Its been awhile, but its finally time for a TYOS update. Whats inside? Bug fixes.
Changes to the Camera App
- Fixed error that causes camera to overwrite, delete, and modify incorrect photos, after software is updated. This moves the index.dat file from inside TYOS to /home/pi. Otherwise, whenever you updated TYOS it would think that all your photos were deleted.
- Added missing C library, that caused the camera app to not work at all. Most of you figured out this library was required and found out how to install it, now it is included by default.
Other Fixes
- TYOS now allows calls to be made from countries outside the United States.
- TYOS now allows SMS messages to be sent from countries outside the United States. For some reason TYOS would only accept US based phone numbers. That is now fixed.
How to Update
- Remove old build of TYOS:
sudo rm -rf tyos
- Download new version:
wget https://github.com/spadgenske/TYOS/archive/0.5.6.zip
- unzip:
unzip 0.5.6.zip
- Rename:
mv TYOS-0.5.6 tyos
- Run:
sudo python tyos/src/main.py
Developer Release!
Although I am no longer developing new features @Helmar has been working on his own fork of TYOS. He added a Radio app, that allows the user to listen to FM radio, and a volume settings app that allows the user to change the volume, ring tone, and more all within TYOS. He also made some changes to the time and battery settings to suit his own needs. Its still a little buggy, but if you are looking for some new features please try it out. Note that if you are having trouble I may not be able to help you as I did not write the code.
How To Install
1. Remove standard version of TYOS:
sudo rm -rf /home/pi/tyos
2. Clone new version:
git clone https://github.com/helmarw/tyos
3. Run!
sudo python tyos/src/main.py
