Alternative ROMs

When you receive your Zaurus, the default ROM is the Sharp ROM. This has the advantages of

  • Small, fast to run PIM applications
  • Lots of software available
  • Works out of the box!

This is a new page so please see the discussion.

Cacko

Cacko is based on the Sharp ROM and therefore is also quick at running PIM applications. It also features:

  • 100% English
  • Updated versions of the default Apps
  • More device drivers
  • Compressed filesystem, freeing up more space on the internal flash for your own needs

OpenZaurus

OpenZaurus was an attempt to make a fully open source version of the Sharp ROM.

OpenZaurus, often referred to as OZ is now superceded by Angstrom.
