 UI components for Plasma Phone
+
+Test on a development machine
+=======================
+
+Dependencies:
+* KDE Frameworks 5 setup (plasma-framework and its dependencies)
+* oFono https://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/ofono/ofono.git
+* voicecall https://github.com/nemomobile/voicecall
+* libqofono https://github.com/nemomobile/libqofono
+* phonesim https://git.kernel.org/cgit/network/ofono/phonesim.git/
+* qml contextkit plugin https://github.com/nemomobile/nemo-qml-plugin-contextkit FIXME: ContextKit is deprecated, battery status should be ported to something else
+
+Phonesim will add a fake phone modem, that can be controlled via a Qt based user interface from
+which it will be possible to test various aspects of the phone UI: making calls, receiving, signal strength,
+send SMS and so on. It will not generate any real call, but only make the UI think a SIM is working and that
+a phone call is in progress.
+
+A tutorial how to start phonesym on a desktop system can be found here:
+http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.ofono/12178
+
+* edit /etc/ofono/modem.conf, uncomment everything so that it looks like
+ [phonesim]
+ Driver=phonesim
+ Address=127.0.0.1
+ Port=12345
+
+* start ofonod as root
+* start phonesim
+  phonesim -p 12345  -gui  /usr/share/phonesim/default.xml
+* from the oFono *source* directory, call /test/enable-modem to bring the modem up, the control UI should come up
+* start plasma with plasmashell -w -p org.kde.satellite.phone to start the phone homescreen in a window
+
+Note that the oFono/phonesim part is necessary only if it's needed to test some part specific to telephony
