Free mainly mobile software for linux

GNU Mobile-remix 1.0 provides you with another dark theme for your GNOME desktop. It is a mix between the GNU mobile and GNU Tierra themes.

GNOME is an international effort to build a complete desktop environment the graphical user interface which sits on top of a computer operating system entirely from free software. This goal includes creating software development frameworks, selecting application software for the desktop, and working on the programs which manage application launching, file handling, and window and task management.

GNOME is part of the GNU Project and can be used with various Unix-like operating systems, most notably Linux, and as part of Java Desktop System in Solaris.

Enhancements:

• Corrected a few mistakes
• Corrected menubar for those without globalmenu.
• Changed Menu colours.

Requirements:

• GNOME
• Patched pixbuf
• Mist engines installed.

The Linux-Mobile-Guide is a guide for users of Linux and laptops, notebooks, PDAs and other mobile computers.
This guide was former known as Linux-Laptop-HOWTO but was now extended to cover Linux and mobile computer devices in general (laptops, PDAs, mobile cell phones, digital cameras, calculators, wearables, ...). These devices are different from desktop/tower computers.
They use certain hardware such as PCMCIA cards, infrared and BlueTooth ports, batteries, docking stations. Hardware parts cannot be changed as easily as in a desktops, e.g. the graphics card. Often their hardware is more limited (e.g. disk space, CPU speed).
Hardware support for Linux (and other operating systems) on mobile devices is sometimes more limited (e.g. graphics chips, internal modems). They often use specialized hardware, hence finding a driver can be more difficult. Many times they are used in changing environments, so there is a need for multiple configurations and additional security strategies.
The Linux-Mobile-Guide explains installation methods for laptops and PDAs and configurations for different (network) environments, security issues for portable computers and much more. TuxMobil is the origin of the Linux-Mobile-Guide and provides always the latest issue available for download.
Enhancements:
- A link to keytouch has been made in the Extra Keys section.

Mobile::Wurfl is a Perl module interface to WURFL (the Wireless Universal Resource File.

SYNOPSIS

my $wurfl = Mobile::Wurfl->new(
wurfl_home => "/path/to/wurfl/home",
db_descriptor => "DBI:mysql:database=wurfl:host=localhost",
db_username => wurfl,
db_password => wurfl,
wurfl_url => q{http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/wurfl.xml}
);

my $dbh = DBI->connect( $db_descriptor, $db_username, $db_password );
my $wurfl = Mobile::Wurfl->new( dbh => $dbh );

my $desc = $wurfl->get( db_descriptor );
$wurfl->set( wurfl_home => "/another/path" );

$wurfl->create_tables( $sql );
$wurfl->update();
$wurfl->get_wurfl();
$wurfl->rebuild_tables();

my @devices = $wurfl->devices();

for my $device ( @devices )
{
print "$device->{user_agent} : $device->{id}n";
}

my @groups = $wurfl->groups();
my @capabilities = $wurfl->capabilities();
for my $group ( @groups )
{
@capabilities = $wurfl->capabilities( $group );
}

my $ua = $wurfl->canonical_ua( "SonyEricssonK750i/R1J Browser/SEMC-Browser/4.2 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1" );
my $deviceid = $wurfl->deviceid( $ua );

my $wml_1_3 = $wurfl->lookup( $ua, "wml_1_3" );
print "$wml_1_3->{name} = $wml_1_3->{value} : in $wml_1_3->{group}n";
my $fell_back_to = wml_1_3->{deviceid};
my $width = $wurfl->lookup_value( $ua, "max_image_height", no_fall_back => 1 );
$wurfl->cleanup();

Mobile::Wurfl is a perl module that provides an interface to mobile device information represented in wurfl (http://wurfl.sourceforge.net/). The Mobile::Wurfl module works by saving this device information in a database (preferably mysql).

It offers an interface to create the relevant database tables from a SQL file containing "CREATE TABLE" statements (a sample is provided with the distribution). It also provides a method for updating the data in the database from the wurfl.xml file hosted at http://www.nusho.it/wurfl/dl.php?t=d&f=wurfl.xml.
It provides methods to query the database for lists of capabilities, and groups of capabilities. It also provides a method for generating a "canonical" user agent string (see "canonical_ua").

Finally, it provides a method for looking up values for particular capability / user agent combinations. By default, this makes use of the hierarchical "fallback" structure of wurfl to lookup capabilities fallback devices if these capabilities are not defined for the requested device.

Mobile Web Proxy is a (CGI) tool to make more Web pages available from some mobile devices (cell phone Web browsers, etc.).
When I began using my cell phones mobile web browser, one of the things I realized was that there were a lot of web pages that my cell phones web browser simply wouldnt let me see. My shiny new Motorola Razr from T-Mobile, for many pages, would display an error message like "413: Page cannot be displayed." It happened annoyingly often; browsing the web from my cell phone was a lot like trying to read a book or a magazine with large chunks simply ripped out. And when I tried troubleshooting, I might have missed something, but it seemed like a big problem without an easily available solution.
So I tried to provide my own solution. I made a proxy that would present webpages for the mobile web so that they would display in a way that would work for my cell phones web browser. Technologies include paging, tag cleaning, and optional caching to improve performance, but without getting into technical details, this means that I can access some pages on the web that I couldnt access earlier.
Enhancements:
- A bug that caused the script to spuriously report 404 errors was fixed.
- A smaller default page size was set so that tag-rich pages would be rendered in a way more likely to be displayable on mobile Web browsers.

Raine is a M68000 and M68020 arcade game emulator.

Raine is an emulator, it emulates some M68000 and M68020 arcade games and is mainly focused on Taito and Jaleco games hardware.

It started as an experiment with the Rainbow Islands romset, dumped by Aracorn/Romlist. Raine can emulate many nice games now, and new games (previously unemulated) are appearing weekly.

Sound is also getting better, mainly thanks to the work of Hiromitsu Shioya

playvideo is a video player for svgalib that supports AVI, Quicktime (though not all codecs are supported), MPEG-1, and MPEG-2 formats. Most of the codecs are ported from xanim (or are xanim binary codecs). The parts from xanim are to be found mainly in the vidplay.c file. This makes this program subject to the xanim copyright (see README.xanim).

You can use the program for non-commercial purpose, but you need a License from Mark Podlipec for commercial use. Modified versions have included Marks copyright.
