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.
