Title: Dates - Calendar
Post by: facs on August 25, 2008, 09:19:20 am

Good Afternoon, I have received my freerunner some days ago, but I can't find  the application Dates (calendar). How can I install it?
Can anyone help me?

Thanks a lot

I assume you are running the default image on the device?  As I recall the package is called openmoko-dates2 in the repository.  You will need to install the package from the command line via the terminal on the phone or via SSH with the USB cable ( http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking (http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/USB_Networking) ).

You also might try upgrading to the OM2008.8 image:

I recommend using this image from Raster:

and adding Zecke's testing repositories to your /etc/opkg/* files:

The via SSH over USB cable run:

opkg update ; opkg upgrade

Then reboot your phone.

Hope this helps

I don't think there is any such thing as a stable image for OpenMoko now, but OM2008.8 is the latest release of what will be the stable image in a few months.  Raster's image has a newer revision of the illume keyboard, which is in my opinion a much better software keyboard.  


You should update your uboot as well, quite a few bugs squashed since the phone was released.

Make sure that you are booted into NOR (hold Aux and then press power) while flashing uboot.

Development is moving right along, but probably not fast enough for some people, there are still some fairly annoying bugs.  I've been using Raster's image + Zecke's updates + This theme ( http://52grad.de/.stuff/freerunner/ (http://52grad.de/.stuff/freerunner/) ) daily for 2 weeks or so.  It is still definitely not a "normal" users phone, but it is good enough to start testing your application ideas.
