Guys, just wanted to let you know that I finaly was able to actualy start working on Cacko ROM for my new C1000 Zaurus! First thing, of cource, is to build a working kernel with all the nessesary patches and drivers included. I started off a testu special kernel set of patches, tweaked some of them a bit (a couple of them broke compilation process) and was able to boot into my own custom kernel
That's good because now I can get all missing patches from Cacko ROM 1.22 kernel and join Andy (aka aimasmith) with the ROM tweaking
Stay tuned!
-
Excellent!,
I notice that tetsu has unified the 1000/3000 Kernel now (v18a) so I guess we have a really consistent starting point.

sweet!
keep us posted!

Pretty much finished with the kernel stuff. There are problems with the updated wireless hostap drivers (or to be presice with Sharp network applications, drivers themselves work just fine), so I'm sticking with default wlang-ng for now.
Now moving to actual ROM development/porting...
-
Fantastic news!
Does this including the patching necessary for putting wireless cards in scanning more for things like Wellenreiter, or does using the default wlan-ng drivers preclude that?
-
Hi,
Is there already a 1.23 Beta version for C1000 model ?

nice work. i might get a c1000 just to play with. btw, are you going to port the drivers for the pretec presenter as well? i would be willing to buy the card and help test the drivers if there is a chance it will be working sometime in the near future

Cool
But I don't find any zImage.bin, updater.sh and initrd.bin.
Is there an url where to find them ?

I don't think it's been released yet. I'm sure maslovsky will post an update (with URLs) when he has something working

If there is an installable dev version I wish I could be a beta tester.

OK, today I got Cacko 1.23 ROM boot into my C1000 for the first time. As soon as I clear some of the issues I'll make it available for closed beta testing...
-
Is this release also valid for the C3000? I'm still without WLAN as the Ambicom WL1100C v2.2 doesn't function, and it would be nice to have WPA security in addition to WEP if possible?
If not, are there any updates in the C1000 release that could be released as a patch for the C3000 release?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear, the Cacko beta1 ROm is what I'm talking about, I've got it installed on the C3k, but as I mentioned the Ambicom WL1100 rev 2.2 doesn't work and it lacks WPA. Just wondering when we can expect an update?

No, you made yourself clear, but what you didn't do is ask your question in the correct thread. This thread is specific to the 1000 cacko rom. Try your question in the 3000 thread.

Both ROM versions are related to a arge extent. As soon as I have a testing version of the C1000 ROM, Andy will recieve a build root, so that he can update C3000 Rom as well. I'm planning to keep both versions in synch as much as possible.

I have some great news - I was able to make hostap drivers working with the C1000 ROM! This means that WPA will be working and old socket WiFi card is working too. Also, the new Socket card might be working too - I need to build and test the driver.
Also, the problem with non-specific ESSID is fixed too!

YEAH, Great!
Don't have any nail left to bite while waiting...

Do you have a working updater script that can resize the root partition in NAND flash chip?

Is there a chance to get the developer version for testing and/or bugreporting?

Does your version of the 7.55 browser do proper rendering in "small screen" mode? All the 7.55 versions I've seen so far only use a 240pixel wide column on the left side of the screen when switched to small screen mode, due to the fact that IBM's download is intended for the 5x00 series Zaurii. 7.25 originally came from the SL-6000, so it works properly on the higher screen resoution of the C-series.

I have some good news. I was able to borrow a C3100 device for a few days. This was enough to add support for it to the upcoming Cacko 1.23 ROM. I currently have both devices sitting near me running new ROM.

Excellent! You just made my day, Anton!
Think it'll work on a 3000, or will it still require tweaking?

There a few issues that I need to clear before I can release the ROM. It's been reported that Billionton bluetooth card is not working on C3100. Also I need to find out if serial_cs driver without Sharp changes works properly.

