PicoPhone is a lightweight open-source multi tool widget designed to run in Picotron's desktop2 and to use as less CPU as possible. https://github.com/369px/PicoPhone

It aims to completely replace your smartphone and give you back the focus you need while completing your gems. Just load #phone in the Picotron terminal to get started!

Latest version: 0.5.35

NEW: Automatic updates at boot-up!

PicoPhone now checks the BBS for updates!
So you never miss the latest features.
I've made a video on how I auto-update here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88nRTLXdAGs

NEW MiniApp: Control Panel!

Do the boring stuff with a click!
You now have 3 slots to save 3 different carts you're working on to fast load them into ram with a single click! You won't have to type load /desktop/folder/cart.p64.png every single time!
You want to start a new cart? Why reboot? Just click a button!
And other cool features coming soon!

How to install (super easy)

1. Open the Picotron terminal, type in load #phone and hit CTRL+R
2. Tell Taco where you want to install PicoPhone!
3. Reboot Picotron and enjoy :)

Tools and MiniApps

Color ID checker and special character ID checker!

Check the IDs you forgot without leaving Picotron!

Midi Converter and calculator

Convert a MIDI file into a Picotron track ready to use in your project!
Thanks to the magic of Miditron!
And Calkawaii, a funny calculator that thinks before talking! ;)

Group Chat and BBS Market (wip)

Picotron isn't a lonely place anymore!
Thanks to PicoChat you can now talk with other devs while working on your stuff!
Browse BBS tools and install them directly from your PicoPhone!
It's not perfect yet but I couldn't make you wait!

Customization, Auto-Installer and Low CPU usage mode!

Let Taco do the hard work!
You can now automatically install or move PicoPhone when and wherever you want!
Are you testing something inside the tooltray and need to clean it up?
Just go to settings and move PicoPhone to the desktop!
low CPU usage mode!
You can turn off the phone to drastically lower CPU usage, see for yourself ;)
Then tap screen to get back where you left!

Coming soon

• mini Market categories!
• More miniApps! (You'll be able to make your own)
• More customization!

It would be neat to have a calculator in this multitool.

PicoPhone 0.3 is finally out! This is the biggest update yet!
A lot of new features and completely revisioned code.
Thanks to @Eiyeron for making me understand how the Picotron GUI works!

Read the changelog:

0.3.69b Hotfix
Fixed a bug that wouldn't install PicoPhone if you've never created a startup.lua file!
(You don't need to update if you didn't experience any bug)

@profpatonildo mmh ok that's not a bad workaround, now it has a bit more sense. Thanks

Just a heads up for anyone using my Downloader 2.0 cart: https://www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?pid=145411#p

If you download picophone with it and run the installer, it will instead try to install Downloader 2.0 into the tooltray instead and potentially cause some really nasty bugs

👆 fixed!

PicoPhone 0.5 is OUT!

v0.5.35

• Fixed a bug in settings that made PicoPhone disappear if you moved it from the tooltray. So you can finally try out the new update feature!

v0.5.0 - 0.5.34
