How to customize your SHR

You have installed SHR, and now want to customize it. At the moment, graphical interface is not available. You need to modify configuration files using a text editor (vi for example)

Customize the Ringtone

If you want you can personalize the noise that your FR must do for incoming calls or messages. Shortly, you have to modify /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/conf/phone/default.yaml use .ogg or .sid and the default place is /usr/share/sounds/ you can find some at  RingTone

If you like to test a .sid you can play it using this command on the FR:

gst-launch filesrc location=Arkanoid_PSID.sid ! siddec tune=2 ! alsasink

NOTE: it's used a ! not a | to construct the gstreamer pipe command.

Ringtone

You can define a short ringtone, repetead many time, or a long one, repeated 1 time

File: /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/conf/phone/default.yaml

ring-volume # Ring Volume control 0 (mini) to ? maxi)
ring-length # min time for ringtone. Must be greater than the duration of you ringtone
ring-loop # define the number of loop of ringtone to play
ring-tone: "ringtone_ringnroll.ogg" # .ogg example
ring-tone: "Arkanoid_PSID.sid" # .sid example, use default tune
ring-tone: "Arkanoid_PSID.sid;tune=2" # .sid example, plays the second tune of that

Message alert

The same as above, but with message- instead of ring- as parameters! :)

Sound Control

Up to now, there is no graphical interface to control the sound (In fact, there is non official one:  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_Freerunner_audio_subsystem#Volume_Control, not tested with SHR, but should work)

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: Scenarios are used for each case. They are located in /usr/share/openmoko/scenarios/

• 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

Global parameters

You can find them in /etc/frameworkd.conf

Power management

You can adjust parameters in

/etc/freesmartphone/oevents/rules.yaml /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/conf/profiles/default.yaml

GPS

GPS is not started automaticly at boot. You need to switch it ON/OFF manually

method one (the simplest)

 cd /etc/init.d/
 fso-gpsd start

method two

you need to modify the file /etc/init.d/fso-gpsd. Replace the line

start-stop-daemon --start /usr/sbin/fso-gpsd -S localhost:gpsd -P /var/run/${NAME}.pid

by

start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/${NAME}.pid --exec /usr/sbin/fso-gpsd -- -S localhost:gpsd -P /var/run/${NAME}.pid

and then you can start fso-gpsd by

/etc/init.d/fso-gpsd start

method 3 using a GUI

install  http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/ShortOm

and configure it to start/stop fso-gps using method 2

Known issues

As all "testing" version, there are some minor problems.

Corrupted data base: if you receive a call from a number what is not composed of "numbers" (ie #923), the database of phone call is corrupted. The consequences are:

• error when trying to open the phonelog database)

• impossibility to answer an incoming phonecall

Solution: cleaning database

killall ophonekitd 
rm /var/db/phonelog.db

and restart your telephone (the 1rst incoming phonecall can be lost, but at the second one its OK).