I'd just love to scream out
FORGET BLUETOOTH I DON'T CARE ABOUT BLUETOOTH OR SOME SERIAL DRIVER
JUST RELEASE THE BLINKIN' ROM ALREADY AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!
But that wouldn't be very tactful now would it ?
Sigh...
As eager as I am to check out what many people feel is one of the best breeds of Zaurus rom, I gotta say...
Take your time my man. It's your project, and I know you want to do a good job on it (not to mention that you probably have a complete and time-demanding life totally outside your Zaurus endeavors), so do it however you want. And Thank you for sharing it and your hard work with the rest of us!
Besides, the reason everyone likes your previous efforts so much is probably because you put so much time and work into them. No reason to change that!
So thanks again!
(Thanks also for the update!)

I have a C3100 and am a software developer at my day job. If it would help you, I'd be very interested in beta testing your C1000/C3100 ROM. Can you point me to an image?
-
Maslovsky,
You'll find that the serial_cs driver will cause lockups without the changes Sharp implemented. There's some tweaky interrupt problems, which is why people have been seeing lockups when they try to use CF modems and the like. I'm currently working on getting sound support more stable with 2.6.12 on C3100, and ran into the same problems.
Ah, the joys of driver development.
I'm glad you're giving some attention to the blueZ stack and drivers. Although, I can't say I'm very surprised that particular card didn't work. They have a lot of revs of the card, and not every one of the cards has the correct manID/prodID, so it's not so much that the driver doesn't work, as that the probe fails when it hits a wierd manufacturer ID.
I've managed to slide a Hitachi 6Gb CF microdrive into my C3100, and things seem pretty stable so far. Power drain is about the same as the 4Gb drive. I'm looking forward to when SanDisk releases final production samples of the 6Gb silicon compact flash card. FAR less power consumption, and of course being solid state .. it's audibly -and- electrically silent.
Mind giving an overview of the upgrades, changes, and cool things you've added into the latest greatest upcoming cacko C3100/C3000/C1000 rom?

it also would be an idea to release the rom as is... so you have more time without stress releasing a patch for the bluetooth issue. i think that not a lot of people will need bluetooth. and the few who need bluetooth could stay on their sharp rom or whatever until bluetooth works on cacko.

as far as we see it now, it's not a "Bluetooth only" and a Cacko issue.
It looks like the communication with serial CF cards (BT, GPS, Modem)
is buggy with the SL-C3100. For more info check this topic:
[a href=\"https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14663]https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=14663[/url]
And this problem actually exists with the original SHARP Rom. We were
able to reproduce the Bluetooth problem with the latest Cacko beta, so
we hope that Maslovsky will find out what the problem is.

Umm, and what exactly causes these "lockups"? Any technical details?
I'm using "de-sharped" serial driver with OX950-based serial CF card for a few months now and haven't experienced any "lockups"

Yes, albert, I've got your tarball and I'm planing to try your driver. The problem is that I've also have a few patches (to support unususal baud rates, such as 1000000, needed for some bluetooth cards) applied to the serial.c, so I need to get them merged into your code.

Maslovsky,

I'm currently working on getting sound support more stable with 2.6.12 on C3100, and ran into the same problems.
Well, I suspected that Sharp did their ugly changes in the driver on purpose I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish, but I think using default driver might cause problems with some devices and in some situations.
I'm glad you're giving some attention to the blueZ stack and drivers. Although, I can't say I'm very surprised that particular card didn't work. They have a lot of revs of the card, and not every one of the cards has the correct manID/prodID, so it's not so much that the driver doesn't work, as that the probe fails when it hits a wierd manufacturer ID.
That's why I'm getting that card soon (thanks to trisoft) to test. I'm hoping that the problem will be obvious.
I've managed to slide a Hitachi 6Gb CF microdrive into my C3100, and things seem pretty stable so far. Power drain is about the same as the 4Gb drive. I'm looking forward to when SanDisk releases final production samples of the 6Gb silicon compact flash card.

