Top Menu
The top menu is now your task switcher and is activated by touching the down arrow. Press "remove" to close currently focused application.

Follow this guide (Windows Users)to share your internet with your phone.
To share your internet connection on a Linux host follow this USB networking guide.
After you install and run [Om 2008.8 ] for the first time you have to restart to get the USB working. Once you have done that you have to ssh into your phone (192.168.0.202) to edit your /etc/network/interfaces so you can access the internet through USB to install software and updates.
Edit the USB section to look like this:
auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 up echo nameserver 208.67.222.222 > /etc/resolv.conf up echo nameserver 208.67.220.220 >> /etc/resolv.conf
If you have a 192.168.0.* network, with .200 to .203 ip not used, you can do the following on FR:
auto usb0 iface usb0 inet static address 192.168.0.202 netmask 255.255.255.252 network 192.168.0.200 gateway 192.168.0.201
and set your host ip to 201. Don't forget to modify routing and check USB networking guide for a DNS MASQ using 192.168.0.201 as FR DNS.
See Neo FreeRunner Wifi for details on how to use Wifi to connect your FR to the internet.
If you decide not to install the Unofficial Zecke updates you should install "illume-config" to can gain access to more advanced power management features and to change the look of the GUI through the wrench that will now appear in the top bar. (Restart your phone)
There are 2 media players available for the 2008.8 device.
Seems to be a very nice application, place media in " ~/Documents/ " or " /media/card/ "
Install it using the "install" application or by typing:
opkg install qtopia-phone-x11-mediaplayer
Sice this media player currently is based on the pulseaudio sound server --- and this sound server breaks all phone applications using sound as soon as the phone goes into power saving mode it is unwise to install this application at this time.
If you have already install this application you have to uninstall pulseaudio, as well, to get your phone working as a phone again.
This Media Player is basically useless due to the default theme, to. To install with a better theme run:
opkg install openmoko-mediaplayer2 wget http://abraxa.dyndns.org:81/random/openmoko-mediaplayer-theme.tar.bz2 tar xjf openmoko-mediaplayer-theme.tar.bz2 -C /usr/share/themes/Moko/gtk-2.0 rm openmoko-mediaplayer-theme.tar.bz2
