SHR is based on Linux kernel and [http://www.openembedded.org/ Openembedded]. <tt>X.org</tt> is providing X server environment and [[Illume2]] (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 <tt>phoneuid</tt> daemon is run with X server start-up and it communicates with FSO via <tt>phonefsod</tt> using <tt>DBus</tt>. SHR phone applications talk to both <tt>phonefsod</tt> and <tt>phoneuid</tt> 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 <tt>libphone-ui-shr</tt> library, ''Phonelog'' is an extra application written in python-gtk.

You should currently install the [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-unstable/images/om-gta02/?C=M;O=D unstable] build, but keep an eye on [http://blog.shr-project.org/ the shr blog] as the developers may occasionally "break" things in the name of progress ;-)

You can alternatively use the [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/ testing] version, however as of writing this is very out of date.

Alternatively, you may install it on uSD (for instance with Qi, by extracting contents of the [http://build.shr-project.org/shr-testing/images/om-gta02/shr-lite-image-om-gta02.tar.gz root filesystem tarball] on a primary ext2/3 partition.

For the next configuration steps, you will need to type some commands. It is much easier to type on a real keyboard than on a touch screen.

So you need to connect your FR to you computer, and make a bridge to internet.

== 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
+
−
 
+
−
== Changing root password ==
+
−
SHR is shipped without root password (just press enter)
+
−
 
+
−
This is dangerous if you connect using USB. You need to activate the root password:
+
−
 
+
−
passwd
+
−
 
+
−
and type your selected password (2 times)
+
−
 
+
−
== Customize the RingTone ==
+
−
You need to have a file containing the RingTone you want for your FR. You can find some at [http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Ringtones#svn.openmoko.org_ringtones RingTone]
+
−
 
+
−
Then transfer it to your FR :
+
−
scp file root@192.168.0.202:/usr/share/sounds/
+
−
 
+
−
Now you can select ringtone in SHR Settings.
+
−
 
+
−
== Install PIM Software ==
+
−
If you want to use your iCal-Calendar data on your freerunner install "dates" on your FR. Your FR needs internet connection for the following installation procedure (see [[USB Networking]])
+
−
  opkg update
+
−
  opkg install dates tasks
+
−
Start dates once and enter a test event. You will find the <tt>calendar.ics</tt> file in a subdirectory of
+
−
  /home/root/.evolution/calendar/system/local
+
−
You can find the <tt>tasks.ics</tt> file in a subdirectory of
+
−
  /home/root/.evolution/tasks/system/local
+
−
Copy your exported iCal-File to that folders mentioned above and replace <tt>calender.ics</tt> and <tt>tasks.ics</tt>. The events will be visible in PIM-software <i>dates</i>, when you restart your freerunner.
+
−
 
+
−
<b>Question:</b> Is there a workaround to make the application <tt>dates</tt> and <tt>tasks</tt> to reload the iCal files during runtime?
+
−
 
+
−
== 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.
+
−
 
+
−
Generic info to the Neo soundsystem:

== 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 [gopher://gopher.fnordpol.de/9/data/DbusAccessScripts_0.0.0.tar.gz this] script written by [[User:Zem#DBus_Access_Scripts|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
+
−
 
+
−
=== opkg upgrade "fork failed" ===
+
−
 
+
−
http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/531
+
−
 
+
−
Beware that a failed opkg upgrade can result in a non-booting phone :-(
+
−
 
+
−
Workaround:
+
−
 
+
−
opkg update
+
−
cd /media/card
+
−
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile.swp bs=1k count=128000
+
−
mkswap swapfile.swp
+
−
swapon swapfile.swp
+
−
opkg upgrade
+
−
swapoff swapfile.swp
+
  
−
Note that using your card for swap could potentially wear it out faster, though probably no need to worry just for the above workaround.

SHR

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. X.org is providing X server environment and Illume2 (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 phoneuid daemon is run with X server start-up and it communicates with FSO via phonefsod using DBus. SHR phone applications talk to both phonefsod and phoneuid 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 libphone-ui-shr library, Phonelog is an extra application written in python-gtk.

Install

Installing SHR is very easy. It is stable enough for a daily use.

You should currently install the unstable build, but keep an eye on the shr blog as the developers may occasionally "break" things in the name of progress ;-)

You can alternatively use the testing version, however as of writing this is very out of date.

A "stable" version will be available when the time is right.

The image links above are for GTA02 (Freerunner). See also other images

I suppose that you know how to use NeoTool, or are able to flash the following to your Neo :

- the Qi bootloader (optional, u-boot should work as well)

- the kernel

- the root filesystem : flash image

Alternatively, you may install it on uSD (for instance with Qi, by extracting contents of the root filesystem tarball on a primary ext2/3 partition.

You can view the sources here.

Connecting your FreeRunner to your computer

For the next configuration steps, you will need to type some commands. It is much easier to type on a real keyboard than on a touch screen. So you need to connect your FR to you computer, and make a bridge to internet. Use the USB Networking page for help about configuring your host computer. NOTE: On first boot after flashing, USB networking can not work. If it's happening, simply reboot and try again.

When you have internet connection forwarded via USB (for example), before anything else you can refresh repositories by running: 

opkg update

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

Changing root password

SHR is shipped without root password (just press enter)

This is dangerous if you connect using USB. You need to activate the root password: 

passwd

and type your selected password (2 times)

Customize the RingTone

You need to have a file containing the RingTone you want for your FR. You can find some at RingTone

Then transfer it to your FR : 

scp file root@192.168.0.202:/usr/share/sounds/

Now you can select ringtone in SHR Settings.

Install PIM Software

If you want to use your iCal-Calendar data on your freerunner install "dates" on your FR. Your FR needs internet connection for the following installation procedure (see USB Networking) 

 opkg update
 opkg install dates tasks

Start dates once and enter a test event. You will find the calendar.ics file in a subdirectory of 

 /home/root/.evolution/calendar/system/local

You can find the tasks.ics file in a subdirectory of 

 /home/root/.evolution/tasks/system/local

Copy your exported iCal-File to that folders mentioned above and replace calender.ics and tasks.ics. The events will be visible in PIM-software dates, when you restart your freerunner.

Question: Is there a workaround to make the application dates and tasks to reload the iCal files during runtime?

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.

Generic info to the Neo soundsystem:

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

opkg upgrade "fork failed"

http://trac.shr-project.org/trac/ticket/531

Beware that a failed opkg upgrade can result in a non-booting phone :-(

Workaround: 

opkg update
cd /media/card
dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile.swp bs=1k count=128000
mkswap swapfile.swp
swapon swapfile.swp
opkg upgrade
swapoff swapfile.swp

Note that using your card for swap could potentially wear it out faster, though probably no need to worry just for the above workaround.
