Download dfu-util and copy to /usr/bin (if you are windows user then you need to download dfu-util.exe and copy to x:/windows), kernel and rootFS. Plug your FreeRunner into a USB port and boot it into the nand boot loader, hold down the aux button and then the power button until nor appears.

and then rootFS

dfu-util -a rootfs -R -D qtmoko-debian-v15.jffs2

After finishing the installation you have to start the freerunner and calibrate the touch screen.

You should have FAT as first partition and swap on /dev/mmcblk0p4.

Can be changed in /etc/fstab

Using QT 4.6 (with 2 patches that should be upstream in QT 4.6.1)
Better QVGA support (no flickering for QMplayer videos now)
Reading contacts from SIM in unicode (Ant)
Wlan – fixed WPA-PSK with AES (Torfinn Ingolfsen)
Fixed RTC problems after apt-get upgrade
10MB smaller image size – no python preinstalled now

Ghost Commander, download

linux_mobile — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:59:29 +0000

Ghost Commander is file manager for Android platform inspired by (Norton, Midnight, Total Commander) application.

It’s the only functional android file manager with two panels and it allows you copy or move files and directories by pressing a single key instead of that cut or copy or paste boredom.
Also it can do the standard set of operations such as create and delete folders, open a text file for editing, etc.
The operations are bound to number keys, with same numbers as in the prototype applications (5=copy, 6=move, 7=make directory, 8=delete).
