YOU CAN SCROLL AND SAVE THE LOG TO CHECK FOR ERRORS!!
wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/fr_bind && chmod 755 fr_bind
 ./fr_bind
# First it asks for your Ubuntu -password to restart the interface & bind9
# After this it asks for Freerunner password - just hit Enter there, it's empty.
#####################################################
## ON FREERUNNER
#####################################################
In Settings -tool set 'Suspend' to 'off' or Freerunner will suspend and the installation will fail.
Now you should be able to run this script from the command line on Freerunner. DO IT OVER SSH so that you can see the installation log also after the installation has finished!
wget http://www.kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer && chmod 755 kustomizer && ./kustomizer

Let the author ( risto at kurppa dot fi ) know how did it go! You might not receive any help but it helps to develope the script further. If possible, please attach the log.

What does it do?

Here are some things it does. It doesn't include all and some might be listed here that for some reason are not included at the moment.

Development

If you have some ideas of improvements please let the author know (see above). I'm not planning to create rootfs images or anything huge but there are some things that I'd like to see kustomizer do. Check the script for the current TODO.

Development version: http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_devel Development install log: http://kurppa.fi/freerunner/kustomizer_devel_log_20090202.txt

Bug tracker can be found in the talk page: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Talk:Kustomizer

If someone is interested and willing to work on this please contact Risto H. Kurppa ( risto at kurppa dot fi ). Moving to projects.openmoko is possible.

Changelog

At the moment there isn't one, you better check the file itself. I should start using bazaar..

Roadmap

  • copy all the cool features from other distros and best apps from opkg.org :) No.. There's no roadmap. Fix things when they break or something.
