Note on installing and running¶

Due to the short notice and ongoing development, the app is still signed with the android sdk debug key.
However, this will run just fine on the phone.

Please note that running a permanent stream via 3G will take a lot of battery! The availability of the stream
- despite the fact that it uses a downsampled stream of 32kbit - will also massively depend on the quality of service of your carrier.

Developers¶

if you do not trust the developers or want to improve the application, you can build the app yourself.

checkout the code from the repository (subversion)

svn co http://svn.plentyfact.org/x26radio
