GameRunner [0.2]
GameRunner is an Openmoko Linux distribution. It aims at converting the Freerunner open mobile phone in a Linux-based handheld game console. It is simple, and contains cool and suitable open source games for Linux mobile devices.
New stuff :
- new simple app fileselector (finger friendly), useful for Super Nintendo Emulator and Mplayer
- added Snes9x (Super Nintendo Emulator), Mplayer, GNURobbo, fatfingershell, and Block Rage game
- pressing power button any time quits the current game (resets X and GUI)
- added help screen for every game using GameRunner game control
The help screen also asks user to start the game with sound or no sound.
Changes :
- fixes in Gamerunner game control : works always and better. Now red aux
button light means mode 2, so we can know which mode is the current one.
Touchscreen control is more accurate.

SHR [unstable]
SHR is a community driven GNU/Linux distribution for smartphones based on OpenEmbedded using E17 (illume) as window manager and own gui apps on top of FSO.
Most important changes from last month are:
- ogsmd written in python was replaced with fsogsmd written in vala, which is much faster and uses less memory
- All SHR apps were adjusted to slightly changed api of gsm daemon and now everything works out-of-the box with fsogsmd
- SMSs are no longer temporary saved to SIM
- Deep-sleep and echo cancellation for calypso is configureable in fsogsmd config.
- HAL is no longer installed by default
- Toolchain is continuously upgraded (now we're using eglibc-2.12, gcc-4.4.4 and we're testing gcc-4.5 which should generate faster code for our armv4t).
- Changelog for all libs/apps included in image
- Changelog for SHR apps
- We are testing newer 2.6.32 and 2.6.34 kernels available here, please read readme there and test it too.