Sharp needs to make seconds CF clot removable, just like the first one. That will make Zaurus so flexible.
Mind giving an overview of the upgrades, changes, and cool things you've added into the latest greatest upcoming cacko C3100/C3000/C1000 rom?
There are not so many changes, it's basicaly a port of 1.22 to the new devices, but I will post current readme later (I just don' have it handy).
-
BTW, Andy (aka iamasmith) has already contacted me recently regarding 1.23 support to C3000. This means that C3000 should be supported sooon after C1000 and C3100 ROM version is released
-
Please release!!!!!!!!
-
please release it...... i need to try it on my C1000..
-
- Spiffy.
- All the flakiness I'm having with my Socket WiFi & Ambicom BT is getting a tad old. Sounds like Cacko may remedy some of that, and run in English at least a little "more" natively, so the net configuration gui won't toss the while unit into "kanji mode" like the Sharp ROM does, even after "conversion". Frustrating, that, on top of the other weirdness.
- I'll be giving this one a whirl as soon as it's out. Last try with pdaXrom just wasn't as fluffy as I'd have preferred, nor with tetsu's kernel by its lonesome. But I'll try it. That's what backups are for, right? (drool)
- Good to hear things are coming along pretty evenly. Rock on...

I believe this is the reason of the current sentiments:

The release is only a few days away, stay tuned...
It also seems reasonable to make a current RC \ BETA release leaving out serial\bluetooth capabilities to those interested so we can test the rest of the OS, not having to wait for the buggy code subset?

Anton's done good in the past so I think it is good to let him finish it to where he wants to release it. I know these machines are in desparate need for a good stable english rom, but please respect the man's work.

- Please take all the time you need, maslovsky. I personally am doing okay with what I have, and I really don't like going to all the trouble to ensure data recoverability, flash, check out, re-install, blah, blah, blah, just to find out the ROM's unstable.
- I also do development for a living. I know what a bugger it can be. You do what you have to do and this freeloader will be happy as a clam to sit back until you're good and ready.
- I'm just going to try this when you are good and ready, that's all. (wide grin) Sling on...

perhaps the only thing holding me back from upgrading from 860 to 3100 is cacko release...
so in a strange way I don't want Anton to finish, as it's saving me money!!!
-
I'm in the exact same boat....my 760 won't show it's handicap (garbled sound) until it starts getting cold so I don't mind waiting for a stable cacko rom.

What will you do with your 760 when you get a 3100 (assuming that there's no unexpected new model)? I was going to try out OZ on it, as once I've got a spare Z, there's scope to experiment. I still have my Palm T3, and it's predecessor a Sony Clie, each one should have rendered the previous one surplus, and ebay-able, but somehow I just can't part with my old gadgets :-(
-
Though off topic,
I will probably use the 760 as my server and free up the 6000 for other stuff. I may decide to run pdaxrom for the server install. If the 6000 is freed up I will buy a piel frama case and I may sell the expansion sled to mickeyl.
The 6000 does not cut it for me as a pda. The clamshell keyboard has spoiled me so I will either wait for 3100 cacko rom or wait for the next Z.

Anton,
I have a SL-C3100 handy, and so far it's been the guinea pig for a couple OZ pre-3.5.4 attempts, a bit of 2.6 kernel testing, and the like. If you have any Borzoi related issues to explore .. don't hesitate to knock on my "door" as it were.

I can report that Billionton bluetooth card is working fine on C3100, one more step towards a release...
-
Hi All,
Who has managed to upload a "Wallpaper" onto the C3100 as a background image using the "Appearance" utility in Settings?
I tried this over the weekend on a C3100 device driven by the Cacko 1.23b ROM, and the machine just hung. Once you thick the "Wallpaper" checkbox, choose an image file using the browser and select "OK" nothing happens. The "Appearance" Design pane will only close if no Wallpaper is selected.
Further, I wasn't able to play MP3 files stored in /hdd3/Documents/Music_Files using the "Music Player". It simply couldn't find the files although they were definitely in the file system. I could only get the Music Player to work with files stored on an SD and CF cards.
Any clues?
Thanks in anticipation,
Ashu

I have bought one on ebay. It should arrive in the next couple of days... I would me more than happy to test... ( although I will also need a bluetooth enabled phone, which I do not have yet...)
Since I am quite a newbie with the C3100, I would need exact instructions how to test ( what logs to look for etc.)
Another idea: I may get a bluetooth mouse and / or keyboard and / or bluetooth printer adapter soon. I could also use that to test. Need to check ebay for prices... Maslowsky, should any/all of these work as well? If yes, I order them...

