SHR (formerlyStable Hybrid Release) was^[1] a community-drivenLinux distribution for smartphones which was based onOpenEmbedded,Xorg, and thefreesmartphone.org (FSO) framework. Several different graphical toolkits were made available, such asGTK+ andQt.^[2][3]

The unstable and testing releases were released forOpenmoko'sNeo 1973 andFreeRunner smartphones.

Later on, SHR Core supported theFreeRunner and theGTA04.

SHR Core was also being ported to several devices like theHTC Dream, theNexus S, thePalm Pre andNokia N900 devices.^[4] with various degrees of completion.^[5]

SHR had several rudimentary^[6] applications specially made for it, like an address book software,^[7] a dialer,^[8] an SMS application^[9] and so on. It was also possible to install these applications on Debian.^[10]

Many graphical Linux applications were also available likeMidori andPidgin, and it was also possible to use the terminal with theash shell through a terminal application.

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

The use ofXorg enabled to use manyLinux applications, with various degrees of usability due to hardware constraints of the supported devices. Most/All of the supported devices had small displays with highPixel 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.^[12] Several SHR developers were also contributing to the FSO framework in order to port SHR to newer devices.
