By now the internals have changed, instead of 4 separate programs i have just 2, the daemon and the optional gui. integrating it in QTMoko is possible, there are some instructions on the website [2], although i did not try that with the current version. The Original Poster has no screen anymore, so integrating it with QTMoko would be difficult for him. You could give the old version a try, to see how it works for you, and if you like it i can setup a download link for the latest and greatest version.

You could use the freerunner as a SMS gateway, you don't need a screen for that. That is something i use, i can send a text message and perform some action (switching lights on or off ) Or have a text message send to my other phone if a long running job is done. Would you like to explain how do you do that? (: Regards Francesco ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Would you like to explain how do you do that? (: Regards Francesco Sure, A while ago i wrote a daemon that handles the GSM modem ( phone calls and text messages ) The gui is separate from the daemon and can be run on a remote computer. ( desktop, laptop, whatever ) The daemon listens on stdin and sends output to stdout, so you can use it without a screen at all. You need to flash the root image and the kernel and after that you can login via ssh trough USB. After you set up your wlan, you can ssh in and read and send text messages etc. If you think this is something you would like to try, please let me know, so i can provide you with the kernel and the rootfs image for you to flash.

Now I know that you can get a replacement for about 80EUR. Even though this is still an option it is a bit expensive regarding the fact that the phone is now 6years old. The phone itself still works as I can ssh into QtMoko. So I have two questions a) did anyone ever manage to connect the phone to some other type of newer screen (eg to build an incar navigation system?) b) if I ever wanted install something new, how would I proceed only with ssh as a visual feedback (if at all): Qtmoko and SHR need the user to calibrate the screen inbetween, so I don't know where they will get stuck during installation. Maybe you can share your ideas on what to do with such a device. Many thanks and happy easter Robin Hi Robin, You could use the freerunner as a SMS gateway, you don't need a screen for that. That is something i use, i can send a text message and perform some action (switching lights on or off ) Or have a text message send to my other phone if a long running job is done. Any idea if the touch screen still works? you might be able to use it as a mp3 player, or alarm clock if it does. Or use it as a gps tracking device. If you like none of the ideas, you could also donate it to the community, perhaps someone can use it as a base for a gta04.
