Title: Some Programs Not Running On 3.13 Rom
Post by: SiberianX37 on August 15, 2005, 01:21:49 pm

Hi everyone.  I just recently got a zaurus and I flashed the 3.13 ROM on it.  I am having certain problems though. some programs when I install them and try to run them simply will not open up.  I have idea what that could be.  I was also wondering if it's at all possible to flash the OpenZaurus ROM without a cf card but with an sd card or throught pc.  Thanks in advance everyone.

I would be helpful if you let us know which specific programs you're having troubles with, and you could also try to launch the programs from the terminal and post the errors you get here.

The 5500 and 5000D can only be flashed (to OZ) using a CF card; the 5600 (and other machines) can also use an SD card.

You don't need a very large CF card - 16MB is large enough to flash OZ (though not large enough to flash the Sharp ROM due to the extra odds & sods which it flashes - the bootloader and flashing software, etc.).

I'd see if you can get hold of a 32MB card.

OZ stuff isn't compatible with the Sharp ROM stuff.  You need to use packages you find on killefiz and elsix.

I think he was talking about flashing over to OZ...
