+ | * New images are built with kernel and all needed changes are already included. | ||
+ | * Images doesn't have udevd installed by default (using devtmpfs), which makes it boot about twice as fast as before (less then 1 min to PIN dialog). But it also won't mount your uSD automatically (it was blacklisted before, but removing it from blacklist won't help now). | ||
+ | * Included packages contains latest stuff like xserver-1.9 (RC3), foxtrotgps and tangogps 0.99.4, QT 4.7.0-beta1 and QML enabled navit. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Distribution revision was changed in OE, this means that every package installed from shr-unstable feeds will be upgraded during next opkg upgrade (so be sure that you have enough time and space in /var partition). Consider flashing new image, it can be faster and safer in the end. | ||
+ | * Used GCC was upgraded from version 4.4.4 to 4.5 (svn revision 160764 from gcc-4.5-branch, because released 4.5.0 has few issues on ARM targets). | ||
+ | * New GCC brings LTO optimizations, which can give us 30% speedup in some cases see [http://sakrah.dontexist.org/node/1 Benchmark results]. LTO is not enabled by default yet. | ||
+ | |||
+ | * New kernel has some issues, so please try first (on another uSD partition), before upgrading your daily-phone-partition. | ||
+ | * The kernel is bigger than 2MB so if you're using u-boot, update your environment according to [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Kernel#.22Verifying_Checksum_..._Bad_Data_CRC.22_with_U-boot this wiki entry] | ||
+ | * With slower uSD you can see unknown-block-device while booting. Flash newer Qi [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/ from SHR] it is using rootwait instead of rootdelay=1. For u-boot increase rootdelay or use rootwait. | ||
+ | * Sometimes (and only on some devices) it can show all white (looks like old WSoD, but it's without death). Suspend/Resume should fix this. | ||
+ | * Vibrations are too weak. | ||

Distributions
Debian GNU/Linux
Debian (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Debian) is a universal operating system used on many other embedded devices, and also on home computers. Using Debian on the FreeRunner gives access to the Huge army of software packaged in the Debian repositories, already compiled for the Neo's arm(v4) processor. Moreover, one can build one's own source files for programs without having to learn the OpenEmbedded way. For an existing Debian/Ubuntu user, choosing Debian for Neo FreeRunner makes phone a very familiar, trustworthy and flexible place to hack in.

SHR [unstable]
SHR is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution for smartphones based on OpenEmbedded using E17 (illume) as window manager and own gui apps on top of FSO. After hopefully lucky incident we have finally switched to new kernel (based on 2.6.32.13, KMS enabled):

Here comes some additional text to show you guys, how Template:DistributionBox will behave under heavy load of text. It is copied several times on purpose. This way you can see how layout would looke like if description of distribution is very complex or expanded.Here comes some additional text to show you guys, how Template:DistributionBox will behave under heavy load of text.