1.23 doesn't not run on older models yet. It will be ported a little bit after the release.
-
It's refreshing to see such a professional approach to the release, Anton. I think your approach is absolutely right as it'll mean less hassle for everyone (including you) and less posts that can be answered with "have you applied patch xyz.3.1.2 to it? You need that for the version released between noon and 2pm on Tuesday..."
I'm new to the Z world, and not terribly great with linux stuff yet, but if there's anything I can do then please let me know. I'm thinking of documentation, etc...
Finally, is there any "getting started at ROM building" guide that you could use? It seems that there's only a handful of people actively involved in ROM development so it would be good to spread the knowledge: it might make things easier, as long as it doesn't fragment the community - I think with Cacko and pdaxrom, we have enough ROM options as it stands
-
uhm... 'older models?' should we, zaurus veterans, the ones who trusted on zauries first, be taken in so bad consideration ... (snif)

How to install Cacko v1.23 beta1 on SL-C1000 from
Cacko v1.23 Beta1 (http://bryandeluca.com/cacko/c3000/)
When i tryed to install i get message: "Error, there is no hard disc"
Any help welcome
-
Perhaps it's because there's no hard disk in the C1000
More seriously, don't try to use ROMs from other machines on your machine. In this day and age, you probably won't "brick your zaurus" (ie turn it into an expensive, shiny brick) but it won't work properly.
Wait for the C1000 release/beta of Cacko... I'm sure it'll be worth it.
If I'm wrong, I'm sure someone will shout me down, but I don't think the C1000 beta is out yet.

Patience young Padawans...
Every day that goes by and Cacko is not released the overwhelming likelyhood is that Maslovsky is hard at work making it better So when it does come out it will be all it's cracked (cacked ?) up to be, and will have as many bugs as possible already worked out. I don't think the Mas-man is eager for his Cacko project to have the credibility of a certain microsoft product line that is famous for being delayed and still ending up released full of bugs...
All things come to those who wait... (at least that's what I keep telling myself )
-
Everything is ready, the ROM will be released on Monday.
-
uh oh, now this means I have very little excuse for not getting a 3100....
My 760 is becoming unreliable (as predicted) again and the lack of a cacko rom was the main reason to hold out from getting the 3100.

very wise words. If it arrives late but perfect, people will forget and forgive the lateness quite quickly. If it arrives early or ontime or late but with bugs, people will remember the bugs for a long time.
Rest in the knowledge that Mas is pretty much a perfectionist, and it's his diligence that makes owning a Zaurus special.

Almost certainly, but there will probably be less than there would be if the project was rushed. I mean nothings PERFECT (your meaning is taken though). But we can likely expect the same attention to detail in the hotfixes as has been put into the rom itself.
Yet again I can us MS as an example. It drove our IT department absolutely NUTS for a few months when that old NT 4.0 vulnerability Hotfix was causing random BSODs. I'd rather not know that that sort of thing is going on in my pants pocket as well (on a stowed Zaurus I mean... )

Oh yes, A Cacko Lite like the 1.22 Lite would be highly appreciated.
Though on a C1000 / C31000 having enough space obviates the desperate need for a Lite version, still there's no harm having as small a footprint intially and then building up apps as necessary.
Thanks for the great work...

It's the source for the kernel. If you want to recompile the kernel, you need it. If you don't want to do that, you don't need it.

I believe the Japanese dictionary is in the Cacko feed. So, after you've installed the ROM, run the package manager, install from network, and select the Cacko feed for your package repository. Search that for the dictionary.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong...

Thanks for the tip Bill -- but perhaps I wasn't clear.
I did resize the root partition, the Zaurus started to reboot, but stopped at the white screen with the SHARP logo in red. It stayed there. So I tried the whole process again, taking out the battery first and resizing the root parition. Reboot and... same problem.
The Cacko instructions don't mention anything about formatting the user flash... How is that done? Is it really necessary?
Thanks...

