World Wide availability of Google Android Source Code for Freerunner (Android misc)

Koolu is proud to announce availability of Google’s Android Platform source code for the Openmoko phone “FreeRunner”.

While Android was released as open source software in late October, a certain amount of work had to be done to get the code to work on other manufacturer’s phones. The FreeRunner, an open design of phone from Taiwan-based OpenMoko, needed certain changes to the Android code to have it work properly. The free software community, with the help of people all over the world, was able to change the source code to have it run on the FreeRunner.

The code will be located in a git repository at git.koolu.org and the instructions and other information will be located in a forum at forum.koolu.org

Scrobble Droid v1.0.3 (Android Application)

Scrobble Droid watches the music you listen to and sends information about it to Last.fm, where they use that information to do things like make personalized charts for you and make recommendations about other music you might like.

Changes:

Changed the Last.fm sign-up link to the regular (non-mobile) version because the CAPTCHA on the mobile version was apparently not always working.

FBReaderJ v0.2.2 (Android Application)

FBReaderJ is an e-book reader for the Android platform. It is a clone of the FBReader book reader written in Java by the same authors. FBReaderJ supports several e-book formats: oeb, epub, and fb2. Direct reading from zip, tar, and gzip archives is supported.

Changes:

Book scrolling is now more Androidish. To scroll a text, you should move your finger over the touchscreen. Volume +/- keys on the left side of the device are used for the text scrolling too. The ‘Add Book’ dialog has been changed to be more convenient for finger tapping. Book position saving has been fixed.

Manic8Ball v1.0.1 (Android misc)

Manic 8 Ball turns your phone into a magic 8 ball.

Release notes:

Update : November 3, 2008 – Source code now submitted. Enjoy!

I hacked this together rather quickly so I could use my Google phone to be a magic 8 ball for my Halloween costume based on Manic 8-Ball from the Venture Brothers.

This app isn’t much. It’s full screen and packed with 20 random messages, a few of which are my own fun ones for my party. But, you can change it easily enough. I forced the app layout to landscape (for my costume). And, the message changes by simply tapping the screen.

Enjoy!
