Paroli is a new approach to application development on the Openmoko phones. It is actually able, in combination with Om2009 distribution to make Freerunner work as a simple phone. It's based on top of the FSO framework and enables the use of it via a core and several services.

Stuff that works

Paroli actually makes FR a simple, very working phone!!

  • ability to turn off PIN check & change pin! (The first distro that does it ?)
  • Connecting to WLAN (with WPA, WPA2, WEP)
  • suspend & resume
  • etc etc

Installation / download

Full distro

To install the Om2009 distribution download the uImage and fso-paroli-image from http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/NeoFreerunner/

Only the package

In order to get the package from unstable you'll need to adjust the configuration of opkg:

echo src/gz openmoko-unstable-armv4t http://downloads.openmoko.org/repository/unstable/armv4t > /etc/opkg/om-unstable.conf

Then do an opkg-update and opkg install paroli.

This should get you the newest version.

FAQ

What's in the main menu?

  • Call-Log is the phone log. It'll show your dialled, answered and missed calls.
    • To SMS a contact from Call-Log slide the number to the right to expose "Msg"; push this button to compose a new message.
  • SMS is the place to send & read messages
    • Slide existing SMS to the right to expose Re: to Reply.
  • Dialer is the dialer
  • People is the phone book
    • To call someone, enter the People list, click on the contact, and click on the number displayed
    • To SMS someone, enter the People list, and slide the contact's name to the right. A "Msg" button will be exposed, which you can press to start a text message.


How do I get to settings?

Go to the home-screen (the one with the big clock) and hold the AUX-button pressed for 2 seconds.

How do I get Illume?

Open settings, click on "display" and then hit "profile" (once) and be patient, after some rumbling on the screen you will have the standard illume look with paroli in windowed mode. It may be necessary to reboot or wait a while before this will work.

How do I shut it down?

Hold the power button down for 10 seconds. It will not give you a visual feedback, it just starts shutting down.

How do I change the audio profile

  • When not on call, short pressing of AUX changes between audio profiles (default / silent).
  • When on call, it changes the speaker volume (20-40-60-80-100%). Using level over 80 might cause some echo.


How do I close an application? On top there are 3 icons. The one in the right (the big X) closes the current app.


How to I turn on the keyboards? In the top up menu, there is is a "qwerty" icon. Some to close it.


Where are the messages folder? Drafts, sent etc.?


How do I lock the screen, without going to suspend?


How do i set the alarm?

How do I change the background image?

For a detailed (step-by-step) instruction with example images, please see this page: Change the background image
