2 Maemo Leste keeps kicking in! |
|
|
|

|
|
|
5 The ultimate hacker's toy project: a OpenSource powered hand-held computer. |

8 Where to start from? |
|
|
|
9 There can be two walls preventing every Linux enthusiast from having its own phone with a Linux Powered sticket on it: |
|
|
|
10 . |
|
|
|
11 .IP 1. |
|
|
|
12 hardware support: getting Linux to boot on these twisted hardware setups that smartphones are can be frustrating. |
|
|
|
13 . |
|
|
|
14 .IP 2. |
|
|
|
15 application support: writing all the tools that make a plain unix shell useable as a phone. |
|
|
|
16 It may be as simple as a daemon watching incoming phone call from hardware abstractions (those from in 1.) |
|
|
|
17 and playing a ringtone.wav whenever a call comes in, |
|
|
|
18 it still has to be written. |
|
|
|
19 Same goes for a keyboard application if it uses a touch-screen. |
|
|
|
20 Same goes for anything. |
|

23 Since it goes beyond the scope of a week-end hack, |
|
|
|
24 collaboration takes place for making these projects happen. |

27 Maemo Leste is now existing since more than four years, and keeps being developed at good pace. |
|
|
|
28 It even shines where Android does not: |
|
|
|
29 it uses mainline Linux kernel instead of forks that never get upgraded nor contributed back to Linux. |
|
|
|
30 This means that all software officially supported by Maemo Leste might also be available to many more Linux-based projects. |
|
|
|

|
|
|
33 Of course, there are non-official porting efforts for more hardware underway to become a completely supported target. |
|
|
|
34 Like it is for every operating system project. |

37 Maemo Leste, the project bringing a real UNIX shell where you only had a Android Java ecosystem, |
|
|
|
38 featuring GPS chips reverse engineering, and a working phone module. |
|
|
|
39 . |
|

|
40 .PP |
|
|
|
41 The support for the inexpensive PinePhone means you can get a fully working linux phone in your pocket. |
|
|
|
42 Grab it while it is hot, the lack of bloated prebuilt application forced into it by the vendor means it will not catch fire! |
