Om 2009 is the next version of the official Openmoko distribution. The latest release is testing5 from June 16th, 2009.
Om2009 testing5 already has all the features most people need for daily phone usage: SMS, calling, phone book, call log, charging, suspend&resume, wifi gui, audio profiles, etc.
Om2009 is currently under developement and should be released in Summer 2009 to replace Om 2008. It is based on freesmartphone.org milestone 5.5 framework and use Paroli as GSM software.
If you don't have Moko11 as your GSM firmware yet, you should update it: See GSM/Flashing
You can add a bind-home directory to the first partition (must be ext2 or ext3 ) of your SD card. On the OM2009 boot it will be mounted as /home/root. This way you can reflash your phone without losing anything in your home directory (Paroli contacts and settings, maps, etc)
Make sure there isn't a bind-home directory first
ls /media/card/bind-home
If this exists you are already using bind-home, otherwise keep following the directions below and reboot after this
mv /home/root /media/card/bind-home mkdir /home/root
Also update to the latest versions of qi or uboot bootloaders The latest boot loader files are available at http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/
Installing OM2009 is simple as flashing an image. Well, that's what you need to do..
Boot AND REBOOT! The first time it boots there some problems might occur but they're gone after the second boot.
Make sure you use ext2 or ext3 as your file system on uSD. Then check this here: Paroli-developer-setup#Upgrading_Paroli_on_a_uSD_card_installation_of_OM2009
Write your best tips here!!
rm /var/log mkdir /var/log
Nytowl recommends against using the Angstrom feeds, if you want to mix feeds use the shr feeds as they are closer to the Om2009 distro
echo "arch base 50" > /etc/opkg/angstrom-feed.conf echo "src/gz base http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/2008/ipk/glibc/armv4t/base" >> /etc/opkg/angstrom-feed.conf
wget http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/raw-attachment/ticket/2121/gsmhandset.state.new -O /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/gsmhandset.state
modprobe snd-pcm-oss
echo "snd-pcm-oss" > /etc/modutils/snd-pcm-oss update-modules
When we set the very limited goals of OM2009 we had two goals in mind:
1. Give those members of the community who only wanted a daily phone, a distro they could use
2. Introduce technology that would allow the community to come together and improve on these basics
Community interaction, open development and user driven decision making are at the core of Om2009. Going forward this will be an effort with the community for the community. I invite you to join the effort to make om2009 with paroli the best Om-labeled distribution for the Freerunner.
How can you help?
Test the distro, let us know about bugs you find, or even fix them and send us patches.
Tell us about your experiences using om2009, what should we change, where can we improve?
Paroli has come a long way but it still needs a lot of love and optimizing, so if you are into python or efl, check out the code from git.paroli.org, join #paroli on irc and let's get crackin'. There are lots of things to do, opimd needs to be integrated and improved, the UI needs polishing, overall speed can be increased etc etc
More into Chat and email? Feel like writing a jabber/irc/xxx or email client that really fits the screen? Or do you know of one? Let's hear about it. This device has a lot of potential and we are so close to reaching the far corners, the kernel is in good shape, the framework is doing great and telephony apps such as paroli or the shr suite are steadily improving.
So, get your Freerunner in shape again. Flash it with a nice current distro and let it do what it was meant to do :)
Let's make Om2009 a community product, something all of us can be proud of and say "we did this".
