'''N.B''' Some elements of the source code such as ifconfig are not built
|
|
|
|
|
from source, but likely will be in future. The messaging part
|
|
|
|
|
is working in the latest version.

|
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;
|
2012-12-26 12:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
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,
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
2012-12-26 12:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2012-12-26 12:25:31 +00:00
|
|
|
existing WiFi home network or hot spot, and may not work altogether.
