Contributions from message board members are more than welcome. You'll get full
credit for your contributions. Your hacks and improvements have to match the original
image as published or others cannot use them. More specific I think about new scripts,
script changes, scripts to install USB devices, background gifs, flash intros and how to's. I'll need a small description
and which version it should go with.
Contributions that need libs should include a summary of those and I will add them. In
general it should be possible to download these hacks uncompressed direct in Audrey
with voyager for ease of use. If you have something let me know. I will publish small
improvements myself here that will be included in later updates.
Together we can give Audrey users more choices to customize their Audrey the way they want.
This goes for most downloads. Most files you can copy over the old ones, unless
noted otherwise. If you want to keep your old file, use FileManager or mv to rename the old
file first with the help of Edit/Rename (add extension .old) and save the download in place of the original. Now
you can always do the opposite and rename the new file (add extension .new) and bring the old file back.
Executables need a chmod +x or highlight the file and use File/Inspect... with FileManager and check all three
"execs" and press done with the same result as a chmod +x.
If you use a new .cfg file all your own previous changes for that app will be gone, if any at all.
You can compress large executables by using the cmp command in their respective
/.cmp/directory. If I tell you to save in /.cmp/.. the file is compressed already and
with most executables and libs you have to chmod +x the file in their
regular directory (without /.cmp) to make them executable again. Always have a
flash card available for emergencies.

Don't forget to chmod +x these utilities in their regular directory without /.cmp
If you print a lot with Audrey "Spooler Ctrl" could be a nice extra feature:
Download Spooler Ctrl and "Save as" prjobs in /nto/photon/bin
Make a new Shelf Menu entry for this little app and be in control of your local
and network print jobs from Audrey.
For serious MP3 playing I recommend using phjuke.
Start original phjuke as follows: nice -n-5 /yourshare/phjuke (Replace yourshare with the name of your share)
and MP3 playing will work like a charm. Or even better use the new and better
phjuke from davinci, using renice.

Take full advantage of the networking capabilities in this image by downloading your
script choice, instead of editing them. "Save as" networkUSB.sh in /kojak, press Config/Use
USB twice and reboot for the change to take effect. See the manual how to activate qnet.
To have the full advantage of the full stack use /nto/photon/mount, ifconfig and:

By adding the following links in /kojak/boot.sh you will have the use of the RTP
mount and all it's extra features from anywhere in Audrey and you won't be
bothered by the hard coded crippled mount in Audrey anymore:
ln -sP /nto/photon/bin/mount /proc/boot/mount
ln -sP /nto/photon/bin/mount /nto/bin/mount
Use these utilities in addition to nice and renice:
For serious MP3 playing I recommend using phjuke.
Start original phjuke as follows:
nice -n-5 /yourshare/phjuke (Replace yourshare with the name of your share) and
MP3 playing will work like a charm. Or even better use the new phjuke from davinci,
using renice, included in this image already too.
For serious MP3 playing I recommend using the new and better phjuke by davinci
and MP3 playing will work like a charm.
Uncompressed files you download need to be compressed in their respective /.cmp/..
directory. Use cd in terminal to go to their /.cmp/.. directory and use cmp to
compress the file with cmp "file-name" after you have downloaded all you want.
In general uncompressed libs don't need chmod +x, only when you have problems I suggest
you do a chmod +x on them. All executables do need a chmod +x to make them executable again.
I assume you download what you need. You have enough storage space to download
all of them and if you compress them properly you will still have about 2 meg of storage space.
Reboot before you start the downloads, you'll need a clean /tmp dir for compression.
I recommned you download first, do the chmod +x where necessary and when everything works as
advertised you do the compression of the files. Here is an example:
When you have saved mpegaudio in /nto/photon/bin
You make the file executable again in Terminal with: chmod +x /nto/photon/bin/mpegaudio
chmod is an executable and +x are parms. If you do it right all that happens is getting the prompt back.
To compress the file, first use this command in Terminal: cd /.cmp/nto/photon/bin
Next: cmp mpegaudio and you'll see the compression on screen, showing the file size before and after compression.
For other files you just adjust the path accordingly as needed, depending on where you saved them.
Make your choice from these apps. Sometimes you need two of them as indicated.
Download CallerID and "Save as" acid in /nto/photon/bin
See Sketchy's site for more info about setup
Download AlarmClock and PhAlarm.wav and "Save as" PhAlarm and PhAlarm.wav in /nto/pohoton/bin
Start AlarmClock with PhAlarm -x 180 -y 20 to have it in the middle of your screen
Download Calculator and "Save as" phcalc in /nto/photon/bin
Download ImageViewer and "Save as" pv in /nto/photon/bin
Download SoundRecorder and "Save as" phrecord in /nto/photon/bin
Soundrecorder needs MediaPlayer, see below for download
Download Snapshot and "Save as" snapshot in /nto/photon/bin
All these files above need a chmod +x /nto/photon/bin/"file-name" in Terminal to make them executable again.
Enable MP3 in Audrey with this excellent original hack from suicidal:
Download libextproc.so.1 and "Save as" libextproc.so.1 in /nto/photon/lib
Download libmedia.so.1 and "Save as" libmedia.so.1 in /nto/photon/lib
Download mpegaudio.so and "Save as" mpegaudio.so in /nto/photon/dll (Do not compress this file).
Download mpegaudio and "Save as" mpegaudio in /nto/photon/bin
This file does need: chmod +x /nto/photon/bin/mpegaudio (in Terminal)
Download the MP3 player of your choice or both and don't forget to chmod +x:
Download MediaPlayer and "Save as" phplay in /nto/photon/bin (will act also as plugin in voyager)
Download MP3 Player and "Save as" phMp3 in /nto/photon/bin
While you're busy why not download Realplayer too (but only after you downloaded the MP3 libs/dll), especially if you want to setup Audrey for MP3 playing over HTTP:
Download Realplayer and "Save as" kojak-realplayer in /kojak
Don't forget to chmod +x /kojak/kojak-realplayer
To use the new plugins in voyager, edit the first two lines in Edit/Preferences/Applications
and delete "-P voyager.server", leave the remainder of the line there: kojak-realplayer "%s" and tap Apply and Done when ready.
While in Edit/Preferences don't forget to set the cache on /tmp
If you downloaded phplay you can edit the lines for the other audio plugins too, including MP3.
The line shoud read: phplay -u "%s" and tap OK, Apply and Done when ready.
If you're happy with the changes remove: rm /kojak/kojak-phplay and you're all set.
For serious MP3 playing I recommend using phjuke from a share with your MP3 files
and it will work as good as in original Audrey.
After downloading these apps you can use a new shelf too:
Download Expandable Shelf config with all these apps
and "Save as" shelf.cfg in /nto/photon/.ph/shelf
Reboot and remove the entries you don't want to use with Shelf Cfg and Reboot again.
After downloading use terminal to change dir (cd) to their respective /.cmp/..
directory and use cmp to compress the files you just downloaded, except mpegaudio.so for MP3 and shelf.cfg.
I want to thank Sean_F for his discovery CPU Monitor was causing network problems
in shelf. Thanks to him these problems are finally resolved.
I want to thank ghansah for his discovery to use the nice utilty to set the priority
of phjuke and play MP3's from a share without hick-ups, clicks and interrruptions.
New modules for download will be made available on a regular basis. Contributions from
