SHR is one of the many distributions that currently work on the Openmoko phones. You can compare a distribution with an Operating System on normal computers. It gives the phone all the software needed for operating. For more information about the different flavors, see distributions.
SHR (Stable Hybrid Release) is a community driven distribution based on the FSO framework. SHR can use several different graphical toolkits, for example GTK or EFL. At first, SHR was introduced in order to use the Om 2007.2 GTK software in combination with the new FSO, but things have changed, now SHR comes with a full SHR User Manual in the OpenMoko-Wiki, that supports novice users in their first steps and SHR moves forward to a distribution for every day use.
SHR is based on linux kernel and Openembedded. XGlamo is providing X server environment and Illume (Enlightment window manager module for small devices) is providing comfortable finger controlled desktop environment. Under the hood of the pretty desktop there is FSO middleware talking to the GSM modem, GPS module as well as to the other bits of hardware. SHR ophonekitd daemon is run with X server start-up and it communicates with FSO via d-bus. SHR phone applications talk to ophonekitd and also to FSO so for example when you receive a phone call, the dialer is launched to provide a way of answering it. Dialer, Contacts and Messages applications are part of the SHR internal libframeworkd-phonegui-efl library, Phonelog is an extra application written in python-gtk.
