...Make the freerunner a usable phone.
Basic info:
-> my provider is "Orange-Austria"
-> my second provider is A1

Feb, 09 - 2009 (the second)

I just set up a page for my new project.. the momtools
momtools <- an application to control the freerunner, written in java & python

I just realized that there are many pages describing stuff like I do here,
therefore I'll try to move to a different direction..

If you like more info's how to use the freerunner as a phone, please visit:
http://www.bischof.org/openmoko/
(yeah.. it's in german only .. that's sad.. but he does exactly the thing I intended to do..)


What I'll do from now on:
I'll try do develop simple but usable java-applications for the openmoko.
(using classpath & classpath-awt .. probably on om2008.12)
-> As soon as I got something useful, It'll be up here =) (+the apps page)

.. seems like that's it for now ..
-> let's have pizza!!

Ok, after some days I experience some problems with one of my providers..
Orange is having difficulties sending and receiving sms .. phone-calls work nicely.
More to that my moko is still registering to "one" (name of the old provider before orange swallowed it).
-> I guess this is a problem with orange, or the sending-stations .. because it doesn't work at my home place, but in some other locations it works well (phone directly connects to orange)

After having those problems I put out my orange-sim, and put in the A1.
This seemed to solve the problem .. nice audio-quality, sending and receiving sms works as it should ..
+ plus-point for the fso-developers!

Another thing I tried out is the tangoGPS-thing .. it works, as far I see..
I've downloaded a lot of maps to my 8GB-storage card .. the map-download works as it should.
-> It's a pity that tangoGPS doesn't got a routing-engine .. but I'll try navit as soon as possible!


I guess that's if for today..
-> if there are some orange-users from Austria .. don't panic .. it's (hopefully - as I see it) not your openmoko that's not working as it should ..

I re-flashed my freerunner today - using latest fso release.
(download-page: [1])

It seems pretty usable (zhone is really nice!),
I only experience problems receiving sms..

following script will remove not-out-of-the-box-working desktop-shortcuts:
<script>
mv /usr/share/applications/paroli-io.desktop /usr/share/applications/paroli-io.desktop.bk mv /usr/share/applications/paroli-msgs.desktop /usr/share/applications/paroli-msgs.desktop.bk mv /usr/share/applications/paroli-launcher.desktop /usr/share/applications/paroli-launcher.desktop.bk mv /usr/share/applications/paroli-contacts.desktop /usr/share/applications/paroli-contacts.desktop.bk mv /usr/share/applications/paroli-dialer.desktop /usr/share/applications/paroli-dialer.desktop.bk

</script>

.. this are my first impressions so far..
I'll try to use pure fso for some time .. let's see what it'll bring!

Hello all,
I'll set up a page describing how to make the freerunner an actually usable phone ..
~ this will take some time I guess.. please be patient :)

cheers,
