SHR (operating system)

SHR (formerly Stable Hybrid Release) was[1] a community-driven Linux distribution for smartphones which was based on OpenEmbedded, Xorg, and the freesmartphone.org (FSO) framework.

Front-ends for MPlayer, and other software like FoxtrotGPS that were developed for the OpenMoko and/or the distributions that ran on it were also available on SHR.

The use of Xorg enabled to use many Linux applications, with various degrees of usability due to hardware constraints of the supported devices.

Most/All of the supported devices had small displays with high Pixel density, and most of them had only a touchscreen based input and very few buttons.

[11] SHR used the FSO framework middleware to handle the smartphones power management and various peripherals.
