This page provides instructions on how to install Qtopia (proper, not the ASU or QtopiaOnX11 efforts) on the GTA02 (FreeRunner) phone. It is similar to the Qtopia on Neo1973 page.

On 29 August 2008, Trolltech опубликовал Qtopia образ для FIC Neo FreeRunner (gta02) содержащий релиз Qtopia 4.3.2 (Версия: 4.3.2-290808) (GPL version). Смотри Заметки по релизу
This image can successfully make and receive calls and text messages. It can read all contacts from the SIM card (which the updated 2007.2 does not appear to be able to do). It contains apps that appear to be more stable than the ones found in the 2007.2 image. It has multiple input methods that appear to be more mature. It does not, however, have a web browser or a GPS application. There is however a third-party GPS application here
On 2nd of September 2008 Trolltech also released a 4.3.3-snapshot which fixes a number issues (sms messages not retrieved after resume; Qtopia getting confused between two calls; Make default call volume down and mic up; Added echo fix.)
You can find all the Qtopia images here
Download the image mentioned above and follow the instructions here: Flashing the Neo FreeRunner
Installation Requirements:
See the Preparing the SD Card section of the Booting from SD page for partitioning and formatting instructions. After you complete the "Formatting the SD Card" steps, return here and execute the following:
mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 /media/card mkdir /media/card/boot
mkdir /media/mmcblk0p2 mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 /media/mmcblk0p2
This will set you up properly for the installation of the root filesystem and the kernel in the steps below.
Download the Qtopia FLASH image from Latest Images#Qtopia image from qtopia.net to your Linux box and extract its contents:
tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-flash-*.tgz
You should now have two files:
Now, mount the root file system from the jffs2 using the commands found here.
Next, tar up the root filesystem:
# tar czf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz -C <mountpoint> .
Where <mountpoint> is the location where the jff2 filesystem was mounted. Note the space and the period after the mountpoint.
Transfer this compressed tarball to the second partition of the MicroSD that is mounted on the FreeRunner:
scp qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz root@192.168.0.202:/media/mmcblk0p2/
Log in to your FreeRunner and unpack the root filesystem:
cd /media/mmcblk0p2 tar xzf qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm qtopia-4.3.2-gta02-rootfs-07172049.tar.gz rm -f /media/mmcblk0p2/boot/*
Note: the last step removes the kernel image from the second partition. For some reason, U-Boot cannot find the uImage.bin file in the first partition if a kernel image exists in the second partition boot/ directory.
From your Linux box, rename uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin to uImage.bin and copy it to the boot directory on the first partition of the MicroSD card. Depending on the version of U-Boot you have installed, this may not work. To prevent any possible issues, copy it to the /media/card directory as well. There is plenty of room on the first partition to have uImage.bin in both locations.
mv uImage-2.6.24+git18+9c058ff0d2641df3c36fc3300acb72078d2c41d4-r0-om-gta02.bin uImage.bin scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/boot/ scp uImage.bin root@192.168.0.202:/media/card/
NOTE: This will upgrade only opt/Qtopia directory, you should use opkg update/upgrade for the rest |
Original Qtopia images (the distribution released by Trolltech, not ASU) are rarely released as a rootfs image, but the source code is often updated. If you want to reflash your OM with the latest version of Qtopia you might build it from sources. This has been explained in this thread of the community mailing list. Summing up:
cd / wget http://qtopia.net/downloads/neo/arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz tar xvzf arm920t-eabi-ficgta01-toolchain.tgz
tar xvzf qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806.tar.gz
mkdir build cd build
../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080806/configure -device ficgta01 make
This will take some time (couple hours). Note that the option "-device ficgta01" should work for both neo and freerunner. Then:
make install
will make a root directory into the build directory. There you can find an image that directory should be copied to /opt/Qtopia of your phone with scp. once done restart qpe or whole phone.
Now shutdown the FreeRunner
shutdown -h now
Log into U-Boot in the NAND Flash to boot from the MicroSD card: (instructions from Booting the Neo FreeRunner)
Qtopia should now boot.
Note: you may get a kernel panic which says that "optional features not supported". If this is the case, boot back into 2007.2 and run
umount /dev/mmcblk0p2 fsck.ext3.e2fsprogs /dev/mmcblk0p2
This will clean up the file system and clear recovery flags in ext3 that ext2 does not support, then try booting from the MicroSD again.
Qtopia comes with support for German and American English, and users from other countries will find that Qtopia's predictive keyboard makes writing in another language near impossible. One way to disable the predictive keyboard is to simply replace /opt/Qtopia/etc/dict/en_US/common.dawg and words.dawg with empty files (after backing them up). Qtopia normally looks in these files for words to suggest, and if it doesn't find any words that fit, it simply shows what you actually wrote.
Adding characters to the keyboard requires modifications to the source code, as described here.
It seems that suspend/resume only works when the FreeRunner has been connected to a powersource (only a few seconds if sufficient). If you boot from battery, it will never suspend until you have plugged it in at least for a couple of seconds.
