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
• ofono-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 phonesim on a desktop system can be found here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.ofono/12178

• edit /etc/ofono/phonesim.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
• call test/online-modem to activate the test phonesim modem
• start plasma with plasmashell -w -p org.kde.plasma.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
