Title: Recommended Software For Fresh Install
Post by: brownb2 on March 01, 2006, 12:00:52 pm
I'm got a standard SL 5500 that I've not used in a while. I'm looking to do a minimalist install on the stock Sharp 3.13 ROM.

Primarily I need

A good minimalist theme (unlike Sharp's eyeball burning attempts)
A swap file manager
A media player (I've already purchased TKCVideo a while ago, and I use the Sharp player plugin for oggs)
VNC

Are there any other recommendation, e.g. a good file manager?

My aim is to have as much free internal memory as possible, while being completely functional as a mobile media player, an encyclopaedia, occasionally run Java programs.

Thanks,

Benjamin

kino2 and tree explorer are good

If you've got a 5500 and want sharp rom, I believe tkcrom has a flat theme that I think is very clean looking (compared to the other themes).  I'm not sure if the cacko rom has it.

Kino2 looks promising - is Tree explorer available for SL5500?

The TreeExplorer text appears as boxes so I can't figure out what the menu items are. I guess this is to do with a missing font -does anybody know?

Hit the view menu, select language, select english.
"View" menu will be the 3rd one from the left.
