Title: APP WISH LIST FOR NEW PDAXROM
Post by: ScottYelich on June 27, 2004, 05:02:03 pm: I'll start:

I'd like to see a native, non-cramfs sdk.... even if it's 150mb. I'd like to see it have
gcc 3.3.x (and perhaps even 2.95).

A relatively decent/recent java + sdk.

nethack + qt support (ie: not just ascii or x nethack)

angband *and* zangband ... these seem to want to compile a lua (tolua?) and then
exec this during compile -- the cross compiler confuses this process -- hence the
desire for a native sdk, etc.

non-busybox implementations of each of the busybox apps.

man pages for all apps.

latest xfce (4.0.5?) + goodies.

xscreensaver + hacks

I'm sure I'll think of more...

and to pdaxrom team : i would like, please, mplayer to work just fine, without having to change playing configuration everytime i try a new file...

PS: dear father christmas, can you please ask them to have VLC working ? You're cool, i love your job...

Post by: jabbath on June 28, 2004, 10:06:11 am: Ok
I'd like to have a TODO-List for/of pdaXrom.
And a kernel, working for pdaXrom _and_ CackoQT at the same time.
Or rather, a pdaXrom, working with the CackoQT ROM Kernel.
I also would be fine, if there is a possibility, to run QTE/QPE/GPE on top of pdaXrom. I want to have some _fast_ working PIM apps. Xfce/matchbox/fluxbox/wmaker etc. are to desktoplike to use them as a PDA environment for me, so I'd still like to have QTE/QPE/GPE

Finally, I'd like to know, why my Zaurus has a dead pixel (red one) in the middle of the screen, when running the pdaXrom kernel, but the display is fine, when running the CackoQT-Kernel.

thanks, guys

Post by: Reaper on June 28, 2004, 11:43:39 am: As I've said before ( https://www.oesf.org/forums/inde...topic=2839&st=0 (https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=2839&st=0) ): Qtopia apps support, more drivers, more browsers, more office apps, better emulation of DOS and other platforms. Now I'd like to add: GSM/GPRS GUI tools and dialer, good GPS program with downloading of the vector maps, X and file manager better than Matchbox. The emulation of .NET (or Palm, or PPC) would be just great (though origins do suck... )

I'm not sure what the diff is between that and your second version ...
but the second one is ".1" in that dir.

both angband and zangband just need the x86 tolua to compile.
I may just go do that myself.... but thanks!

I'll test this out tonight.

Scott
ps: see the status update on the new rom...

Post by: ThC on June 28, 2004, 08:13:08 pm: some handwriting app ? like xstroke or can't we use the one from myPDA (which not seem to be qtopia based) ?
I also like the idea of a SDK rom with all the gcc tools and an include dir not write protected

I think you got the url wrong.
It's at:
http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/....5_armv5tel.ipk (http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/misc/misc/angband/angband_3.0.5_armv5tel.ipk)

Thanks for the compile. This is wildly off-topic, but I'm off to try it on Xqt!

I would love to see something newer than the 1.3.1 blackdown. As far as I know (would love to be proved wrong!), there is nothing newer for the arm and X around.

Come on Sun. We are never going to really have write once, run anywhere till you open source Java. Yeah right, like they're reading this ...

Post by: lardman on June 29, 2004, 06:44:35 am: How's about a Texas Instruments Calculator emulator (for the Ti-92+)?

Something like XTiger:
http://www.d.kth.se/~md94-jmi/tiger/ (http://www.d.kth.se/~md94-jmi/tiger/)
http://xtiger.sourceforge.net/ (http://xtiger.sourceforge.net/)

or TiEmu:
http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/ (http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tiemu/)

I looked at it a long time ago, but had troubles with the dependencies (back in those days there was no readily available GTK+ for the Z amongst other things).

I totally agree with jabbath, a kernel that allows dual booting of pdaXrom from Cacko would be ideal. Or the ablility to run Qtopia on top of pdaXrom (the inverse of running X/Qt on Cacko ROM), it would be nice not to have to reboot to move to and from pdaXrom.

Cheers,
Jerry

Hi again..
I compiled nethackqt and xstroke for pdaXrom:
http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/jabbath (http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/jabbath)

ok, it's not in the IPK yet, but put "QT_COMPACT=1" in $HOME/.nethackrc
ie: echo "QT_COMPACT=1" >> /home/root/.nethackrc

Thanks Warwick Allison for that pointer.

See: http://zaurus.spy.org/screenshots/scottyelich/pdaXrom/jpg/ (http://zaurus.spy.org/screenshots/scottyelich/pdaXrom/jpg/) for nethack with QT_COMPACT=1 set.

Scott
ps: links -g beats the HELL out of dillo -- not sure why the color grab there looks green, it wasn't that
way on the screen. Also, screenshots appear to have some jpg loss/blur -- that's from the conversion --
the original screens are NOT like that (ie: they are crisp)

I agree.

Mickey -- should this just be a straight forward compile of OPIE libs?

Post by: biospank on June 30, 2004, 12:14:17 pm: Is anyone interested to recompile qpeGPS for pdaXrom??

qpeGPS (http://qpegps.sourceforge.net/)
Title: APP WISH LIST FOR NEW PDAXROM
Post by: Reaper on June 30, 2004, 01:44:48 pm: Yes, that would be very nice. In fact, we don't have a single program for GPS on pdaX. As soon as this program is recompiled, I'll try to get some money and buy CF GPS card to test it. Also we'll need a program to download maps for different regions of the world (e.g. not only N. America or W. Europe).

Post by: jmcneill on June 30, 2004, 02:36:46 pm: Gpsdrive for the familiar x11 will untar and run on PDAXROM.

GPSDRIVE FOR X11 PDA (http://www.kraftvoll.at/software/pda.shtml)

Just go to the directory you untar to and start with ./gpsdrive!

No. If it was that simple, we would have have done it already.

It was X11 compatible in the days of 0.9.x. Some things have changed since then. Noone bothered to look into though.
