Description:

|
|
|
N.B This is experimental software and currently requires root access: please see the warnings in the README
|
|
|
|
|
of the source code. It may not work as advertised; it may lose or alter messages and files that it carries;
|
|
|
|
|
it may consume a lot of space, speed and battery; and it may crash unexpectedly.
|
|
|
|
|
To avail of the maps feature a separate app has to be installed which isn't in the f-droid.org repo yet.

Mobile communications are useful, but depend on infrastructure that can be damaged, overwhelmed,
|
2012-12-26 12:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
or even absent. This app assumes zero infrastructure. The phones talk to each other using WiFi;
|
|
|
|
|
relaying calls and messages and figuring out how to resolve numbers. In other words, it lets your phone
|
|
|
|
|
communicate with other Android phones running Serval Mesh within WiFi range.

* Can be carried and activated in seconds by those who need it when it is needed
|
|
|
|
|
* Carrier independent
|
|
|
|
|
* Can be distributed during an emergency from only one phone
|
|
|
|
|
* Distributed nature makes network resilient

Ideal for remote, rural and impoverished communities; disaster/emergency situations, and the
|
|
|
|
|
services that support them: the software is making the best of one of the most ubiquitous
|
|
|
|
|
of devices - the mobile phone. Turn your phone into a true communications device; anytime, anywhere.

|
Requires Root: Ideally. Basic Android still doesn't allow WiFi in AdHoc mode, so the app will enable it
|
|
|
|
|
if you allow it root. It can function without root permission, but will be limited to using an
|
|
|
|
|
existing WiFi home network or hot spot, and may not work altogether.