You need to (1) Resize the root partitition; (2) Reboot; (3) Format user flash; (4) Reboot; (5) Flash the ROM; and then finally (6) Reboot.

If I remember correctly, the installation routine asks if you want to format the user flash, but there is a menu option for it, I believe.
The first time I flashed the ROM, I chose 121 as the root partition size. My Z hung when booting, so I went back in and set it at the recommended size of 32. Then it worked. So you might want to reflash the ROM with the size of the root partitition as 32MB.

You change the root partition -> you have done that
Then you have to restart the Zaurus ( battery out, wait 5 secs, battery in, hold OK, power on, externel power plugged in)
Then you should be able to continue the install process as per the instructions ( this is the time to install the cacko rom - no need to change the root partition size again...)
If you just reboot after a root partition size change, you Z may totally lock up...
-
OK, sorry for being so slow and THANKS for your help. It worked in the end, the problem was basically that after resizing the root partition the Cacko utility rebooted the Zaurus, but the boot wouldn't complete, so I had to force it to turn off by removing the battery (which I don't like doing).
One other thing though... it seemed like there were quite a few error messages as Cacko was booting. E.g. "Cramfs: wrong magic" and "FAT: bogus logical sector size 381."
Is this normal?
-
I got the same error - "FAT: bogus logical sector size 381." and Cramfs: wrong magic"
each time I re-flashed and the Zaurus rebooted after the NAND Flash Image step.
This happens on both the full and Lite versions.
Went back to the Full versions (needed the loaded USB modules).
Otherwise everything works fine.
-
yep---stuck with the full version.

Sorry for semi-cross posting, I was sure where this would go best, but I just installed the new cacko rom, and for some reason I can't play mp3s. xmms, mplayer, and musicplayer will not play them. I have tested the files in a sd card on my linux desktop, and everything plays fine... any ideas?
-
did you test those same files on the sharprom before switching over? if not, then how do you know they actually play?

I never used them on sharp's rom, I did use them on pdaxrom, and they play on my desktop w/an sd reader.
-
yup. those files play on my sharprom just fine. probably a bug.
one thing you can do is check the feed to see if there is a mp3 codec available. maybee it was removed for space purpouses.

I can barely restrain myself from reflashing my 3100 and "doing the cacko" (sounds sweeeet) but the thought of losing my Japanese dictionary is a little painful.. For someone who knows close to zero (of course not me...) how can they keep it?

What our dear Smuffle is referring to here is the 'Multimedia Dictionary' located on C3k/C3k1 HD, which is much more feature-rich than the regular c860 dic (600MB vs 40 MB, gotta be something =). While it seems to be the same format as most of other dictionaries (EPW), it is encrypted and cannot be used with third-party applications such as zten(v), at least not directly. Only with SharpROM built-in zdict.
Smuffle, you have two basic options, one is to go to ztenv site and download the patch which enables it to use the inbuilt dictionaries (the site states that it's intended for c3k, but I don't see why it wouldn't work on c3k1); this works because ztenv and zdict are both forks of zten; other options is to copy the files/make an IPK of the default C3k1 SharpROM dictionary. Copying the app alone won't be enough, you'll have to copy the libraries too, at the matching places. The files, along with zdict, would be libeb.so.3.3.4, libsl.so.1.10, libylib.so.1.1.4 and libzsecurefile.so.1.0.0 (at least for C3k).
Let me know how it goes and if you need any additional help (I haven't tried those methods tho, since I'm on a C1k now, but will as soon as I manage to get an additional card - lack of space)
-
gosh, you are making me so jealous. I want to try it out too but currently travelling around and cannot flash my Z atm.
-
Woot woot!
This is a happy day, my Z setup is slowly converging to a usable state. I managed to get kismet and Wellenreiter working, along lots of other things, also managed to connect to campus wifi - wpa, eap-peap, mschapv2, with buikt-in wpa_supplicant.
Now just to smooth up Jp display issues, and then it will be just some minor tweaking - getting c3k(1) japanese dictionaries, apache+html wikipedia and scummvm to work - only thing that is stopping me from doing that now is lack of space - my 1GB SD is choke full now. I better pay Akihabara another visit on Friday.
Btw, what is the hiragana/katakana key (the left japanese key) mapped to?
Also, what is the best way to run wpa_supplicant when connecting to a specific wifi network?
-

