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.

In the overview below are all the essential features and their status for the current out of the box SHR unstable distribution (latest+modules+updates). Green indicates that this part is functioning well, red indicates a known requirement which will be implemented later on and orange indicates functionality that can (and should) be fixed easily in the distribution for known fixes are available.

Setting local time

As any linux system, the UTC time is used by the system. First of all, adjust this time:

date -u -s 010220052009
Fri Jan  2 20:05:00 UTC 2009

Then, you need to "localise" your system. Search for the appropriate country with:

opkg list | grep tzdata

then install the one corresponding to your area.

opkg install tzdata-europe

Then select your city (search the city available in /usr/share/zoneinfo/your-country, example Paris)

ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Paris /etc/localtime

You can fully localise your system by installing the glibc-binary-localedata correponding to your langage. Search the ones available with:

opkg list | grep glibc-binary-localedata

install with (example for France)

opkg install glibc-binary-localedata-fr-fr




Known Issues

Address Book

SHR is not implementing a PIM (Personal Information Manager) yet. Work is in progress, but to included in SHR testing this has some consequences on daily use:

  • Only contacts on the SIM card are available.
  • It is not possible to import a Vcard file.
    • It seems to be possible with this script written by Zem.

No ringing

After a suspend, the FR does not ringing anymore for incoming calls, it only vibrates. This is due to navit. To correct this :

 opkg remove -force-depends speech-dispatcher

Sound Control

Mic and HP

The first idea is to use alsamixer; bad idea! There are 94 controls, and your modifications will be lost at the next reboot.Finding documentation is not easy. Here is my understanding: Scenari are used for each case. They are located in /usr/share/shr/scenarii/ - capturehandset.state - gsmheadset.state - headset.state - voip-handset.state - gsmhandset.state - gsmspeakerout.state - stereoout.state

Each file is a set of value for the 94 parameters. I have identified some:

- Control 48: internal mic of the tel (set to 2 or 3)

- Control 4 : internal speaker (set from 110 to 120)

- Control 49: headset mic

- Control 3 : headset speaker

NOTE: every Neo seems to be different regarding audio. Probably you have to tweak your own audio config.
