Well I went ahead and gave it a try, if I don't like it I can easily flash something else on it, but it seems that once you have SHR running contacts are able to be added by hand but I don't know if they are saved to the SIM card or to the phone.

Sure, you can add contacts manually, and they will be saved to the SIM.

What to do when apps keep crashing?
Lately my freerunner seems to have gotten more unstable, some of the things that it is doing include: 1. Not wanting to fully connect during phone calls, it says it is connected but I can't hear them and they can't hear me (this may be a problem with my carrier, T-Moble sucks around here) 2. Sound not working, I had my phone in vibrate and ring which use to work but now it only vibrates 3. The config app crashes when I try and launch it, so I can't change any of its setting like turn on or off services, can't connect to wifi, etc... 4. GPS doesn't fully work, in the sets program that comes with FDOM it takes a couple of minutes before it starts finding satelites but in TangoGPS it never can find any even after 10+ minutes. 5. Installing/upgrading a program with opkg breaks it I have expectecd problems like these when I bought my freerunner but I can't find a fix for any of them, flashing my kernel and distro only delays the problem, it always comes back if not there after flashing it. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
