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.
For more information please visit Paroli website

Paroli actually makes FR a simple, very working phone!!
To install the Om2009 distribution download the uImage and fso-paroli-image from http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/testing/NeoFreerunner/
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.
Download paroli from http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-milestone5/feeds//armv4t/paroli_0.2.1+gitr7a2...442-r0_armv4t.ipk
or from http://downloads.openmoko.org/distro/experimental/
git clone http://git.paroli-project.org/paroli.git/
What's in the main menu?
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 change the theme (Illume / Paroli / Paroli-serenity)?
Open settings, click on "display" and then hit "profile". This will change the profile to the next: after some rumbling on the screen you will have the new theme activated.
To change to paroli-serenity on command line, run:
DISPLAY=:0 mdbus org.enlightenment.wm.service /org/enlightenment/wm/RemoteObject org.enlightenment.wm.Profile.Set paroli-serenity
How do I shut it down?
To turn off Paroli, use the Illume top bar: click the bar when running Paroli and click on the red X to shut down Paroli.
To kill it from command line:
pkill paroli
To turn of the whole phone, 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
How do I close an application? When illume or paroli-serenity theme is activated (see above), clicking the top bar will show you 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.?
The messages will be saved to /home/root/.paroli
