Err bitreich.org 70 i 3 .2C 31v Err bitreich.org 70 i 4 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 5 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 6 The ultimate hacker's toy project: a OpenSource powered hand-held computer. Err bitreich.org 70 i 7 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 8 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 9 Where to start from? Err bitreich.org 70 i 10 There can be two walls preventing every Linux enthusiast from having its own phone with a "Linux Powered" sticker on it: Err bitreich.org 70 i 11 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 12 .IP 1. Err bitreich.org 70 i 13 hardware support: getting Linux to boot on the twisted hardware setups of smartphones can be frustrating. Err bitreich.org 70 i 14 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 15 .IP 2. Err bitreich.org 70 i 16 application support: writing all the tools that make a plain unix shell useable as a phone, Err bitreich.org 70 i 17 that we usually take for granted on a phone operating system. Err bitreich.org 70 i 18 It may be as simple as a daemon watching incoming phone call from hardware abstractions (those from in 1.) Err bitreich.org 70 i 19 and playing a ringtone.wav whenever a call comes in, Err bitreich.org 70 i 20 it still has to be written. Err bitreich.org 70 i 21 Same goes for a keyboard application if it uses a touch-screen. Err bitreich.org 70 i 22 Same goes for anything. Err bitreich.org 70 i 23 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 24 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 25 Since it goes beyond the scope of a week-end hack, Err bitreich.org 70 i 26 collaboration takes place for making these projects happen. Err bitreich.org 70 i 27 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 28 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 29 Maemo Leste is now existing since more than four years, and keeps being developed at good pace. Err bitreich.org 70 i 30 It even shines where Android does not: Err bitreich.org 70 i 31 it uses mainline Linux kernel instead of forks that never get upgraded nor contributed back to Linux. Err bitreich.org 70 i 32 This means that all software officially supported by Maemo Leste might also be available to many more Linux-based projects. Err bitreich.org 70 i 33 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 34 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 35 Of course, there are non-official porting efforts for more hardware underway to become a completely supported target. Err bitreich.org 70 i 36 Like it is for every operating system project. Err bitreich.org 70 i 37 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 38 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 39 Maemo Leste, the project bringing a real UNIX shell where you only had a Android Java ecosystem, Err bitreich.org 70 i 40 featuring GPS chips reverse engineering, and a working phone module. Err bitreich.org 70 i 41 . Err bitreich.org 70 i 42 .PP Err bitreich.org 70 i 43 The support for the inexpensive PinePhone means you can get a fully working linux phone in your pocket. Err bitreich.org 70 i 44 Grab it while it is hot, the lack of bloated prebuilt application forced into it by the vendor means it will not catch fire! Err bitreich.org 70 i 45 .