If you follow instructions in Cacko FAQ if will be run automaticaly when you're trying to connect. Just make sure to have everything configured properly.

On C3k the files are located on hdd1, but I guess they are in the ROM on C3k1. I'll try to make it work soon, if I manage to, it should be easy to make an ipk.
Btw, were you considering making a Japanese ROM, ie with Japanese support preinstalled and language set to Jp? I talked with couple of my japanese friends who have a z or two, and none of them ever heard of it, maybe that would attract them.
Of course, you'd have to make the golf lessons work. =)
-
Btw, what is the hiragana/katakana key (the left japanese key) mapped to?
Alt key
When I switch the input mode to japanese input, the right key works correctly,
ie it switches between kanji (ideograms) and kana ('alphabet'), but the hira/kata key
(this one, the left one) which is used for switching between two types of 'alphabet' doesn't work. It's not a big issue but how would one go about solving it?

That's also doable, just follow any of the four recommended methods in Cacko-JP FAQ (the last one won't work tho, any idea why, people?).
Anyways, would it be a problem to check where are those files I listed located in your C3k1?

First many many thanks to maslovsky and his team.
Flashed yesterday and everything looks quite good.
Maybe someone can open a new thread for bugs and how-to about the new cacko ?!
I'm just wondering if someone here was able to use WPA-PSK with the new release already.
Played yesterday night several hours but wasn't successfull.

Japanese support seems to work fine with the new 1.23 - suprisingly easy, but you do lose the lurvly smooth helvetica font.
I have a feeling I've lost use of the great C3100 dictionary.. I've tried everything to make it work, also played with Zten but no joy (I tried what I think is the patch (ztenv-c3000_001_none.ipk) but it appears to be "empty" when I try to install - not C3100 friendly me thinks).
Do I have to reflash to the Sharp ROM soley to get a copy of the original dictionary and libraries? (they're not on the CD from what I can fathom).
3:15am. Pooped.

The dictionary files on the C3x00 are encrypted - you will need certain libraries from the original ROM to use them (if I remember correctly, libzsecure and libeb). The ztenv C3000 ipk simply installs a script that preloads these libraries before starting ztenv. You can confirm which libraries you need by reading that script.

Hey, Gifu! I used to live in Gifu city.. small world.
I've already installed the Zten - can I just copy the libraries you said into the relevant directorys? or do I have to install again? Really confused..
-

If you look at the file that ztenv-C3000 installs (not sure of the exact filename, but it should be in /opt/QtPalmtop/bin/), you'll see that it's simply a script that makes sure to load the special libraries before starting ztenv; it looks something like:
LD_PRELOAD=/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libzsecure.so:/opt/QtPalmtop/lib/libeb.so ztenvYou could actually use that command directly from a command prompt, without the need for the ztenv-c3000 ipkg... the ipkg just makes it easier.
To use the script, you simply need to copy the necessary libraries to their proper location. The libraries are located in /opt/QtPalmtop/lib/. Of course, if you're going to go through all the trouble of getting the library files, you might as well copy zdict over (unless you prefer ztenv).
Hope that helps.

Hello. Sorry, I didn't think much when posting, it only came to me after that that with C3k1 the libs would be in the rom (they are on the hdd1 in C3k). Anyways, if you need the files, I can send them to you. Going to try to get this running on my own too now.

