Plasma Mobile 1.0 "Feature Phone" (WIP)

Plasma Mobile 1.0 provides an end-user ready experience with a minimal, useful feature set. This includes the underlying OS and plumbing layers, a workspace to launch and manage apps, some basic system functions to set up the network, show connection status, etc. Functions that a 1.0 should provide:

  • Answering and initiating phone calls
  • Contacts / Address book
  • Sending and receiving SMS, possibly other IM service as SMS is pretty old fashioned
  • Hardware functions:
    • Volume control
    • Network control (wifi and Mobile), incl. airplane mode
  • Basic settings
    • Language / Locale
    • Clock / Timezone
    • Ringtone / Notification sounds / Do-not-disturb
    • Mobile network functions and settings
      • APN
      • Roaming
      • Tethering
      • Data Limits


See Plasma Mobile 1.0 workboard.
