Linux Mobile (Cellular) Phone Survey: Motorola
Linux compatibility, synchronization and configuration guides for mobile (cellular) phones made by Motorola
(tm) .
The general resource section at the bottom, contains links
to helpful Linux utilities (mostly available under GPL), community efforts, HOWTOs and FAQs.

Applications, Drivers, Communities
open-ezx.org
The
open-ezx.org
project tries to gather information about the Linux-based Motorola EZX phone platform (mainly the A780, E680 and E680i phones).
It further tries to provide a 100% free software stack for those phones, especially a way to avoid any proprietary filesystem and/or device drivers. It also aims to provide a current (2.6.x) kernel with all required hardware support for the EZX phones.
MkEzx
MkEzx
is a set of scripts and patches allowing you to build applications and
"add-on distributions" for embedded Linux devices. MkEzx is primarily geared
towards Motorola EZX handsets such as the A780, E680 and A1200, but a
configuration file is also provided for mipsel / uClibc.
Motorola Fans
Motorola Fans
is a community project to share resources about Motorola's mobile phones.
A760
A760
includes the GPL'd sources of Motorolas A760 Linux smartphone.
KMobileTools
KMobileTools
is a nice KDE-based application that allows you to
control mobile phones with your PC. It handles full SMS control, dialing
calls, reading from phonebook, last dials, received and unanswered calls,
and phone status monitoring (battery and signal for now).
It's based on a Motorola C350 and C650, but it's
also compatible with other mobile phones like Nokia, Ericsson and Siemens.
Startalk - Motorola Star TAC
StarTalk
is a program that lets you read and write the entries in your Motorola StarTac PCS (CDMA)
phonebook.
Moto4Lin
Moto4Lin
is a file manager and seem editor for Motorola P2K phones
(like C380/C650). It supports uploading, downloading, and deleting files
on the phone and seem viewing and editing.
Blues55
Blues55
allows you to use a Siemens S55 , Motorola V500 (and maybe other phones) as
remote control for a PC. Once a Bluetooth connection has been established,
the phone can control the mouse or send key-strokes.
Floola
Floola
is an application to efficiently manage your iPod or your
Motorola mobile phone (any model that supports iTunes) under Linux, Mac OS
X, and Windows. Video and music files can be easily added and removed.
Playlists can be managed with simple drag-and-drop. Lyrics and artwork are
supported. Tracks can be submitted to last.fm.
USBMode for A780
USBMode
can be used to change the mode of the USB port on a Motorola A780 cell phone. More so than a useful application, USBMode is meant to be a proof-of-concept that it is possible to create native GUI applications for this device without replacing the operating environment.
Unofficial EZX Software Development Kit
This is an
unofficial SDK for Motorola EZX phones.
This kit was created with the A780 in mind, but resulting applications reportedly work with E680i as well. It includes all required components from Trolltech Qt/Embedded 2.3.6 with appropriate patches applied, and a helloworld example program.
HOWTO
Using a
Motorola Timeport GSM cellular phone with Linux and Infrared
.
MOTODEV Studio
MOTODEV Studio
is an environment for developing for Java ME, for UIQ/Symbian, or for MOTOMAGX via WebUI or Native Linux.
It delivers all the APIs, tools and documentation you need in one place. Based on the Eclipse(tm) open framework, MOTODEV Studio is designed to support the entire application life cycle, from requirements definition to testing and deployment across Motorola platforms.
Motorola's Linux Phones Frustrate Developers
SlashDot:
"Three years after Motorola first announced it was
migrating its smart phones to Linux -- and a dozen models later --
there are still virtually no third-party applications for them, much less
open source ones. Symbian and Microsoft both give away free SDKs to all
willing developers, but Motorola seems to be putting up hurdles instead."
Developer Platform
Motorola offers a
community-based development platform.
It is primarily aimed at
developers who are willing to contribute to Motorola's GNU/Linux-based
mobile phones, either directly on firmware, or creating programs (native
or Java) who are aimed to work on those phones. It currently features
phone kernels, SD-TransFlash card reader drivers, Java MIDP3.0 draft.