I tried doing this, zdict complained about libsl and libzlib not being there too, I put them, and then it complains 'Unable to get graphics content';'Can't make QGfx for null pixmap' - I needed to copy zten/zdict picture directories under /opt/QtPalmtop/pics and pics144. However, now when I run it, it says 'Display size =480x640' and silently exits. Ztenv with preloaded libs (this script) doesn't complain but I cannot check if it works because I have no space on my cards for the dict files. Maybe that's why zdict exits, the dict files are not there.
BTW, this is being done on a C1k

I get the feeling I'll be spending many hours trying to make this work.. so I've given up and gone back to the Sharp ROM. The Cacko ROM looks great (well done M) but I know what I'm like - I'll fiddle for DAYS until it's just right. Time better used on other things. I know my weaknesses all too well ;o)
Good luck to all who try, look forward to the success stories.

Small update, it turns out that zdict works too, I had to append an '&' on the end. Will see about finding its icon now to make a shortcut.
*edit* Ya, made a shortcut for it with the original icon, definitely works (per se). Still need to check if it works with dictionary files.
*edit #2* It works. C3k(1) built-in dicts work both with Zdict and Ztenv.
Will be posting the howto/IPK when I get some time, depends on the interest; I'm currently studying for my kanji exam and I'm rather busy.

I'll second that. This is something that I'll want to add to the Jp Faq when I update it...
-
I'm french, I cannot second the idea as kahm seconded that... so I will third it ?
humm anyway, a FAQ to install zdict with the original dic files from the 3100 would be good, I have currently the 3100 with cacko and I would like zdict with the same files as before.
I would also like to install the memory trainer from the sharp rom, I used it a little fun to have. the Toeic english test, the golf and the other contents got erased of course, the train guide is not usefull at all, and the map are very low quality, so outside of the Zdict and the memory trainer I don't think the other original sharp tools deserve to be "rescued". Anyway, the main point, Zdict how to !
-
Not sure what happened, but after going through the whole flash process, after the final reboot, I'm getting an error "sh: can't access tty: job control turned off" and then an '#' prompt.
I've been through the flash process a few time - all with the same results. Any thoughts on what went wrong? This is on a c1k.
-
Hy gents.
Apologies for keeping you waiting.
I tried to create an IPK, I have the dir structure and control file ready on my Z; however, I cannot find a working mkipkg script, could anyone please link to one?
Everything is correct with the preipk environment, only the tar.gzing of it fails for some reason - maybe because tar on Cacko is actually BusyBox and maybe has different switches? Halp, maslovsky!
Btw, drake, what's this memory trainer app you're talking about, I don't think you get it with C1k. If it's useful, I'd be interested.
Once again, sorry for not providing you guys with an ipk, tommorow is my kanji test, after that I'll have some more time to look it up.
-
humm... the memory trainer comes with the 3100 for sure, it's a program that has plenty of sections (most in japanese) one of the section for example is like this, it shows you 2 figures (red square with yellow corner and green square with yellow corner) it shows you the figures for 5 seconds and then it shows you like 10 different figures and you must choose the right ones, then as you progress the difficulty goes up, more figures are showed, I achieved to memorize 5 different figures that you must choose among 20 or so, anyway is fun, the other section is like it shows a serie of numbers (ex: 13,56,98) and then it ask you to repeat them, then if you succed it shows you a new number (ex: 13,56,98,22) and then it hides and you must repeat them, and so on until you fail, there is another section with kanjis (you must memorize kanjis and words) anyway, the program works always in kind of the same way, it shows you a serie of something and then you must memorize very quickly (5 to 10 seconds) and repeat it afterwards. There are also stadistics (you can make several users and compete and keep a log of it to compare the scores). You must be advanced japanese user to use it completely, I'm very very lost on some of the sections (there are several sections of the program I don't even know or understand what I must do on them... )
anyway, in 4 days I'll be back home (in Hiroshima now) and I will look the 3100 cd to post somewhere the ipk of the memory trainer.

Try to increase the root partition size to 34 or even 34 Mb and flash again.

Thanks Anton! Turned out that I needed to reformat the CF disk and re-extract the files to it. After that, everything worked great.
And thanks for putting this together! This is soooooo much better than the stock ROM! I was able to get my network connection to work for the first time last night since buying this! Simply glorious.

