ROM Choices for SL-5600?

[Anonymous]

Zynergy sounds great, although I didn\'t see any screenshots ecept for the really dark one

Can you install that via an SD card or does it have to be a CF card.

So once I have OZ on my SL-5600, what issues would I have resolved with syncing?  I know that syncing sucks with the Sharp ROMS (and derivatives) and Linux.  Would this problem be totally gone with OZ?

Also, what options are there in syncing Zynergy?  Is it still WIndows only?  I REALLY want to get my stuff out of Evolution ..........

Hi,
 Which version of tkc rom did you run on sl-5600? (they are noted for sl5500)... Any issues?

 Do they come with opie, kismet? What would you say were the best features of tkc rom over sharp and oz?

Thanks

I have a couple questions about the Zynergy rom for my 5600.

Does it use the Sharp PIM apps?  If so, how can they be replaced?

Will I be limited in the apps I am able to run?  More specifically, will there be a number of apps which will run on the Sharp rom but now the Zynergy rom?

I\'m running Zynergy on a 5600 now, and love it.

Yes, it uses the Sharp PIM apps.  I don\'t think you can replace them without rebuilding the ROM, but you can install somthing else.  I\'ve added KO/PI to mine for a datebook.  It\'s great, and I even have it syncing with my laptop via wireless/SSH.  I\'m using Korganizer on the desktop, but evolution should also work.  I haven\'t tried anything else for the address book; I don\'t need to sync it, just keep a backup every so often.  

I haven\'t run into many apps that won\'t run.  If they don\'t it\'s usually because they depend on some odd or old library, not anything to do with sharp/zynergy incompatibilities.

brycenut, thank you for your confirmation!

I would like to find a little info on building my own rom.  Does this entail building a new kernel, or is it a bit simpler than that.  BTW, what exactly is a rom anyway?

Question: Is the CACKO Qtopia ROM only suited to the SL-C760?  Would it function on the SL-5600?

I\'m new, and the obviousness of the answer to the above question will likely strike the experienced users here about the face and neck with the noisome fwhack of a wet herring.  Be patient with me, and thanks in advance for the help.
