Applications

New Applications

nEoTheme

a FAST high contrast theme package consisting of an enlightenment (illume) theme, elementary theme, etk theme, libframeworkd-phonegui-efl theme and an icon theme. (the opkg.org feed doesnt seem to be updated correctly so the themes have to be installed one by one)

Homepage: http://www.opkg.org/package_249.html
Package: shr-theme-neo
Tested on: ?

Travel Diary

Travel Diary is an application to write a little diary entry and save it in a .csv file. You then can send this file via a script to your server that generates a .kml file for your friends, displays a map. You can find the sources (including basic server example scripts) here.

eneoset

Mike Crash has created small utility with ELM named eneoset. Keep in mind that this is intended for debian OS using enlightment libraries. Changing USB current limit still doesn't work, but it is able to:

change backlight
turn on or off bluetooth
turn on or off Wi-Fi
change USB device/host mode.

Homepage: http://www.mikecrash.com/index.php?name=Content&pa=showpage&pid=10
Package: eneoset
Tested on: Debian

Intone 0.60

after quite a few tweaks there is the latest version of Intone. You will need mplayer to use Intone. There is a low CPU consuming mplayer-tremor version here. OpenMoko distibution users will need separate version of intone and might need following dependencies:

Changes in this version of intone:

hopefully better top bar in playlist vie
change priority from gui
change playing song icon to play in list
fixes to better support logical order when changing from random->normal and vice versa
support bluetooth streaming to A2DP sets from intone (__you'll have to pair the headset yourself__)
better time display on progress bar
even better scan routine (please rescan your songs for the right names to be picked up)
some code speedups
fixed ui break in album art view with long song names

Homepage: http://www.opkg.org/package_190.html
Package: intone
Tested on: Om2009T5

Literki 0.0.2-r3

This is a new version of your favourite keyboard. The mechanism for showing/hiding the keyboard has changed, now you show/hide Literki by sliding bottom right corner with your finger. You can configure what distance you need to slide. If you just click the bottom right corner, the click goes through to the application, so it (almost) doesn't affect using other applications when the keyboard is hidden. This update is concentrated on using libfreetype for fonts. Screenshot is available here. Literki configuration file explanation is here. OpenMoko users will need libfakekey as a dependency. Main changes are:

it supports Unicode input. Tested only with Polish diacritic signs.
it looks much nicer
the keys are much more visible when transparent, thus transparency is on by default
you can change the font and size

Homepage: [ ]
Package: literki
Tested on: Om2009T5

Saskia 0.0.1

Is a wi-fi management tool. It currently supports WPA-encrypted and open Networks, while WEP-Support is planned for the Future. You can download end user documentation. OpenMoko users might need python-wifi package as a dependency.

Community

The University of São Paulo's intent to join Openmoko development.

Ben Wilson wrote a wiki page for the un-bricking GTA01 using a simple LPT -> JTAG circuit. It may also work for doing some actual debugging and should be pretty easy to wire up to gta02 as well.

David Lanzendörfer has managed to boot OpenMoko on the HTC-Dream with framebuffer console. That means: Android linux kernel + OpenMoko (Angstrom) user space. If someone is interested in participating the development, youre welcome to help. David started writing wiki on installing OpenMoko on HTC-Dream.

omgps author, Meng Qingyou has announced moving omgps project to new location at projects.openmoko.org.

Most important and change making mails on the mailing lists, blogs etc.. Coolest hacks, screenshots, themes etc..