*edit #2* It works. C3k(1) built-in dicts work both with Zdict and Ztenv.
Will be posting the howto/IPK when I get some time, depends on the interest; I'm currently studying for my kanji exam and I'm rather busy.

How are you gentlemen!
I made a Zdict IPK, you can find it on [a href=\"http://life.is.just.a.dre.am/zaurus/]http://life.is.just.a.dre.am/zaurus/[/url].
You're also going to need Kakasi, you can get it at the same link or on
http://www.gohome.org/zten/kakasi_2.3.4-2_arm.ipk (http://www.gohome.org/zten/kakasi_2.3.4-2_arm.ipk)
I think you might have to run 'sudo ipkg install zdict_obradovic_0.1_arm.ipk' manually.
Please check if it works and let me know.

I gave it a go but no luck for me. It just tried to switch to portrait mode, black screen "please wait" and then back to the start. I have the Zdict files on my SD card, maybe this has something to do with it...

Could you run it from console and write the output here please?
Also, have you installed kakasi?
BTW, I have the files on a SD card too so that shouldn't be a problem.

I have to keep flashing back to the Sharp ROM (because of the dictionary) so I can't get the console output right now but from what I remember, it looked very normal and seemd to be happy. I installed the Japanese fonts (from the Cacko website) AFTER I installed it because I forgot - could be relevant.
I'm confused as to why it would try to go to portrait mode.. does your's work in landscape mode?

Blah. Well if the best what you can give me is 'it looked very normal', then the best I can give you is 'it should work'. I ran it after going through the procedure described in cacko-jp faq and installing Kakasi, that's about it. It works on drake's Z too (save for loading the dicts off HD, works only for flash cards (SD and CF) for now). I'm currently checking that. We're all in this together, nobody will be able to help you if you don't try on your own. =P

smuffle, I installed zdict from Tomoe and also Kakasi and another library eb_4.2v02 zdict works pretty well, as for the dict files you need to relink them for zdict to see them
cd /home/QtPalmtop
ln -s /hdd3/dict1
I putted all the dictionarys into /hdd3/dict1 and erased dict2, zdict works perfect. Thanks Tomoe

*humbled*. Fair point. I just haven't had the time to sit and reflash of late.
As soon as I have a chance I'll sit down and do it properly - from what drakecoldwinter says, you've boldly gone where no man has gone before. Looks like you deserve a big "well done" in advance; now I can enjoy cacko

K, I think I'm done debugging this thing, it works both on C1000 and C3100 now. I will post in a separate thread.

Sat down and did as suggested and I now have Cacko running Zdict probably - luvly. Thanks Tomoe (and of course Sir maslovsky). Next step is how to get that lovely Helvica font while still being able to use Japanese characters...

anyone success in installing japanese-dict from the feed? I try to install, but an error message said" tar: Bad tar header, skipping

I would also like to install the memory trainer from the sharp rom, I used it a little fun to have. the Toeic english test, the golf and the other contents got erased of course, the train guide is not usefull at all, and the map are very low quality, so outside of the Zdict and the memory trainer I don't think the other original sharp tools deserve to be "rescued". Anyway, the main point, Zdict how to !

I am glad I found this thread!
Speaking of memory trainers, the Japanese Nintendo DS has a [a href=\"http://ds.ign.com/objects/740/740437.html]Brain Trainer[/url] that has had me excited for quite awhile. It seems it will be coming to America in 2006. Still I prefer the Japanese version since I am trying to learn the language. On the subject of Zdict and other more quirky(but fun!) Japanese software/games/books/manga, does anyone have any suggestions? I want to be able to use my C1000 to immerse myself in Japanese(Chinese and Korean too!) electronic media and text.

Is there going to be a version for the SL-C3000? Or am I missing something. I tried to use the Rom for the 3100, but it said that the ROM did not match the hardware. I did not see any info about this in the Readme or FAQ...
In searching I found a blog that says it's not suppored but iamasmith(Andy) is working on it? How is it going?
